This work deals with automatic motion detection for with surveillance tracking that aims to provide high-lighting movable objects which is discriminated from moving backgrounds such as moving trees, etc. For this aim, we perform a false background region detection together with an initial foreground detection. The false background detection detects the moving backgrounds, which become eliminated from the initial foreground detection. This false background detection is done by performing the bimodal segmentation on a deformed image, which is constructed using the information of the dominant colors in the background.

배경 모델과 배경 차분화로 구성되어 있는 전경객체 추출은 다양한 컴퓨터 비젼 응용에서 중요한 기능이다. 조명 변화를 고려하지 않은 기존 방법들은 급격한 조명 변화에서는 성능이 저하된다. 본 레터에서는 이 문제를 해결할 수 있는 조명 변화에 강인한 배경 모델링 방법을 제안한다. 제안 방법은 다른 적응률을 가진 두 개의 배경 모델을 사용함으로써 조명 조건에 신속하게 적응할 수 있다. 본 논문의 제안 방법은 non-parametric 기법으로서 실험에서는 기존 non-parametric 기법들보다 우수한 성능 및 낮은 복잡도를 보여줌을 증명하였다.

In this paper, we propose a novel saliency detection framework via multiple random walks (MRW) which simulate multiple agents on a graph simultaneously. In the MRW system, two agents, which represent the seeds of background and foreground, traverse the graph according to a transition matrix, and interact with each other to achieve a state of equilibrium. The proposed algorithm is divided into three steps. First, an initial segmentation is performed to partition an input image into homogeneous regions (i.e., superpixels) for saliency computation. Based on the regions of image, we construct a graph that the nodes correspond to the superpixels in the image, and the edges between neighboring nodes represent the similarities of the corresponding superpixels. Second, to generate the seeds of background, we first filter out one of the four boundaries that most unlikely belong to the background. The superpixels on each of the three remaining sides of the image will be labeled as the seeds of background. To generate the seeds of foreground, we utilize the center prior that foreground objects tend to appear near the image center. In last step, the seeds of foreground and background are treated as two different agents in multiple random walkers to complete the process of salient object detection. Experimental results on three benchmark databases demonstrate the proposed method performs well when it against the state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and robustness.

In computer vision, salient object is important to extract the useful information of foreground. With active contour analysis acting as the core in this paper, we propose a bottom-up saliency detection algorithm combining with the Bayesian model and the global color distribution. Under the supports of active contour model, a more accurate foreground can be obtained as a foundation for the Bayesian model and the global color distribution. Furthermore, we establish a contour-based selection mechanism to optimize the global-color distribution, which is an effective revising approach for the Bayesian model as well. To obtain an excellent object contour, we firstly intensify the object region in the source gray-scale image by a seed-based method. The final saliency map can be detected after weighting the color distribution to the Bayesian saliency map, after both of the two components are available. The contribution of this paper is that, comparing the Harris-based convex hull algorithm, the active contour can extract a more accurate and non-convex foreground. Moreover, the global color distribution can solve the saliency-scattered drawback of Bayesian model, by the mutual complementation. According to the detected results, the final saliency maps generated with considering the global color distribution and active contour are much-improved.

In video-based recognition systems, stationary cameras are used to monitor an area of interest. These systems focus on a segmentation of the foreground in the video stream and the recognition of the events occurring in that area. The usual approach to discriminating the foreground from the video sequence is background subtraction. This paper presents a novel background subtraction method based on a probabilistic approach. We represent the posterior probability of the foreground based on the current image and all past images and derive an updated method. Furthermore, we present an efficient fusion method for the color and edge information in order to overcome the difficulties of existing background subtraction methods that use only color information. The suggested method is applied to synthetic data and real video streams, and its robust performance is demonstrated through experimentation.

