Background modeling from a stationary camera is a crucial component in video surveillance. Traditional methods usually adopt single feature type to solve the problem, while the performance is usually unsatisfactory when handling complex scenes. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale strategy, which combines both texture and color features, to achieve a robust and accurate solution. Our contributions are two folds: one is that we propose a novel texture operator named Scale-invariant Center-symmetric Local Ternary Pattern, which is robust to noise and illumination variations, the other is that a multi-scale fusion strategy is proposed for the issue. Our method is verified on several complex real world videos with illumination variation, soft shadows and dynamic backgrounds. We compare our method with four state-of-the-art methods, and the experimental results clearly demonstrate that our method achieves the highest classification accuracy in complex real world videos.
Over the past years, many efforts have been made in the estimation of the physiological age based on the human MRI brain images. In this paper, we propose a novel regression model with surface-based features to estima...

The rotation matrix estimation problem is a keypoint for mobile robot localization, navigation, and control. Based on the quaternion theory and the epipolar geometry, an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm is proposed to estimate the rotation matrix by using a single-axis gyroscope and the image points correspondence from a monocular camera. The experimental results show that the precision of mobile robot s yaw angle estimated by the proposed EKF algorithm is much better than the results given by the image-only and gyroscope-only method, which demonstrates that our method is a preferable way to estimate the rotation for the autonomous mobile robot applications.

The relative pose between inertial and visual sensors equipped in autonomous robots is calibrated in two steps. In the first step, the sensing system is moved along a line, the orientations in the relative pose are computed from at least five corresponding points in the two images captured before and after the movement. In the second step, the translation parameters in the relative pose are obtained with at least two corresponding points in the two images captured before and after one step motion. Experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
