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.

This paper addresses the application of hand gesture recognition in monocular image sequences using Active Appearance Model (AAM). For this work, the proposed algorithm is conposed of constructing AAMs and fitting the models to the interest region. In training stage, according to the manual labeled feature points, the relative AAM is constructed and the corresponding average feature is obtained. In recognition stage, the interesting hand gesture region is firstly segmented by skin and movement ***, the models are fitted to the image that includes the hand gesture, and the relative features are ***, the classification is done by comparing the extracted features and average features. 30 different gestures of Chinese sign language are applied for testing the effectiveness of the method. The Experimental results are given indicating good performance of the algorithm.

A fast object detection method based on object region dissimilarity and 1-D AGADM(one dimensional average gray absolute difference maximum) between object and background isproposed for real-time defection of small offshore targets. Then computational complexity, antinoiseperformance, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain between original images and their results as afunction of SNR of original images and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve are analyzed andcompared with those existing methods of small target detection such as two dimensional average grayabsolute difference maximum (2-D AGADM), median contrast filter algorithm and multi-level filteralgorithm. Experimental results and theoretical analysis have shown that the proposed method hasfaster speed and more adaptability to small object shape and also yields improved SNR performance.

Diagnostic ultrasound is a useful and noninvasive method in clinical medicine. Although due to its qualitative, subjective and experience-based nature, ultrasound image interpretation can be influenced by image conditions such as scanning frequency and machine settings. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to extract the liver features using the joint features of fractal dimension and the entropies of texture edge co-occurrence matrix based on ultrasound images, which is not sensitive to changes in emission frequency and gain. Then, Fisher linear classifier and support vector machine are employed to test a group of 99 in-vivo liver fibrosis images from 18 patients, as well as other 273 liver images from 18 normal human volunteers.

How to improve the probability of registration and precision of localization is a hard problem, which is desiderated to solve. The two basic approaches (normalized cross-correlation and phase correlation) for image registration are analysed, two improved approaches based on spatial-temporal relationship are presented. This method adds the correlation matrix according to the displacements in x-direction and y-direction, and the registration pose is searched in the added matrix. The method overcomes the shortcoming that the probability of registration decreasing with area increasing owing to geometric distortion, improves the probability and the robustness of registration.

This paper proposes a fast and robust algorithm for classification and recognition of ships based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The three-dimensional ship models are achieved by modeling software of MultiGen, and then they are projected by Vega simulating software for two-dimensional ship silhouettes. The PCA method as against the Back-Propagation (BP) neural network method for simulated ship recognition using training and testing experiments, we can see that there is a sharp contrast between them. Some recognition results from simulated data are presented, the correct recognition rate of PCA method improved rapidly for each of the five ship types than that of neural network method, the number of times a ship type is recognized as one of the other ships is reduced greatly.

Rectification for airborne linear images is an indispensable preprocessing step. This paper presents in detail a two-step rectification algorithm. The first step is to establish the model of direct georeference position using the data provided by the Positioning and Orientation System (POS) and obtain the mathematical relationships between the image points and ground reference points. The second step is to apply polynomial distortion model and Bilinear Interpolation to get the final precise rectified images. In this step, a reference image is required and some ground control points (GCPs) are selected. Experiments showed that the final rectified images are satisfactory, and that our two-step rectification algorithm is very effective.

Scale is a major concept in many sciences concerned with human activities and physical processes occurring in the world, and directly related to many investigations of spatial objects, including the procedure of spatial data mining. In this paper, we attempt to apply the spatial data mining to the field of coal mining, and the technical notion is to generate patterns or rules by means of different scale databases that depict the same subject. The whole research procedure gives readers an understanding of how processes operate at different scales and how they can be linked across scales. At the same time, our study actually presents a new method of image mining as well.
