In this study we propose a new texture feature extraction method based on an estimation of the brightness and structural uniformity of CT images representing the important characteristics for emphysema recognition. The Center-Symmetric Local Binary Pattern (CS-LBP) is first used to combine gray level in order to describe the brightness uniformity characteristics of the CT image. Then the gradient orientation difference is proposed to generate another CS-LBP code combining with gray level to represent the structural uniformity characteristics of the CT image. The usage of the gray level, CS-LBP and gradient orientation differences enables the proposed method to extract rich and distinctive information from the CT images in multiple directions. Experimental results showed that the performance of the proposed method is more stable with respect to sensitivity and specificity when compared with the SGLDM, GLRLM and GLDM. The proposed method outperformed these three conventional methods (SGLDM, GLRLM, and GLDM) 7.85[%], 22.87[%], and 16.67[%] respectively, according to the diagnosis of average accuracy, demonstrated by the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves.

본 논문에서는 다양한 교통 표지판 중에서 운전자의 안전운행에 밀접하게 관계가 있는 속도 표지판을 인식하는 연구에 초점을 맞추고 있다. HOG (histogram of gradient)와 LBP (local binary patterns) 가 객체 인식을 위한 대표적 특징이지만, 이러한 특징들은 패턴을 생성할 때 목표 객체의 회전을 고려하지 않음으로써 객체의 회전에 약한 특성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 회전에 강인한 이진 패턴을 생성하기 위해 FRIBP (fast rotation-invariant binary patterns)를 제안하고 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 FRIBP 알고리즘은 히스토그램에서 불필요한 레이어를 삭제하고 비교연산과 시프트 연산을 제거하여 빠르게 원하는 특징을 추출할 수 있도록 설계되었다. 제안된 FRIBP 알고리즘은 GTSRB (German Traffic Sign Recognition Benchmark) 데이터에 적용되어, 다른 비교 알고리즘과 유사한 성능을 보여주었다. 또한, 12,630개의 테스트 데이터에 대해 기존의 방법들보다 약 0.47초가 향상된 인식 속도를 보여주었다.

We propose a novel eye tracking method that can estimate 3D world coordinates using an infrared (IR) stereo camera for indoor and outdoor environments. This method first detects dark evidences such as eyes, eyebrows and mouths by fast multi-level thresholding. Among these evidences, eye pair evidences are detected by evidential reasoning and geometrical rules. For robust accuracy, two classifiers based on multiple layer perceptron (MLP) using gradient local binary patterns (GLBPs) verify whether the detected evidences are real eye pairs or not. Finally, the 3D world coordinates of detected eyes are calculated by region-based stereo matching. Compared with other eye detection methods, the proposed method can detect the eyes of people wearing sunglasses due to the use of the IR spectrum. Especially, when people are in dark environments such as driving at nighttime, driving in an indoor carpark, or passing through a tunnel, human eyes can be robustly detected because we use active IR illuminators. In the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed method can detect eye pairs with high performance in real-time under variable illumination conditions. Therefore, the proposed method can contribute to human-computer interactions (HCIs) and intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) applications such as gaze tracking, windshield head-up display and drowsiness detection.

Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and its variants have powerful discriminative capabilities but most of them just consider each LBP code independently. In this paper, we propose sub oriented histograms of LBP for smoke detection and image classification. We first extract LBP codes from an image, compute the gradient of LBP codes, and then calculate sub oriented histograms to capture spatial relations of LBP codes. Since an LBP code is just a label without any numerical meaning, we use Hamming distance to estimate the gradient of LBP codes instead of Euclidean distance. We propose to use two coordinates systems to compute two orientations, which are quantized into discrete bins. For each pair of the two discrete orientations, we generate a sub LBP code map from the original LBP code map, and compute sub oriented histograms for all sub LBP code maps. Finally, all the sub oriented histograms are concatenated together to form a robust feature vector, which is input into SVM for training and classifying. Experiments show that our approach not only has better performance than existing methods in smoke detection, but also has good performance in texture classification.

Smoke and fire have different shapes and colours. This article suggests a fully connected system which is used two features using Adaboost algorithm for constructing a strong classifier as linear combination. We calculate the local histogram feature by gradient and bin, local binary pattern value, and projection vectors for each cell. According to the histogram magnitude, this paper applied adapted weighting value to improve the recognition rate. To preserve the local region and shape feature which has edge intensity, this paper processed the normalization sequence. For the extracted features, this paper Adaboost algorithm which makes strong classification to classify the objects. Our smoke detection system based on the proposed approach leads to higher detection accuracy than other system.

