This paper presents a complete method for vehicle detection and tracking in a fixed setting based on computer vision. Vehicle detection is performed based on Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) feature matching. With SIFT feature detection and matching, the geometrical relations between the two images is estimated. Then, the previous image is aligned with the current image so that moving vehicles can be detected by analyzing the difference image of the two aligned images. Vehicle tracking is also performed based on SIFT feature matching. For the decreasing of time consumption and maintaining higher tracking accuracy, the detected candidate vehicle in the current image is matched with the vehicle sample in the tracking sample set, which contains all of the detected vehicles in previous images. Most remarkably, the management of vehicle entries and exits is realized based on SIFT feature matching with an efficient update mechanism of the tracking sample set. This entire method is proposed for highway traffic environment where there are no non-automotive vehicles or pedestrians, as these would interfere with the results.

In this paper, we introduce the methodology that utilizes deep learning-based front-end to enhance underwater feature matching. Both optical camera and sonar are widely applicable sensors in underwater research, however, each sensor has its own weaknesses, such as light condition and turbidity for the optic camera, and noise for sonar. To overcome the problems, we proposed the opti-acoustic transformation method. Since feature detection in sonar image is challenging, we converted the sonar image to an optic style image. Maintaining the main contents in the sonar image, CNN-based style transfer method changed the style of the image that facilitates feature detection. Finally, we verified our result using cosine similarity comparison and feature matching against the original optic image.

Considering video copy transform diversity, a multi-feature video copy detection algorithm based on a Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) local descriptor is proposed in this paper. Video copy coarse detection is done by an ordinal measure (OM) algorithm after the video is preprocessed. If the matching result is greater than the specified threshold, the video copy fine detection is done based on a SURF descriptor and a box filter is used to extract integral video. In order to improve video copy detection speed, the Hessian matrix trace of the SURF descriptor is used to pre-match, and dimension reduction is done to the traditional SURF feature vector for video matching. Our experimental results indicate that video copy detection precision and recall are greatly improved compared with traditional algorithms, and that our proposed multiple features algorithm has good robustness and discrimination accuracy, as it demonstrated that video detection speed was also improved.

We present a new hybrid stereo matching technique in terms of the co-operation of area-based stereo and feature-based stereo. The core of our technique is that feature matching is carried out by the reference of the disparity evaluated by area-based stereo. Since the reference of the disparity can significantly reduce the number of feature matching combinations, feature matching error can be drastically minimized. One requirement of the disparity to be referenced is that it should be reliable to be used in feature matching. To measure the reliability of the disparity, in this paper, we employ the self-consistency of the disunity Our suggested technique is applied to the detection of 3D line segments by 2D line matching using our hybrid stereo matching, which can be efficiently utilized in the generation of the rooftop model from urban imagery. We carry out the experiments on our hybrid stereo matching scheme. We generate synthetic images by photo-realistic simulation on Avenches data set of Ascona aerial images. Experimental results indicate that the extracted 3D line segments have an average error of 0.5m and verify our proposed scheme. In order to apply our method to the generation of 3D model in urban imagery, we carry out Preliminary experiments for rooftop generation. Since occlusions are occurred around the outlines of buildings, we experimentally suggested multi-image hybrid stereo system, based on the fusion of 3D line segments. In terms of the simple domain-specific 3D grouping scheme, we notice that an accurate 3D rooftop model can be generated. In this context, we expect that an extended 3D grouping scheme using our hybrid technique can be efficiently applied to the construction of 3D models with more general types of building rooftops.

Accurate and robust image registration is important task in many applications such as image retrieval and computer vision. To perform the image registration, essential required steps are needed in the process: feature detection, extraction, matching, and reconstruction of image. In the process of these function, feature extraction not only plays a key role, but also have a big effect on its performance. There are two representative algorithms for extracting image features, which are scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) and speeded up robust feature (SURF). In this paper, we present and evaluate two methods, focusing on comparative analysis of the performance. Experiments for accurate and robust feature detection are shown on various environments such like scale changes, rotation and affine transformation. Experimental trials revealed that SURF algorithm exhibited a significant result in both extracting feature points and matching time, compared to SIFT method.

멀티미디어 기술이 발전함에 따라 대용량의 데이터베이스의 관리와 불법 복제물 검출을 위한 동영상 검색의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구에 맞춰 대용량 데이터베이스에서 고속 동영상 검색을 수행할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 고속 동영상 검색 방법은 프레임의 휘도 분포를 이용하여 공간적 특징을 추출하고, 동영상의 시간적 유사성 지도를 생성하여 시간적 특정을 추출한다. 동영상의 공간적 특정과 시간적 특정을 식별자로 구성하고 단계적인 정합 방법을 수행한다. 실험에서는 원본 동영상과 밝기 변화, 압축률 변환, 자막/로고 삽입과 같은 다양한 변형을 이용하여 정확성, 추출 및 정합 속도, 식별자 크기를 측정하여 성능을 평가하였다. 또한, 제안한 방법의 파라미터를 실험적으로 선택한 과정을 기술하고 비교 알고리즘과 공간적 특정만을 이용한 단순 정합 결과를 제시하였다. 정확성, 경색 속도 식별자 크기의 모든 결과에서, 제안한 고속 검색 방법이 대용량 데이터베이스의 동영상 경색에 가장 적합한 기술임을 보였다.

In this paper, rule-based stereo algorithm is explored to obtain three dimensional information of an object. In the preprocessing of the stereo matching, feature points of stereo images must be less sensitive to noise and well linked. For this purpose, a new feature points detection algorithm is developed. For performing the stereo matching which is most important process of the stereo algorithm, the feature representation of feature points is first described. The feature representation is then used for a rule-based stereo algorithm to determine the correspondence between the input stereo images. Finally, the three dimensional information of the object is determined from the correspondence of the feature points of right and left images.
