چکیده

In Nuclear Safeguards, surveillance cameras monitor the correct processing of nuclear material. Nuclear inspectors are faced with tens of thousands of images to review, of which less than 1% is significant. The Safeguards authorized means of reducing the image set is, at present, a two-frame differencing change-detection filter. We further limit the set by tracking flasks thanks to the timing of events provided by image time-stamps. Traditional visual tracking cannot be applied, owing to the low frame rate, and the need for compatibility with the authorized change detection filter. Our algorithm is based on a hidden semi-Markov model of the nuclear process, and handles multiple flasks and observations available only when the flasks are moved. State occupancy durations are used when selecting the next image to review.

Face identification in videos from mobile cameras

It is still challenging to recognize faces reliably in videos from mobile camera, although mature automatic face recognition technology for still images has been available for quite some time. Suppose we want to be alerted when suspects appear in the recording of a police BodyCam, even a good face matcher on still images would give many false alarms due to the uncontrolled conditions. This pape...

Spectrum Sensing and Data Transmission in a Cognitive Relay Network Considering Spatial False Alarms

In this paper, the average probability of the symbol error rate (SER) and throughput are studied in the presence of joint spectrum sensing and data transmission in a cognitive relay network, which is in the environment of an optimal power allocation strategy. In this investigation, the main component in calculating the secondary throughput is the inclusion of the spatial false alarms, in additi...

Monocular Vehicle Detection and Tracking

This project implements a vehicle detection and tracking system. This framework uses Haar cascade classifier for vehicle detection, and uses car-light features for validation. In order to smooth the detection and refine the detection result further, Kalman tracking is applied to every car hypothesis, additionally, a three-stage tracking is employed. Experiment shows that the car-light validatio...

Improving multiple target tracking in structured environments using velocity priors

In this paper, we present an algorithm for determining a velocity probability distribution prior from low frame rate aerial video of an urban area, and show how this may be used to aid in the multiple target tracking problem, as well as to provide a foundation for the automated classification of urban transportation infrastructure. The algorithm used to develop the prior is based on using a gen...
