The most standard image object detectors are usually comprised of one or multiple feature extractors or classifiers within a sliding window framework. Nevertheless, this type of approach has demonstrated a very limited performance under datasets of cluttered scenes and real life situations. To tackle these issues, LIDAR space is exploited here in order to detect 2D objects in 3D space, avoiding all the inherent problems of regular sliding window techniques. Additionally, we propose a relational parts-based pedestrian detection in a probabilistic non-iid framework. With the proposed framework, we have achieved state-of-the-art performance in a pedestrian dataset gathered in a challenging urban scenario. The proposed system demonstrated superior performance in comparison with pure sliding-window-based image detectors.

Safe operation of a motor vehicle requires awareness of the current traffic situation as well as the ability to predict future maneuvers. In order to provide an intelligent vehicle the ability to make predictions, this work proposes a framework for understanding the driving situation based on vehicle mounted vision sensors. Vehicles are tracked using Kalman filtering based on a vision-based system that detects and tracks using a combination of monocular and stereo-vision. The vehicles' full trajectories are recorded, and a data-driven learning framework has been applied to automatically learn surround behaviors. By learning based on observations, the ADAS system is being trained by experience. Learned trajectories have been compared between dense and free-flowing traffic conditions. Preliminary experimental results using real-world multi-lane highways show the basic promise of this approach. Future research directions are discussed.

We present a robust radiometric calibration method that capitalizes on the transform invariant low-rank structure of sensor irradiances recorded from a static scene with different exposure times. We formulate the radiometric calibration problem as a rank minimization problem. Unlike previous approaches, our method naturally avoids over-fitting problem;therefore, it is robust against biased distribution of the input data, which is common in practice. When the exposure times are completely unknown, the proposed method can robustly estimate the response function up to an exponential ambiguity. The method is evaluated using both simulation and real-world datasets and shows a superior performance than previous approaches.

In order for an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to drive in off-road terrain at high speeds, it must analyze and understand its surrounding terrain in realtime: it must know where it intends to go, where are the hazards, and many details of the topography of the terrain. Much research has been done in the way of obstacle avoidance, terrain classification, and path planning, but still so few UGV systems can accurately traverse off-road environments at high speeds autonomously. One of the most dangerous hazards found off-road are negative obstacles, mainly because they are so difficult to detect. We present algorithms that analyze the terrain using a point cloud produced by a 3D laser range finder, then attempt to classify the negative obstacles using both a geometry-based method we call the Negative Obstacle DetectoR (NODR) as well as a support vector machine (SVM) algorithm. The terrain is analyzed with respect to a large UGV with the sensor mounted up high as well as a small UGV with the sensor mounted low to the ground.

In this paper we present a new method for automatic object detection in images and video sequences. As a classifier the popular Ad aBoost algorithm is used, that combines several weak classifiers into one strong classifier. To create a detector based on this classifier, the weak classifiers are set into relation during boosting by using a geometric model. All votes of the weak detectors are evaluated in a voting space. The voting space allows a detection with combinations of different object features. We trained and tested the proposed method with SIFT and kAS features and combinations of these. The learned detector is then used to localize objects in images and video sequences. The performance of the algorithm is examined based on selected image data.

A typical video surveillance system consists of at least one camera, controlled by an operator. To decrease the human error rate and to generally lessen the burden of operators, many object tracking systems have been implemented, most of which work in 2D image space. If used centralized, this is a very expensive task. Furthermore, if several views are to be fused, large inaccuracies arise due to ground plane assumptions, for instance. Lastly, in outdoor setups, quite often there is a need for slower channels like Wireless LAN which cannot cope with the full resolution data stream. We provide a smart camera system which performs the intensive tasks like background estimation or feature extraction. A central unit only has to process the received data in feature space, increasing scalability. Additionally, the object tracking problem is converted to an accurate 3D feature tracking, avoiding difficulties such as proper object segmentation and adding increased trajectory accuracy. The feature regions are computed within the smart camera. A wide-baseline feature matching approach has been employed to allow more freedom in the placement of the single smart cameras.

Retinal vessel tortuosity has shown to be significantly associated with cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Despite importance of this field a few techniques have been proposed yet. All previous methods rely on a vessel extraction phase, which its accuracy affects final output and also time consuming. Nobility of presented algorithm is to introduce a method for evaluating retinal vessel tortuosity without any explicit vessel detection. We use the Circular Hough Transform (CHT) based on gradient field of the retinal image. Each vessel curve is detected as a semi-circle by Hough transform and tortuosity of the curve is determined with the help of accumulated value of circle center and its radius. As there are no any specific database for tortuosity evaluation, the algorithm was tasted on database consisting of 40 images, mixture of DRIVE database and images from Khatam-Al-Anbia Hospital consisting of 40 retinal images, of which 20 were tortuous and 20 were non-tortuous. The proposed algorithm can achieve classification rate of 92% along with less computation time in compare of previous methods.
