Vehicle occupants that are out-of-position can be deadly injured by the deployment of the air bag in a crash situation. In recent years many different sensors and systems have been proposed to detect the type of occupant and the position of the occupant's head. This work presents a method for classification and occupant's head detection based on passive stereo vision. The proposed system uses depth surface analysis and scene statistics together with support vector machines for classification and selection of head candidates. Evaluation of the method shows 99% correct for classification and 98% correct for head detection, using large sets of image data, and image sequences recorded in a driving vehicle.

Microscopic halftone imagerecognition and analysis can provide quantitative evidence for printing quality control and fault diagnosis of printing devices, while halftone image segmentation is one of the significant steps during the procedure. Automatic segmentation on microscopic dots by the aid of the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) method that takes account of the fuzziness of halftone image and utilizes its color information adequately is realized. Then some examples show the technique effective and simple with better performance of noise immunity than some usual methods. In addition, the segmentation results obtained by the FCM in different color spaces are compared, which indicates that the method using the FCM in the f1f2f3 color space is superior to the rest.

A method for the elimination of cracks in infrared reflectograms is presented. Infrared reflectograms show the underdrawing - the basic concept of the artist drawn on the ground layer - in ancient wood panel paintings. Caused by the different mechanical behaviour of the panel and the covering ground layer during the aging of the painting, cracks appear. Cracks not only disturb the appearance of a painting, but are also a problem for segmenting the lines and strokes of the underdrawing. A method based on mathematical morphology, namely morphological reconstruction with viscosity, is used to eliminate the cracks while keeping as much detail as possible in the brush strokes. A priori information that the cracks are usually thinner than the brush strokes and have a preferred orientation is taken into account.

In order to create a complete three-dimensional model of an object based on its two-dimensional images, the images have to be acquired from different views. An increasing number of views generally improves the accuracy of the final 3D model but it also increases the time needed to build the model. The number of the possible views can theoretically be infinite. Therefore, it makes sense to try to reduce the number of views to a minimum while preserving a certain accuracy of the model, especially in applications for which the performance is an important issue. We show an approach to next view planning for a fusion of shape from Silhouette, as an example of a passive 3D reconstruction technique, and shape from structured light, as an example of an active 3D reconstruction technique in order to get 3D shape reconstruction with minimal different views. Results of the algorithm developed are presented for both synthetic and real input images.

A major obstacle to the broader use of 3D object reconstruction and modeling is the extent of manual intervention needed. Such interventions are currently extensive and exist throughout every phase of a 3D reconstruction project: collection of images, image management, establishment of sensor position and image orientation, extracting the geometric information describing an object, and merging geometric, texture and semantic data. We present a fully automated approach to pottery reconstruction based on the fragment profile, which is the cross-section of the fragment in the direction of the rotational axis of symmetry. We demonstrate the method and give results on synthetic and real data.

Motivated by the requirements of the present archaeology, we are developing an automated system for archaeological classification and reconstruction of ceramics. Due to the nature of ceramics, most of the excavated vessels are in the form of fragments called sherds. Only a few of the finds are complete, however these finds are the most important and interesting ones. Therefore we are developing a system that handles both complete and broken vessels using two different reconstruction strategies: A shape from silhouette based method for complete vessels and a profile based method for fragments. The profile is the cross-section of the fragment in the direction of the rotational axis of symmetry and can be represented by a closed curve in the plane. For complete vessels the 3D reconstruction is based on a sequence of images of the object taken from different viewpoints. Then the output of both algorithms is used to construct the 3D model of the vessel for classification and display.
We present a new method (MIDES) to determine contraction kernels for the construction of graph pyramids. Experimentally the new method has a reduction factor higher than 2.0. Thus, the new method yields a higher reduc...
