[PDF] Automatic Image Co-segmentation Using Geometric Mean Saliency (Top 10% ...Koteswar Rao Jerripothula
Most existing high-performance co-segmentation algorithms are usually complicated due to the way of co-labelling a set of images and the requirement to handle quite a few parameters for effective co-segmentation. In this paper, instead of relying on the complex process of co-labelling multiple images, we perform segmentation on individual images but based on a combined saliency map that is obtained by fusing single-image saliency maps of a group of similar images. Particularly, a new multiple image based saliency map extraction, namely geometric mean saliency (GMS) method, is proposed to obtain the global saliency maps. In GMS, we transmit the saliency information among the images using the warping technique. Experiments show that our method is able to outperform state-of-the-art methods on three benchmark co-segmentation datasets.
MULTIPLE REGION OF INTEREST TRACKING OF NON-RIGID OBJECTS USING DEMON'S ALGOR...cscpconf
In this paper we propose an algorithm for tracking multiple ROI (region of interest) undergoing non-rigid transformations. Demon's algorithm based on the idea of Maxwell's demon, has been applied here to estimate the displacement field for tracking of multiple ROI. This algorithm works on pixel intensities of the sequence of images thus making it suitable for tracking objects/regions undergoing non-rigid transformations. We have incorporated a pyramid-based approach for demon's algorithm computations of displacement field, which leads to significant reduction in the convergence speed and improvement in the accuracy. This algorithm is applied for tracking non-rigid objects in laproscopy videos which would aid surgeons in Minimal Invasive Surgery (MIS).

Each technological age has been marked by a shift in how the industrial platform enables companies to rethink their business processes and create wealth. In the talk I argue that we are limiting our view of what this next industrial/digital age can offer because of how we read, measure and through that perceive the world (how we cherry pick data). Companies are locked in metrics and quantitative measures, data that can fit into a spreadsheet. And by that they see the digital transformation merely as an efficiency tool to the fossil fuel age.

Dense Visual Odometry Using Genetic AlgorithmSlimane Djema
Our work aims to estimate the camera motion mounted on the head of a mobile robot or a moving object from RGB-D images in a static scene. The problem of motion estimation is transformed into a nonlinear least squares function. Methods for solving such problems are iterative. Various classic methods gave an iterative solution by linearizing this function. We can also use the metaheuristic optimization method to solve this problem and improve results. In this paper, a new algorithm is developed for visual odometry using a sequence of RGB-D images. This algorithm is based on a genetic algorithm. The proposed iterative genetic algorithm searches using particles to estimate the optimal motion and then compares it to the traditional methods. To evaluate our method, we use the root mean square error to compare it with the based energy method and another metaheuristic method. We prove the efficiency of our innovative algorithm on a large set of images.
Efficient 3D stereo vision stabilization for multi-camera viewpointsjournalBEEI
In this paper, an algorithm is developed in 3D Stereo vision to improve image stabilization process for multi-camera viewpoints. Finding accurate unique matching key-points using Harris Laplace corner detection method for different photometric changes and geometric transformation in images. Then improved the connectivity of correct matching pairs by minimizing
the global error using spanning tree algorithm. Tree algorithm helps to stabilize randomly positioned camera viewpoints in linear order. The unique matching key-points will be calculated only once with our method.
Then calculated planar transformation will be applied for real time video rendering. The proposed algorithm can process more than 200 camera viewpoints within two seconds.
APPLYING R-SPATIOGRAM IN OBJECT TRACKING FOR OCCLUSION HANDLINGsipij
Object tracking is one of the most important problems in computer vision. The aim of video tracking is to extract the trajectories of a target or object of interest, i.e. accurately locate a moving target in a video sequence and discriminate target from non-targets in the feature space of the sequence. So, feature descriptors can have significant effects on such discrimination. In this paper, we use the basic idea of many trackers which consists of three main components of the reference model, i.e., object modeling, object detection and localization, and model updating. However, there are major improvements in our system. Our forth component, occlusion handling, utilizes the r-spatiogram to detect the best target candidate. While spatiogram contains some moments upon the coordinates of the pixels, r-spatiogram computes region-based compactness on the distribution of the given feature in the image that captures richer features to represent the objects. The proposed research develops an efficient and robust way to keep tracking the object throughout video sequences in the presence of significant appearance variations and severe occlusions. The proposed method is evaluated on the Princeton RGBD tracking dataset considering sequences with different challenges and the obtained results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Implementation of Object Tracking for Real Time VideoIDES Editor
Real-time tracking of object boundaries is an
important task in many vision applications. Here we propose
an approach to implement the level set method. This approach
does not need to solve any partial differential equations (PDFs),
thus reducing the computation dramatically compared with
optimized narrow band techniques proposed before. With our
approach, real-time level-set based video tracking can be
achieved.

