Superpixels become more and more popular as image preprocessing step in computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose an improved simple linear iterative clustering (SLIC) superpixel approach based on nonstationarity measure (NSM), which is called nSLIC. An adjustive distance measure is developed in the five-dimensional [labxy] space. The nSLIC superpixel replaces the predefined fixed value of compactness parameter by the nonstationarity measure map of each image, which exploits the image information and is therefore adaptive to the color feature of the image. It also avoids the difficulty of pre-setting compactness parameter and reduces the parameters needed setting to only one indeed. The nSLIC superpixel improves not only segmentation quality bust also computational efficiency by the way of achieving faster convergence. Experiments done on BSD500 dataset show that nSLIC adheres better to image edges meanwhile producing regular and compact superpixels as much as possible, compared to various popular versions of SLIC.

Person re-identification (RE-ID) aims at associating the same pedestrian over non-overlapping surveillance scenes. A large number of approaches have emerged in recent years, and they mainly focus on designing middle or high level features to highlight the most discriminative aspects of pedestrians. Due to the nonrigid structure of pedestrians, it is difficult to reidentify pedestrians by low-level features. We investigate the results of conventional person RE-ID approaches, and find that the inadequate utilization of low-level features lead to the poor performance. In this work, we propose a novel framework to utilize the low-level visual features in a more effective way. Given a result obtained from the conventional person RE-ID method, the framework returns a more reasonable result. The framework is extended from the manifold ranking method, and several adjustments are made taking the requirements of person RE-ID into consideration. Our framework is validated through experiments on two person RE-ID datasets (VIPeR and ETHZ), and results from four different conventional approaches show significant improvement.

Visual saliency detection has gained its popularity in computer vision in recent years. Depth information is proven as a fundamental element of human vision while it is underutilized in existing saliency detection approaches. In this paper, an effective visual object saliency detection model via RGB and depth cues mutual guided manifold ranking is proposed. The depth features are extracted to guide the saliency ranking of RGB image while the RGB saliency is used as the guide of depth map ranking as well. We obtain the final result by fusing the RGB and depth saliency maps. The experimental result on a benchmark dataset which contains 1000 RGB-D images demonstrates the effectiveness and superior performance compared with several state-of-art methods.

In this paper, we present a method for discovering the common salient objects from a set of images. We treat co-saliency detection as a pairwise saliency propagation problem, which utilizes the similarity between each pair of images to measure the common property with the guidance of a single saliency map image. Given the pairwise co-salient foreground maps, pairwise saliency is optimized by combining the initial background cues. Pairwise co-salient maps are then fused according to a novel fusion strategy based on the focus of human attention. Finally we adopt an integrated multi-scale scheme to obtain the pixel-level saliency map. Our proposed model makes the existing single saliency model perform well in co-saliency detection and is not overly sensitive to the initial saliency model selected. Extensive experiments on two benchmark databases show the superiority of our co-saliency model against the state-of-the-art methods both subjectively and objectively.

The reasonable measuring of particle weight and effective sampling of particle state are consid- ered as two important aspects to obtain better estimation precision in particle filter. Aiming at the comprehensive treatment of above problems, a novel two-stage prediction and update particle filte- ring algorithm based on particle weight optimization in multi-sensor observation is proposed. Firstly, combined with the construction of muhi-senor observation likelihood function and the weight fusion principle, a new particle weight optimization strategy in multi-sensor observation is presented, and the reliability and stability of particle weight are improved by decreasing weight variance. In addi- tion, according to the prediction and update mechanism of particle filter and unscented Kalman fil- ter, a new realization of particle filter with two-stage prediction and update is given. The filter gain containing the latest observation information is used to directly optimize state estimation in the frame- work, which avoids a large calculation amount and the lack of universality in proposal distribution optimization way. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

Blind image restoration is a typically ill-posed problem, many methods tend to construct the loss function using the latent image and blur kernel priors. In this paper, we propose a MAP framework for single image motion deblurring by introducing a constrained regularization of approximate L0 and L1 sparsity respectively for latent image and motion kernel, and the optimization is conducted by fast numerical approaches. The proposed scheme is shown to be robust and effective by the experiments on both synthesized and real images. The results and comparisons to the state-of-the-art methods will be displayed.

Correcting uneven intensity distribution from a single image has long been a challenging problem with remote sensing image. In this paper, an analysis-based sparse prior is employed in the retinex variational framework for the uneven intensity correction of remote sensing images. This sparse regularization model is used to adjust uneven intensity by regularizing the sparsity of the reflectance component under framelet transform. Furthermore, the alternating minimization algorithm and split Bregman method are adopted to solve the framelet-based sparse regularization model. The experiments, with both simulated images and real-life images, show that the proposed model can effectively correct the uneven intensity distribution.
