In this paper, we report the results of some experiments on image classification and data fusion of remote sensing images, as part of ongoing efforts at the CVIP to develop a general strategy for the analysis of multimodality imaging. Statistical and Fuzzy logic approaches have been employed in these experiments. In all, six different algorithms for image classification, and an image fusion algorithm have been implemented and evaluated on common data sets. These algorithms are: (1) Supervised Parametric Bayes Classifier; (2) Non-parametric Bayesian Classifier using the Parzen density estimate; (3) Maximum a posteriori classification using the k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) approach; (4) MAP Estimation using Markov random field modeling; (5) a Fuzzy logic approach; and (6) a novel discriminate function classifier. The AMP segmentation of the regions in the image has been implemented using the Iterated Conditional Mode (ICM) optimization method. This approach provided the best results, in terms of the minimum probability of error and best reliability. A novel decision fusion algorithm, based on the a priori class conditional probability, has been applied to the classifiers' output.

A number of approaches have been proposed in the literature for reconstruction of 3-D objects from sequence of images. Yet, very few studies have been reported on the quantification/validation of the accuracy of these reconstructions. In addition, no design has been reported for a generic vision platform that can allow various modality imaging. The purpose of this paper is two folds: 1) propose a vision platform that lend itself for acquisition of calibrated sequence of images, and concurrently obtain a direct 3-D reconstruction by laser scanning; and 2) develop and implement different approaches for 3-D reconstructions from sequence of images. 3-D reconstructions will be evaluated against the 3-D scanning generated from a laser scanner. Validation of the reconstructions is made by pairwise comparison with the 3-D scanning results. Preliminary studies with the proposed vision platform show a good promise for its use in the validation of various 3-D reconstructions, registration and data fusion.

This paper describes design and implementation of a vision based platform for automated refueling tasks. The platform is an autonomous docking system in principle, with the specific application - refueling of vehicles. The system is. based on monochromatic, monocular vision, and it utilizes very specialized imageprocessing schemes. imageprocessing consists of very fast filtering and segmenting algorithms, as well as moment's computation. A robotic arm with 6 joints (FANUC M-6i), and a controller unit (R-B), does the physical work. A serial interface, with very high-level commands, connects a supercomputing machine and the robot's controller. A practical setup would probably be scaled down to a special design robot, and a single processor, controller with special VLSI chips for imageprocessing. Results are very promising; the robot can identify the cap position, orientation, and height in real time with acceptable accuracy and reliability.
Head detection is an important, but difficult task, if no restrictions such as static illumination, frontal face appearance or uniform background can be assumed. We present a system that is able to perform head detect...