Leader Follower Formation Control of Ground Vehicles Using Dynamic Pixel Coun...ijma
This paper deals with leader-follower formations of non-holonomic mobile robots, introducing a formation
control strategy based on pixel counts using a commercial grade electro optics camera. Localization of the
leader for motions along line of sight as well as the obliquely inclined directions are considered based on
pixel variation of the images by referencing to two arbitrarily designated positions in the image frames.
Based on an established relationship between the displacement of the camera movement along the viewing
direction and the difference in pixel counts between reference points in the images, the range and the angle
estimate between the follower camera and the leader is calculated. The Inverse Perspective Transform is
used to account for non linear relationship between the height of vehicle in a forward facing image and its
distance from the camera. The formulation is validated with experiments.

algorithm achieves PSNR close to that of Exhaustive Search at less computation time than
that of Exhaustive Search. The algorithms that are evaluated in this paper are widely used

distance between 0 and 1, we compute[8,9]

.1.4. Regions tracking
In order to track the regions between two
successive GOF, we compare their segmentation
maps. Exactly the segmentation map of the previous
GOF, is first compensated using all of the motion
information (global motion, motion vectors of its
objects). Next we compare the labels of the regions
in the previous and in the current GOF. A metric
based on the color, the texture, and the recovery
between the regions, is used. For the color, and the
texture, we adapt the Bhattacharyya . A region of the
current GOF takes the label of the closest region of
the previous GOF (if their distance is small
enough).The compensated map of the previous GOF
is used to improve the current map through the
potential function:
𝑣 𝑐𝑡 = 𝛽 𝑡 𝑖𝑓 𝑒 𝑠 (𝑡) ≠ 𝑒 𝑠 (𝑡 − 1)
𝑣 𝑐𝑡 = −𝛽 𝑡 𝑖𝑓 𝑒 𝑠 𝑡 = 𝑒 𝑠 (𝑡 − 1)
With 𝛽 𝑡 > 0, and where 𝑒 𝑠 (t), and 𝑒 𝑠 (t-1)
are respectively the labels of the site for the current,
and the motion compensated previous GOF. Here C
is the set of temporal second order cliques. Each
clique corresponds to a pair of adjacent tubes
between the previous and the current GOF:
𝑤5 (𝑒 𝑠 (𝑡))= 𝑐 𝑡 𝑣 𝑐 (𝑒 𝑠 𝑡 , 𝑒 𝑠 (𝑡 − 1))
Where 𝑐 𝑡 is the set of all the temporal
cliques of S. Inside a GOF, when the motions of the
potential objects are very similar, the motion-based
segmentation failed to detect them. In this case, the
initial segmentation map for our pillar segmentation
model contains no information, hence, we use the
motion compensated map from the previous GOF as
initialization for our MRF segmentation model. This
process allows to keep consistency for video objects
tracking through the sequence GOF[8,9].

Motion features
Inside a GOF, the main criterion for the
segmentation is often the motion: for a given region,
the motion vectors of its tubes should have close
values. Therefore we want to associate energy to
assess the difference between the motion of a tube
and the motion of a region. So the motion vector Fig5.tracking object in area
associated to a peak is also the estimated motion of
the region in the GOF. The distance between the Experimental result:
