When the object is presented, the system makes use of the motion information over consecutive frames to extract object features and implements machine learning based on the bag of visual words approach. Instead of using a local feature descriptor only, the proposed system uses the co-occurring local features in order to increase feature discriminative power for both object model learning and inference stages. For different objects with different textures, a hybrid sampling strategy is considered. This hybrid approach minimizes the consumption of computation resources and helps achieving good performances demonstrated on a set of a dozen different daily objects.展开更多

And video technology plays an important role and is extensively applied for underwater environment observation. Different from the conventional methods, video technology explores the underwater ecosystem continuously and non-invasively. However, due to the scattering and attenuation of light transport in the water, complex noise distribution and lowlight condition cause challenges for underwater video applications including object detection and recognition. In this paper, we propose a new deep encoding-decoding convolutional architecture for underwater object recognition. It uses the deep encoding-decoding network for extracting the discriminative features from the noisy low-light underwater images. To create the deconvolutional layers for classification, we apply the deconvolution kernel with a matched feature map, instead of full connection, to solve the problem of dimension disaster and low accuracy. Moreover, we introduce data augmentation and transfer learning technologies to solve the problem of data starvation. For experiments, we investigated the public datasets with our proposed method and the state-of-the-art methods. The results show that our work achieves significant accuracy. This work provides new underwater technologies applied for ocean exploration.展开更多

For the shortcomings and deficiencies of the frame-subtraction method, a redundant discrete wavelet transform （RDWT） based moving object recognition algorithm is put forward, which directly detects moving objects in the redundant discrete wavelet transform domain. An improved adaptive mean-shift algorithm is used to track the moving object in the follow up frames. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively extract the moving object, even though the object is similar to the background, and the results are better than the traditional frame-subtraction method. The object tracking is accurate without the impact of changes in the size of the object. Therefore the algorithm has a certain practical value and prospect.展开更多

In this article, firstly, we build a three-dimensional （3D） satellites dataset named BUAA Satellite Image Dataset （BUAA-SID 1.0） to supply data for 3D space object research. Then, based on the dataset, we propose to recognize full-viewpoint 3D space objects based on kernel locality preserving projections （KLPP）. To obtain more accurate and separable description of the objects, firstly, we build feature vectors employing moment invariants, Fourier descriptors, region covariance and histogram of oriented gradients. Then, we map the features into kernel space followed by dimensionality reduction using KLPP to obtain the submanifold of the features. At last, k-nearest neighbor （kNN） is used to accomplish the classification. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is more appropriate for space object recognition mainly considering changes of viewpoints. Encouraging recognition rate could be obtained based on images in BUAA-SID 1.0, and the highest recognition result could achieve 95.87%.展开更多

However, the DL netowrks have many parameters, which have a lot of influence on the performance of the network. We propose a genetic algorithm(GA) based deep belief neural network(DBNN) method for robot object recognition and grasping purpose. This method optimizes the parameters of the DBNN method, such as the number of hidden units, the number of epochs, and the learning rates, which would reduce the error rate and the network training time of object recognition. After recognizing objects, the robot performs the pick-andplace operations. We build a database of six objects for experimental purpose. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms on the optimized robot object recognition and grasping tasks.展开更多

The original image is segmented to be a binary one by one dimension maximum entropy threshold algorithm and the binary image is labeled with an algorithm based on recursion technique. Then, shape parameters of all labeled regions are calculated and those regions with shape parameters satisfying certain conditions are recognized as circular objects. The algorithm is described in detail, and comparison experiments with the randomized Hough transformation （RHT） are also provided. The experimental results on synthetic images and real images show that the proposed method has the merits of fast recognition rate, high recognition efficiency and the ability of anti-noise and anti-jamming. In addition, the method performs well when some circular objects are little deformed and partly misshapen.展开更多

Multi-scale fusion is introduced to capture the local and detailed information in small-scale features, and the global and contour information in large-scale features, offering help to extract the edge information from sea clutter and further improving the target recognition accuracy. The proposed method can maximally preserve the multi-scale fusion sparse of data and maximize the class separability in the reduced dimensionality by reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Experimental results on the measured radar data show that the proposed method can effectively extract the features of ship target from sea clutter, further reduce the feature dimensionality, and improve target recognition performance.

