融合多线索的目标跟踪

提出把目标的表观信息和目标的运动信息融合起来跟踪的一种方法,使用直方图来描述目标的表观信息,用背景配准来检测目标的运动变化,把通过这两种信息分别获得的定位融合起来得到目标定位,然后采用扩展卡尔曼滤波,实现有效的目标跟踪。该方法克服了在目标较小时,使用表观信息跟踪不稳定的缺点。实验结果也证明了在目标被部分遮挡,目标在像平面由小到大过程都能够稳定跟踪。     

Object recognition by grasping

In this paper, we describe a method for recognizing both the three-dimensional pattern and the size of objects by grasping them with multijointed fingers equipped with tactile sensors. First, the bending data of the joint is sorted out by analyzing the distribution pattern of the sensors in contact. Then the appropriate pattern is determined by calculating the values of the several linear discriminant functions provided for each contact pattern. Classification of the size of an object is achieved by applying a linear machine with a maximum-value selector to the bending form of the joints. The results of the experiments show that the most useful discriminant function is a linear one. Its percentage of total correctness is highest for the pattern recognition of an object.

Object recognition by three-dimensional curve matching

Experimental results for the recognition of general curves in three-space using registered range and intensity images are presented. the matching algorithm uses fast Fourier transforms to determine the least-squares difference between sequences of points sampled at equal intervals along two piecewise linear approximations of curves in three-space and returns the rotation and translation required to bring one of the curves into closest juxtaposition with the other. Performance of the algorithm is demonstrated by matching curves in three-space which are the boundaries of regions of contrasting reflectivity on curved surfaces. the experiments use a recently developed range sensor which is able to generate a 512 × 460 × 12 bit range image (with registered intensity image) in 40 s.     

融合注意力机制和高效网络的糖尿病视网膜病变识别与分类

目的 糖尿病视网膜病变（diabetic retinopathy,DR）是一种病发率和致盲率都很高的糖尿病并发症。临床中,由于视网膜图像不同等级之间差异性小以及临床医生经验的不同,会出现误诊、漏诊等情况,目前基于人工DR的诊断分类性能差且耗时费力。基于此,本文提出一种融合注意力机制（attention mechanism）和高效率网络（high-efficiency network,EfficientNet）的DR影像自动分类识别方法,以此达到对病变类型的精确诊断。方法 针对实验中DR数据集存在的问题,进行剔除、去噪、扩增和归一化等处理;利用EfficientNet进行特征提取,采用迁移学习的策略用DR的数据集对EfficientNet进行学习与训练,提取深度特征。为了解决病变之间差异小的问题,防止网络对糖尿病视网膜图像的特征学习时出现错分等情况,在EfficientNet输出结果上加入注意力机制;根据网络提取的特征在深度分类器中进行分类,将视网膜图像按等级进行五分类。结果 本文方法的分类精度、敏感性、特异性和二次加权（kappa）值分别为97.2%、95.6%、98.7%和0.84,具有较好的分类性能及鲁棒性。结论 基于融合注意力机制的高效率网络（attention EfficientNet,A-EfficientNet）的DR分类算法有效地提高了DR筛查效率,解决了人工分类的手动提取特征的局限性,在临床上对医生诊断起到了辅助作用,能更有效地防治此类恶性眼疾造成严重视力损伤、甚至失明。     

Fuzzy system based human behavior recognition by combining behavior prediction and recognition

With the development of intelligent surveillance systems, human behavior recognition has been extensively researched. Most of the previous methods recognized human behavior based on spatial and temporal features from (current) input image sequences, without the behavior prediction from previously recognized behaviors. Considering an example of behavior prediction, “punching” is more probable in the current frame when the previous behavior is “standing” as compared to the previous behavior being “lying down.” Nevertheless, there has been little study regarding the combination of currently recognized behavior information with behavior prediction. Therefore, we propose a fuzzy system based behavior recognition technique by combining both behavior prediction and recognition. To perform behavior recognition during daytime and nighttime, a dual camera system of visible light and thermal (far infrared light) cameras is used to capture 12 datasets including 11 different human behaviors in various surveillance environments. Experimental results along with the collected datasets and open database showed that the proposed method achieved higher accuracy of behavior recognition when compared to conventional methods.     

