A Multi-scale Feature Likelihood Map for Direct Evaluation of Object Hypotheses
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper develops and investigates a new approach for evaluating feature based object hypotheses in a direct way. The idea is to compute a feature likelihood map (FLM), which is a function normalized to the interval [0, 1], and which approximates the likelihood of image features at all points in scale-space. In our case, the FLM is defined from Gaussian derivative operators and in such a way that it assumes its strongest responses near the centers of symmetric blob-like or elongated ridge-like structures and at scales that reflect the size of these structures in the image domain. While the FLM inherits several advantages of feature based image representations, it also (i) avoids the need for explicit search when matching features in object models to image data, and (ii) eliminates the need for thresholds present in most traditional feature based approaches. In an application presented in this paper, the FLM is applied to simultaneous tracking and recognition of hand models based on particle filtering. The experiments demonstrate the feasibility of the approach, and that real time performance can be obtained by a pyramid implementation of the proposed concept.

In this research, two techniques of pixel-based and object-based image analysis were investigated and compared for providing land use map in arid basin of Mokhtaran, Birjand. Using Landsat satellite imagery in 2015, the classification of land use was performed with three object-based algorithms of supervised fuzzy-maximum likelihood, maximum likelihood, and K-nearest neighbor. Nine combinations...

According to the cities expansion, updating urban maps for urban planning is important and its effectiveness is depend on the information extraction / change detection accuracy. Information extraction methods are divided into two groups, including Pixel-Based (PB) and Object-Based (OB). OB analysis has overcome the limitations of PB analysis (producing salt-pepper results and features with hole...
متن کاملADAPTIVE SCALE ROBUST FEATURE DENSITY APPROXIMATION FOR VISUAL OBJECT REPRESENTATION AND TRACKING Preparation of Camera-Ready Contributions to INSTICC Proceedings
Feature density approximation (FDA) based visual object appearance representation is emerging as an effective method for object tracking, but its challenges come from object’s complex motion (e.g. scaling, rotation) and the consequent object’s appearance variation. The traditional adaptive FDA methods extract features in fixed scales ignoring the object’s scale variation, and update FDA by sequ...
