Video object (VO) is an important concept in MPEG-4. For objects can be easily manipulated without visible distortion, the copyright protection of video objects becomes an important issue. This paper presents a watermarking scheme for video objects. Different from other methods, the proposed scheme employed inertia ellipse to achieve fast synchronization recovery in case the object was manipulated. Shape adaptive DCT and visual mask were combined to embed the watermark into the arbitrarily shaped object, which was designed to achieve the trade-off between the invisibility and the robustness. Experiments show that our algorithm is robust to object manipulations such as rotations, translations, scaling and lossy compression. Our scheme can be easily incorporated into the object-based coding framework of MPEG-4.

We propose a text scanner which detects wide text strings in a sequence of scene images. For scene text detection, we use a multiple-CAMShift algorithm on a text probability image produced by a multi-layer perceptron. To provide enhanced resolution of the extracted text images, we perform the text detection process after generating a mosaic image in a fast and robust image registration method.

The coordinated path-planning problem for multiple unmanned air vehicles is studied with the proposal of a co-evolving and cooperating path planner. In the new planner, potential paths of each vehicle form their own subpopulation, and evolve only in their own sub-population, while the interaction among all sub-problems is reflected by the definition of fitness function. Meanwhile, the individual candidates are evaluated with respect to the workspace so that the computation of the configuration space is avoided. By using a problem-specific representation of candidate solutions and genetic operators, our algorithm can take into account different kinds of mission constraints and generate the solutions in real-time.

Two years after the first edition, a new Fingerprint Verification Competition (FVC2002) was organized by the authors, with the aim of determining the state-of-the-art in this challenging patternrecognition application. The experience and the feedback received from FVC2000 allowed the authors to improve the organization of FVC2002 and to capture the attention of a significantly higher number of academic and commercial organizations (33 algorithms were submitted). This paper discusses the FVC2002 database, the test protocol and the main differences between FVC2000 and FVC2002. The algorithm performance evaluation will be presented at the 16/sup th/ ICPR.

Methods for mobile robot localization that use eigenspaces of panoramic snapshots of the environment are in general sensitive to changes in the illumination of the environment. Therefore, we propose an approach which achieves a reliable localization under severe illumination conditions. The method uses gradient filtering of the eigenspace. After testing the approach on images obtained by a mobile robot, we show that it outperforms the standard eigenspace-based recognition method.

Four parameters, φ (electronegativity), nws1/3 (valence electron density in Wagner-Seitz cell),R (Pauling's metallic radius) and Z (number of valence electrons in atom), and the patternrecognition methods were used to investigate the regularities of formation of ternary intermetallic compounds between three transition elements. The obtained mathematical model expressed by some inequalities can be used as a criterion of ternary compound formation in "unknown" phase diagrams of alloy systems.
The patternrecognition methods and a four-parameter model, based on extended Miede-ma’s cellular model of alloy phases, are used to study the regularities of formation of ternary compounds between two transition ele...

The patternrecognition methods and a four-parameter model, based on extended Miede-ma’s cellular model of alloy phases, are used to study the regularities of formation of ternary compounds between two transition elements (T,T ’) and one non-transition element (N) (T-T ’-N system) . The criterion of formation can be expressed as some functions of φ (electronegativity), n1/3ws (valence electron density in Wagner-Seitz cell), R (Pauling’s metallic radii) and Z (number of valence electrons in atom).
In this paper we propose a novel method for the construction of invariant textural features for grey scale images. The textural features are based on an averaging over the 2D Euclidean transformation group with relati...
