Classification of Local Structures in Airborne Thermal Videos for Vehicle Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper airborne thermal videos are used to detect vehicles. The movement of the camera is estimated from the optical flow using projective planar homographies as transformation model. A three level classification process is proposed: On the first level the eigenvalues of the squared averaged gradient are used to extract interest locations that can be put into correspondence with other such locations in subsequent frames of the video. These are subject to the second finer level of classification. Here we distinguish four classes: 1. Vehicles cues; 2. L-junctions and other proper fixed structure 3. T-junctions and other risky fixed structure. 4. A rejection class containing all other locations. This classification is based on local features in the single images namely Fourier coefficients. Only structures from the L-junctions class are traced as correspondences through subsequent frames. Based on these the global optical flow is estimated that is caused by the platform movement. The flow is restricted to planar projective homographies. This opens the way for the third classification. The vehicle class is refined using motion as feature. Inconsistency with the estimated flow is a strong evidence for movement in the scene.

Over the past decades, urban growth has been known as a worldwide phenomenon that includes widening process and expanding pattern. While the cities are changing rapidly, their quantitative analysis as well as decision making in urban planning can benefit from two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) digital models. The recent developments in imaging and non-imaging sensor technologies, s...
متن کاملAn approach to Detect Automatic Vehicle System for Aerial Surveillance
In this paper we proposed an Automatic Vehicle detection system for aerial surveillance. In this system, a pixel wise classification approach for vehicle detection is proposed. From the surviving framework of vehicle detection in aerial surveillance, classifications based on region and sliding window are escaped. Since the main disadvantage is that a vehicle tends to be divided as different reg...
متن کاملGood Sample Consensus Estimation of 2d-homographies for Vehicle Movement Detection from Thermal Videos
In this contribution we describe a method to assess the activity of vehicles based on airborne image sequences taken by an infrared camera. Active vehicles often appear as a configuration of a dark and a bright spot close to each other. The sensor movement is inferred from image sequences. Due to the fast velocity of the platform estimations of vehicle movements require a precise measurement of...
