Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance Evaluation Software: Moving Object Detection and Tracking in Videos introduces a software approach for the real-time evaluation and performance comparison of the methods specializing in moving object detection and/or tracking (D&T) in video processing. Digital video content analysis is an important item for multimedia content-based indexing (MCBI), content-based video retrieval (CBVR) and visual surveillance systems. There are some frequently-used generic algorithms for video object D&T in the literature, such as Background Subtraction (BS), Continuously Adaptive Mean-shift (CMS), Optical Flow (OF), etc. An important problem for performance evaluation is the absence of any stable and flexible software for comparison of different algorithms. In this frame, we have designed and implemented the software for comparing and evaluating the well-known video object D&T algorithms on the same platform. This software is able to compare them with the same metrics in real-time and on the same platform. It also works as an automatic and/or semi-automatic test environment in real-time, which uses the image and video processing essentials, e.g. morphological operations and filters, and ground-truth (GT) XML data files, charting/plotting capabilities, etc. Along with the comprehensive literature survey of the abovementioned video object D&T algorithms, this book also covers the technical details of our performance benchmark software as well as a case study on people D&T for the functionality of the software.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Detecting moving objects is a key component of an automatic visual surveillance and tracking system. Previous motion-based moving object detection approaches often use background subtraction and inter-frame difference or three-frame difference, which are complicated and takes long time. In this paper, we proposed a simple and fast method to detect a moving object using Cellular Neural Network. The main idea in Cellular Neural Network is that connection is allowed between adjacent units only. This paper comprises the implementation of the basic templates available in Cellular Neural Network. The templates are programmed in MATLAB. There are few rules in Cellular Neural Network that has to be implemented when programming the templates, such as the state equation, output equation, boundary condition and also the initial value. These templates are combined to create the most ideal algorithm to detect a moving object in an image. A video of a bouncing ball is recorded using a static camera. The video then are segmented into images using SC Video Developer. Ten images are selected to be used in this project. The algorithm created is used to detect the ball in the images. This paper also includes the use of Image Processing Toolbox in MATLAB. An analysis is conducted by comparing the ball's position in each image according to the time. This analysis indicates whether the object has shifted position or moved in the images. The efficiency of the result for this paper is 85%.

Download or read book Video based Motion Detection for Stationary and Moving Cameras written by Rui Wang and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In real world monitoring applications, moving object detection remains to be a challenging task due to factors such as background clutter and motion, illumination variations, weather conditions, noise, and occlusions. As a fundamental first step in many computer vision applications such as object tracking, behavior understanding, object or event recognition, and automated video surveillance, various motion detection algorithms have been developed ranging from simple approaches to more sophisticated ones. In this thesis, we present two moving object detection frameworks. The first framework is designed for robust detection of moving and static objects in videos acquired from stationary cameras. This method exploits the benefits of fusing a motion computation method based on spatio-temporal tensor formulation, a novel foreground and background modeling scheme, and a multi-cue appearance comparison. This hybrid system can handle challenges such as shadows, illumination changes, dynamic background, stopped and removed objects. Extensive testing performed on the CVPR 2014 Change Detection benchmark dataset shows that FTSG outperforms most state-of-the-art methods. The second framework adapts moving object detection to full motion videos acquired from moving airborne platforms. This framework has two main modules. The first module stabilizes the video with respect to a set of base-frames in the sequence. The stabilization is done by estimating four-point homographies using prominent feature (PF) block matching, motion filtering and RANSAC for robust matching. Once the frame to base frame homographies are available the flux tensor motion detection module using local second derivative information is applied to detect moving salient features. Spurious responses from the frame boundaries and other post- processing operations are applied to reduce the false alarms and produce accurate moving blob regions that will be useful for tracking.

