In many real world situations, and in the ETISEO evaluation, it is advantageous to be able to track multiple classes of objects. In this paper we describe the adaptation of a single class tracking system to a multi-class tracking system, and describe a modified version of the condensation filter that can be used to track all objects, of all classes. We show that by using simple targeted detectors, we can achieve accurate tracking and can accurately distinguish between classes.","PeriodicalId":289876,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129362139","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}

These methods can be applied to video sequences taken from an aircraft, but do not reveal the overall size, orientation or geographic location of the target. If the camera is combined with a system that records its location, orientation and focal length, at least approximately for a few of the images, the target size, orientation and location can be estimated In certain cases, some of this information can be estimated from the image sequence itself. This paper considers the theory and practice of combining the shape extraction with the available camera information.","PeriodicalId":289876,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127356495","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}

First, we use the Canny edge detector to extract edge information from the images. Secondly, the Hough transform is applied to the edge map in order to reveal the linear edge distribution in the Hough transform domain. Thirdly, by using a Band-wise matching (BWM) algorithm, we partition the Hough transform domain into a number of bands and calculate the centroid of the Hough peaks in each band. By carrying out the same aforementioned procedures on a query image and the images in the database, we measure the similarity between the centroids of the query image and the images in the database. Finally, based on the similarity measures, the CBIR system ranks the images in the database and retrieves a specified number of images with the highest rankings.","PeriodicalId":289876,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128795436","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}

The object shapes that undergo nonlinear deformable changes are assumed to lie in a low dimensional feature subspace and form clusters after a nonlinear mapping. They are approximated by a probabilistic density model to explore the structure of data distribution. The obtained probability is treated as a shape energy term and is incorporated into geodesic active contour equation to constrain the further curve evolution process. This shape prior model is based on a more sophisticated statistical learning of the training data distribution and thus is more robust in presence of occlusions and cluttered background. Experiments demonstrate its promising detection performance for the intended tasks.","PeriodicalId":289876,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129187647","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}

The proposed approach is implemented as a conditional sub-block bi-histogram equalization (CSBE). This is accomplished by first, decomposing an input image into a number of m x n sub-blocks. Second, the threshold of each sub-block is determined independently. Third, the sub-block is divided into two sub-images based on the threshold. Fourth, only pixels having value greater than the threshold are histogram equalized, and the two sub-images are then recombined. The proposed method is tested on various DNA microarray images, giving excellent results, compared to existing methods.","PeriodicalId":289876,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE International Conference on Video and Signal Based Surveillance","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121148152","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}
