چکیده

In this paper, a procedure is described for the spatiotemporal segmentation and tracking of objects in colour image sequences. For this purpose, we propose the novel procedure of K-Means with connectivity constraint algorithm as a general segmentation algorithm combining several types of information including colour, motion and compactness. A new colour distance is also defined for this algorithm. The regularisation parameters are evaluated automatically using the min-max criterion. In this algorithm, the use of spatiotemporal regions is introduced since a number of frames is analyzed simultaneously and as a result the same region is present in consequent frames. Experimental results on real and synthetic colour data demonstrate the performance of the data.

Effect of Historical Buildings Representation in Cyberspace in Creating Tourists’ Destination Image (Qualitative Study of Traditional Accommodations in Kashan)

Introduction: Understanding the representation components of the historical buildings in cyberspace and their impact on the mental image of the tourists is a significant fact in tourism recognition and management. A part of this subject is the impact of place representation on the destination image of the tourist. In this research, the destination is traditional accommodations that attract tour...

Combining spatial and colour information for content based image retrieval

Colour is one of the most important features in content based image retrieval. However, colour is rarely used as a feature that codes local spatial information, except for colour texture. This paper presents an approach to represent spatial colour distributions using local principal component analysis (PCA). The representation is based on image windows which are selected by two complementary da...

Embedded colour image coding for content-based retrieval

We present an image coding method explicitly designed for easy content access, i.e., content-based image retrieval. Based on a number of well-studied conventional image coding methods, namely segmentation-based image coding (SBIC), vector quantization (VQ), and a recently developed coloured pattern appearance model (CPAM), we have developed an image coding method with a compressed stream from w...

Image Classification via Sparse Representation and Subspace Alignment

Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...

Indexing chromatic and achromatic patterns for content-based colour image retrieval

In this paper, we present a method to represent achromatic and chromatic image signals independently for content-based image indexing and retrieval for image database applications. Starting from an opponent colour representation, human colour vision theories and modern digital signal processing technologies are applied to develop a compact and computationally e-cient visual appearance model for...