Download or read book Application of Footstep Sound and Lab Colour Space in Moving Object Detection and Image Quality Measurement Using Opposite Colour Pairs written by Aditya Roshan and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This PhD dissertation is focused on two of the major tasks of an Atlantic Innovation Fund (AIF) sponsored “Triple-sensitive Camera Project”. The first task focuses on the improvement of moving object detection techniques, and second on the evaluation of camera image quality. Cameras are widely used in security, surveillance, site monitoring, traffic, military, robotics, and other applications, where detection of moving objects is critical and important. Information about image quality is essential in moving object detection. Therefore, detection of moving objects and quality evaluation of camera images are two of the critical and challenging tasks of the AIF Triple-sensitive Camera Project. In moving object detection, frame-based and background-based are two major techniques that use a video as a data source. Frame-based techniques use two or more consecutive image frames to detect moving objects, but they only detect the boundaries of moving objects. Background-based techniques use a static background that needs to be updated in order to compensate for light change in a camera scene. Many background modelling techniques involving complex models are available which make the entire procedure very sophisticated and time consuming. In addition, moving object detection techniques need to find a threshold to extract a moving object. Different thresholding methodologies generate varying threshold values which also affect the results of moving object detection. When it comes to quality evaluation of colour images, existing Full Reference methods need a perfect colour image as reference and No-Reference methods use a gray image generated from the colour image to compute image quality. However, itis very challenging to find a perfect reference colour image. When a colour image is converted to a grey image for image quality evaluation, neither colour information nor human colour perception is available for evaluation. As a result, different methods give varying quality outputs of an image and it becomes very challenging to evaluate the quality of colour images based on human vision. In this research, a single moving object detection using frame differencing technique is improved using footstep sound which is produced by the moving object present in camera scene, and background subtraction technique is improved by using opposite colour pairs of Lab colour space and implementing spatial correlation based thresholding techniques. Novel thresholding methodologies consider spatial distribution of pixels in addition to the statistical distribution used by existing methods. Out of four videos captured under different scene conditions used to measure improvements, a specified frame differencing technique shows an improvement of 52% in object detection rate when footstep sound is considered. Other frame-based techniques using Optical flow and Wavelet transform such are also improved by incorporating footstep sound. The background subtraction technique produces better outputs in terms of completeness of a moving object when opposite colour pairs are used with thresholding using spatial autocorrelation techniques. The developed technique outperformed background subtraction techniques with most commonly used thresholding methodologies. For image quality evaluation, a new “No-Reference” image quality measurement technique is developed which evaluates quantitative image quality score as it is evaluated by human eyes. The SCORPIQ technique developed in this research is independent of a reference image, image statistics, and image distortions. Colour segments of an image are spatially analysed using the colour information available in Lab colour space. Quality scores from SCORPIQ technique using LIVE image database yield distinguished results as compared to quality scores from existing methods which give similar results for visually different images. Compared to visual quality scores available with LIVE database, the quality scores from SCORPIQ technique are 3 times more distinquishable. SCORPIQ give 4 to 20 times distinguishable results compared to statistics based results which also does not follow the quality scores as evaluated by human eyes.

Download or read book Dim Object Tracking in Cluttered Image Sequences written by Kaveh Ahmadi and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research is aimed at developing efficient dim object tracking techniques in cluttered image sequences. In this dissertation, a number of new techniques are presented for image enhancement, super resolution (SR), dim object tracking, and multi-sensor object tracking. Cluttered images are impaired by noise. To deal with a mixed Gaussian and impulse noise in the image, a novel sparse coding super resolution is developed. The sparse coding has recently become a widely used tool in signal and image processing. The sparse linear combination of elements from an appropriately chosen over-complete dictionary can represent many signal patches. The proposed SR is composed of a Genetic Algorithm (GA) search step to find the optimum match from low resolution dictionary. By using GA, the proposed SR is capable of efficiently up-sampling the low resolution images while preserving the image details. Dim object tracking in a heavy clutter environment is a theoretical and technological challenge in the field of image processing. For a small dim object, conventional tracking methods fail for the lack of geometrical information. Multiple Hypotheses Testing (MHT) is one of the generally accepted methods in target tracking systems. However, processing a tree structure with a significant number of branches in MHT has been a challenging issue. Tracking high-speed objects with traditional MHT requires some presumptions which limit the capabilities of these methods. In this dissertation, a hierarchal tracking system in two levels is presented to solve this problem. For each point in the lower-level, a Multi Objective Particle Swarm Optimization (MOPSO) technique is applied to a group of consecutive frames in order to reduce the number of branches in each tracking tree. Thus, an optimum track for each moving object is obtained in a group of frames. In the upper-level, an iterative process is used to connect the matching optimum tracks of the consecutive frames based on the spatial information and fitness values. Another problem of dim object tracking is background subtraction which is difficult due to noisy environment. This dissertation presents a novel algorithm for detecting and tracking small dim targets in Infrared (IR) image sequences with low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) based on the frequency and spatial domain information. Using a Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DT-CWT), a Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detector is applied in the frequency domain to find potential positions of objects in a frame. Following this step, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classification is applied to accept or reject each potential point based on the spatial domain information of the frame. The combination of the frequency and spatial domain information demonstrates the high efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method which is supported by the experimental results. One of the important tools applied in this dissertation is Particle Filter (PF). The PF, a nonparametric implementation of the Bayes filter, is commonly used to estimate the state of a dynamic non-linear non-Gaussian system. Despite PF's successful applications, it suffers from sample impoverishment in real world applications. Most of the recent PF based techniques try to improve the functionality of the PF through evolutionary algorithms in the cases of unexpected changes in the system states. However, they have not addressed the discontinuity of observation which is unpreventable in the real world. This dissertation incorporates a recently developed social-spider optimization technique into PF to overcome the drawback of previous methods in these cases. The problem of object tracking using multi-sensor data is a theoretical and technological challenge in the field of image processing which is presented as the final algorithm in this dissertation. Most of the conventional multi-sensor methods fail to track small dim objects in a cluttered background due to the lack of geometrical target information and unexpected large discontinuities in the measurement data. In this dissertation, a multi-sensor Swarm Intelligence Particle Filter (SIPF) is proposed in an environment covered by a set of multiple calibrated sensors with overlapping field of views. The proposed hierarchical method is divided into two levels. In the lower-level, SIPF is applied to locate the targets in each sensor based on the prior information. Each sensor reports the target position and its related fitness value to a dynamically selected central sensor. In the upper-level, the central sensor finds the best of the reported position for each target and broadcasts its position to all sensors at the lower level as the actual position of the target. Experimental results show this method is able to utilize multi-sensor data to produce highly accurate tracks in noisy datasets even in the case of large jumps or discontinuous observations well beyond the conventional tracking methods..