Object recognition using shape-from-shading

Investigates whether surface topography information extracted from intensity images using a shape-from-shading (SFS) algorithm can be used for the purposes of 3D object recognition. We consider how curvature and shape-index information delivered by this algorithm can be used to recognize objects based on their surface topography. We explore two contrasting object recognition strategies. The first of these is based on a low-level attribute summary and uses histograms of curvature and orientation measurements. The second approach is based on the structural arrangement of constant shape-index maximal patches and their associated region attributes. We show that region curvedness and a string ordering of the regions according to size provides recognition accuracy of about 96 percent. By polling various recognition schemes, including a graph matching method, we show that a recognition rate of 98-99 percent is achievable     

Object delineation in noisy images by a modified policy-iterationmethod

The contours of isolated objects in noisy images may be detected with a minimal cost contour detection algorithm. An algorithm that is based on the policy-iteration method for locating the closed minimal cost path is introduced. Computational results indicate that it is computationally more efficient than the dynamic programming approach. The method is applied to left ventricular contours in scintigraphic images, although it is applicable to any domain where a closed minimal cost path is to be computed in a matrix of cost coefficients

Object recognition using discriminative parts

The existing object recognition methods can be classified into two categories: interest-point-based and discriminative-part-based. The interest-point-based methods do not perform well if the interest points cannot be selected very carefully. The performance of the discriminative-part-base methods is not stable if viewpoints change, because they select discriminative parts from the interest points. In addition, the discriminative-part-based methods often do not provide an incremental learning ability. To address these problems, we propose a novel method that consists of three phases. First, we use some sliding windows that are different in scale to retrieve a number of local parts from each model object and extract a feature vector for each local part retrieved. Next, we construct prototypes for the model objects by using the feature vectors obtained in the first phase. Each prototype represents a discriminative part of a model object. Then, we establish the correspondence between the local parts of a test object and those of the model objects. Finally, we compute the similarity between the test object and each model object, based on the correspondence established. The test object is recognized as the model object that has the highest similarity with the test object. The experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms or is comparable with the compared methods in terms of recognition rates on the COIL-100 dataset, Oxford buildings dataset and ETH-80 dataset, and recognizes all query images of the ZuBuD dataset. It is robust enough for distortion, occlusion, rotation, viewpoint and illumination change. In addition, we accelerate the recognition process using the C4.5 decision tree technique, and the proposed method has the ability to build prototypes incrementally.

Object recognition by spectral feature derived from canonical shape representation

In this paper, we introduce a new spectral shape feature that can be used in content-based object recognition. We explain a new canonical string representation for a polygonal shape approximation from which the proposed spectral feature is derived. This spectral feature is a composition of Fourier coefficients of the shape function that is derived from the canonical representation. We applied the proposed feature in classification of lung nodules by means of our hierarchical learning scheme proposed in another study. The results show that the spectral feature is promising for lung nodule recognition.     

Object recognition and articulated object learning by accumulative Hopfield matching

In this paper, a novel object recognition method based on attributed relational graph matching is proposed, which is called accumulative Hopfield matching. We first divide the scene graph into many sub-graphs, and a modified Hopfield network is then constructed to obtain the sub-graph isomorphism between each sub-scene graph and model graph. The final result is deduced by accumulating the solutions of all small sub-networks. Comparing to the traditional Hopfield network, the proposed system has the advantage of finding homomorphic mappings between two graphs. Furthermore, the system can be applied for articulated object recognition and visual model learning, which is considered as a difficult topic till now. The proposed method has been evaluated with real images.
