Multimedia files often contain sensitive content that should be unseen by human observer. Therefor a novel system for censorship of video images based on spectral domain watermarking is described in the present paper. Faces are detected by face detection algorithms and embedded as watermarks into the images. Then these areas are blurred to protect privacy. The whole MJPEG video is also embedded as watermark to protect against tampering. Adaptive reconstruction allows low quality reconstruction of tampered areas and high quality reconstruction of protected faces.","PeriodicalId":284922,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 9th International Workshop on Multidimensional (nD) Systems (nDS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129213105","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}

This paper is focused on the fusion of detected pedestrians from different viewing angles, especially from a surveillance system and from a moving car. Therefore, a combination of the available information inside of a generated world map, which is based on the global positioning system (GPS), is presented. The model for transforming detections with assumed uncertainties into the world map, and an attempt to combine separate independent single detections from different views to a unique one are results of the paper. Besides the combination of information, an evaluation of the detection accuracy of a surveillance system and a monocular object detection driver assistance system is presented. This evaluation discloses drawbacks as well as benefits of an information mapping from different viewing angles into a global world map.","PeriodicalId":284922,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 9th International Workshop on Multidimensional (nD) Systems (nDS)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132838735","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 give them the possibility to move free and autonomous in their environment an intelligent assistance system is proposed which can be mounted on a walking frame is used to observe the scene in walking direction, and obstacles have to be detected. Especially, stairways represent a high risk of injury if a collapse occurs. For stairway recognition, an algorithm is proposed which estimates normal vectors by using a covariance matrix and this makes it possible to segment the point cloud data provided by the Kinect sensor. The calculation of surface normal vectors of these regions helps to detect ascending and descending stairways.","PeriodicalId":284922,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE 9th International Workshop on Multidimensional (nD) Systems (nDS)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116615542","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}
