This paper proposes a fast and robust algorithm for classification and recognition of ships based on the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The three-dimensional ship models are achieved by modeling software of MultiGen, and then they are projected by Vega simulating software for two-dimensional ship silhouettes. The PCA method as against the Back-Propagation (BP) neural network method for simulated ship recognition using training and testing experiments, we can see that there is a sharp contrast between them. Some recognition results from simulated data are presented, the correct recognition rate of PCA method improved rapidly for each of the five ship types than that of neural network method, the number of times a ship type is recognized as one of the other ships is reduced greatly.

A method used for recognition and understanding of airfield based on mathematical morphology is proposed in this paper. The new approach can he divided into three steps. First, to extract the typical geometric structure features of airfield, a segmentation method called recursive Otsu algorithm is employed on an airfield image. Second, thinning and shrinking algorithms are utilized to obtain the contour of airfield with single pixel and to remove diffused small particles. Finally, Radon transform is adopted to extract two typical and important components, primary and secondary runways of airfield exactly. At the same time, region growing algorithm is exploited to get the other components such as parking apron and garages. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method gives good performance.

This paper proposes a method for robustly matching active appearance models (AAMs) on images with gross disturbances (outliers). The method consists of two steps. First, an initial residual is calculated by comparing model and image appearance, and modes of the residual are analyzed. Second, all possible mode combinations are tested by evaluating an objective function. The objective function allows the selection of an outlier-free mode combination. Experiments demonstrate the ability of the robust matching method to successfully cope with outliers - compared to standard AAM matching, no degeneration of the model during matching occurs.

Faint sources detection is one of the major issues during the reconstruction of an astronomical science image from a raw data sequence. This problem is a consequence of the detection limit of the infrared instruments as well as the number of cosmic ray impacts (glitches) that leads to the false detection. Astronomical images contain many objects with isotropic structures (e.g. point sources) but also plenty of anisotropic information (e.g. filamentary structures). The wavelet transform is usually applied to separate all these signal constituents in each pixel, then a map is built to represent the information of the associated noise before applying a source detection algorithm. Wavelets are well adapted to point singularities (discontinuities), however, they have a problem with orientation selectivity. Therefore, they do not represent anisotropic structures (e.g. smooth curves) effectively. This paper presents a combined approach conlourlet-wavelet for faint source extraction from infrared raw- images sequences. While the contourlet representation provides oriented support for efficient approximation of anisotropic structures, isotropic geometry is effectively captured by separable wavelets. This novel approach has been tested on real and simulated infrared images, stemming from the infrared space observatory database

Based on statistical learning theory, support vector machine (SVM) is a novel type of learning machine, and it contains polynomial, neural network and radial basis function (RBF) as special cases. The mapped least squares support vector machine (MLS-SVM) is a special least square SVM (LS-SVM), which extends the application of the SVM to the imageprocessing. Based on the MLS-SVM, a family of filters for the approximation of partial derivatives of the digital image surface is designed. Prior information (e.g., local dominant orientation) are incorporated in a two dimension weighted function. The weighted MLS-SVM with the radial basis function kernel is applied to design the proposed filters. Exemplary application of the proposed filters to fingerprint image segmentation is also presented.

Vessel segmentation is the base of 3d reconstruction of Digital Subtraction Angiograph (DSA) images. This paper proposes a framework of adaptive local thresholding based on a verification-based approach for vessel segmentation of DSA images. The original DSA image is firstly divided into overlapping subimages according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels. We implement a hypothesis test to determine whether each subimage contains vessels and then choose an optimal threshold respectively for every subimage previously determined to contain vessels, with a secondary verification process to exclude the condition that the subregion only containing the background but misclassified as one containing vessels by the hypothesis test. Finally an overall binarization of the original image is achieved by combining the thresholded subimages. Experiments demonstrate superior performance over global thresholding and some adaptive local thresholding methods.
Many vision-related processing tasks, including edge detection and image segmentation, can be performed more easily when all objects in the scene are in good focus. However, in practice, this may not be always feasibl...

In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a powerful technique for the visualization of blood vessels in the human body. Blood vessel segmentation is a main problem for 3D vascular reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive thresholding method for the segmentation of DSA images. Each pixel of the DSA images is declared to be a vessel/background point with regard to a threshold and a few local characteristic limits depending on some information contained in the pixel neighborhood window. The size of the neighborhood window is set according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels to make sure that each window contains the background definitely. Some experiments on cerebral DSA images are given, which show that our proposed method yields better results than global thresholding methods and some other local thresholding methods do.

Recent interest has been shown in performance evaluation of visual surveillance systems. The main purpose of performance evaluation on computer vision systems is the statistical testing and tuning in order to improve algorithm's reliability and robustness. In this paper we investigate the use of empirical discrepancy metrics for quantitative analysis of motion segmentation algorithms. We are concerned with the case of visual surveillance on an airport's apron, that is the area where aircrafts are parked and serviced by specialized ground support vehicles. Robust detection of individuals and vehicles is of major concern for the purpose of tracking objects and understanding the scene. In this paper, different discrepancy metrics for motion segmentation evaluation are illustrated and used to assess the performance of three motion segmentors on video sequences of an airport's apron.

This paper presents the evaluation of an object tracking system that has been developed in the context of aircraft activity monitoring. The overall tracking system comprises three main modules - motion detection, object tracking and data fusion. In this paper we primarily focus on performance evaluation of the object tracking module, with emphasis given to the general 2D tracking performance and the 3D object localisation.
