Light-weight salient foreground detection for embedded smart cameras

An embedded smart camera is a stand-alone unit that not only captures images, but also includes a processor, memory and communication interface. Battery-powered, embedded smart cameras introduce many additional challenges since they have very limited resources, such as energy, processing power and memory. Computer vision algorithms running on these camera boards should be light-weight and efficient. Considering the memory requirements of an algorithm and its portability to an embedded processor should be an integral part of the algorithm design in addition to the accuracy requirements. This paper presents a light-weight and efficient background modeling and foreground detection algorithm that is highly robust against lighting variations and non-static backgrounds including scenes with swaying trees, water fountains and rain. Compared to many traditional methods, the memory requirement for the data saved for each pixel is very small in the proposed algorithm. Moreover, the number of memory accesses and instructions are adaptive, and are decreased depending on the amount of activity in the scene. Each pixel is treated differently based on its history, and instead of requiring the same number of memory accesses and instructions for every pixel, we require less instructions for stable background pixels. The plot of the number of unstable pixels at each frame also serves as a tool to find the video portions with high activity. The proposed method selectively updates the background model with an automatically adaptive rate, thus can adapt to rapid changes. As opposed to traditional methods, pixels are not always treated individually, and information about neighbors is incorporated into decision making. The results obtained with nine challenging outdoor and indoor sequences are presented, and compared with the results of different state-of-the-art background subtraction methods. The ROC curves and memory comparison of different background subtraction methods are also provided. The experimental results demonstrate the success of the proposed light-weight salient foreground detection method.

A robust projector–camera interactive display system based on finger touch control by fusing finger and its shadow

A robust projector–camera interactive display system consisting of one camera and one projector is proposed, which enables users to interact with computer by touching on arbitrary surfaces with bare hand. The system utilizes the camera to recover 3D information of fingertip for touch detection. Firstly, predicted image generated from geometric and photometric calibration matrix is used to segment hand and its shadow. Secondly, fusion degree of the hand and its shadow is detected using linear‐scanning method. Finally, a square tracking mask is used to determine the touch action on the projection surface. Experimental results show that the proposed system is robust to different lighting conditions. The touch detection accuracy is 93.0% and the average processing time of each frame is 36 ms.     

Circular polarized dual‐band antenna for WLAN/Wi‐MAX application

A novel square ring printed antenna has been suggested for dual‐band circular polarization (CP). The geometry contains a square patch and a square ring structure for dual‐band operation. Circular polarization is achieved using triangular cut at the boundary and right angle bend with inner perturbation. The suggested antenna is excited from the lower layer through electromagnetic (EM) coupling technique. The antenna shows good impedance bandwidths of 90 MHz (2.43‐2.52 GHz) and 800 MHz (5.7‐6.5 GHz, respectively. The antenna shows 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth of 20 MHz at lower band and 120 MHz at upper band with improved gain > 6 dBi. The simulated and measured results are well agreed with each other. The antenna is promising wideband operation at the upper band. This antenna was implemented on fiberglass reinforcement laminated Arlon substrate with dielectric constant (?_r = 2.55), and the overall physical dimension of 30 × 30 × 3.048 mm³. The designed antenna can be extensibly applicable in WLAN/Wi‐MAX communication. The presented antenna is designed using hyperlynx IE3D and the simulated results are presented.     

Tri‐band composite cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna with hybrid mode excitation and cross‐polarization suppression

This communication investigates composite cylindrical dielectric resonator antenna (CDRA) for various wireless applications. Three important features of proposed antenna design are (i) realization of two different hybrid modes, that is, HEM_11δ and HEM_12δ mode in CDRA with the help of modified annular ring printed line (work as both magnetic dipole and electric dipole), both the hybrid modes support broadside radiation characteristics (ii) suppression of HEM_21δ mode, in order to reduce the cross‐polarization level in H‐plane of other hybrid modes (HEM_11δ and HEM_12δ mode) by an amount of 8‐10 dB (iii) creation of triple‐band attribute using the concept of composite antenna. The proposed antenna design has been fabricated and practically tested. Simulated outcomes show good agreement with measured outcomes. It works in three frequency bands, that is, 2.25‐2.79 GHz, 3.1‐4.0 GHz, and 5.05‐5.6 GHz. The designed antenna structure is appropriate for WLAN and WiMAX applications.     

Development of ergonomic posture recognition technique based on 2D ordinary camera for construction hazard prevention through view-invariant features in 2D skeleton motion

Outdoor tasks operated by construction workers are physically demanding, requiring awkward postures leading to pain, injury, accident, or permanent disability. Ergonomic posture recognition (EPR) technique could be a novel solution for ergonomic hazard monitoring and assessment, yet non-intrusiveness and applicability in complex outdoor environment are always critical considerations for device selection in construction site. Thus, we choose RGB camera to capture skeleton motions, which is non-intrusive for workers compared with wearable sensors. It is also stable and widely used in an outdoor construction site considering various light conditions and complex working areas. This study aims to develop an ergonomic posture recognition technique based on 2D ordinary camera for construction hazard prevention through view-invariant features in 2D skeleton motion. Based on captured 2D skeleton motion samples in the test-run, view-invariant features as classifier inputs were extracted to ensure the learned classifier not sensitive to various camera viewpoints and distances to a worker. Three posture classifiers regarding human back, arms, and legs were employed to ensure three postures to be recognized simultaneously in one video frame. The average accuracies of three classifiers in 5-fold cross validation were as high as 95.0%, 96.5%, and 97.6%, respectively, and the overall accuracies tested by three new activities regarding ergonomic assessment scores captured from different camera heights and viewpoints were 89.2%, 88.3%, and 87.6%, respectively. The developed EPR-aided construction accident auto-prevention technique demonstrated robust accuracy to support on-site postural ergonomic assessment for construction workers’ safety and health assurance.
