In this paper, we present a new algorithm for camera calibration using concentric circles, which is a linear approach. Different from previous methods, we take the projective equations of three-dimensional circles, which include the intrinsic parameter matrix of the camera, as the basis of our calibration approach. According to the special structure of the projective equations in algebra, we can get a linear equation system about the intrinsic parameters. After enough equations constructed, the calibration can be easily finished. Our method needs three images of the two concentric circles at least, and all the five intrinsic parameters can be recovered. Experiments using computer simulated data demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of our method.

Accurate traffic parameters such as traffic flow, travel speeds and occupancies, are crucial to effective management of intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Some traffic data from loop detectors settled in arterial streets are incomplete, and the importance of effectively imputing the missing values emerges. In this paper, a technique called least squares support vector machines (LS-SVMs) is introduced to predict missing traffic flow based on spatio-temporal analysis in urban arterial streets. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time to apply the rising computational intelligence (CI) technique incorporating with state space approach in missing traffic data imputation. Having good generalization ability and guaranteeing global minima ensure its well performance in the area. A baseline imputation technique, expectation maximization/data augmentation (EM/DA), is selected for comparison because of its proved effectiveness in missing data recovery. Through persuasive comparisons of the techniques, the proposed model is proved to be more applicable and performs better in stability and adaptability, which reveals that it is a promising approach in missing data prediction.

We consider the problem of 3D modeling under the environments where colors of the foreground objects are similar to the background, which poses a difficult problem of foreground and background classification. A purely image-based algorithm is adopted in this paper, with no prior information about the foreground objects. We classify foreground and background by fusing the information at the pixel and region levels to obtain the similarity probability map, followed by a Bayesian sensor fusion framework to infer the space occupancy grid. The estimation of the occupancy allows incremental updating once a new observation is available, and the contribution of each observation can be adjusted according to its reliability. Finally, three parameters in the algorithm are analyzed in detail and experiments show the effectiveness of this method.

A method for 3D shape reconstruction of deformable surfaces from consecutive frames was presented. In our method, the model of the surface is represented by a triangulated mesh. The constraints for the model, including keypoint correspondences and disallowing large changes of edge orientation between consecutive frames, are formulated as Linear Programming (LP) constraints. Therefore the deformable surface 3D tracking method turns into an LP problem that can be effectively solved. The robustness and efficiency of our approach are validated on synthetic and real data.

In this paper, we propose to kernelize linear learning machines, e.g., PCA and LDA, in the empirical kernel feature space, a finite-dimensional embedding space, in which the distances of the data in the kernel feature space are preserved. The empirical kernel feature space provides a unified framework for the kernelization of all kinds of linear machines: performing a linear machine in the finite-dimensional empirical feature space, its nonlinear kernel machine is then established in the original input data space. This method is different from the conventional kernel-trick based kernelization, and more importantly, the final nonlinear kernel machines, called empirical kernel machines, are shown to be more efficient in many real-world applications, such as face recognition and facial expression recognition, than the kernel-trick based kernel machines.
