The earlier works in the iris classification field demonstrate a promising result when the classification is performed under an ideal environment. However, the reduction of accuracy is observed when the iris images are captured in non-ideal circumstances. This work is based on the previous work that propose iris segmentation system with ί-Means clustering algorithm. In this work, we evaluate the performance of NMF-based clustering approach to replace the ί-Means algorithm. The iris images from UBIRIS dataset are used to verify the reliability of our work to perform iris region extraction in the unconstrained environments.","PeriodicalId":6620,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"43 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87194095","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 second technique observes the duration of a skeletal object within a region of a surveilled premise for loitering detection. The third technique analyzes the differences in skeletal height to identify wall climbing. Experiment results suggest that the proposed algorithm is able to detect trespassing, loitering and wall climbing at a rate of 70%, 85% and 80% respectively.","PeriodicalId":6620,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"109 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78088676","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 surgeons can use such system during the surgery, however, they need to swap the light source between infra-red and the white light to complete the surgery. Swapping the light source causes inconvenience and increase in the time of the surgery. The current study aims to develop a method for superimposing and tracking the infrared imagery on the laparoscopic video acquired under white light. In this study, the infrared imagery was captured and registered to one of the white light imagery from the endoscope video using a 2D image registration technique. The registration technique was based on maximization of mutual information between two images. The edges on the registered infrared image was detected using canny edge detection algorithm. A homography matrix between consecutive video frames under white light was calculated after characteristic feature point detection and matching. The homography matrix was applied on the registered infrared image (only edge) and a new registered edge image was generated. The process continued for every new frame of the video under white light. The system was applied with a video acquisition rate of 20 frames per second. The system needs to be evaluated for its influence on the time of surgery.","PeriodicalId":6620,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics-Taiwan (ICCE-TW)","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-2"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77774445","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}
