A variational method for contour tracking via covariance matching

This paper presents a novel formulation for contour tracking.We model the second-order statistics of image regions and perform covariance matching under the variational level set framework.Specifically,covariance matrix is adopted as a visual object representation for partial differential equation(PDE) based contour tracking.Log-Euclidean calculus is used as a covariance distance metric instead of Euclidean distance which is unsuitable for measuring the similarities between covariance matrices,because the matrices typically lie on a non-Euclidean manifold.A novel image energy functional is formulated by minimizing the distance metric between the candidate object region and a given template,and maximizing the one between the background region and the template.The corresponding gradient flow is then derived according to a variational approach,enabling partial differential equations(PDEs) based contour tracking.Experiments on several challenging sequences prove the validity of the proposed method.

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.     

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).
