This book was released on 2013 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Automatic image registration is still present challenge in several fields like computer vision and remote sensing applications. Image registration is the process of transforming different sets of data into one coordinate system. In this paper, we propose a method for Automatic accurate Image Registration through Histogram-Based Image Segmentation and translation (delineation) using Wiener filtering which allows for a more detailed histogram-based segmentation, rather than the traditional methods, and consequently to an accurate image registration. Proposed system is able to estimate the rotation and/or translation between two images- which may be multitemporal or multisensor-with small differences in the spectral content. The first dataset consists in a photograph and a rotated and shifted version of the same photograph, with different levels of added noise. This allows for the registration of pairs of images with differences in rotation and translation. Various applications of image registration are target recognition, monitoring global land usage using satellite images, matching stereo images to recover shape for navigation, and aligning images from different medical modalities

Download or read book Image Registration Using Redundant Wavelet Transforms written by and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagery is collected much faster and in significantly greater quantities today compared to a few years ago. Accurate registration of this imagery is vital for comparing the similarities and differences between multiple images. Since human analysis is tedious and error prone for large data sets, we require an automatic, efficient, robust, and accurate method to register images. Wavelet transforms have proven useful for a variety of signal and image processing tasks, including image registration. In our research, we present a fundamentally new wavelet-based registration algorithm utilizing redundant transforms and a masking process to suppress the adverse effects of noise and improve processing efficiency. The shift-invariant wavelet transform is applied in translation estimation and a new rotation-invariant polar wavelet transform is effectively utilized in rotation estimation. We demonstrate the robustness of these redundant wavelet transforms for the registration of two images (i.e., translating or rotating an input image to a reference image), but extensions to larger data sets are certainly feasible. We compare the registration accuracy of our redundant wavelet transforms to the 'critically sampled' discrete wavelet transform using the Daubechies (7,9) wavelet to illustrate the power of our algorithm in the presence of significant additive white Gaussian noise and strongly translated or rotated images.

Download or read book A Non feature Based Method for Automatic Image Registration Relying on Depth dependent Planar Projective Transformations written by Carlota Salinas Maldonado and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multisensory data fusion oriented to image-based application improves the accuracy, quality and availability of the data, and consequently, the performance of robotic systems, by means of combining the information of a scene acquired from multiple and different sources into a unified representation of the 3D world scene, which is more enlightening and enriching for the subsequent image processing, improving either the reliability by using the redundant information, or the capability by taking advantage of complementary information. Image registration is one of the most relevant steps in image fusion techniques. This procedure aims the geometrical alignment of two or more images. Normally, this process relies on feature-matching techniques, which is a drawback for combining sensors that are not able to deliver common features. For instance, in the combination of ToF and RGB cameras, the robust feature-matching is not reliable. Typically, the fusion of these two sensors has been addressed from the computation of the cameras calibration parameters for coordinate transformation between them. As a result, a low resolution colour depth map is provided. For improving the resolution of these maps and reducing the loss of colour information, extrapolation techniques are adopted. A crucial issue for computing high quality and accurate dense maps is the presence of noise in the depth measurement from the ToF camera, which is normally reduced by means of sensor calibration and filtering techniques. However, the filtering methods, implemented for the data extrapolation and denoising, usually over-smooth the data, reducing consequently the accuracy of the registration procedure...

Download or read book Human Recognition at a Distance in Video written by Bir Bhanu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-05 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most biometric systems employed for human recognition require physical contact with, or close proximity to, a cooperative subject. Far more challenging is the ability to reliably recognize individuals at a distance, when viewed from an arbitrary angle under real-world environmental conditions. Gait and face data are the two biometrics that can be most easily captured from a distance using a video camera. This comprehensive and logically organized text/reference addresses the fundamental problems associated with gait and face-based human recognition, from color and infrared video data that are acquired from a distance. It examines both model-free and model-based approaches to gait-based human recognition, including newly developed techniques where the both the model and the data (obtained from multiple cameras) are in 3D. In addition, the work considers new video-based techniques for face profile recognition, and for the super-resolution of facial imagery obtained at different angles. Finally, the book investigates integrated systems that detect and fuse both gait and face biometrics from video data. Topics and features: discusses a framework for human gait analysis based on Gait Energy Image, a spatio-temporal gait representation; evaluates the discriminating power of model-based gait features using Bayesian statistical analysis; examines methods for human recognition using 3D gait biometrics, and for moving-human detection using both color and thermal image sequences; describes approaches for the integration face profile and gait biometrics, and for super-resolution of frontal and side-view face images; introduces an objective non-reference quality evaluation algorithm for super-resolved images; presents performance comparisons between different biometrics and different fusion methods for integrating gait and super-resolved face from video. This unique and authoritative text is an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students of computer vision, pattern recognition and biometrics. The book will also be of great interest to professional engineers of biometric systems.
