In this paper, we describe a novel 3D shape retrieval method based on new features. The features are extracted for 3D points based on a 2D attribute space which consists of two bidirectional 3D shape attributes, one of which along the shape surface direction and the other along the shape content direction perpendicular to the former. We define this features as Point Bidirectional Features (PBFs), which can reflect not only the global shape but also the local content. For simplicity, we choose the geodesic distance (GD) and the shape diameter function (SDF) to construct PBFs. Given a database of 3D shapes and a query shape, the proposed retrieval method adopts a shape similarity measurement based on 3D points matching with PBFs to decide which is the most similar shape from the database. To reduce cost of computation and feature storage, a shape simplification algorithm is integrated into this method. Additionally, a simple but effective point correspondence mechanism with K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) assignment is designed for this retrieval method. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed features and method.

Since fully automatic image segmentation on natural images is usually hard to provide guaranteed results, interactive scheme with a few simple user inputs becomes a good alternative. This paper presents a novel interactive method based on regional attacking and merging mechanism within a cellular automaton(CA) framework. With an attacking rule based on regions maximal similarity, the adjacent homogeneous regions that are initialized by pre-segmentation are automatically merged and labeled, the users only need to indicate the object and background regions with rough markers. The whole process needn't set any similarity threshold in advance and the desired contours are effectively extracted by labeling all the non-marker regions as either background or object. Extensive experiments are performed and the results show that the proposed scheme can reliably extract the object contours from the complex background.

Road sign detection plays an important role in driver assistance system. However, it faces problems of high computational cost and low contrast in video sequences. In this paper, we propose a two-level hierarchical algorithm which addresses these problems by making better use of the color and shape information of road signs. In order to solve the problem of low image contrast, we propose to improve the color contrast using our algorithm based on visual saliency. In order to reduce the high computational cost, an improved radial symmetry transform (IRST) is developed for grouping feature points on the basis of their underlying symmetry in an image. Experimental results show that our methods are robust to a broad range of lighting conditions and efficient enough for real-time applications.
In this paper, we try to deal with the problem of shadow detection from static images and video sequences. In instead to considering individual regions separately, we use relative illumination conditions between segme...

A novel distinctive descriptor named MSOGH is proposed, which is able to well represent the interest region and is robust to photometric transformations and geometric transformations. According to intensity order, subregions are firstly constructed. Then feature descriptor of the subregion is computed by point permutation of the sample points in each subregion. Finally, feature descriptor of the region is formed by concatenating all subregion feature descriptors. The discriminative power of the proposed descriptor is compared with 5 major existing region descriptors (MROGH, SIFT, GLOH, PCA-SIFT and spin images). Extensive experimental results show that the proposed descriptor achieves better performance than state-of-the-art descriptors.

Weak boundary contrast, inhomogeneous background and overlapped intensity distributions of the object and background are main causes that may lead to failure of boundary detection for many traditional active contour methods. In this paper, we propose a region-based active contour model to address these problems in both local and global ways. A localized active contour framework is developed, in which two local boundary measures are introduced for the evolution of the level set function. These measures are used to select the boundary candidates for boundary preservation such that the evolution of the contour is guided in a reasonable way. The object boundary is determined by a global boundary measure which evaluates the boundary completeness during the entire evolution process. The experiments demonstrate that our method works well against weak boundary contrast, inhomogeneous background and overlapped intensity distributions.
