Moving object segmentation is an important step toward development of any computer vision systems. In the present work, we have proposed a new method for segmentation of moving objects, which is based on single change detection method applied on Contourlet coefficients of two consecutive frames. We have chosen contourlet transform as it has high directionality and represents salient features of image such as edges, curves and contours in better way as compared with wavelet transform. The proposed method is simple and does not require any other parameter except contourlet coefficients. Results after applying the proposed method for segmentation of moving objects are compared with other state-of-the-art methods in terms of visual as well as quantitative performance measures viz. Average difference, Normalized absolute error and Pixel classification based measure. The proposed method is found to be better than other methods.
In this paper, we propose a simple but effective method for the design of M-channel uniform linearphase (LP) filter banks. We are mainly concerned with the significant aliasing caused by the two adjacent filters, lead...

The objective of image fusion is to combine relevant information from two or more images of the same scene into a single composite image which is more informative and is more suitable for human and machine perception. In recent past, different methods of image fusion have been proposed in literature both in spatial domain and wavelet domain. Spatial domain based methods produce spatial distortions in the fused image. Spatial domain distortion can be well handled by the use of wavelet transform based image fusion methods. In this paper, we propose a pixel-level image fusion scheme using multiresolution Biorthogonal wavelet transform (BWT). Wavelet coefficients at different decomposion levels are fused using absolute maximum fusion rule. Two important properties wavelet symmetry and linear phase of BWT have been exploited for image fusion because they are capable to preserve edge information and hence reducing the distortions in the fused image. The performance of the proposed method have been extensively tested on several pairs of multifocus and multimodal images both free from any noise and in presence of additive white Gaussian noise and compared visually and quantitatively against existing spatial domain methods. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves fusion quality by reducing loss of significant information available in individual images. Fusion factor, entropy and standard deviation are used as quantitative quality measures of the fused image.

The cross-correlation performance between epilepsy electroencephalogram (EEG) signals reflects the status of epilepsy patients which has importance for analyzing long-range correlation of non-stationary signals. For the first time, detrended cross-correlation analysis (DCCA) was applied to analyze the α wave of different physiological and pathological states of epilepsy EEG signals. It were compared the difference of DCCA values between epilepsy patients' EEG signals and normal subjects' EEG signals. It was found that the DCCA values of epilepsy patients' EEG signals increased compared the normal subjects' EEG signals which can be helpful for medical diagnosis and treatment.

Estimating high-resolution (HR) video from a sequence of low-resolution (LR) compressed observations is the focus of this paper. Based on the theory of regularization, this paper proposes a new form of regularized cost function to control the within-channel balance between received data and prior information, and a channel weight coefficient to control the cross-channel fidelity. The LR frames are adaptively weighted according to their reliability and the regularization parameter is simultaneously estimated for each channel with ameliorating artifacts in compressed video. An iterative gradient descent algorithm is utilized to reconstruction the HR video. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has an improvement in terms of both objective and subjective quality

The quality of sleep has a great relationship with health. The result of sleep stage classification is an important indicator to measure the quality of sleep. It was found that the symbolic transfer entropy about the α wave of the wake and the first stage of non-rapid eye movement sleep reflect on the changes of sleep stage. And it was confirmed by T test and multisamples experiments. The symbolic transfer entropy can apply into automatic sleep stage classification. By Multi-parameter analysis it could achieve a higher accuracy of sleep stage classification.

Abnormality Detection (AD), being the core part of intelligent surveillance systems, is calling for growing research interest due to its importance in providing higher efficiency and labor saving. In this paper, we propose a novel Bayesian Network (BN) based AD method for smart surveillance in scenes containing large scale viewpoint changes without model-relearning. In the proposed AD scheme, Reasoning Layer is introduced into BN to strengthen logical inferences, and a localized Genetic Algorithm (GA) is developed to optimize BN parameters and structure. With the expert knowledge aided BN structure modeling and GA based optimization, the proposed method can provide more robust detection experience with retained accuracy. Experiments on unlearned surveillance test sequences are shown to exhibit the validity of this method.

Owing to the thriving market of stereoscopic image based applications, efficient and effective 3D image quality assessment (IQA) techniques become colossally required these days. Consequently, we introduce a new reduced-reference (RR) stereoscopic image quality metric to meet this demand, through measuring Structural degradation and Saliency based Parallax compensation Model (SSPM). Experimental results on the LIVE 3D image Quality Database, including both symmetrically and asymmetrically distorted stereoscopic images in different categories and quality levels, are provided to justify the effectiveness of the proposed SSPM model as compared to some existing progressive and popular stereoscopic IQA approaches. Meanwhile, it deserves broad attentions that only four number pairs, extracted from original image, are required as the key feature to be sent to the receiver terminal, thus making this procedure also efficient.