Download or read book Exploiting Scene Context for On line Object Tracking in Unconstrained Environments written by Salma Moujtahid and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing need for automated video analysis, visual object tracking became an important task in computer vision. Object tracking is used in a wide range of applications such as surveillance, human-computer interaction, medical imaging or vehicle navigation. A tracking algorithm in unconstrained environments faces multiple challenges : potential changes in object shape and background, lighting, camera motion, and other adverse acquisition conditions. In this setting, classic methods of background subtraction are inadequate, and more discriminative methods of object detection are needed. Moreover, in generic tracking algorithms, the nature of the object is not known a priori. Thus, off-line learned appearance models for specific types of objects such as faces, or pedestrians can not be used. Further, the recent evolution of powerful machine learning techniques enabled the development of new tracking methods that learn the object appearance in an online manner and adapt to the varying constraints in real time, leading to very robust tracking algorithms that can operate in non-stationary environments to some extent. In this thesis, we start from the observation that different tracking algorithms have different strengths and weaknesses depending on the context. To overcome the varying challenges, we show that combining multiple modalities and tracking algorithms can considerably improve the overall tracking performance in unconstrained environments. More concretely, we first introduced a new tracker selection framework using a spatial and temporal coherence criterion. In this algorithm, multiple independent trackers are combined in a parallel manner, each of them using low-level features based on different complementary visual aspects like colour, texture and shape. By recurrently selecting the most suitable tracker, the overall system can switch rapidly between different tracking algorithms with specific appearance models depending on the changes in the video. In the second contribution, the scene context is introduced to the tracker selection. We designed effective visual features, extracted from the scene context to characterise the different image conditions and variations. At each point in time, a classifier is trained based on these features to predict the tracker that will perform best under the given scene conditions. We further improved this context-based framework and proposed an extended version, where the individual trackers are changed and the classifier training is optimised. Finally, we started exploring one interesting perspective that is the use of a Convolutional Neural Network to automatically learn to extract these scene features directly from the input image and predict the most suitable tracker.

This dissertation surveys different taxonomies of motion understanding problems, identifies the major components in an automated visual event recognition system, and presents the challenges and the significant studies in moving object detection, shadow elimination, and object tracking. Novel schemes for shadow detection and object tracking are proposed and implemented. The proposed shadow detection scheme does not rely on models of scene or objects, which makes it robust for a variety of outdoor surveillance applications, and also successfully eliminates problems due to illumination changes that are common in outdoor sequences. The proposed schemes for object tracking address the problem of correspondence in the presence of multiple moving objects and occlusions in the scene, and involve multi-hypothesis decision making and color appearance models"--Abstract, leaf iii.