文摘An object learning and recognition system is implemented for humanoid robots to discover and memorize objects only by simple interactions with non-expert users. When the object is presented, the system makes use of the motion information over consecutive frames to extract object features and implements machine learning based on the bag of visual words approach. Instead of using a local feature descriptor only, the proposed system uses the co-occurring local features in order to increase feature discriminative power for both object model learning and inference stages. For different objects with different textures, a hybrid sampling strategy is considered. This hybrid approach minimizes the consumption of computation resources and helps achieving good performances demonstrated on a set of a dozen different daily objects.

文摘Ocean underwater exploration is a part of oceanography that investigates the physical and biological conditions for scientific and commercial purposes. And video technology plays an important role and is extensively applied for underwater environment observation. Different from the conventional methods, video technology explores the underwater ecosystem continuously and non-invasively. However, due to the scattering and attenuation of light transport in the water, complex noise distribution and lowlight condition cause challenges for underwater video applications including object detection and recognition. In this paper, we propose a new deep encoding-decoding convolutional architecture for underwater object recognition. It uses the deep encoding-decoding network for extracting the discriminative features from the noisy low-light underwater images. To create the deconvolutional layers for classification, we apply the deconvolution kernel with a matched feature map, instead of full connection, to solve the problem of dimension disaster and low accuracy. Moreover, we introduce data augmentation and transfer learning technologies to solve the problem of data starvation. For experiments, we investigated the public datasets with our proposed method and the state-of-the-art methods. The results show that our work achieves significant accuracy. This work provides new underwater technologies applied for ocean exploration.
文摘A method for moving object recognition and tracking in the intelligent traffic monitoring system is presented. For the shortcomings and deficiencies of the frame-subtraction method, a redundant discrete wavelet transform （RDWT） based moving object recognition algorithm is put forward, which directly detects moving objects in the redundant discrete wavelet transform domain. An improved adaptive mean-shift algorithm is used to track the moving object in the follow up frames. Experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively extract the moving object, even though the object is similar to the background, and the results are better than the traditional frame-subtraction method. The object tracking is accurate without the impact of changes in the size of the object. Therefore the algorithm has a certain practical value and prospect.

文摘Space object recognition plays an important role in spatial exploitation and surveillance, followed by two main problems： lacking of data and drastic changes in viewpoints. In this article, firstly, we build a three-dimensional （3D） satellites dataset named BUAA Satellite Image Dataset （BUAA-SID 1.0） to supply data for 3D space object research. Then, based on the dataset, we propose to recognize full-viewpoint 3D space objects based on kernel locality preserving projections （KLPP）. To obtain more accurate and separable description of the objects, firstly, we build feature vectors employing moment invariants, Fourier descriptors, region covariance and histogram of oriented gradients. Then, we map the features into kernel space followed by dimensionality reduction using KLPP to obtain the submanifold of the features. At last, k-nearest neighbor （kNN） is used to accomplish the classification. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is more appropriate for space object recognition mainly considering changes of viewpoints. Encouraging recognition rate could be obtained based on images in BUAA-SID 1.0, and the highest recognition result could achieve 95.87%.
文摘The performance of deep learning(DL)networks has been increased by elaborating the network structures. However, the DL netowrks have many parameters, which have a lot of influence on the performance of the network. We propose a genetic algorithm(GA) based deep belief neural network(DBNN) method for robot object recognition and grasping purpose. This method optimizes the parameters of the DBNN method, such as the number of hidden units, the number of epochs, and the learning rates, which would reduce the error rate and the network training time of object recognition. After recognizing objects, the robot performs the pick-andplace operations. We build a database of six objects for experimental purpose. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms on the optimized robot object recognition and grasping tasks.
文摘This paper proposes a method to recognize human-object interactions by modeling context between human actions and interacted objects.Human-object interaction recognition is a challenging task due to severe occlusion between human and objects during the interacting process.Since that human actions and interacted objects provide strong context information,i.e.some actions are usually related to some specific objects,the accuracy of recognition is significantly improved for both of them.Through the proposed method,both global and local temporal features from skeleton sequences are extracted to model human actions.In the meantime,kernel features are utilized to describe interacted objects.Finally,all possible solutions from actions and objects are optimized by modeling the context between them.The results of experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
文摘To recognize circular objects rapidly in satellite remote sensing imagery, an approach using their geometry properties is presented. The original image is segmented to be a binary one by one dimension maximum entropy threshold algorithm and the binary image is labeled with an algorithm based on recursion technique. Then, shape parameters of all labeled regions are calculated and those regions with shape parameters satisfying certain conditions are recognized as circular objects. The algorithm is described in detail, and comparison experiments with the randomized Hough transformation （RHT） are also provided. The experimental results on synthetic images and real images show that the proposed method has the merits of fast recognition rate, high recognition efficiency and the ability of anti-noise and anti-jamming. In addition, the method performs well when some circular objects are little deformed and partly misshapen.

