چکیده

We propose a novel tracking method that uses a network of independent particle filter trackers whose interactions are modeled using coalitional game theory. Our tracking method is general; it maintains pixel-level accuracy, and can negotiate surface deformations and occlusions. We tested our method in a substantial video set featuring nontrivial motion from over 40 objects in both the infrared and vi sual spectra. The coalitional tracker demonstrated fault-tolerant behavior that far exceeds the performance of single-particle filter trackers. Our method represents a shift from the typical tracking paradigms and may find application in demanding imaging problems across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Thermal Imaging in Face Recognition and Deception Detection

Face recognition is a wide area having many techniques to achieve the same. The aim of the paper is to introduce Thermal Imaging and to study how it can be used for facial recognition and also for deception detection. This paper looks into the single modal and multi modal face recognition techniques involving infrared (IR) imaging. It then moves to analyze facial variations to study deception u...

A Hybrid System for On-line Blink Detection

Automatic non-obtrusive deception detection is highly desirable because of its objectivity, accuracy and reliability. Eye blinking has been shown to be one of the informative nonverbal behavioural cues for solving this problem. Traditional blink recognition methods tend to use a tracker to extract static eye region images and classify those images as open and closed eyes to detect blinks. Howev...

A Multimodal Dataset for Deception Detection

This paper presents the construction of a multimodal dataset for deception detection, including physiological, thermal, and visual responses of human subjects under three deceptive scenarios. We present the experimental protocol, as well as the data acquisition process. To evaluate the usefulness of the dataset for the task of deception detection, we present a statistical analysis of the physio...

Pedestrian Detection and Tracking from Low-Resolution Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Thermal Imagery

Driven by the prominent thermal signature of humans and following the growing availability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more and more research efforts have been focusing on the detection and tracking of pedestrians using thermal infrared images recorded from UAVs. However, pedestrian detection and tracking from the thermal images obtained from UAVs pose many challenges due to the low-res...

Object Detection and Tracking in Wide Area Surveillance Using Thermal Imagery

The main objective behind this thesis is to examine how existing vision-based detection and tracking algorithms perform in thermal imagery-based video surveillance. While color-based surveillance has been extensively studied, these techniques can not be used during low illumination, at night, or with lighting changes and shadows which limits their applicability. The main contributions in this t...
