Reconfigurable Object Detection in FLIR Image Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the detection and extraction of moving objects in infrared image sequences. We describe the implementation of a system using a small "microsensor" package that balances computational loading between FPGA devices and a DSP chip. The system satisfies tight design constraints that are crucial for some surveillance applications, involving processing speed, power consumption, and physical size. The reconfigurable approach allows the same hardware to be used for other tasks. This paper describes the design and presents results that were obtained at real-time rates.

A Multi-Fractal Formalism for Stabilization, Object Detection and Tracking in Flir Sequences
I n this paper, we investigate the problem of stabilization, and detection and tracking of moving or stationary objects in a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sequence. A multifractal formalism is proposed f o r stabilization and activity detection and the method has been compared to three other classical techniques in image processing.
متن کاملBiologically inspired multilevel approach for multiple moving targets detection from airborne forward-looking infrared sequences.
In this paper, a biologically inspired multilevel approach for simultaneously detecting multiple independently moving targets from airborne forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sequences is proposed. Due to the moving platform, low contrast infrared images, and nonrepeatability of the target signature, moving targets detection from FLIR sequences is still an open problem. Avoiding six parameter affi...

متن کاملDetection of New Image Objects in Video Sequences Using Neural Networks
The detection of image segmented objects in video sequences is constrained by the a priori information available with a classifier. An object recogniser labels image regions based on texture and shape information about objects for which historical data is available. The introduction of a new object would culminate in its misclassification as the closest possible object known to the recogniser. ...
