چکیده

The range and physical size of an object may be determined from a sequence of image size measurements as an object is approached. The inverse image size is linear with the distance travelled by the camera. A recursive (Kalman) estimator is used to give the object range and size. Results are presented for an example image sequence.

A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO REAL-TIME DYNAMIC BACKGROUND GENERATION BASED ON A TEMPORAL MEDIAN FILTER

In many computer vision applications, segmenting and extraction of moving objects in video sequences is an essential task. Background subtraction, by which each input image is subtracted from the reference image, has often been used for this purpose. In this paper, we offer a novel background-subtraction technique for real-time dynamic background generation using color images that are taken fro...

Range and Velocity Estimation of Objects at Long Ranges Using Multiocular Video Sequences

Automatic warning systems for protection against airborne threats require a high detection probability at long ranges. Infrared Search and Track (IRST) systems which are designed as monocular and passive systems are able to fulfil this requirement. However, due to clutter and distortions by other objects, like birds or clouds, these systems do not achieve the required low false alarm rate. For ...

تشخیص عابر پیاده با استفاده از کلاس بندهای SVM و هیستوگرام در توالی تصاویر مادون قرمز

Abstract In dark environments and foggy or smoky conditions where it is not possible to use eyesight and usual binoculars to detect human from other objects, the best solution is to use infrared images. This paper presents a robust method to recognize pedestrians in infrared image sequences. For this purpose, combination of SVM and histogram classifiers has been used. A pre-processing phase ext...

تحلیل حرکت جریانات دریائی در تصاویر حرارتی سطح آب دریا

Oceanographic images obtained from environmental satellites by a wide range of sensors allow characterizing natural phenomena through different physical measurements. For instance Sea Surface Temperature (SST) images, altimetry data and ocean color data can be used for characterizing currents and vortex structures in the ocean. The purpose of this thesis is to derive a relatively complete frame...

A Modified Proportional Navigation Guidance for Range Estimation

In this paper, after defining pure proportional navigation guidance in the 3-dimensional state from a new point of view, range estimation for passive homing missiles isexplained. Modeling has been performed by using line of sight coordinates with a particulardefinition. To obtain convergent estimates of those state variables involved particularly inrange channel and unavailable from IR trackers...