In this paper, we propose a new real-time human detection under omni-directional cameras for visual surveillance purpose, based on CNN with unified detection and AGMM. Compared to CNN-based state-of-the-art object detection methods. YOLO model-based object detection method boasts of very fast object detection, but with less accuracy. The proposed method adapts the unified detecting CNN of YOLO model so as to be intensified by the additional foreground contextual information obtained from pre-stage AGMM. Increased computational time incurred by additional AGMM processing is compensated by speed-up gain obtained from utilizing 2-D input data consisting of grey-level image data and foreground context information instead of 3-D color input data. Through various experiments, it is shown that the proposed method performs better with respect to accuracy and more robust to environment changes than YOLO model-based human detection method, but with the similar processing speeds to that of YOLO model-based one. Thus, it can be successfully employed for embedded surveillance application.

본 논문에서는 마르코프 랜덤 필드(Markov random fields: MRF) 기반으로 배경을 모델링하는 방식과 함께 관련 파라미터들을 추정하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 화소 기반의 배경 모델링 기법은 인근 화소 간의 연관성을 고려하지 않고 화소 단위의 시간적 변화에 대한 통계적 특성에 주로 의존하므로 판정 오류를 줄이는데 한계가 있다. 제안 알고리즘은 화소 기반으로 배경 모델을 일차적으로 수행한 다음 MRF를 이용하여 시공간적으로 인근한 화소 간의 상호 의존성을 활용하여 배경모텔의 정확도를 향상시키는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. MRF는 기본적으로 파라미터의 크기에 매우 민감하므로 기존의 MRF 기반 알고리즘은 이미지에 따라 적절한 값을 사전에 구하여 적용하고 있다. 제안한 방식은 초기에 임의의 파라미터로 배경/전경 상태변수를 구한 후에 이의 통계적 특성을 이용하여 파라미터들을 추정하고 추정된 파라미터를 적용하여 상대변수를 재차 구하는 과정을 반복함으로써 최적의 파라미터에 적응적으로 수렴하도록 조정한다. 실내외의 다양한 환경에서 촬영한 비디오를 이용하여 제안한 방식 성능을 확인한다.

본 논문은 DWT에너지 기반의 연기 검출 방법을 제안하였다. 일반적으로 연기는 형태가 명확하지 않고 주변 환경에 의하여 색상, 형태, 확산방향 등의 특징이 가변적이기 때문에 특정 정보만을 이용할 경우에는 오검출율이 높아진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 환경변화에 강인한 전경 추출 방법을 이용하여 객체를 검출하고 추출된 객체의 색상, 형태, DWT 에너지 정보를 통합적으로 사용하여 연기를 판단한다. 제안된 방법은 평균 30fps의 처리속도를 가지므로 실시간 처리가 가능하고 화재 발생 시점으로부터 연기 감지까지의 평균 소요시간이 약 7초로 빠른 조기감지가 가능하며 낮은 오검출율을 나타내었다.

Parametric min-cuts is an object proposal algorithm, which can be used for accurate image segmentation. In parametric min-cuts, foreground seeds generation plays an important role since the number and quality of foreground seeds have great effect on its efficiency and accuracy. To improve the performance of parametric min-cuts, this paper proposes a new framework for foreground seeds generation. First, to increase the odds of finding objects, saliency detection at multiple scales is used to generate a large set of diverse candidate seeds. Second, to further select good-quality seeds, a two-stage cascaded ranking classifier is used to filter and rank the candidates based on their appearance features. Experimental results show that parametric min-cuts using our seeding strategy can obtain a relative small pool of proposals with high accuracy.

Background subtraction is the first processing stage in video surveillance. It is a general term for a process which aims to separate foreground objects from a background. The goal is to construct and maintain a statistical representation of the scene that the camera sees. The output of background subtraction will be an input to a higher-level process. Background subtraction under dynamic environment in the video sequences is one such complex task. It is an important research topic in image analysis and computer vision domains. This work deals background modeling based on modified adaptive Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with three temporal differencing (TTD) method in dynamic environment. The results of background subtraction on several sequences in various testing environments show that the proposed method is efficient and robust for the dynamic environment and achieves good accuracy.
