Three dimensional object extraction and recognition (OER) from LIDAR data has been an area of major interest in photogrammetry for quite a long time. However, most of the existing methods for automatic object extraction and recognition from LIDAR data are just based on the range information and employ parametric methods and object’s vagueness behaviour is basically neglected. Thus, these methods do not take into account the extraction and recognition complexities and may fail to reach a satisfied reliability level in complex situations. In this paper a novel approach based on the following strategies is formulated and implemented: (a) for a more comprehensive definition of the objects, information fusion concept is utilized, i.e., object’s descriptive components such as 3D structural and textural (ST) information are automatically extracted from first/last rang and intensity information of LIDAR data and simultaneously fed into the evaluation process, (b) for a more realistic expres...

Nowadays, remotely sensed images are used for various purposes in different applications. One of them is the cadastral application using high resolution satellite imagery. In this context, a comparison of extraction results from these images and existing vector data is the most important issue. The goal here is to show the advantages and disadvantages of the QuickBird and IKONOS imagery for making cadastral maps. In this study, high resolution IKONOS and QuickBird images of rural and urban test areas in Zonguldak and Bartın have been chosen. Firstly, pan-sharpened IKONOS and QuickBird images have been produced by fusion of high resolution PAN and MS images using PCI Geomatica v9.1 software package. The parcel, building and road network objects from these datasets have been extracted automatically by initially dividing it into segments and then being classified by using the spectral, spatial and contextual information in eCognition v4.0.6 software package. On the other hand, these ob...

We present a gait recognition system using infra-red (IR) images. Since an IR camera is not affected by the intensity of illumination, it is able to provide constant recognition performance regardless of the amount of illumination. Model-based object tracking algorithms enable robust tracking with partial occlusions or dynamic illumination. However, this algorithm often fails in tracking objects if strong edge exists near the object. Replacement of the input image by an IR image guarantees robust object region extraction because background edges do not affect the IR image. In conclusion, the proposed gait recognition algorithm improves accuracy in object extraction by using IR images and the improvements finally increase the recognition rate of gaits.

A simple but very efficient technique of 3D object reconstruction and recognition is presented here. An optical and computer vision based measurement system is used to acquire the object's data. The recognition algorithm is a distance calculator. It is used to compute the proximity of the object's shape under test and a reference object's geometry shape. Here, as an application example, we presents a human face recognition case. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated here in two tests in which the same person is compared with himself within different facial expressions and with others persons with different faces expressions too. The results are presented in a comparative chart.

Nowadays three dimension (3D) architectural visualisation has become a powerful tool in the
conceptualisation, design and presentation of architectural products in the construction industry, providing
realistic interaction and walkthrough on engineering products. Traditional ways of implementing 3D
models involves the use of specialised 3D authoring tools along with skilled 3D designers with blueprints of
the model and this is a slow and laborious process. The aim of this paper is to automate this process by
simply analyzing the blueprint document and generating the 3D scene automatically. For this purpose we
have devised a 3-Phase recognition approach to pseudo 3D building generation from 2D floor plan and
developed a software accordingly.
Our 3-phased 3D building system has been implemented using C, C++ and OpenCV library [24] for the
Image Processing module; The Save Module generated an XML file for storing the processed floor plan
objects attributes; while the Irrlitch [14] game engine was used to implement the Interactive 3D module.
Though still at its infancy, our proposed system gave commendable results. We tested our system on 6 floor
plans with complexities ranging from low to high and the results seems to be very promising with an
average processing time of around 3s and a 3D generation in 4s. In addition the system provides an
interactive walk-though and allows users to modify components.

Forest fire is an important issue that damages thousands of hectares of forest and all creatures inside it. In this study we have developed an early fire detection system running on low-cost, lightweight Raspberry Pi module integrated with an infrared camera. The infrared camera acquires the live video of the fields, then if a fire occurs, our software detects the fire by taking both motion and color characteristics of a flames into account. In our study, there exist two phases: first, motion detection phase is applied to the view, if a motion is detected in the view, then, color detection phase is applied to determine the flames. Obtained results indicates that our fire detection system can detect a forest fire clearly and smoothly without requiring any external equipment and manual intervention

In literature, several methods are available to combine both low spatial multispectral and low spectral panchromatic resolution images to obtain a high resolution multispectral image. One of the most common problems encountered in these methods is spectral distortions introduced during the merging process. At the same time, the spectral quality of the image is the most important factor affecting the accuracy of the results in many applications such as object recognition, object extraction, image analysis. In this study, the most commonly used methods including GIHS, GIHSF, PCA and Wavelet are analyzed using image quality metrics such as SSIM, ERGAS and SAM. At the same time, Wavelet is the best method for obtaining the fused image having the least spectral distortions according to obtained results. At the same time, image quality of GIHS, GIHSF and PCA methods are close to each other, but spatial qualities of the fused image using the wavelet method are less than others.

Abstract—Visual attention detection is an important technique in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to extract a salient object from an image using bottom-up and top-down computations. In bottomup computation, segment-based color contrast and attention values are employed to compose a bottom-up saliency map. In top-down computation, in-focus areas of the image are extracted to derive attention values using wavelet transforms for constructing a segment-based top-down saliency map. Attention values from both maps are combined by linear combination. The foreground/background-based salient object extraction is applied to form an output object. Experiments on 1,200 color images show that the proposed algorithm yields high level of satisfaction. I.

Video surveillance always had a negative connotation, among others because of the loss of privacy and because it may not automatically increase public safety. If it was able to detect atypical (i.e. dangerous) situations in real time, autonomously and anonymously, this could change. A prerequisite for this is an automatic detection of possibly dangerous situations from video data. From the derived trajectories we then want to determine dangerous situations by detecting atypical trajectories. However, it is better to develop such a system without people being threatened or even harmed, plus with having them know that there is such a tracking system installed. In the artistic project leave a trace the tracked people become actor and thus part of the installation. Visualization in real-time allows interaction by these actors, which in turn creates many atypical interaction situations on which we could develop our situation detection.

An efficient hierarchical visual representation is proposed for progressive content-based image indexing and retrieval. More specifically, the image content is decomposed at different description levels, each of which represents the image at a different content scale. This is implemented by partitioning the image into objects structured in a hierarchical way. The lowest description level is obtained by applying a color segmentation algorithm to the image. On the other hand, the highest level is achieved by a semantic segmentation implemented in a semi-automatic framework. The spatial relationship of the object extracted, at a given description level, is described by a graph structure scheme. In particular, for each object (segment) a graph node is constructed and includes several features of that object. The graph links indicate the spatial relationship of the object with its neighbors. Following the hierarchical object decomposition, a tree-structure is created, providing efficient representation of the visual content.
