It can be proved that the efficiency of similarity retrieval is improved by fingerprint group merging retrieval algorithm with lower similarity threshold. Experiments with the lower similarity threshold r=0.7 and high fingerprint bits k=400 demonstrate that the CPU time-consuming cost decreases from 1 921 s to 273 s. Theoretical analysis and experimental results verify the effectiveness of this method.展开更多

Amethod for real-time moving object detection is described. Anew background model is proposed to handle the illumination varition problem. With optical flow technology and background subtraction, a moving object is extracted quickly and accurately. An effective shadow elimination algorithm based on color features is used to refine the moving obj ects. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can update the background exactly and quickly along with the varition of illumination, and the shadow can be eliminated effectively. The proposed algorithm is a real-time one which the foundation for further object recognition and understanding of video mum＇toting systems.展开更多

However, current methods do not work well for low volume road, which is not well-marked and with noises such as vehicle tracks. A fusion-based method termed Dempster-Shafer-based road detection(DSRD) is proposed to address this issue. This method detects road boundary by combining multiple information sources using Dempster-Shafer theory(DST). In order to test the performance of the proposed method, two field experiments were conducted, one of which was on a highway partially covered by snow and another was on a dense traffic highway. The results show that DSRD is robust and accurate, whose detection rates are 100% and 99.8% compared with manual detection results. Then, DSRD is adopted to improve UAV video processing algorithm, and the vehicle detection and tracking rate are improved by 2.7% and 5.5%,respectively. Also, the computation time has decreased by 5% and 8.3% for two experiments, respectively.展开更多

At the lowest layer, low-level featuresincluding color, texture, edge, shape, and motion are extracted. High-level semantic events aredefined at the highest layer. In order to connect low-level features and high-level semantics, wedesign and define some semantic units at the intermediate layer. A semantic unit is composed of asequence of consecutives frames with the same cue that is deduced from low-level features. Based onsemantic units, a Bayesian network is used to reason the probabilities of events. The experiments forshoot and card event detection in soccer videos show that the proposed method has an encouragingperformance.展开更多

This system contained six modules: video flow capture, pre-processing, movement detection, shadow removal, tracking, and object classification. The Gaussian mixture model was utilized to extract the moving object from an image sequence segmented by the mean-shift technique in the pre-processing module. Shadow removal was used to alleviate the negative impact of the shadow to the detected objects. A model-free method was adopted to identify pedestrians. The maximum and minimum integration methods were developed to integrate multiple cues into the mean-shift algorithm and the initial tracking iteration with the competent integrated probability distribution map for object tracking. A simple but effective algorithm was proposed to handle full occlusion cases. The system was tested using real traffic videos from different sites. The results of the test confirm that the system is reliable and has an overall accuracy of over 85%.展开更多

Our method can be efficiently used to filter objectionable videos on Internet. One tensor based key-frame selection algorithm, one cube based color model and one objectionable video estimation algorithm are presented. The key frame selection is based on motion analysis using the three-dimensional structure tensor. Then the cube based color model is employed to detect skin color in each key frame. Finally, the video estimation algorithm is applied to estimate objectionable degree in videos. Experimental results on a variety of real-world videos downloaded from Internet show that this method is promising.展开更多
