Sparse Representation based Classification (SRC) and its potential in object tracking have been explored in recent years. However, the trade-off between the discriminative ability of the overly emphasized sparse representation and the lack of insight on correlation of visual information has raised questions over the general applicability of such methods in object tracking. In addition, the need for the optimization of a series of l 1 -regularized least square norm, increases the computational complexity thereby limiting their usage in real-time applications. In this paper, a novel approach to robust object tracking is proposed. First, the variations in the appearance of the tracked target is modelled using PCA basis vectors, and further, a l 2 -regularized least square method is used to solve the proposed representation model. In order to improve the robustness of feature representation in object tracking applications, weights are associated with multiple trackers; each formulated using a different feature, and adapted via an online learning scheme. Finally, a decision fusion criterion is imposed to generate an optimized output through the weighted combination of different tracking results. Experiments on challenging video sequences have demonstrated the superior accuracy and robustness of the proposed method in comparison to thirteen other state-of-the-art baselines.
Adaptive tracking-by-detection methods are widely used in computer vision for tracking objects. Despite these methods achieve promising results, deformable targets and partial occlusions continue to represent key prob...

Central nervous system dysfunction in infants may be manifested through inconsistent, rigid and abnormal limb movements. Detection and quantification of these movements in infants from videos are hence desirable for providing useful information to clinicians. This could lead to computer-aided diagnosis of dysfunctions where early treatment may improve infant development. In this paper, we propose a scheme for detecting and quantifying qualitative aspects of limb movement through multiple tracking and state space motion modeling on videos. The main novelties of the paper include: (a) An enhanced detection method for effectively detection small weak marker points from video; (b) Bayesian estimation and nearest neighbor searching for selecting new observation in individual tracker and for tracking marker trajectories on limbs; (c) A criterion for anomaly detection based on the frequency and duration of abrupt changes in limb movement, using window averaged prominent residual powers. The proposed method has been tested on videos of neonates, results show that the proposed method is promising for tracking and quantifying the movement of neonate limbs for helping medical diagnostics.

We present a novel fast method based on computer vision toidentify microbe. The proposed method is simple but absolutely effective. It combines approximate parallel light source and industrial camera, toautomatically accomplish the bacteria identification and monitor the growing states of bacteria during the progress of a drug sensitive test. Based on this method, the color information and turbidity information, which reflect the primary information of drug sensitive tests, can be obtained fast, while processing efficiency can be as high as hundreds of milliseconds per frame. The performance of our method is significantly accurate and robust.

We propose a novel method for joint probabilistic constrained robust beamforming and antenna selection used in cognitive radio (CR) networks. Assuming complex Gaussian distributed channel state information (CSI) errors, the Bernstein-type inequalities are used to transform the no closed-form probabilistic constrained into the deterministic forms. Moreover, l1-norm is introduced as the closest convex approximation of ℓ0-norm. So, the original NP-hard optimal problem can be relaxed to as a tractable convex optimization problem. A computationally efficient and near-optimal solution is obtained by a iteratively re-weighted algorithm. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm meet prescribed service levels at a relatively small excess transmission power in a number of transmitter reduction scenarios.

In this paper, a novel approach for image visual saliency detection is proposed from both the salient object (foreground) and the background perspective. To better highlight the salient object, we start from what is a salient object and adopt priors including contrast prior and center prior to measure the dissimilarity between different image elements. To better suppress the background, we focus on what is the background and measure the pixel-wise saliency by the minimum seam cost where the seam is an optimal 8-connected path from the pixel to some boundary pixel. The final saliency map is obtained by the combination of two measure systems which leads to the goal of both highlighting the salient object and suppressing the background. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments conducted on a benchmark dataset show that our approach outperforms seven state-of-the-art methods.
