ITS subsystems are Emergency vehicle notification systems, Automatic road enforcement, Collision avoidance systems, Automatic parking, Map database management, etc. Advance Driver Assists System (ADAS) belongs to ITS which provides alert or warning or information to the user during driving. The proposed method uses Gaussian filtering and Median filtering to remove noise in the image. Subsequently image subtraction is achieved by subtracting Median filtered image from Gaussian filtered image. The resultant image is converted to binary image and the regions are analyzed using connected component approach. The prior work on speed bump detection is achieved using sensors which are failed to detect speed bumps that are constructed with small height and the detection rate is affected due to erroneous identification. And the smartphone and accelerometer methodologies are not perfectly suitable for real time scenario due to GPS error, network overload, real-time delay, accuracy and battery running out. The proposed system goes very well for the roads which are constructed with proper painting irrespective of their dimension.展开更多

However, thesc methods are only suitable for the study of one-dimensional filtering, when these methods are used for three-dimensional filtering, it is found that a rounding error and quantization error would be passed to the next in every part. In this paper, a new and high-precision implementation approach for Gaussian filter is described, which is suitable for three-dimensional reference filtering. Based on the theory of generalized B-spline function and the variational principle, the transmission characteristics of a digital filter can be changed through the sensitivity of the parameters （t1, t2）, and which can also reduce the rounding error and quantization error by the filter in a parallel form instead of the cascade form, Finally, the approximation filter of Gaussian filter is obtained. In order to verify the feasibility of the new algorithm, the reference extraction of the conventional methods are also used and compared. The experiments are conducted on the measured optical surface, and the results show that the total calculation by the new algorithm only requires 0.07 s for 480×480 data points; the amplitude deviation between the reference of the parallel form filter and the Gaussian filter is smaller; the new method is closer to the characteristic of the Gaussian filter through the analysis of three-dimensional roughness parameters, comparing with the cascade generalized B-spline approximating Gaussian. So the new algorithm is also efficient and accurate for the implementation of Gaussian filter in the application of surface roughness measurement.展开更多

An efficient new algorithm called the adaptive Gaussian-sum square-root cubature Kalman filter（AGSSCKF） with a split-merge scheme is proposed. It is developed based on the squared-root extension of newly introduced cubature Kalman filter（SCKF） and is built within a Gaussian-sum framework. Based on the condition that the probability density functions of process noises and initial state are denoted by a Gaussian sum using optimization method, a bank of SCKF are used as the sub-filters to estimate state of system with the corresponding weights respectively, which is adaptively updated. The new algorithm consists of an adaptive splitting and merging procedure according to a proposed split-decision model based on the nonlinearity degree of measurement. The results of two simulation scenarios（one-dimensional state estimation and bearings-only tracking） show that the proposed filter demonstrates comparable performance to the particle filter with significantly reduced computational cost.展开更多

A solution to pose and motion estimation problem that uses two-dimensional （2D） intensity images from a single camera is desirable for real-time applications. The difficulty in performing this measurement is that the process of projecting 3D object features to 2D images is a nonlinear transformation. In this paper, the 3D transformation is modeled as a nonlinear stochastic system with the state estimation providing six degrees-of-freedom motion and position values, using line features in image plane as measuring inputs and dual quaternion to represent both rotation and translation in a unified notation. A filtering method called the Gaussian particle filter （GPF） based on the panicle filtering concept is presented for 3D pose and motion estimation of a moving target from monocular image sequences. The method has been implemented with simulated data, and simulation results are provided along with comparisons to the extended Kalman filter （EKF） and the unscented Kalman filter （UKF） to show the relative advantages of the GPF. Simulation results showed that GPF is a superior alternative to EKF and UKF.展开更多

Moreover, it solves the end-less while-loop problem without the need of a second merging step. Simulation results show that this improved algorithm is easier to implement and more robust than the formal ones.展开更多

This paper describes novel implementations of the Gaussian filtering for characteristic signal extraction and waveletbased image denoising algorithms that run on the graphics processing unit （GPU）. While significant acceleration over standard CPU implementations is obtained through exploiting data parallelism provided by the modern programmable graphics hardware, the CPU can be freed up to run other computations more efficiently such as artificial intelligence （AI） and physics. The proposed GPU-based Gaussian filtering can extract surface information from a real object and provide its material features for rendering and illumination. The wavelet-based signal denoising for large size digital images realized in this project provided better realism for VE visualization without sacrificing real-time and interactive performances of an application.展开更多

文摘NonLocal Means(NLM),taking fully advantage of image redundancy,has been proved to be very effective in noise removal.However,high computational load limits its wide application.Based on Principle Component Analysis(PCA),Principle Neighborhood Dictionary(PND) was proposed to reduce the computational load of NLM.Nevertheless,as the principle components in PND method are computed directly from noisy image neighborhoods,they are prone to be inaccurate due to the presence of noise.In this paper,an improved scheme for image denoising is proposed.This scheme is based on PND and uses preprocessing via Gaussian filter to eliminate the influence of noise.PCA is then used to project those filtered image neighborhood vectors onto a lower-dimensional space.With the preproc-essing process,the principle components computed are more accurate resulting in an improved de-noising performance.A comparison with some NLM based and state-of-art denoising methods shows that the proposed method performs well in terms of Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) as well as image visual fidelity.The experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms existing methods both subjectively and objectively.

