Lowe 8 demonstrated a method for automatically segmenting and smoothing image curves by varying degrees. It was intended to remove noise and unnecessary fine detail, aiding subsequent processing such as grouping and matching. An alternative technique is described in this paper that is based on recursively subdividing the curve into alternative sets of sections. Rather than use thresholds on the values of curvature and its derivatives to determine the segmentation and degree of smoothing our technique is driven by three qualitative measures: (1) a criterion for selecting potential breakpoints, (2) a criterion for determining the amount of smoothing for curve sections, (3) a significance measure that determines which sections form the best selection. The advantages of the technique are robustness, scale invariance, and the absence of parameters.

This paper describes a part of a vision system that interprets hand gesticulation. The system consists of three sub-systems each of which comprises a number of modules targeted at performing specific functions. The modules contain adaptive imageprocessing and patternrecognition algorithms. The first sub-system is a hand-motion tracker that determines hand trajectory in a 3-D space using a sequence of low-resolution images. The second sub-system interprets the hand articulation using a smart sensor that provides selective views of variable resolution. The third sub-system fuses the outputs of the motion tracker and smart sensor and gives the meaning to hand gesticulation. The paper discusses the technical details of the algorithms used for interpreting hand articulation.< >

This paper presents a sensing approach where photo-transduction, multi-resolution feature extraction, scale-space integration and edge tracking are performed on a mixed (digital-analog) VLSI architecture in order to generate medium-level scene description. The proposed system is mainly targeted for robot vision applications where feature description is preferred to a set of raw or raster 2D images and edge maps. The Multiport Access photo-Receptor (MAR) is a CMOS sensor and represents the main sensory part of this integrated image acquisition system. VLSI also provides means to integrate analog computing, digital controller and DSP co-processor modules which define a powerful sensory chip set for focal plane imageprocessing. A current version of the MAR sensor which implements 256/spl times/256 pixels includes 16 analog spatial filters which simultaneously compute multiresolution edge maps. This unique 2D hexagonal smart sensor approach which performs up to 8.5/spl times/10/sup 9/ arithmetic Op/sec during the acquisition/filtering phase and 25/spl times/10/sup 9/ Logical Op/sec for scale-space integration allows high resolution image capability. It represents a significant improvement for passive sensory units in a compact assembly for computer vision applications.< >

The research effort reported in this paper focused on the evaluation of different input codings influencing the performance of a backpropagation (BP) neural network for the classification of multispectral images. The assessments of the input codings are based on the performances of a network classifier using five different input coding schemes, namely normalization, temperature, coarse, binary coded decimal and Gray codings. The clustering property, which can be visualized through the "Euclidean distance" graph, is also introduced as a tool to predict the generalization capability of each input coding method. Experimental results obtained indicated that in order to fully exploit the generalization property of the neural network, the clustering property of the spectral features must be maintained during the input coding process.< >

The paper presents a new approach for implementing a human expert's proficient interpretation skills for data and knowledge fusion in signal understanding tasks. The authors start by recognizing the fact that signal interpretation is attributed much to a human expert's domain-specific, pattern-perceiving capability of grasping raw signals by structured representations having multiple levels of abstraction. First, they attempt to organize such structured representations by using the hierarchical clustering method of data analysis. Then, based on these representations they formulate a human expert's interpretation skills as an activity of searching for an optimum combination of those perceptual units within that structured representation space being constrained by the situational data. In order to implement this activity, they introduce a genetic algorithm and apply it to the structured representation space assimilating a human analyst's creative interpreting task of flexibly shifting the focal view of attention from the coarse to the precise. They implement a working system for signal understanding of the remotesensing data of seismic prospecting.< >

Two methods of automating the process of ocean feature tracking for estimating surface currents in coastal areas are outlined. These methods involve patternrecognition and have certain advantages over the more familiar maximum cross-correlation technique of Emery et al. (1986). The first method requires three steps in its application-pattern selection, patternrecognition, and geometrical calculations-to determine both the cross- and the along-isotherm displacements. The second method calculates certain surface motion parameters, including rotation and translation in Hough parameter space. Each method is applied to sequential AVHRR IR satellite imagery off the U.S. east coast. Finally, some of the practical problems encountered in the application of these methods are described.

Simple and successful methods have been presented for deriving suspended matter concentration from optical reflectance spectra of seawater. The patternrecognition method allows multispectral radiance to be analyzed for signatures characteristic of different, independently vary phenomena and can be used to evaluate the information content. Landsat MSS data on Nov. 28, 1983 and quasi-synchronous field data at the mouth of Yellow River have been used in this paper. By patternrecognition, the first three characteristic vectors which are derived from the radiance covariance matrix are enough for this study. These vectors accounted for 98.1, 98.9, 99.2 percent respectively. The first vector is mainly loaded by visible light channels, the optical properties of suspended matter enhance the backscattered radiance in these channels. The scalar multiplier for the first vector represents the first vector weighted in each station. We get the regression equation from a least-square fit between the scalar multiplier and the logarithm of the field data observed at each station. The correlation coefficient is 0.81, which is much higher than the correlation coefficient between the radiance of single channel and the logarithm of suspended matter concentration (0.59, 0.70, 0.72, 0.37 respectively). Using the model, we get the information of concentration and distribution of suspended matter from Landsat data on Nov. 28, 1983, Oct. 5 1984, Dec. 3 1988. These results confirmed with hydrology and meteorology information were satisfactory.
Much information from remotesensingimage is fuzzy and uncertain, which greatly influences the recognition and monitoring of landscape pattern. It is more difficult to identify the types of forest landscape, due to i...

An image acquisition and processing algorithm for inspection of tire treads has been developed. The tire treads are flat strips of black rubber material used as the main component in retreading automobile tires. These treads have a complex molded design on one side (DESIGN SIDE) and a flat surface on the other side. The inspection of the Design Side of the tread is one of the key operations in the tread fabrication process impacting quality and consistency of the final product. This paper will discuss development of the main optical inspection algorithms utilized in the system design. The algorithms described in this paper were tested in the laboratory prototype of the inspection system and will be implemented in the final production system.
