Invited observers\u0000 were asked to assort all displayed samples into tablet groups using six surface colors (aqua blue, bright green, pink, orange yellow, bright red, and silvery white), and all perceived similarity values were recorded and compared to original samples successively. The results showed that the\u0000 similarity perception of tested tablets was inapparently affected by the given shape features and notch features, and it should be judged by a flexible interval rather than by a fixed color difference.

Recently, the improved Siamese network tracking algorithm has achieved\u0000 excellent results on various challenging data sets. However, most of the improved algorithms use local fixed search strategies, which cannot update the template. In addition, the template will introduce background interference, which will lead to tracking drift and eventually cause tracking\u0000 failure. In order to solve these problems, this article proposes an improved fully connected Siamese tracking algorithm combined with object contour extraction and object detection, which uses the contour template of the object instead of the bounding-box template to reduce the background\u0000 clutter interference. First, the contour detection network automatically obtains the closed contour information of the object and uses the flood-filling clustering algorithm to obtain the contour template. Then, the contour template and the search area are fed into the improved Siamese network\u0000 to obtain the optimal tracking score value and adaptively update the contour template. If the object is fully obscured or lost, the YoLo v3 network is used to search the object in the entire field of view to achieve stable tracking throughout the process. A large number of qualitative and\u0000 quantitative simulation results on benchmark test data set and the flying data set show that the improved model can not only improve the object tracking performance under complex backgrounds, but also improve the response time of airborne systems, which has high engineering application value.","PeriodicalId":15924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Imaging Science and Technology","volume":"64 1","pages":"40409-1-40409-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45720604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In such intelligence applications, identity recognition of the specific member in indoor spaces will be a crucial issue. In this study, a combined audio-visual identity recognition approach was developed. In this approach, visual information\u0000 obtained from face detection was incorporated into acoustic Gaussian likelihood calculations for constructing speaker classification trees to significantly enhance the Gaussian mixture model (GMM)-based speaker recognition method. This study considered the privacy of the monitored person and\u0000 reduced the degree of surveillance. Moreover, the popular Kinect sensor device containing a microphone array was adopted to obtain acoustic voice data from the person. The proposed audio-visual identity recognition approach deploys only two cameras in a specific indoor space for conveniently\u0000 performing face detection and quickly determining the total number of people in the specific space. Such information pertaining to the number of people in the indoor space obtained using face detection was utilized to effectively regulate the accurate GMM speaker classification tree design.\u0000 Two face-detection-regulated speaker classification tree schemes are presented for the GMM speaker recognition method in this study—the binary speaker classification tree (GMM-BT) and the non-binary speaker classification tree (GMM-NBT). The proposed GMM-BT and GMM-NBT methods achieve\u0000 excellent identity recognition rates of 84.28% and 83%, respectively; both values are higher than the rate of the conventional GMM approach (80.5%). Moreover, as the extremely complex calculations of face recognition in general audio-visual speaker recognition tasks are not required, the proposed\u0000 approach is rapid and efficient with only a slight increment of 0.051 s in the average recognition time.","PeriodicalId":15924,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Imaging Science and Technology","volume":"64 1","pages":"40404-1-40404-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48786748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