This paper presents a super-resolution reconstruction method based on sparse representation for two-dimensional bar code images. Considering the features of two-dimensional bar code images, Kirsch and LBP (local binary pattern) operators are used to extract the edge gradient and texture features. Feature extraction is constituted based on these two features and additional two second-order derivatives. By joint dictionary learning of the low-resolution and high-resolution image patch pairs, the sparse representation of corresponding patches is the same. In addition, the global constraint is exerted on the initial estimation of high-resolution image which makes the reconstructed result closer to the real one. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for two-dimensional bar code images by comparing with other reconstruction algorithms.

주어진 이진영상 안에 존재하는 객체를 인식하기 위해서는 영상분할과 패턴정합 과정을 거친다. 영상 내의 이진 객체들이 서로 분리되었다는 조건 하에서는 면적, 경계선의 길이, 또는 그들 사이의 비례 등과 같은 대상 전체의 특징을 기술하는 전역적 특징을 이용해서 객체를 인식할 수 있지만 객체들이 서로에 의해 부분적으로 가리어져 있으면 전역적 특징은 사용될 수 없고 점, 선분 등 객체의 부분을 기술하는 국지적 특징들을 이용해서 인식해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 모델의 경계선상의 곡률이 큰 점들을 추출하여 특징점으로 삼고, 그 가운데 두 점을 택하여 하나의 국지적 특징으로 사용한다. 또한 모델과 입력영상에서 각기 추출된 국지적 특징들을 비교하여 정합함으로써 부분적으로 가려진 객체를 인식하는 방법을 제안하고 있다. 특징점의 쌍으로 표현되는 국지적 특징을 서로 비교함에 있어서 두 점간의 거리와 양 특징점에서의 그래디언트 벡터의 사이 각을 일치시키는데 필요한 탄성변형 에너지를 이용하여 국지적 특징 사이의 유사도를 정의한다. 인식대상 객체 상의 한 특징점의 레이블을 다른 특징점의 레이블들이 얼마나 지지하는 지를 계산함으로써 부분적으로 가려진 객체를 안정적으로 인식하는 방법을 제안한다. Kimia-25 데이터에 대한 실험 결과 최대 클리크 알고리즘의 4.5배의 속도로 동일한 인식률을 얻음을 보였다.

Infrared pedestrian target recognition is a vital problem of significant interest in computer vision. In this work, a novel infrared pedestrian target recognition method that uses heterogeneous features with multi-kernel transfer learning is proposed. Firstly, to exploit the characteristics of infrared pedestrian targets fully, a novel multi-scale monogenic filtering-based completed local binary pattern descriptor, referred to as MSMF-CLBP, is designed to extract the texture information, and then an improved histogram of oriented gradient-fisher vector descriptor, referred to as HOG-FV, is proposed to extract the shape information. Second, to enrich the semantic content of feature expression, these two heterogeneous features are integrated to get more complete representation for infrared pedestrian targets. Third, to overcome the defects, such as poor generalization, scarcity of tagged infrared samples, distributional and semantic deviations between the training and testing samples, of the state-of-the-art classifiers, an effective multi-kernel transfer learning classifier called MK-TrAdaBoost is designed. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms many state-of-the-art recognition approaches for infrared pedestrian targets.

Finding a head of a person in a scene is very important for taking a well composed picture by a robot photographer because it depends on the position of the head. So in this paper, we propose a robust head tracking algorithm using a hybrid of an omega shape tracker and local binary pattern (LBP) AdaBoost face detector for the robot photographer to take a fine picture automatically. Face detection algorithms have good performance in terms of finding frontal faces, but it is not the same for rotated faces. In addition, when the face is occluded by a hat or hands, it has a hard time finding the face. In order to solve this problem, the omega shape tracker based on active shape model (ASM) is presented. The omega shape tracker is robust to occlusion and illuminationchange. However, whenthe environment is dynamic,such as when people move fast and when there is a complex background, its performance is unsatisfactory. Therefore, a method combining the face detection algorithm and the omega shape tracker by probabilistic method using histograms of oriented gradient (HOG) descriptor is proposed in this paper, in order to robustly find human head. A robot photographer was also implemented to abide by the 'rule of thirds' and to take photos when people smile.
