In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a powerful technique for the visualization of blood vessels in the human body. Blood vessel segmentation is a main problem for 3D vascular reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive thresholding method for the segmentation of DSA images. Each pixel of the DSA images is declared to be a vessel/background point with regard to a threshold and a few local characteristic limits depending on some information contained in the pixel neighborhood window. The size of the neighborhood window is set according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels to make sure that each window contains the background definitely. Some experiments on cerebral DSA images are given, which show that our proposed method yields better results than global thresholding methods and some other local thresholding methods do.
The use of plane graphs for the description of image structure and shape representation poses two problems : (1) how to obtain the set of vertices, the set of edges and the incidence relation of the graph, and (2) how...

In this paper, we propose a novel automatic object extraction algorithm, named the Template Guided Live Wire, based on the popularly used live-wire techniques. We discuss in details the novel method’s applications on tongue extraction in digital images. With the guides of a given template curve which approximates the tongue’s shape, our method can finish the extraction of tongue without any human intervention. In the paper, we also discussed in details how the template guides the live wire, and why our method functions more effectively than other boundary based segmentation methods especially the snake algorithm. Experimental results on some tongue images are as well provided to show our method’s better accuracy and robustness than the snake algorithm.

This paper gives a robust motion detection and tracking solution for a video surveillance application on an airport's apron. As an outdoor application, the system must be capable of adapting to a wide range of weather conditions and illumination changes. Furthermore, the achromaticity of the scene and the presence of occlusions in the tracking process are issues considered in the selection of the motion detector and tracking system respectively. We propose an adapted mixture of Gaussians model with RGB colour normalisation to detect mobile objects in the scene and a region tracking method based on significant mobile object features to track individuals and vehicles on the selected airport's apron. The performance of the proposed motion detector is evaluated using pixel-based performance metrics and compared with other existing methods. The capability of the application to handle partial occlusions is tested on the region tracker.
Distracted driving is a phenomenon that drivers’ attention points to activities unrelated to normal driving, which leads to the decline of driving operation ability. With the popularity of smart phones, traffic accid...

A novel method of image segmentation based on Faster-RCNN and microarray camera (3 × 3) is proposed in this paper, we use the microarray camera to obtain nine images in the same scene and use nine array images to achieve image segmentation. Through the microarray camera, we can obtain images quickly. The result of microarray camera and high-speed camera is similar, the shooting interval is short and the disparity information between array images is small. We use the Faster-RCNN algorithm and the GrabCut algorithm to segment target for the array images. Because of the size of microarray camera is small, it can be widely used on portable devices in the further. In comparison to Faster-RCNN network, the experimental results show that the proposed method is more efficient.

The concept of an occlusion mesh model is introduced. An object tracking algorithm based on an occlusion mesh model is proposed. A modified occlusion detection method is considered to improve the detection accuracy. A mesh nodes motion estimation method based on feature window matching is presented to achieve sub-pixel resolution and overcome block artifacts produced by block matching. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is practical and feasible, it can be used for object tracking effectively. Also it solves the 2D motion estimation problem existing in occlusion regions and shows better visual performance.
