  • Surveillance system with the fixed field of view generally has an identical background and is easy to extract and segment a moving object. However, it is difficult to extract the object when the gray level of the background is varied due to illumination condition in the real circumstance. In this paper we propose the segmentation algorithm to extract effectively the object in spite of the illumination change. In order to minimize the effect of illumination, the proposed algorithm is composed of three modes according to the background generation and the illuminational change. Then the object is finally obtained by using projection and the morphological operator in post-processing. A good segmentation performance is demonstrated by the simulation result.

  • This paper studies on the recognition rate change with respect to illumination variance and the confidence level of PCA(Principal Component Analysis) based face recognition by measuring the cumulative match score of CMC(Cumulative Match Characteristic). We studied on the confidence level of the algorithm under illumination changes and selection of training images not only by testing multiple training images per person with illumination variance and single training image and but also by changing the illumination conditions of testing images. The experiment shows that the recognition rate drops for multiple training image case compared to single training image case. We, however, confirmed the confidence level of the algorithm under illumination variance by the fact that the training image which corresponds to the identity of testing image belongs to upper similarity lists regardless of illumination changes and the number of training images.

  • In video sequences, foreground object detection being composed of a background model and a background subtraction is an important part of diverse computer vision applications. However, object detection might fail in sudden illumination changes. In this letter, an illumination-robust background detection is proposed to address this problem. The method can provide quick adaption to current illumination condition using two background models with different adaption rates. Since the proposed method is a non-parametric approach, experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms several state-of-art non-parametric approaches and provides low computational cost.

  • This paper gives a review on three illumination issues of face tracking on smart phones: dark scenes, sudden lighting change and backlit effect. First, we propose a fast and robust face tracking method utilizing continuous adaptive mean shift algorithm (CAMSHIFT) and CbCr skin locus. Initially, the skin locus obtained from training video data. After that, a modified CAMSHIFT version based on the skin locus is accordingly provided. Second, we suggest an enhancement method to increase the chance of detecting faces, an important initialization step for face tracking, under dark illumination. The proposed method works comparably with traditional CAMSHIFT or particle filter, and outperforms these methods when dealing with our public video data with the three illumination issues mentioned above.

  • This paper suggests the robust method of extraction for moving objects in illumination variation by using image sequence from an immovable camera. The most difficult part of the implication is the effect by illumination and noise. The object area is hardly estimated when the dusky area occurs in illumination variation by time change. This thesis describes the extraction of moving objects employed by Gaussian mixture model which is noise robust measure. Also, the report suggests the elimination method of illumination part in input image by the representative illumination image which is defined to minimize the illumination influence.

  • Solar-sharing, which is an agricultural photovoltaic system installing solar panels on the upper part of crop growing field, has especially drawn attention. Because paddy fields for cultivating crops are large flat areas, there have been various attempts to utilize solar energy for solar photovoltaic as well as growth of crops in agriculture. Solar-sharing was first proposed in Japan, and has been actively studied for optimization and practical uses. The domestic climate differs from the climate conditions in which the solar-sharing has been widely studied, therefore, it is required to develop the solar-sharing technology suitable for the domestic climate. In this study, a simulation model was developed to analyze the change of solar radiation resulted from the solar-sharing installation. Monthly solar illumination intensity and the change of illumination intensity according to the various conditions of solar panel installation were simulated. The results of monthly illumination analysis differed by altitude of the sun, which was related to season. In addition, it was analyzed that the monthly illumination decreased by up to 42% due to solar-sharing. Accordingly, it is recommended that solar-sharing should be installed as a way to maximize the efficiency of solar photovoltaic system while minimizing the decrease in solar radiation reaching the crops.

  • We propose an image change detection algorithm implemented on sensor nodes of the ubiquitous sensor network(USN). The proposed algorithm was designed for the robust detection of image changes regardless of the continuously changing ambient illumination environment. Morphological lowpass filter was used for estimating the illumination component in order to reduce computational burden instead of the existing Gaussian lowpass filter. The decision of the change detection is based on the result of threshold of difference image between two consecutive images. We also propose a new thresholding method using precalculated histogram information. The proposed algorithm was implemented on the MSP430 16bit microprocessor.

  • In this paper, we implemented a LED sensitivity illumination system, being driven in response to changes in the biological signals of GSR and PPG signal. After measuring biological signals of a human body from GSR and PPG sensor modules, MCU decided the state of relaxation or arousal of the subject, being based on the wake relaxation identifying map proposed in this paper. A developed LED sensitivity illumination system makes the subject to reach a normal state by giving a change of the LED illumination color, corresponding to a state of the subject.

  • For the research field of night infrared surveillance video, the target imaging in the video is easily affected by the light due to the characteristics of the active infrared camera and the classical ViBe algorithm has some problems for moving target extraction because of background misjudgment, noise interference, ghost shadow and so on. Therefore, an improved ViBe algorithm (I-ViBe) for moving target extraction in night infrared surveillance video is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the video frames are sampled and judged by the degree of light influence, and the video frame is divided into three situations: no light change, small light change, and severe light change. Secondly, the ViBe algorithm is extracted the moving target when there is no light change. The segmentation factor of the ViBe algorithm is adaptively changed to reduce the impact of the light on the ViBe algorithm when the light change is small. The moving target is extracted using the region growing algorithm improved by the image entropy in the differential image of the current frame and the background model when the illumination changes drastically. Based on the results of the simulation, the I-ViBe algorithm proposed has better robustness to the influence of illumination. When extracting moving targets at night the I-ViBe algorithm can make target extraction more accurate and provide more effective data for further night behavior recognition and target tracking.
