Due to the recent increase of the importance and demand of security services, the importance of a surveillance monitor system that makes an automatic security system possible is increasing. As the market for surveillance monitor systems is growing, price competitiveness is becoming important. As a result of this trend, surveillance monitor systems based on an embedded system are widely used. In this paper, an object detection algorithm based on an embedded system for a surveillance monitor system is introduced. To apply the object detection algorithm to the embedded system, the most important issue is the efficient use of resources, such as memory and processors. Therefore, designing an appropriate algorithm considering the limit of resources is required. The proposed algorithm uses two background models; therefore, the embedded system is designed to have two independent processors. One processor checks the sub-background models for if there are any changes with high update frequency, and another processor makes the main background model, which is used for object detection. In this way, a background model will be made with images that have no objects to detect and improve the object detection performance. The object detection algorithm utilizes one-dimensional histogram distribution, which makes the detection faster. The proposed object detection algorithm works fast and accurately even in a low-priced embedded system.

Edges are a robust feature for object detection. In this paper, we present an edge-based background modeling method for the detection of moving objects. The edges in the image frames were mapped using robust Canny edge detector. Two edge maps were created and combined to calculate the ultimate moving-edge map. By selecting all the edge pixels of the current frame above the defined threshold of the ultimate moving edges, a temporary background-edge map was created. If the frequencies of the temporary background edge pixels for several frames were above the threshold, then those edge pixels were treated as background edge pixels. We conducted a performance comparison with previous works. The existing edge-based moving-object detection algorithms pose some difficulty due to the changes in background motion, object shape, illumination variation, and noises. The result of the performance evaluation shows that the proposed algorithm can detect moving objects efficiently in real-world scenarios.

The diffusion-based salient object detection methods have shown excellent detection results and more efficient computation in recent years. However, the current diffusion-based salient object detection methods still have disadvantage of detecting the object appearing at the image boundaries and different scales. To address the above mentioned issues, this paper proposes a multi-scale diffusion-based salient object detection algorithm with background and objectness seeds. In specific, the image is firstly over-segmented at several scales. Secondly, the background and objectness saliency of each superpixel is then calculated and fused in each scale. Thirdly, manifold ranking method is chosen to propagate the Bayessian fusion of background and objectness saliency to the whole image. Finally, the pixel-level saliency map is constructed by weighted summation of saliency values under different scales. We evaluate our salient object detection algorithm with other 24 state-of-the-art methods on four public benchmark datasets, i.e., ASD, SED1, SED2 and SOD. The results show that the proposed method performs favorably against 24 state-of-the-art salient object detection approaches in term of popular measures of PR curve and F-measure. And the visual comparison results also show that our method highlights the salient objects more effectively.

This paper proposes an object detection method based on motion estimation using background subtraction in the fisheye images obtained through omni-directional camera mounted on the vehicle. Recently, most of the vehicles installed with rear camera as a standard option, as well as various camera systems for safety. However, differently from the conventional object detection using the image obtained from the camera, the embedded system installed in the vehicle is difficult to apply a complicated algorithm because of its inherent low processing performance. In general, the embedded system needs system-dependent algorithm because it has lower processing performance than the computer. In this paper, the location of object is estimated from the information of object's motion obtained by applying a background subtraction method which compares the previous frames with the current ones. The real-time detection performance of the proposed method for object detection is verified experimentally on embedded board by comparing the proposed algorithm with the object detection based on LKOF (Lucas-Kanade optical flow).

객체 추적 알고리즘들은 객체 인식 결과를 이용한 관심영역 설정을 통해 영상 전체에 대한 연산이 수행되는 것을 방지하여 연산량을 줄일 수 있다. 따라서 객체 인식 알고리즘의 정확한 객체 검출은 객체 추적에서 매우 중요한 과정이다. 고정된 카메라를 기반으로 하여 이동하는 객체를 검출 하는 방법으로 배경 차 알고리즘이 널리 사용되어왔고 많은 연구에 의해 배경 모델링 방법이 개선되면서 배경 차 알고리즘의 성능이 개선되었으나 여전히 정확하지 못한 배경 모델링에 의한 객체 오검출의 문제를 가진다. 이에 본 논문에서는 제스쳐 인식에 주로 사용되는 모션 히스토리 이미지 알고리즘을 배경 차 알고리즘과 융합하여 기존의 배경 차 알고리즘이 가지는 문제점을 극복할 수 있는 다중 이동객체 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 융합 과정 추가로 수행시간이 다소 길어지나 실시간성을 만족하며 기존의 배경 차 알고리즘에 비해 높은 정확도를 가짐을 실험을 통해 확인하였다.

In this paper, a object detection and tracking algorithm is presented which exhibits robust properties for image sequences with complex background. The proposed algorithm is composed of three parts: moving object detection, object tracking, and motion analysis. The moving object detection algorithm is implemented using a temporal median background method which is suitable for real-time applications. In the motion analysis, we propose a new technique for removing a temporal clutter, such as a swaying plant or a light reflection of a background object. In addition, we design a multiple vehicle tracking system based on Kalman filtering. Computer simulation of the proposed scheme shows its robustness for MPEG-7 test image sequences.

Object detection methods based on background learning are widely used in video surveillance. However, when a car runs with headlights on, these methods are likely to detect the car region and the area illuminated by the headlights as one connected change region. This paper describes a method of separating the car region from the area illuminated by the headlights. First, we detect change regions with a background learning method, and extract blobs, connected components in the detected change region. If a blob is larger than the maximum object size, we extract candidate object regions from the blob by clustering the intensity histogram of the frame difference between the mean of background images and an input image. Finally, we compute the similarity between the mean of background images and the input image within each candidate region and select a candidate region with weak similarity as an object region.

In this paper, we propose a method to solve ghosting problem. To generate adaptive background, using an exponentially decreasing number of frames, may improve object detection performance. To extract moving objects from the background by using a differential image, detection error may be caused by object rotations or environmental changes. A ghosting problem can be issue-driven when there are outdoor environmental changes and moving objects. We studied that a differential image by adaptive background may reduce the ghosting problem. In experimental results, we test that our method can solve the ghosting problem.

본 논문은 객체와 배경 히스토그램을 활용한 개선된 보행자 검출 방식을 제안하고 있다. HOG & SVM 알고리즘을 통해 검출한 객체는 사각형 형태로 검출된다. 사각형 영역 안에는 배경과 객체의 영역이 혼합되어있다. 배경을 제외한 객체의 영역만을 검출한다면 객체 관련 다양한 정보를 쉽게 얻을 수 있다. 검출된 사각형의 크기를 객체의 크기에 맞게 x-y축 투영 알고리즘을 사용하여 재조정한다. 그리고 나서 재조정 된 사각형 내의 객체에 대한 히스토그램을 바탕으로 배경과 객체를 구분하여 개선된 객체를 검출한다. 검출한 객체와 원본의 객체를 비교하는 신뢰성 평가인 정밀도와 재현율의 평균값이 각각 97.9%와 90%를 보이고 있다.

In general, background subtraction based methods are used to detect the moving objects in visual tracking applications. In this paper we employed background subtraction based scheme to detect the temporarily stationary objects. We proposed two schemes for stationary object detection and we compare those in terms of detection performance and computational complexity. In the first approach we used single background and in the second approach we used dual backgrounds, generated with different learning rates, in order to detect temporarily stopped object. Finally, we used normalized cross correlation (NCC) based image comparison to monitor and track the detected stationary object in a video scene. The proposed method is robust with partial occlusion, short time fully occlusion and illumination changes, as well as it can operate in real time.
