In this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy logic data association algorithm to resolve the problem of visual multi-object tracking. First of all, a fuzzy logic data association approach is proposed to calculate the association probabilities between the objects and observations (or detection responses) by use of a set of fuzzy if-then rules. Based on the similarities of object appearance, shape and motion models, several fuzzy inference systems are designed to confirm the fuzzy membership degrees between the objects and observations, the association probability is generated by weighted affinities, where the weight of the affinity is the output of fuzzy logic. Finally, the experiment results on several public sequences demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has superiorities over other comparatively leading tracking algorithms in terms of accuracy and robustness.

Modified Gram Schmidt (MGS) is one of the well-known forms of QR decomposition (QRD) algorithms. It has been used in many signal and imageprocessing applications to solve least square problem, linear equations or to invert matrices. Nevertheless, QRD is considered a computationally expensive operation, and its sequential implementation doesn't meet the requirements of many real time applications. In this paper, we propose an optimized MGS algorithm version based on software pipelining and loop unrolling techniques. The suggested MGS version is parallel and well suited for vLIW architectures. The implementation is done under TI C6678 vLIW DSP and the obtained results show great improvements against the standard MGS and the optimized vendor QRD implementations.

image classification is one of the most important tasks in image analysis and computer vision. BP neural network is a successful classifier for the task. However, with regard to the low study efficiency and the slow convergence speed in BP algorithm, some optimization algorithms have been proposed for achieving better results. Among all these methods, BP neural network improved by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) may be the most successful and classical ones. Nevertheless, both GA and PSO are easy to fall into the local optimal solution, which has a great impact on the precision of classification. As a result, a novel optimization algorithm called sine cosine algorithm (SCA) is presented to improve the classification performance. The experimental results manifest that the proposed method has good performances, and the classification accuracy is better than BP neural network optimized by GA, PSO or other algorithms.

During transmission and reception the images are degraded by noise. Also images captured using different low quality devices adversely affect the visual quality of images. The presence of the noise results in loss of visibility, gives a mottled, grainy, textured, or snowy appearance. Thus making the imagevisually unpleasing which drastically affects the human vision. In addition during imageprocessing, presence of noise makes it hard for further processing (impulse, Gaussian white, salt and pepper, adversarial etc.,). Existing methods use conventional filters and Neural network models for image denoising where they compromise with the visibility of image after rigorous iterations of denoising algorithms. In this paper we implement CGANs for image denoising and evaluate the performance of CGAN with different Neural network models viz., CNN,GAN for single or multiple image denoising problem. The qualitative performance of de-noised image/images is measured using PSNR and confusion matrix.

Dynamic tracking of tumor with radiation beam in radiation therapy requires prediction of real-time target location ahead of beam delivery as the treatment beam with beam or gating tracking brings in time latency. We proposed an adaptive boosting (Adaboost) method based on the multi-layer neural network (MLP-NN) to predict the respiratory signal accuracy in our previous study. Recently, several variants of Adaboost methods showed great potential for the regression prediction problem. Hence, we investigated the prediction performance of four popular adaptive boosting method based on the MLP-NN for the respiratory prediction problem in this study. The root-mean-square-error (RMSE), correlation coefficient (CC) and maximum error (ME) between predicted and real respiratory signals, obtained from the Real-time Position Management, were used to evaluated the prediction performance. The Adaboost. RT method and the Adaboost method used in our previous study get the best RMSE and CC while the Adaboost. BCC obtained the best ME. The experiment results demonstrated that appropriate Adaboost method based on MLP-NN could predict the respiratory signal accuracy.

Contemporary production lines often make extensive use of image recognition to achieve high levels of automation. Shorter product life cycles and smaller lot sizes force companies to adapt their processes very quickly. Still, industrial imageprocessingalgorithms typically run on dedicated computer systems next to the cameras, which is rather inflexible and leads to high costs for hardware and maintenance. In this paper, we propose a service -based architecture to tackle these problems. We divide imageprocessing applications into universal building blocks, each of which is implemented as web service. The recognition application is conceived as a composition of these services, orchestrated using the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). The composed application is provided with a standard industrial interface (OPC UA) for easy integration into the production process. This concept is evaluated by assessing proof-of-concept implementations. Main advantages (among others) are the flexible reuse of existing imageprocessing operations and applications, and the freedom to implement services independently using the preferred language, framework and platform. Challenges are real-time constraints, which can be alleviated by emerging technologies like Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.v.

Increasing demands for unmanned systems and the availability of high resolution satellite images have been promoting researchers to contribute innovations to increase the robustness and efficiency of the optimal path planning. An effectively classified satellite image and a robust path planning strategy are highly desirable in finding an optimal path. In this paper, satellite images from ISPRS are classified to identify the traversable areas using a Deep Convolutional Encoder-Decoder architecture-Seg Net and cost map is generated. Using the cost map, Modified Gain based Ant Colony optimization(MGACO) is introduced to find an energy efficient path. The path is finally smoothened using Bezier Spline approximation. MGACO has been compared with up-to-date algorithms and results outperform existing methods in terms of run time and length of the path.
The task of the work is to improve the quality of digital imageprocessing in vision systems by developing new features based on the use of fractal theory in conjunction with fuzzy logic and the theory of fuzzy sets. ...
