A New Pedestrian Detection Descriptor Based on the Use of Spatial Recurrences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent work on pedestrian detection has relied on the concept of local co-occurences of features to propose higher-order, richer descriptors. While this idea has proven to be benefitial for this detection task, it fails to properly account for a more general and/or holistic representation. In this paper, a novel, flexible, and modular descriptor is proposed which is based on the alternative concept of visual recurrence and, in particular, on a mathematically sound tool, the recurrence plot. The experimental work conducted provides evidence on the discriminatory power of the descriptor, with results comparable to recent similar approaches. Furthermore, since its degree of locality, its visual compactness, and the pair-wise feature similarity can be easily changed, it holds promise to account for characterizations of other descriptors, as well as for a range of accuracy-computational trade-offs for pedestrian detection and, possibly, also for other object detection problems.

GPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor
Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...

Observation in absolute darkness and daytime under every atmospheric situation is one of the advantages of thermal imaging systems. In spite of increasing trend of using these systems, there are still lots of difficulties in analysing thermal images due to the variable features of pedestrians and atmospheric situations. In this paper an efficient method is proposed for detecting pedestrians in ...

Sense of security is one of the basic human needs and the most influential social components of urban life. Perhaps it can be the most important factor in promoting or hindering walking in cities. In other words, if the neighborhoods of a city have a good level of security, the presents of pedestrians can be seen in local streets even in the late night hours. In this regard and to the answer to...
متن کاملPersian sign language detection based on normalized depth image information
There are many reports of using the Kinect to detect hand and finger gestures after release of device by Microsoft. The depth information is mostly used to separate the hand image in the two-dimension of RGB domain. This paper proposes a method in which the depth information plays a more dominant role. Using a threshold in depth space first the hand template is extracted. Then in 3D domain the ...
