An efficient point pattern matching algorithm for articulated and multiple objects is presented in this paper. A local to global strategy is adopted to get three layered matches starting from an initial partition of the point set using clustering method. Firstly, initial match with three point correspondences is obtained through local neighborhood and exhaustive search. Then, central match is expanded from initial match by alternating between next point matching and transformation update. Finally, ambiguous boundary points are matched and classified into their correspondent parts using the estimated alignment transformations, and missing or extra points are detected and rejected as outliers. Experiments on real images present satisfying results.

The main concern in imageprocessing is computation cost. Markov random fields (MRF) based algorithms particularly require a significant computation cost. Most of implementations of this kind of algorithms are made on parallel machines. This paper investigates an original solution for real time implementation of a robust MRF-based motion detection algorithm. A PC board, based on a pipeline architecture using a single powerfull DSP and FPGA components, is developed. The algorithm and the board are described. A processing rate of 15 images per second is achieved, showing the validity of this approach.

In this paper, we employ the concept of characteristic line to show some useful properties of planar homography matrix. These properties relate the characteristic line of a planar homography matrix with Euler angles of the planar pattern. Based on the characteristic line, a new method of linear camera calibration is proposed and a strategy to select poses of planar pattern during taking calibration images is suggested. This strategy can help ensure accuracy of calibration. Experiment results including both simulated data and real images validate the method and strategy

Guided by a building concept model, which interprets building into different levels and scales, this paper presents a method to extract buildings in monocular urban aerial images without priori illuminating or orientation knowledge. By using a shadow context model, a method was proposed to estimate the direction of shadow cast to verify the raw segmentations. Building extractions are refined by context, and a method of partial snake with the aid of the shadow cast direction is proposed, which can sharply reduce the iteration complexity and the influence caused by illumination. The extraction of self-shadow on gable roof with a proposed mathematical roof model is also discussed in this paper.

This paper presents a three-step framework to remove the highlight exists on objects in certain conditions. Unlike traditional HDR (High Dynamic Range) technology requires multiple registrated image sequence; our method needs only two arbitrary images. SURF (Speeded Up Robust Features) matching algorithm is first applied to find corresponding point pairs between images; homography is then found by perspective transformation theory; minimum gray selection is used at last to eliminated the highlight and fuse related regions. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the performance of our method.
In this paper we describe modifications of irregular image segmentation pyramids based on user-interaction. We first build a hierarchy of segmentations by the minimum spanning tree based method, then regions from diff...

A method for zip code recognition is presented. 2D binary images are input to HAVNET, a neural network which employs the Hausdorff distance as a similarity metric to train the weights which are required to represent the patterns learned by the network. A new learning rule for HAVNET is also introduced. In this approach, HAVNET is combined with a multilayer neural network. The Hausdorff distance acts as a zip code filter. Only the confusing digits are input into the multilayer network for training or recognition. Experimental results show that the correct-recognition rate with zero rejection is more than 97% for a database used by the Chinese mail sorting system.

In this paper, we analyze the traditional algorithm (Circle->Phase) in the traffic-control system. And we propose a new algorithm that is proved better than the former one. By traffic flow simulation using advanced TSIS software, we get statistic data to analyze the characteristic of downstream traffic flow (DTF). Based on the mathematic model of DTF, we bring forward an algorithm to quickly decide the phase length and circle length. The algorithm adopts the real-time information according to required flow with the aim of minimizing the surplus time in each phase. It can adapt to any kind of traffic flow and has a high degree of flexibility.

Faults of sensor data will always present in sensor networks because of unreliable communication links, measurement interference and harsh environment. Developing fusion algorithms that can tolerate faults is necessary for reliable sensor network applications. In this paper, we study the fault tolerant fusion for moving vehicle classification based on Marzullo's interval fusion algorithm. The unreliable sensor data are represented using interval estimations. To reduce communication cost, quantized interval representation is adopted. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the interval fusion algorithm. By using quantized representation, the communication cost is reduced.

An efficient framework utilizing both local features and geometrical distribution for detecting facial components is presented. First, candidate facial components are efficiently collected by cascaded boosting of Haar-like features. The candidates may include false positives and multiple detections. Then, geometrical distribution of facial components is imposed on the candidates to select the optimal configuration. For simplicity, we suppose full dependence between the components and model it with multivariate Gaussian. The effectiveness of the framework is evaluated with experiments
