In this paper, we propose effective boundary line extraction algorithm for moving objects by matching error image and moving vectors, and fast tracking algorithm for moving object by partial boundary lines. We extracted boundary line for moving object by generating seeds with probability distribution function based on Watershed algorithm, and by extracting boundary line for moving objects through extending seeds, and then by using moving vectors. We processed tracking algorithm for moving object by using a part of boundary lines as features. We set up a part of every-direction boundary line for moving object as the initial feature vectors for moving objects. Then, we tracked moving object within current frames by using feature vector for the previous frames. As the result of the simulation for tracking moving object on the real images, we found that tracking processing of the proposed algorithm was simple due to tracking boundary line only for moving object as a feature, in contrast to the traditional tracking algorithm for active contour line that have varying processing cost with the length of boundary line. The operations was reduced about 39% as contrasted with the full search BMA. Tracking error was less than 4 pixel when the feature vector was $(15\times{5)}$ through the information of every-direction boundary line. The proposed algorithm just needed 200 times of search operation.

Cluttered background is a major obstacle in developing salient object detection and tracking system for mobile device captured natural scene video frames. In this paper we propose a context aware feature vector selection model to provide an efficient noise filtering by machine learning based classifiers. Since the context awareness for feature selection is achieved by searching nearest neighborhoods, known as NP hard problem, we apply a fast approximation method with complexity analysis in details. Separability enhancement in feature vector space by adding the context aware feature subsets is studied rigorously using principal component analysis (PCA). Overall performance enhancement is quantified by the statistical measures in terms of the various machine learning models including MLP, SVM, Naïve Bayesian, CART. Summary of computational costs and performance enhancement is also presented.

Feature detection and description are key ingredients of common image processing and computer vision applications. Most existing algorithms focus on robust feature matching under challenging conditions, such as inplane rotations and scale changes. Consequently, they usually fail when the scene is blurred by camera shake or an object's motion. To solve this problem, we propose a new feature description algorithm that is robust to image blur and significantly improves the feature matching performance. The proposed algorithm builds a feature descriptor by considering the integral projection along four angular directions ($0^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, and $135^{\circ}$) and by combining four projection vectors into a single highdimensional vector. Intensive experiment shows that the proposed descriptor outperforms existing descriptors for different types of blur caused by linear motion, nonlinear motion, and defocus. Furthermore, the proposed descriptor is robust to intensity changes and image rotation.

In this paper, We propose the feature-based 3D model Retrieval System. 3D models are represented as triangle meshes. A first simple feature vector can be calculated from hull. After looking for meshes intersected with the hull, we compute the curvature of meshes. These curvature are used as the model descriptor.

This paper proposed the content-based retrieval system as a method for performing image retrieval through the effective feature extraction of the object of significant meaning based on the characteristics of man's visual system. To allow the object region of interest to be primarily detected, the region, being comparatively large size, greatly different from the background color and located in the middle of the image, was judged as the major object with a meaning. To get the original features of the image, the cumulative sum of tile declination difference vector the segment of the object contour had and the signature of the bipartite object were extracted and used in the form of being applied to the rotation of the object and the change of the size after partition of the total length of the object contour of the image into the normalized segment. Starting with this form feature, it was possible to make a retrieval robust to any change in translation, rotation and scaling by combining information on the texture sample, color and eccentricity and measuring the degree of similarity. It responded less sensitively to the phenomenon of distortion of the object feature due to the partial change or damage of the region. Also, the method of imposing a different weight of similarity on the image feature based on the relationship of complexity between measured objects using the fractal dimension by the Boxing-Counting Dimension minimized the wrong retrieval and showed more efficient retrieval rate.

The $(L,\psi)$ feature description on the binary boundary air craft image is introduced of classifying 3-D object (aircraft) identification. Three types for associative matrix memories are employed and tested for their classification performance. The fast association involved in these memories can be implemented using a parallel optical matrix-vector operation. Two associative memories are based on pseudoinverse solutions and the third one is interoduced as a paralell version of a nearest-neighbor classifier. Detailed simulation results for each associative processor are provided.

This paper proposes an automatic video monitoring system and its application to emergency detection by analyzing human behavior using neural network. The object area is identified by subtracting the statistically constructed background image from the input image. The identified object area then is transformed to the feature vector. Neural network has been adapted for analyzing the human behavior using the feature vector, and is designed to classify the behavior in rather simple numerical calculation. The system proposed in this paper is able to classify the three human behavior: stand, faint, and squat. Experiment results shows that the proposed algorithm is very efficient and useful in detecting the emergency situation.

This paper presents a translation, rotation and scale invariant methodology for the recognition of closed planar shape images using the bispectrum of a contour sequence and the learning vector quantization(LVQ) neural classifier. The contour sequences obtained from the closed planar images represent the Euclidean distance between the centroid and all boundary pixels of the shape, and are related to the overall shape of the images. The higher order spectra based on third order cumulants is applied to tihs contour sample to extract fifteen bispectral feature vectors for each planar image. There feature vector, which are invariant to shape translation, rotation and scale transformation, can be used to represent two0dimensional planar images and are fed into a neural network classifier. The LVQ architecture is chosen as a neural classifier because the network is easy and fast to train, the structure is relatively simple. The experimental recognition processes with eight different hapes of aircraft images are presented to illustrate the high performance of this proposed method even the target images are significantly corrupted by noise.
