Environmental Perception with Spatial Regularization Correlation Filter for Visual Tracking

With the introduction of correlation filtering (CF), the performance of visual object tracking is significantly improved. Circular shifts collecting samples is a key component of the CF tracker, and it also causes negative boundary effects. Most trackers add spatial regularization to alleviate boundary effects well. However, these trackers ignore the effect of environmental changes on tracking performance, and the filter discriminates poorly in the background interference. Here, to break these limitations, we propose a new correlation filter model, namely Environmental Perception with Spatial Regularization Correlation Filter for Visual Tracking. Specifically, we use the Average Peak to Correlation Energy (APCE) and the response value error between the two frames together to perceive environmental changes, which adjusts the learning rate to make the template more adaptable to environmental changes. To enhance the discriminatory capability of the filter, we use real background information as negative samples to train the filter model. In addition, the introduction of the regular term destroys the closed solution of CF, and this problem can be effectively solved by the use of the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Extensive experimental evaluations on three large tracking benchmarks are performed, which demonstrate the good performance of the proposed method over some of the state-of-the-art trackers.     

深度学习在视频对象分割中的应用与展望

视频对象分割是指在给定的一段视频序列的各帧图像中,找出属于特定前景对象的所有像素点位置区域.随着硬件平台计算能力的提升,深度学习受到了越来越多的关注,在视频对象分割领域也取得了一定的进展.本文首先介绍了视频对象分割的主要任务,并总结了该任务所面临的挑战.其次,对开放的视频对象分割常用数据集进行了简要概述,并介绍了通用的性能评估标准.接着,综述了视频对象分割的研究现状,详细地分析了当前的各种方法,并将它们划分为三大类:半监督的方法,即给出视频第一帧图像中感兴趣对象的详细人工真值标注,分割出视频剩余图像中的感兴趣对象;无监督的方法,即不给任何人工标注信息,自动识别并分割出视频中的前景对象;交互式的方法,即在分割过程中,通过人工交互式的参与,结合粗略的人工标注先验信息,进行视频对象分割.第三类方法的条件相当于前两者的折中:相对于第一类方法,它虽然需要人工的参与,但只需要少量的标注工作量;相对于第二类方法,它给视频序列中某些帧的图像适当地添加了一些人工标注信息,从而更具针对性.最后,对深度学习在视频对象分割任务中的应用,进行了总结和展望.     

Selection of optimized features for fusion of palm print and finger knuckle‐based person authentication

The impact of digital technology in biometrics is much more efficient at interpreting data than humans, which results in completely replacement of manual identification procedures in forensic science. Because the single modality‐based biometric frameworks limit performance in terms of accuracy and anti‐spoofing capabilities due to the presence of low quality data, therefore, information fusion of more than one biometric characteristic in pursuit of high recognition results can be beneficial. In this article, we present a multimodal biometric system based on information fusion of palm print and finger knuckle traits, which are least associated to any criminal investigation as evidence yet. The proposed multimodal biometric system might be useful to identify the suspects in case of physical beating or kidnapping and establish supportive scientific evidences, when no fingerprint or face information is present in photographs. The first step in our work is data preprocessing, in which region of interest of palm and finger knuckle images have been extracted. To minimize nonuniform illumination effects, we first normalize the detected circular palm or finger knuckle and then apply line ordinal pattern (LOP)‐based encoding scheme for texture enrichment. The nondecimated quaternion wavelet provides denser feature representation at multiple scales and orientations when extracted over proposed LOP encoding and increases the discrimination power of line and ridge features. To best of our knowledge, this first attempt is a combination of backtracking search algorithm and 2D²LDA has been employed to select the dominant palm and knuckle features for classification. The classifiers output for two modalities are combined at unsupervised rank level fusion rule through Borda count method, which shows an increase in performance in terms of recognition and verification, that is, 100% (correct recognition rate), 0.26% (equal error rate), 3.52 (discriminative index), and 1,262 m (speed).
