The human visual system as a functional unit including the eyes, the nervous system, and the corresponding parts of the brain certainly ranks among the most important means of human information processing. The e?ciency of the biological systems is beyond the capabilities of today’s technical systems, even with the fastest available computer systems. However, there are areas of application where digital image analysis systems produce acceptable results. Systems in these areas solve very specialized tasks, they operate in a limited environment, and high speed is often not necessary. Several factors determine the economical application of technical vision systems: cost, speed, ?exibility, robu- ness, functionality, and integration with other system components. Many of the recent developments in digital imageprocessing and patternrecognition show some of the required achievements. Computer vision enhances the capabilities of computer systems • in autonomously collecting large amounts of data, • in extracting relevant information, • in perceiving its environment, and • in automatic or semiautomatic operation in this environment. The development of computer systems in general shows a steadily increasing need in computational power, which comes with decreasing hardware costs.
A hierarchical structure is a stack of successively reduced image representations. Each basic element of a hierarchical structure is the father of a set of elements in the level below. The transitive closure of this f...

Thousands of fragments of ceramics (called sherds for short) are found at archaeological excavation sites. One of these excavations sites is Tel Dor in Israel. The excavators in Dor use hand drawings and a profilograph for documentation of sherds. Both techniques acquire a cross-section of the sherd, the so called profile line, which is used for classification and statistical analysis about the ancient population of Dor. As proposed in previous work we are developing a fully automated system for documentation of sherds by 3D-acquisition based on structured light and extraction of the profile line. Consequently we joined the field trip to Tel Dor in July, 2004 to compare in-situ the accuracy and performance of the traditional hand drawings, the profilograph and our system. We therefore alos measured the time for each step of documentation in-situ to find bottle-necks in documented sherds per hour. Based on these results we could propose an improvement to increase the throughput of our system by a factor of 5. The results of the comparison of all three techniques of documentation of sherds, the improvement for our system and a methodological experiment for future work are shown in this report.
Topology plays an important role in computer vision by capturing the structure of the objects. Nevertheless, its potential applications have not been sufficiently developed yet. In this paper, we combine the topologic...

This paper presents an application of 3D-reconstruction and graph theory in the field of archaeology. The classification and reconstruction of ancient pots and vessels out of fragments (so-called sherds) is an important aspect of archaeological research work. Up to now this is a time consuming, inaccurate, and subjective task which leads to tons of unclassified fragments in archives. Computer aided classification could help to get a better understanding of ancient cultures, since all data of an excavation would be accessible to the public, not only- selected parts as it is now. We propose a bottom-up strategy to classify fragments. The profile section (which is a section a the fragment in the direction of the rotational axis) is segmented into its primitives (with certain properties like length) and relations among this primitives (like position and curvature of connecting points). These primitives and the relations form a description language, different profiles have different descriptions.

We propose a straightforward skin detection method for online videos. To overcome varying illumination circumstances and a variety of skin colors, we introduce a multiple model approach which can be carried out independently per model. The color models are initiated by skin detection based on face detection and adapted in real time. Our approach outperforms static approaches both in precision and runtime. If we detect a face in a scene, the number of false positives can be diminished significantly. Evaluation is carried out on publicly available on-line videos showing that adaptive multiple model outperforms static methods in classification precision and suppression of false positives.