文摘With the vigorous expansion of nonlinear adaptive filtering with real-valued kernel functions,its counterpart complex kernel adaptive filtering algorithms were also sequentially proposed to solve the complex-valued nonlinear problems arising in almost all real-world applications.This paper firstly presents two schemes of the complex Gaussian kernel-based adaptive filtering algorithms to illustrate their respective characteristics.Then the theoretical convergence behavior of the complex Gaussian kernel least mean square（LMS） algorithm is studied by using the fixed dictionary strategy.The simulation results demonstrate that the theoretical curves predicted by the derived analytical models consistently coincide with the Monte Carlo simulation results in both transient and steady-state stages for two introduced complex Gaussian kernel LMS algonthms using non-circular complex data.The analytical models are able to be regard as a theoretical tool evaluating ability and allow to compare with mean square error（MSE） performance among of complex kernel LMS（KLMS） methods according to the specified kernel bandwidth and the length of dictionary.
文摘In content-based image retrieval(CBIR),primitive image signatures are critical because they represent the visual characteristics.Image signatures,which are algorithmically descriptive and accurately recognized visual components,are used to appropriately index and retrieve comparable results.To differentiate an image in the category of qualifying contender,feature vectors must have image information's like colour,objects,shape,spatial viewpoints.Previous methods such as sketch-based image retrieval by salient contour(SBIR)and greedy learning of deep Boltzmann machine(GDBM)used spatial information to distinguish between image categories.This requires interest points and also feature analysis emerged image detection problems.Thus,a proposed model to overcome this issue and predict the repeating pattern as well as series of pixels that conclude similarity has been necessary.In this study,a technique called CBIR-similarity measure via artificial neural network interpolation(CBIR-SMANN)has been presented.By collecting datasets,the images are resized then subject to Gaussian filtering in the pre-processing stage,then by permitting them to the Hessian detector,the interesting points are gathered.Based on Skewness,mean,kurtosis and standard deviation features were extracted then given to ANN for interpolation.Interpolated results are stored in a database for retrieval.In the testing stage,the query image was inputted that is subjected to pre-processing,and feature extraction was then fed to the similarity measurement function.Thus,ANN helps to get similar images from the database.CBIR-SMANN have been implemented in the python tool and then evaluated for its performance.Results show that CBIR-SMANN exhibited a high recall value of 78%with a minimum retrieval time of 980 ms.This showed the supremacy of the proposed model was comparatively greater than the previous ones.

文摘This paper proposes an improved Gaussian particle filter integratingthe Artificial Fish School Algorithm to optimise the measured values to improve the overall estimation accuracy of the system.Meanwhile,it also solves the problems of susceptibility to interference and insufficient estimation accuracy in nonlinear systems.Furthermore,since the calculation time of the fusion algorithm increases,in order to ensure the speed of state estimation,the linear transformation of standard particle swarm is used to replace the particle sampling link of Gaussian particle filter.Simulation results show that the calculation speed of a fast Gaussian Particle Filter based on the Artificial Fish School Algorithm is 21.7%faster than the Particle Filter based on the Artificial Fish School Algorithm.Compared with Particle Filter,Gaussian particle filter,and the Artificial Fish School Algorithm,the proposed algorithm has a higher accuracy.

文摘The sense of being within a three-dimensional （3D） space and interacting with virtual 3D objects in a computer-generated virtual environment （VE） often requires essential image, vision and sensor signal processing techniques such as differentiating and denoising. This paper describes novel implementations of the Gaussian filtering for characteristic signal extraction and waveletbased image denoising algorithms that run on the graphics processing unit （GPU）. While significant acceleration over standard CPU implementations is obtained through exploiting data parallelism provided by the modern programmable graphics hardware, the CPU can be freed up to run other computations more efficiently such as artificial intelligence （AI） and physics. The proposed GPU-based Gaussian filtering can extract surface information from a real object and provide its material features for rendering and illumination. The wavelet-based signal denoising for large size digital images realized in this project provided better realism for VE visualization without sacrificing real-time and interactive performances of an application.

文摘We propose a single-pixel imaging(SPI)method to achieve a higher-resolution image via the Hadamard transform matrix.Unlike traditional SPI schemes,this new method recovers images by correlating single-pixel signals with synchronized transformed patterns of Hadamard bases that are actually projected onto the digital micromirror device.Each transform pattern is obtained through the inverse Fourier transform of the pattern acquired by Gaussian filtering of each Hadamard basis in the frequency domain.The proposed scheme is based on a typical SPI experimental setup and does not add any hardware complexity,enabling the transformation of Hadamard matrices and image reconstruction through data processing alone.Therefore,this approach could be considered as an alternative option for achieving fast SPI in a diffraction-limited imaging system,without the need for additional hardware.
文摘High performance hardware architecture for depth measurement by using binocular-camera is proposed.In the system,at first,video streams of the target are captured by left and right charge-coupled device(CCD)cameras to obtain an image including the target.Then,two different images with two different view points are obtained,and they are used in calculating the position deviation of the image's pixels based on triangular measurement.Finally,the three-dimensional coordinate of the object is reconstructed.All the video data is processed by using field-programmable gate array(FPGA)in real-time.Hardware implementation speeds up the performance and reduces the power,thus,this hardware architecture can be applied in the portable environment.
