In this paper, a new non-parametric generalized formulation to statistical pressure snakes is presented. We discuss the shortcomings of the traditional pressure snakes. We then introduce a new generic pressure model that alleviates these shortcomings, based on the Bayesian decision theory. Non-parametric techniques are used to obtain the statistical models that drive the snake. We discuss the advantages of using the proposed non-parametric model compared to other parametric techniques. Multi-colored-target tracking is used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach. Experimental results show enhanced, real-time performance.

This article reports on the Sixth Robot World Cup Competition and Conference (RoboCup-2002) Fukuoka/Busan, which took place from 19 to 25 June in Fukuoka, Japan. It was the largest RoboCup since 1997 and held the first humanoid league competition in the world. Further, the first ROBOTREX (robot trade and exhibitions) was held with about 50 companies, universities, and institutes represented. A total of 117,000 spectators witnessed this marvelous event, To the best of our knowledge, this was the largest robotic event in history.

In this paper, a new technique for object classification from silhouettes is presented. Hidden Markov Models are used as a classification mechanism. Through a set of experiments, we show the validity of our approach and show its invariance under severe rotation conditions. Also, a comparison with other techniques that use Hidden Markov Models for object classification from silhouettes is presented.

The ability to detect shadows is a critical feature of any intelligent transportation system (ITS). The improper handling of shadows can be the cause of erroneous conclusions in traffic analysis. As vision-based ITS applications are becoming more popular, it is important to minimize the effects of shadows. Here, we present a novel method for shadow handling in a sequence of images. Following recent work motivated by studies of the statistics of natural images, we show that this new method is a reliable detector of shadows and can be easily implemented in real-time.

The goal of tills project Is to develop a passive vision-based sensing system. The system will be capable of monitoring an intersection by observing the vehicle and pedestrian flow, and predicting situations that might give rise to accidents. A single camera looking at all intersection from an arbitrary position is used. However, for extended applications, multiple cameras will be needed. Some of the key elements are camera calibration, motion tracking, vehicle classification, and situations giving rise to collisions. In this paper, we focus on motion tracking. Motion segmentation is performed using an adaptive background model that models each pixel as a mixture of Gaussians. The method used is similar to the method of Stauffer et at. for motion segmentation. Tracking of objects is performed by computing the overlap between oriented bounding boxes. The oriented boxes are computed by vector quantization of the blobs in the scene. The principal angles computed during vector quantization along with other cues of the object are used for classification of detected entities into vehicles and pedestrians.

A fundamental problem in computervision is the issue of shape ambiguity. Simply stated, a silhouette cannot uniquely identify an object or an object's classification since many unique objects can present identical occluding contours. This problem has no solution in the general case for a monocular vision system. This paper presents a method for disambiguating objects during silhouette matching using a visual servoing system. This method identifies the camera motion(s) that gives disambiguating views of the objects. These motions are identified through a new technique called contour migration. The occluding contour's shape is used to identify objects or object classes that are potential matches for that shape. A contour migration is then determined that disambiguates the possible matches by purposive viewpoint adjustment. The technique is demonstrated using an example set of objects.
