Pedestrian Shape Extraction by Means of Active Contours
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article presents a shape extraction and results of a preliminary validation stage for a pedestrian detection system based on the use of active contours. The complete system is based on the use of both far infrared and visible cameras to detect areas that potentially contain pedestrians; in order to validate and filter such result a refinement of the human shape by means of active contours is performed followed by a neural network based filtering.

Pedestrian Validation in Infrared Images by Means of Active Contours and Neural Networks
This paper presents two different modules for the validation of human shape presence in far-infrared images. These modules are part of a more complex system aimed at the detection of pedestrians by means of the simultaneous use of two stereo vision systems in both far-infrared and daylight domains. The first module detects the presence of a human shape in a list of areas of attention using acti...
متن کاملHuman Shape Recognition from Snakes using Neural Networks
This paper documents experiments which have been carried out with several neural network systems designed to categorise pedestrian shapes from non-pedestrian shapes. Active Contour models (‘Snakes’) [1] have been used to obtain contours of pedestrians as they move around the visual field. Neural networks have then been trained on representations of these relaxed snakes. The neural network syste...
متن کاملAerial and Satellite Image Segmentation Based on Shape- Constrained Geodesic Active Contours
In this paper, we propose a novel mathematical model to address segmentation from an aerial and satellite imagery. Segmentation is performed through the consistent recovery of the zero iso-surfaces of a level set function towards image’s foreground (desired object for extraction) and background discrimination. The level set method is embedded in a geodesic active contours variational formulatio...
متن کاملA Bayesian Approach to Image-Based Visual Hull Reconstruction
We present a Bayesian approach to image-based visual hull reconstruction. The 3-D shape of an object of a known class is represented by sets of silhouette views simultaneously observed from multiple cameras. We show how the use of a class-specific prior in a visual hull reconstruction can reduce the effect of segmentation errors from the silhouette extraction process. In our representation, 3-D...
متن کاملA Statistical Image-Based Shape Model for Visual Hull Reconstruction and 3D Structure Inference
We present a statistical image-based “shape + structure” model for Bayesian visual hull reconstruction and 3D structure inference. The 3D shape of a class of objects is represented by sets of contours from silhouette views simultaneously observed from multiple calibrated cameras. Bayesian reconstructions of new shapes are then estimated using a prior density constructed with a mixture model and...
