Adaptive shadow estimator for removing shadow of moving object

We propose an adaptive shadow estimator to detect and eliminate the shadow of a moving object while adapting to variation of illumination and the environment in an automatic manner. The proposed method discriminates between the shadow and the moving object by cascading three estimators which use the properties of chromaticity, brightness, and local intensity ratio. In the spatial adjustment step, the method compensates for accumulated errors in the cascading process. Experimental results show that our scheme can operate in real-time, outperforms existing methods, and rapidly adapts to variations in the environment.

Moving shadow detection and removal for traffic sequences

Segmentation of moving objects in a video sequence is a basic task for application of computer vision. However, shadows extracted along with the objects can result in large errors in object localization and recognition. In this paper, we propose a method of moving shadow detection based on edge information, which can effectively detect the cast shadow of a moving vehicle in a traffic scene. Having confirmed shadows existing in a figure, we execute the shadow removal algorithm proposed in this paper to segment the shadow from the foreground. The shadow eliminating algorithm removes the boundary of the cast shadow and preserves object edges firstly; secondly, it reconstructs coarse object shapes based on the edge information of objects; and finally, it extracts the cast shadow by subtracting the moving object from the change detection mask and performs further processing. The proposed method has been further tested on images taken under different shadow orientations, vehicle colors and vehicle sizes, and the results have revealed that shadows can be successfully eliminated and thus good video segmentation can be obtained.     

基于超像素和局部颜色恒常性的自适应阴影去除

为快速有效地去除监控视频中运动目标的投射阴影,提出了一种基于超像素和阴影区域的局部颜色恒常性的自适应阴影去除算法。首先采用改进的简单线性迭代聚类算法将视频图像中的运动前景分割为互不重叠的超像素;然后计算了RGB颜色空间中背景与运动前景的亮度比率,并分析了阴影区域的局部颜色恒常性;在此基础上,以超像素为基本处理单元,计算亮度比率的标准差,并利用阴影区域标准差的特征及其分布规律提出基于拐点的自适应阈值算法检测并去除阴影。实验结果表明,该算法可以适用于多种真实场景下的阴影检测,且阴影检测率与目标识别率均超过85%;基于超像素处理可以大幅度降低算法的计算复杂度,该算法每帧平均处理时间为20 ms。该算法可以同时满足阴影去除对准确度、实时性和鲁棒性的要求。

Physical models for moving shadow and object detection in video

Current moving object detection systems typically detect shadows cast by the moving object as part of the moving object. In this paper, the problem of separating moving cast shadows from the moving objects in an outdoor environment is addressed. Unlike previous work, we present an approach that does not rely on any geometrical assumptions such as camera location and ground surface/object geometry. The approach is based on a new spatio-temporal albedo test and dichromatic reflection model and accounts for both the sun and the sky illuminations. Results are presented for several video sequences representing a variety of ground materials when the shadows are cast on different surface types. These results show that our approach is robust to widely different background and foreground materials, and illuminations.

Adaptive semi-supervised learning on labeled and unlabeled data with different distributions

Developing methods for designing good classifiers from labeled samples whose distribution is different from that of test samples is an important and challenging research issue in the fields of machine learning and its application. This paper focuses on designing semi-supervised classifiers with a high generalization ability by using unlabeled samples drawn by the same distribution as the test samples and presents a semi-supervised learning method based on a hybrid discriminative and generative model. Although JESS-CM is one of the most successful semi-supervised classifier design frameworks based on a hybrid approach, it has an overfitting problem in the task setting that we consider in this paper. We propose an objective function that utilizes both labeled and unlabeled samples for the discriminative training of hybrid classifiers and then expect the objective function to mitigate the overfitting problem. We show the effect of the objective function by theoretical analysis and empirical evaluation. Our experimental results for text classification using four typical benchmark test collections confirmed that with our task setting in most cases, the proposed method outperformed the JESS-CM framework. We also confirmed experimentally that the proposed method was useful for obtaining better performance when classifying data samples into either known or unknown classes, which were included in given labeled samples or not, respectively.

Online web video topic detection and tracking with semi-supervised learning

With the pervasiveness of online social media and rapid growth of web data, a large amount of multi-media data is available online. However, how to organize them for facilitating users’ experience and government supervision remains a problem yet to be seriously investigated. Topic detection and tracking, which has been a hot research topic for decades, could cluster web videos into different topics according to their semantic content. However, how to online discover topic and track them from web videos and images has not been fully discussed. In this paper, we formulate topic detection and tracking as an online tracking, detection and learning problem. First, by learning from historical data including labeled data and plenty of unlabeled data using semi-supervised multi-class multi-feature method, we obtain a topic tracker which could also discover novel topics from the new stream data. Second, when new data arrives, an online updating method is developed to make topic tracker adaptable to the evolution of the stream data. We conduct experiments on public dataset to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and the results demonstrate its effectiveness for topic detection and tracking.
