This paper proposes a new approach to extract contour of moving object from compressed video stream. We segment the area of moving object by using motion vector and extract the motion object block from it. And then we describe the connectivity direction of outline moving block, detect the edge related to connectivity direction in the block and finally obtain the contour by connecting the edges. This can divide the moving object only with motion vector and detect the exact contour on the basis of the edge automatically. Also, we can reduce spending time using motion block and remove the noise with directional edge. The experimental results demonstrate the accurate and effective qualify of the proposed method.

Object detection is a fundamental yet challenging task in computer vision that plays an important role in object recognition, tracking, scene analysis and understanding. This paper aims to propose a multiproperty fusion algorithm for moving object detection. First, we build a scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) vector field and analyze vectors in the SIFT vector field to divide vectors in the SIFT vector field into different classes. Second, the distance of each class is calculated by dispersion analysis. Next, the target and contour can be extracted, and then we segment the different images, reversal process and carry on morphological processing, the moving objects can be detected. The experimental results have good stability, accuracy and efficiency.

The paper presents an efficient method of extracting line segment in a local map of a robot's surroundings. The local map is composed of 2-D grids that have both the occupancy and orientation probabilities using sonar sensors. To find the shape of an object in a local map from orientation information, the orientations are clustered into several groups according to their values. The line segment is , then, extracted from the clusters based on Hough transform. The proposed technique is illustrated by experiments in an indoor environment.

Wavelet transform is not applicable to arbitrarily-shaped region (or object) in images, due to the nature of its global decomposition. In this paper, the arbitrarily-shaped wavelet transform(ASWT) is proposed in order to solve this problem and its properties are investigated. Computation complexity of the ASWT is also examined and it is shown that the ASWT requires significantly fewer computations than conventional wavelet transform, since the ASWT processes only the object region in the original image. Experimental resutls show that any arbitrarily-shaped image segment can be decomposed using the ASWT and perfectly reconstructed using the inverse ASWT.

While non-predefined object segmentation (NDOS) distinguishes an arbitrary self-assumed object from its background, predefined object segmentation (DOS) pre-specifies the target object. In this paper, a new and novel method to segment predefined objects is presented, by globally optimizing an orientation-based objective function that measures the fitness of the object boundary, in a discretized parameter space. A specific object is explicitly described by normalized discrete sets of boundary points and corresponding normal vectors with respect to its plane shape. The orientation factor provides robust distinctness for target objects. By considering the order of transformation elements, and their dependency on the derived over-segmentation outcome, the domain of translations and scales is efficiently discretized. A branch and bound algorithm is used to determine the transformation parameters of a shape model corresponding to a target object in an image. The results tested on the PASCAL dataset show a considerable achievement in solving complex backgrounds and unclear boundary images.

영상 검색의 수행 방법으로 사람의 시각 시스템의 특성을 기반으로 주요 의미를 갖는 객체의 효과적인 특징 추출을 통한 내용기반 영상 검색 시스템을 제안한다. 관심 객체 영역이 우선적으로 검출되도록 하기 위해 영상 내에서 비교적 면적이 크고 배경색상과의 차이가 크면서 영상의 가운데 위치하는 영역을 의미를 갖는 주요 객체로 판단하였다. 영상 고유의 특징을 얻기 위해서는 영상의 객체 윤곽선의 전체 길이를 정규화 된 일정한 세그먼트로 분할한 후에 객체 윤곽선의 세그먼트가 갖는 편각차분 벡터들의 누적 합과 양분된 객체의 시그너처를 추출하여 물체의 회전과 크기 변화에 적응적인 형태 특징으로 사용한다. 이와 같은 형태 특징을 필두로 해서 질감 샘플과 칼라, 그리고 이심률 정보를 결합하여 유사도를 측정함으로써 이동, 회전 크기 변화에 강건한 검색이 가능했으며 영역의 부분적인 변화나 손상으로 인한 객체 특성의 왜곡 현상에 덜 민감하게 반응하였다. 또한 Box-Counting Dimension에 의한 프랙탈 차원을 이용하여 측정한 객체간 복잡도 관계를 기반으로 하여 영상 특징에 서로 다른 유사도 가중치를 부여하는 방법이 잘못된 검색을 최소로 하여 더욱 효율적인 검색율을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose a method to segment the bottle label in images taken by mobile phones using multi-gradient approaches. In order to segment the label region of interest-object, the saliency map method and Hough Transformation method are first applied to the original images to obtain the candidate region. The saliency map is used to detect the most salient area based on three kinds of features (color, orientation and illumination features). The Hough Transformation is a technique to isolated features of a particular shape within an image. Therefore, we utilize it to find the left and right border of the bottle. Next, we segment the label based on the gradient information obtained from the structure tensor method and edge method. The experimental results have shown that the proposed method is able to accurately segment the labels as the first step of product label recognition system.

We model a moving object as a sizable physical entity equipped with GPS, wireless communication capability, and a computer such as a PDA and mobile phone. Furthermore, we have observed that a real trajectory of a moving object is the result of interactions among moving objects in the system yielding Multi-points instead of a line segment. In this paper, the new types and operations are integrated seamlessly into the moving object framework to achieve a relatively simple, consistent and powerful overall model and query language for constrained and unconstrained movement.

Corner detection and feature extraction are essential aspects of computer vision problems such as object recognition and tracking. Feature detectors such as Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) yields high quality features but computationally intensive for use in real-time applications. The Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST) detector provides faster feature computation by extracting only corner information in recognising an object. In this paper we have analyzed the efficient object detection algorithms with respect to efficiency, quality and robustness by comparing characteristics of image detectors for corner detector and feature extractors. The simulated result shows that compared to conventional SIFT algorithm, the object recognition system based on the FAST corner detector yields increased speed and low performance degradation. The average time to find keypoints in SIFT method is about 0.116 seconds for extracting 2169 keypoints. Similarly the average time to find corner points was 0.651 seconds for detecting 1714 keypoints in FAST methods at threshold 30. Thus the FAST method detects corner points faster with better quality images for object recognition.

본 논문에서는 움직이는 카메라로부터 획득한 연속영상에서 이동물체를 자동으로 검출하고 추적하는 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 크게 이동물체 검출과 추적과정으로 나뉘어진다. 이동물체는 BBME(block-based motion estimation)와 DD(double difference)를 통합한 방법을 이용하여 검출된다. 검출된 이동물체는 히스토그램 백 프로젝션을 통하여 분할되며, 히스토그램 인터섹션과 XY-프로젝션을 사용하여 대상물체를 정합하고 추적된다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 방법이 움직이는 카메라로부터 획득된 영상에서 이동물체를 검출하고 큰 오차 없이 추적함을 보였다.
