Histogram of orientated gradient (HOG) has been used as a feature descriptor, because it gives robust performance in various illumination conditions. Random forest algorithm is a conventional machine learning tool, but it is new in the driving assistant application. Besides, the predicting process of our classifier is very fast because it only depends on a limited number of simple tests in each randomly-trained decision tree. Based on the HOG features and random forest algorithm, a close-range train detector has been designed. This proposed detector works as one detection module in CMS, and the correct detection rate of the close-range train was nearly 100%, which means there was no miss-detection in our control experiment. Compared with the traditional non-learning method, our learning-based approach achieves much stronger recognition ability with less false alarms.","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128756371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure temporal consistency of scene content across frames in dynamic scenes, we applied superpixel-based content alignment. Potential false detections in the binary rain map are removed using directional morphological opening. Experiments show that both superpixel-based content alignment and morphological opening are important for good rain map generation and rain intensity estimation","PeriodicalId":218806,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124817643","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compare our method with some conventional keypoint-based matching methods and the newest CNN features for scene recognition. The experimental results illustrate that our method can reasonably preserve the performance in key frame recognition when comparing with methods using online feature-shifts approach. Our proposed method provides larger tolerance of unmatched pairs which is useful for decision making in real-time systems. Moreover, our method is robust to illumination and blurring. We achieve 90% accuracy in a nighttime sequence while CNN approach only attains 60% accuracy.

Instead of using the maximum eigenvalue as the weight of each frequency band, we use the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the weight coefficient of each frequency band, which can reduce the disturbance cases by the multiple sources bands. The simulation experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of our proposed method and compare with the traditional weighted MUSIC algorithm.

Then, we combine transmit antenna selection (TAS) technique and ESM scheme to overcome the constraint that the number of transmit antennas in ESM has to be a power of two as well as to enhance its BER performance by using the space resource.
