본 연구에서는 영상획득 조건을 충분히 만족시키지 못하는 몰입형 디스플레이 환경에서 다수의 사용자 머리위치를 탐지하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 기법은 몰입형 가상환경에서 적외선 반사영상을 획득하고 그로부터 배경을 제거함으로써 얻어진 전경(foreground) 영역으로부터 프로젝션 히스토그램을 생성하고 사용자 실루엣을 추출하게 된다. 모든 사용자의 머리는 다각형 근사된 실루엣과 프로젝션 히스토그램에 기반하여 탐지된다. 또한 향후 몰입형 가상환경에서의 다중 사용자 트래킹을 지원하기 위해 스테레오 영상에서 탐지된 머리를 기준으로 탐색영역을 정의, 대응점을 결정하고 그에 기반하여 각 사용자 머리의 3차원 위치를 계산하였다.

컴퓨터 비전 연구에서의 주요 관심은 객체의 특징을 이용하여 객체를 분간하거나 또는 계수하는데 있어 왔다. 최근 대단위의 사람들이 운집하는 공공장소에서의 사고에 대비한 대책의 기준으로 혼잡도라는 점보의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 객체들이 존재하는 전경(Foreground) 영역을 객체들이 없는 배경 영역(back ground)으로부터 분리한 후 전경 영역에서의 edge pixel 들의 수를 계수하여 혼잡도의 정도를 구한다. 전경 영역과 배경 영역은 소 영역별로 RGB에 대한 표준편차와 평균을 비교 분석해서 구분하고 배경 영역을 삭제한다. 전경 영역에서 edge detection 방법을 이용하여 환경에 알맞은 edge pixels수를 계수하고 pixels수와 혼잡도 사이의 관계를 구한다. 이러한 측정 방법의 장점은 다양한 환경에서도 혼잡도라는 기본 특징정보를 추출할 수 있다는 것이다.

In this paper, we propose a panorama-based object tracking scheme for wide-view surveillance systems that can detect and track moving objects with a pan-tilt camera. A dynamic mosaic of the background is progressively integrated in a single image using the camera motion information. For the camera motion estimation, we calculate affine motion parameters for each frame sequentially with respect to its previous frame. The camera motion is robustly estimated on the background by discriminating between background and foreground regions. The modified block-based motion estimation is used to separate the background region. Each moving object is segmented by image subtraction from the mosaic background. The proposed tracking system has demonstrated good performance for several test video sequences.

A new roof edge detection method based on multi level scales of wavelet function is proposed in this paper roof edge and its direction are obtained in this new methods at one time. Besides. scale characteristics of detecting roof edge is analyzed. And a few new methods on fingerprint image pre-processing are described. A method segmenting foreground/background of fingerprint images is proposed, in which Prior estimation of direction field is not required any more. A segmentation method based on multi-scale roof edges is implemented. and the valid scale range of the method is defined. too. And the method is used to segment ridges and valleys in fingerprint images simultaneously The exact direction fields made up of the direction of each point in ridges can be obtained when detecting ridges exactly based on the roof edge detector, in comparison with the traditional coarse estimation of direction fields. Obviously. it will establish a solid foundation for the sequent fingerprint identification.

We propose a background subtraction method for moving cameras based on trajectory classification, image segmentation and label inference. In the trajectory classification process, PCA-based outlier detection strategy is used to remove the outliers in the foreground trajectories. Combining optical flow trajectory with watershed algorithm, we propose a trajectory-controlled watershed segmentation algorithm which effectively improves the edge-preserving performance and prevents the over-smooth problem. Finally, label inference based on Markov Random field is conducted for labeling the unlabeled pixels. Experimental results on the motionseg database demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed approach compared with other competing methods.

프로젝션 화면(projection display) 상에 보여지는 가상의 물체를 사용자가 직접 조작할 수 있는 인터페이스를 제공하기 위해서는 전경 물체를 검출해내는 과정이 필수적이다. 이전의 색상 정보만을 이용하는 방법은 몇 가지 제약 조건을 가지고 있었다. 본 논문은 색상 보정 (color calibration)과 스테레오 정보(stereo information)를 이용하여 프로젝션 화면 내의 전경물체를 검출하는 방법을 제안한다. 실험에서는 프로젝터를 통해 책상 표면에 투사되는 영상과 일반 캠코더를 통해 얻어진 영상 사이의 왜곡을 기하 왜곡과 색상 왜곡으로 정의하여 모델링 하였고, 스테레오 정보를 이용하여 얻어진 최종 결과를 통해 제안된 방법의 실효성을 입증할 수 있었다.

Moving object segmentation from a nonstationary camera is a difficult problem due to the motion of both camera and the object. In this paper, we propose a new confidence-based background subtraction technique from moving camera. The method is based on clustering of motion vectors and generating adaptive multi-homography from a pair of adjacent video frames. The main innovation concerns the use of confidence images for each foreground and background motion groups. Experimental results revealed that our confidence-based approach robustly detect moving targets in sequences taken by a freely moving camera.

There has been an increase in video surveillance for public safety and security, which increases the video data, leading to analysis, and storage issues. Furthermore, most surveillance videos contain an empty frame of hours of video footage; thus, extracting useful information is crucial. The prominent framework used in surveillance for efficient storage and analysis is video synopsis. However, the existing video synopsis procedure is not applicable for creating an abnormal object-based synopsis. Therefore, we proposed a lightweight synopsis methodology that initially detects and extracts abnormal foreground objects and their respective backgrounds, which is stitched to construct a synopsis.

The boundary noise in image syntheses using DIBR consists of noisy pixels that are separated from foreground objects into background region. It is generated mainly by edge misalignment between the reference image and depth map or blurred edge in the reference image. Since hole areas are generally filled with neighboring pixels, boundary noise adjacent to the hole is the main cause of quality degradation in synthesized images. To solve this problem, a new boundary noise removal algorithm using a preprocessing of the depth map is proposed in this paper. The most common way to eliminate boundary noise caused by boundary misalignment is to modify depth map so that the boundary of the depth map can be matched to that of the reference image. Most conventional methods, however, show poor performances of boundary detection especially in blurred edge, because they are based on a simple boundary search algorithm which exploits signal gradient. In the proposed method, a two-step hierarchical approach for boundary detection is adopted which enables effective boundary detection between the transition and background regions. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms conventional ones subjectively and objectively.

The object detection is essential for identifying objects, location information, and user context-aware in the image. In this paper, we propose a robust object detection system. The System linearly transforms learning data obtained from the background images to Principal components. It organizes the Eigen-background with the selected Principal components which are able to discriminate between foreground and background. The Fuzzy-C-means (FCM) carries out clustering for images with inputs from the Eigen-background information and classifies them into objects and backgrounds. It used various patterns of backgrounds as learning data in order to implement a system applicable even to the changing environments, Our system was able to effectively detect partial movements of a human body, as well as to discriminate between objects and backgrounds removing noises and shadows without anyone frame image for fixed background.
