Detecting change in images with parallax
نویسنده
چکیده
The ability to detect significant change in images is reduced when there is parallax. Fixed objects above or below the ground plane displace from their true position by an amount that depends on their height and the look angle of the sensor, reducing background cancellation and limiting the effectiveness of change detection. A method for reducing the effect of parallax shifts using dynamic time warping (DTW) to align images along the epipolar direction is described. A performance model is developed for predicting the processing gain of change detection (CD) over single image object detection as a function of the parallax. The model is used to predict CD performance with, and without DTW. A 10x improvement in processing gain is demonstrated on optical imagery, which results in a significant reduction in the number of false alarms.

Regional Linear Warping for Image Stitching with Dominant Edge Extraction
Image stitching techniques produce an image with wide field-of-view by aligning multiple images with narrow field-of-view. While conventional algorithms successfully stitch images with small parallax, structure misalignment may occur when input images contain large parallax. This paper presents an image stitching algorithm which aligns images with large parallax by regional linear warping. To t...
متن کاملAn Image-Based System for Change Detection on Tunnel Linings
We present an automated system for detecting visual changes on tunnel linings. By registering new images to a three-dimensional tunnel surface model, recovered using Structure and Motion techniques, we are able to detect and localise changes accurately in order to assist visual inspection by a human expert. We formulate the problem of detecting changes probabilistically and exploit different fe...
متن کاملRemoval of Thin Cirrus Scattering Effects in Landsat 8 OLI Images Using the Cirrus Detecting Channel
Thin cirrus clouds frequently contaminate images acquired with either Landsat 7 ETM+ or the earlier generation of Landsat series satellite instruments. The situation has changed since the launch of the Landsat 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) into space in 2013. OLI implemented a cirrus detecting channel (Band 9) centered within a strong atmospheric water vapor absorption band near 1.375 μm with...
متن کاملA New Method for Detecting Ships in Low Size and Low Contrast Marine Images: Using Deep Stacked Extreme Learning Machines
Detecting ships in marine images is an essential problem in maritime surveillance systems. Although several types of deep neural networks have almost ubiquitously used for this purpose, but the performance of such networks greatly drops when they are exposed to low size and low contrast images which have been captured by passive monitoring systems. On the other hand factors such as sea waves, c...
متن کاملDetection of Copy-Move Forgery in Digital Images Using Scale Invariant Feature Transform Algorithm and the Spearman Relationship
Increased popularity of digital media and image editing software has led to the spread of multimedia content forgery for various purposes. Undoubtedly, law and forensic medicine experts require trustworthy and non-forged images to enforce rights. Copy-move forgery is the most common type of manipulation of digital images. Copy-move forgery is used to hide an area of the image or to repeat a por...
