Image Mosaicing creates a new image by composing video frames or still images that are related, and performed by arrangement, composition and redundancy analysis of images. This paper proposes a hierarchical image mosaicing system using camera and object parameters far efficient video database construction. A tree-based image mosiacing has implemented for high-speed computation time and for construction of static and dynamic image mosaic. Camera parameters are measured by using least sum of squared difference and affine model. Dynamic object detection algorithm has proposed for extracting dynamic objects. For object extraction, difference image, macro block, region splitting and 4-split detection methods are proposed and used. Also, a dynamic positioning method is used for presenting dynamic objects and a blurring method is used for creating flexible mosaic image.

This paper proposes a region-based segmentation algorithm fur extracting a video object by using the cost of potential of frame-difference energies. In the first step of a region-based segmentation using spatial intensity, each frame is segmented into a partition of homogeneous regions finely so that each region does not contain the contour of a video object. The fine partition is used as an initial partition for the second step of spatio-temporal segmentation. In spatio-temporal segmentation, the homogeneity cost for each pair of adjacent regions is computed which reflects the potential between the frame-difference energy on the common contour and the frame-difference energy of the lower potential region of the two. The pair of adjacent regions whose cost is minimal then is searched. The two regions of minimum cost ale merged, which result in updating the partition. The merging is recursively performed until only the contours remain which have Same difference energies of high potential. In the fecal step of post-processing, the video object is extracted removing the contours inside the object.

Generally, moving objects in surveillance video are extracted by background subtraction or frame difference method. However, moving cast shadows on object distort extracted figures which cause serious detection problems. Especially, analyzing vehicle information in video frames from a fixed surveillance camera on road, we obtain inaccurate results by shadow which vehicle causes. So, Shadow Elimination is essential to extract right objects from frames in surveillance video. And we use shadow removal algorithm for vehicle classification. In our paper, as we suppress moving cast shadow in object, we efficiently discriminate vehicle types. After we fit new object of shadow-removed object as three dimension object, we use extracted attributes for supervised learning to classify vehicle types. In experiment, we use 3 learning methods {IBL, C4.5, NN(Neural Network)} so that we evaluate the result of vehicle classification by shadow elimination.

A large amount of image data sets are required for image deep learning, and there are many differences in the method of obtaining images and constructing image data sets depending on the type of object. In this paper, we presented a method of constructing an image data set for deep learning and analyzed the performance that varies depending on the object to be tracked. We took a video by rotating the object, and then created a data set by segmenting the video using the proposed data set construction method. As a result of performance analysis, detection rate was more than 95%, and detection rate of objects with little change in shape was higher performance. It is considered that it is effective to use the data set construction method presented in this paper for a situation in which it is difficult to obtain image data and to track an object with little change in shape within a video.

In this paper, teaching object-oriented design in a programming course is a big challenge for instructors. "Objects-first" is a popular strategy for teaching object-oriented programming in the educational settings, by introducing the concepts of objects, classes, and instances before procedural elements of a programming language. Still, this approach emphasizes coding rather than other critical aspects of software development, notably problem-solving and design. We propose a "design-first" approach, which subsumes an objects-first approach into lessons that also introduce object-oriented analysis and design, using elements of UML before implementing any code. We also present video rental store (SRS) that uses the design-first approach to help students of various teaming styles in a software engineering course. It interfaces with an IDE we have chosen specifically to support the design-first approach, and SRS which has been shown to be effective in helping students learn object-oriented programming concepts.

In this paper, we propose a semi-automatic method for semantic video object extraction which extracts meaningful objects from an input sequence with one correctly segmented training image. Given one correctly segmented image acquired by the user's interaction in the first frame, the proposed method automatically segments and tracks the objects in the following frames. We formulate the semantic object extraction procedure as an energy minimization problem at the fragment level instead of pixel level. The proposed energy function consists of two terms: data term and smoothness term. The data term is computed by considering patch similarity, color, and motion information. Then, the smoothness term is introduced to enforce the spatial continuity. Finally, iterated conditional modes (ICM) optimization is used to minimize energy function in a globally optimal manner. The proposed semantic video object extraction method provides faithful results for various types of image sequences.

Background subtraction is the first processing stage in video surveillance. It is a general term for a process which aims to separate foreground objects from a background. The goal is to construct and maintain a statistical representation of the scene that the camera sees. The output of background subtraction will be an input to a higher-level process. Background subtraction under dynamic environment in the video sequences is one such complex task. It is an important research topic in image analysis and computer vision domains. This work deals background modeling based on modified adaptive Gaussian mixture model (GMM) with three temporal differencing (TTD) method in dynamic environment. The results of background subtraction on several sequences in various testing environments show that the proposed method is efficient and robust for the dynamic environment and achieves good accuracy.

Moving object tracking techniques can be considered as one of the most essential technique in the video understanding of which the importance is much more emphasized recently. However, irregularity of light condition in the video, variations in shape and size of object, camera motion, and occlusion make it difficult to tracking moving object in the video. Swarm based methods are developed to improve the performance of Kalman filter and particle filter which are known as the most representative conventional methods, but these methods also need to consider dynamic property of moving object. This paper proposes adaptive parameter control method which can dynamically change weight value among parameters in particle swarm optimization. The proposed method classifies each particle to 3 groups, and assigns different weight values to improve object tracking performance. Experimental results show that our scheme shows considerable improvement of performance in tracking objects which have nonlinear movements such as occlusion or unexpected movement.

In this paper, an adaptive algorithm is proposed in streaming MPEG-4 contents with fluctuating resource amount such as throughput of network conditions. In the area of adaptive streaming issue, a lot of researches have been made on how to represent encoded media(such as video) bitstream in scalable way. By contrast, MPEG-4 supports object-based multimedia content which is composed of various types of media streams such as audio, video, image and other graphical elements. Thus, it can be more effective to provide individual media streams in scalable way for streaming object-based content to heterogeneous environment. The proposed method provides the multiple media streams corresponding to an object with different qualities and bit rate in order to support object based scalability to the MPEG-4 content. In addition, an optimal selection of the multiple streams for each object to meet a given constraint is proposed. The selection process is adopted a multiple choice knapsack problem with multi-step selection for the MPEG-4 objects with different scalability levels. The proposed algorithm enforces the optimal selection process to maintain the perceptual qualities of more important objects at the best effort. The experimental results show that the set of selected media stream for presenting objects meets a current transmission condition with more high perceptual quality.

Roundabouts have strengths in traffic flow and safety but can present difficulties for inexperienced drivers. Demand to acquire and analyze drone images has increased to enhance a traffic environment allowing drivers to deal with roundabouts easily. In this paper, we propose a roundabout traffic analysis system that detects, tracks, and analyzes vehicles using a deep learning-based object detection model (YOLOv7) in drone images. About 3600 images for object detection model learning and testing were extracted and labeled from 1 hour of drone video. Through training diverse conditions and evaluating the performance of object detection models, we achieved an average precision (AP) of up to 97.2%. In addition, we utilized SORT (Simple Online and Realtime Tracking) and OC-SORT (Observation-Centric SORT), a real-time object tracking algorithm, which resulted in an average MOTA (Multiple Object Tracking Accuracy) of up to 89.2%. By implementing a method for measuring roundabout entry speed, we achieved an accuracy of 94.5%.
