The recent deployment of very large-scale camera networks consisting of fixed/moving surveillance cameras and vehicle video recorders, has led to a novel field in object tracking problem. The major goal is to detect and track each vehicle within a large area, which can be applied to video forensics. For example, a suspected vehicle can be automatically identified for mining digital criminal evidences from a large amount of video data. In this paper, we propose an efficient cross-camera vehicle tracking technique via affine invariant object matching. More specifically, we formulate the problem as invariant image feature matching among different viewpoints of cameras. To achieve vehicle matching, we first extract invariant image feature based on ASIFT (affine and scale-invariant feature transform) for each detected vehicle in a camera network. Then, to improve the accuracy of ASIFT feature matching between images from different viewpoints, we propose to efficiently match feature points based on our observed spatially invariant property of ASIFT, as well as the min-hash technique. As a result, cross-camera vehicle tracking can be efficiently and accurately achieved. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm and the feasibility to video forensics applications.

The Ruddlesden-Popper-type layered perovskite strontium ferrite (Sr3Fe2O7) was studied as an electrocatalyst for water oxidation to molecular oxygen (O2). The electrocatalytic activity of Sr3Fe2O7 was found to be dependent on the temperature, and the overpotential for water oxidation was markedly lower at 70 oC than at 30 oC. Namely, at pH 7, O2 evolution initiated with overpotentials of approximately 100 and 300 mV at 70 and 30 oC, respectively. When lanthanum-substituted Sr3Fe2O7, Sr2.6La0.4Fe2O7, was used to catalyze O2 evolution, the distinctive temperature dependence disappeared and O2 evolution was driven with a low overpotential even at 30 oC. These results suggest that the formation of Fe4+ is important for decreasing the overpotential for water oxidation to produce O2.

In this paper, we will investigate a more challenging vehicle matching problem. The problem is formulated as invariant image feature matching among opposite viewpoints of cameras, i.e. complementary object matching. For example, a front vehicle object may be given as a query to retrieve a rear vehicle object of the same vehicle. To solve the complementary object matching, invariant image feature is first extracted based on ASIFT (affine and scale-invariant feature transform) for each detected vehicle in a camera network. Then, the ASIFT feature is expanded via a special vehicle database. As a result, cross-camera vehicle matching with the help of complementary part can be greatly improved. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and the feasibility to video forensics applications.
