Sparse Representation based Classification (SRC) and its potential in object tracking have been explored in recent years. However, the trade-off between the discriminative ability of the overly emphasized sparse representation and the lack of insight on correlation of visual information has raised questions over the general applicability of such methods in object tracking. In addition, the need for the optimization of a series of l 1 -regularized least square norm, increases the computational complexity thereby limiting their usage in real-time applications. In this paper, a novel approach to robust object tracking is proposed. First, the variations in the appearance of the tracked target is modelled using PCA basis vectors, and further, a l 2 -regularized least square method is used to solve the proposed representation model. In order to improve the robustness of feature representation in object tracking applications, weights are associated with multiple trackers; each formulated using a different feature, and adapted via an online learning scheme. Finally, a decision fusion criterion is imposed to generate an optimized output through the weighted combination of different tracking results. Experiments on challenging video sequences have demonstrated the superior accuracy and robustness of the proposed method in comparison to thirteen other state-of-the-art baselines.
It is a challenging task to develop an effective and robust visual tracking method due to factors such as pose variation, illumination change, occlusion, and motion blur. In this paper, a novel tracking algorithm base...

Central nervous system dysfunction in infants may be manifested through inconsistent, rigid and abnormal limb movements. Detection and quantification of these movements in infants from videos are hence desirable for providing useful information to clinicians. This could lead to computer-aided diagnosis of dysfunctions where early treatment may improve infant development. In this paper, we propose a scheme for detecting and quantifying qualitative aspects of limb movement through multiple tracking and state space motion modeling on videos. The main novelties of the paper include: (a) An enhanced detection method for effectively detection small weak marker points from video; (b) Bayesian estimation and nearest neighbor searching for selecting new observation in individual tracker and for tracking marker trajectories on limbs; (c) A criterion for anomaly detection based on the frequency and duration of abrupt changes in limb movement, using window averaged prominent residual powers. The proposed method has been tested on videos of neonates, results show that the proposed method is promising for tracking and quantifying the movement of neonate limbs for helping medical diagnostics.

This paper presents a novel approach for finding more accurate feature pairs which is not only invariant to affine transformation, but also deals with images with repetitive shapes. First, the more accurate and robust homographic transformation between different views could be calculated through bi-directional matching and appropriate selection of threshold. Second, an affine geometric property, ratios of areas of corresponding triangles are affine invariant, is used to obtain more feature pairs based on the first step. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-art ASIFT in the number of correct feature pairs and matching accuracy among images with repetitive patterns.

This paper addresses the problem of human activity recognition in still images. We propose a novel method that focuses on human-object interaction for feature representation of activities on Riemannian manifolds, and exploits underlying Riemannian geometry for classification. The main contributions of the paper include: (a) represent human activity by appearance features from local patches centered at hands containing interacting objects, and by structural features formed from the detected human skeleton containing the head, torso axis and hands;(b) formulate SVM kernel function based on geodesics on Riemannian manifolds under the log-Euclidean metric;(c) apply multi-class SVM classifier on the manifold under the one-against-all strategy. Experiments were conducted on a dataset containing 17196 images in 12 classes of activities from 4 subjects. Test results, evaluations, and comparisons with state-of-the-art methods provide support to the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. Copyright 2014 ACM.

This paper discusses the use of topological image analysis to derive characteristics needed in plant phenotyping. Due to certain features of root systems (deformation over time, overlaps of branches in a 2D image of the root system) a topological analysis is needed to correctly derive these characteristics. The advantages of such a topological analysis are highlighted in this paper and root phenotyping is presented as a new application for computational topology. Characteristics used in plant phenotyping that can be derived from root images using methods of topological image analysis are further presented. A Reeb graph based representation of root images is shown as an example for such a topological analysis. Based on a graph representation a new, normalised representation of root images is introduced.
