In this paper an approach to detect smoke columns from outdoor forest video sequences is proposed. The approach follows three basic steps. The first step is an image pre-processing block which resizes the image by applying a bicubic interpolation algorithm. The image is then transformed to its intensity values with a gray-scale transformation and finally the image is grouped by common areas with an image indexation. The second step consists of a smoke detection algorithm which performs a stationary wavelet transform (SWT) to remove high frequencies on horizontal, vertical, and diagonal details. The inverse SWT is then implemented and finally the image is compared to a non-smoke scene in order to determine the possible regions of interest (ROI). In order to reduce the number of false alarms, the final step of the proposed approach consists on a smoke verification algorithm, which determines whether the ROI is increasing its area or not. These results are combined to reach a final decision for detecting a smoke column on a sequence of static images from an outdoor video. Experimental results show that multi-resolution wavelet analysis is more accurate than the traditional low-pass filters on this application.

With the development of remote sensing technology, using remote sensing images to do change detection is becoming a hotspot. This paper introduces the research status of pixel-based and object-based change detection technology as well as comments on several change detection methods. A technique for pixel-based change detection by integrating the intensity and texture differences between two frames is studied. An object-based change detection method based on this technique is proposed. Experimental results show that the integrated measure is robust with respect to the illumination changes and noise, the performance of which is outstanding especially when applied to object-based change detection because of pixels' consistency in an object and sharp contrast between objects.

As the result of the requirements of accuracy and speediness of indoor localization algorithm, we improved the performance of corner detection algorithm. In this paper, the theory of multi-scale is introduced into the classical harris algorithm, and detects local maximum points at each scale level. This method might overcome the drawback that the single-scale harris detector usually leads to either missing significant corners or detecting false corners due to noise, and it not only maintains the advantages of traditional harris corner which is invariant to the changes of intensity and camera pose but also can be used in multi-scale. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

To effectively avoid light and ads subtitles influence on the video detection, this paper presents a method of video abrupt shot change detection based on the color space of YUV. We take advantage of the separable feature of YUV color space model to detect abrupt shot change preliminary through the Y component histogram. Then we utilize the characteristic of U component, which is not sensitive to light, to eliminate false change frames caused by flash, and the abrupt shot change is detected finally. Results show that the method proposed in the paper can detect abrupt shot change efficiently.

Novelty detection is often treated as a one-class classification problem: how to segment a data set of examples from everything else that would be considered novel or abnormal. Almost all existing novelty detection techniques, however, suffer from diminished performance when the number of less relevant, redundant or noisy features increases, as often the case with high-dimensional feature spaces. Many of these algorithms are also not suited for online use, a trait that is highly desirable for many robotic applications. We present a novelty detection algorithm that is able to address this sensitivity to high feature dimensionality by utilizing prior class information within the training set. Additionally, our anytime algorithm is well suited for online use when a constantly adjusting environmental model is beneficial. We apply this algorithm to online detection of novel perception system input on an outdoor mobile robot and argue such abilities could be key in increasing the real-world applications and impact of mobile robotics.

In ad hoc networks and wireless sensor networks, several routing algorithms rely on the knowledge by the network nodes of their own geographic location and those of others. For cases where a node doesn't have its own positioning device (e.g., GPS), Alfaro et al. propose several algorithms that a node can run to determine its geographic position using position reports from neighbors. In this paper, we first present the evil ring attack, an attack on the geographic location algorithms of Alfaro et al. that misleads nodes about the true position of their neighbors. An attacker sends false reports with a position that sits on a circle centered at the victim's location and of a radius equal to the distance between the victim and attacker. The attack succeeds because the calculation of the distance between the victim and attacker is not affected despite this fake position. We then present and analyze an evil ring attack detection algorithm in which a position-unaware sensor node crosschecks the consistency of the information it collects from its neighbors with the information collected by other trusted neighbors. This algorithm detects the existence of neighbors running the evil ring attack. We propose a general distributed algorithm for a) localizing sensors in a wireless sensor network in the presence of some malfunctioning ones, and b) detecting such malfunctioning sensors.

In this paper, we consider a novel low-complexity image processing-based approach to the detection of neonatal clonic seizures. Our approach is based on the extraction, from a video recording of a newborn, of an average luminosity signal representative of the body movements. Since clonic seizures are characterized by periodic movements of parts of the body (e.g., the limbs), by evaluating the periodicity of the extracted average luminosity signal it is possible to estimate the presence of a seizure. The periodicity is detected, through a hybrid autocorrelation-Yin estimation technique, on a per-window basis, where a window is constituted by a sequence of consecutive video frames. While we first consider single windows, we extend our approach to a scenario with interlaced windows. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated, in terms of sensitivity and specificity, considering video recordings of newborns affected by neonatal seizures. Our results show that the use of interlaced windows guarantees both sensitivity and specificity values above 90%.

SAX is the representative time series representation method. SAX used the PAA technique to reduce the dimension of time series. But PAA technique has the demerit that cannot represent various movement shapes of time series exactly in lower dimensional space, since its smoothing effect distorts the dynamic characteristic of time series. Therefore, this paper suggests new representation method of time series using PIPs detection technique. The proposed method can represent various movement shapes of times series exactly than SAX. Because the PIP is the most important factor that determines the movement shapes of time series. The experimental result shows that the proposed time series representation is superior to SAX.

Road detection is an important problem with application to driver assistance systems and autonomous, self-guided vehicles. The focus of this paper is on the problem of feature extraction and classification for front-view road detection. Specifically, we propose using Support Vector Machines (SVM) for road detection and effective approach for self-supervised online learning. The proposed road detection algorithm is capable of automatically updating the training data for online training which reduces the possibility of misclassifying road and non-road classes and improves the adaptability of the road detection algorithm. The algorithm presented here can also be seen as a novel framework for self-supervised online learning in the application of classification-based road detection algorithm on intelligent vehicle.
