چکیده

Using color for visual recognition outdoors has proven to be a difficult problem, chiefly due to varying illumination. Attempts to classify pixels or image patches in outdoor scenes based on their RGB values often fail, partly because of the inadequacy of the feature set, but partly because of color shifts due to changes in illumination are not well modeled as random noise. Approaches which attempt to recover the Òtrue colorÓ of objects by calculating the color of the incident light (i.e. color-constancy approaches) appear to work in constrained environments, but are not yet applicable to outdoor scenes. We present a technique that uses training images of an object under daylight to learn the shift in color of an object. Our method uses multivariate decision trees for piecewise linear approximation of the region corresponding to the object's appearance in color space. We then classify pixels in outdoor scenes depending on whether they fall within this region, and group clusters of target pixels into regions of interest (ROIs) for a model-based RSTA system. The techniques presented are demonstrated on a challenging task: detecting camouflaged vehicles in outdoor scenes.

آشکارسازی پویای پوست با استفاده از ادغام ویژگی‌های مبتنی بر هیستوگرام دو بعدی

This paper presents a dynamic approach to Skin Detection- to separate the skin pixels from non-skin pixels- in colored images. The static methods which use a fixed skin color model, will fail if there are illumination variations or different skin colors in an image. Because of contextual information the proposed algorithm will be less sensitive to the uncontrolled illumination conditions. In ad...

Single Image De-haze under Non-uniform Illumination Using Bright Channel Prior

Recent single image de-haze approaches assume the atmospheric light is the only illumination in one haze image and use a globally constant to image de-haze. However, every local pixels in an outdoor image is actually under the influence of non-uniform illumination in real world. The accuracy of the environmental illumination estimation has a great influence on the result, so the traditional haz...

Illumination Invariant Outdoor Perception

Rishi Ramakrishnan Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sydney September 2015 Illumination Invariant Outdoor Perception This thesis proposes the use of a multi-modal sensor approach to achieve illumination invariance in images taken in outdoor environments. The approach is automatic in that it does not require user input for initialisation, and is not reliant on the input of atmospheric radia...

Robust Face Recognition Technique under Varying Illumination

Face recognition is one of a complex biometrics in the field of pattern recognition due to the constraints imposed by variation in the appearance of facial images. These changes in appearance are affected by variation in illumination, expression or occlusions etc. Illumination can be considered a complex problem in both indoor and outdoor pattern matching. Literature studies have revealed that ...