文摘Object recognition and tracking are two of the most dynamic research sub-areas that belong to the field of Computer Vision.Computer vision is one of the most active research fields that lies at the intersection of deep learning and machine vision.This paper presents an efficient ensemble algorithm for the recognition and tracking of fixed shapemoving objects while accommodating the shift and scale invariances that the object may encounter.The first part uses the Maximum Average Correlation Height(MACH)filter for object recognition and determines the bounding box coordinates.In case the correlation based MACH filter fails,the algorithms switches to a much reliable but computationally complex feature based object recognition technique i.e.,affine scale invariant feature transform(ASIFT).ASIFT is used to accommodate object shift and scale object variations.ASIFT extracts certain features from the object of interest,providing invariance in up to six affine parameters,namely translation(two parameters),zoom,rotation and two camera axis orientations.However,in this paper,only the shift and scale invariances are used.The second part of the algorithm demonstrates the use of particle filters based Approximate Proximal Gradient(APG)technique to periodically update the coordinates of the object encapsulated in the bounding box.At the end,a comparison of the proposed algorithm with other stateof-the-art tracking algorithms has been presented,which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with respect to the minimization of tracking errors.

文摘The application of high-performance imaging sensors in space-based space surveillance systems makes it possible to recognize space objects and estimate their poses using vision-based methods. In this paper, we proposed a kernel regression-based method for joint multi-view space object recognition and pose estimation. We built a new simulated satellite image dataset named BUAA-SID 1.5 to test our method using different image representations. We evaluated our method for recognition-only tasks, pose estimation-only tasks, and joint recognition and pose estimation tasks. Experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-arts in space object recognition, and can recognize space objects and estimate their poses effectively and robustly against noise and lighting conditions.

文摘A literature analysis has shown that object search,recognition,and tracking systems are becoming increasingly popular.However,such systems do not achieve high practical results in analyzing small moving living objects ranging from 8 to 14 mm.This article examines methods and tools for recognizing and tracking the class of small moving objects,such as ants.To fulfill those aims,a customized You Only Look Once Ants Recognition(YOLO_AR)Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)has been trained to recognize Messor Structor ants in the laboratory using the LabelImg object marker tool.The proposed model is an extension of the You Only Look Once v4(Yolov4)512×512 model with an additional Self Regularized Non–Monotonic(Mish)activation function.Additionally,the scalable solution for continuous object recognizing and tracking was implemented.This solution is based on the OpenDatacam system,with extended Object Tracking modules that allow for tracking and counting objects that have crossed the custom boundary line.During the study,the methods of the alignment algorithm for finding the trajectory of moving objects were modified.I discovered that the Hungarian algorithm showed better results in tracking small objects than the K–D dimensional tree(k-d tree)matching algorithm used in OpenDataCam.Remarkably,such an algorithm showed better results with the implemented YOLO_AR model due to the lack of False Positives(FP).Therefore,I provided a new tracker module with a Hungarian matching algorithm verified on the Multiple Object Tracking(MOT)benchmark.Furthermore,additional customization parameters for object recognition and tracking results parsing and filtering were added,like boundary angle threshold(BAT)and past frames trajectory prediction(PFTP).Experimental tests confirmed the results of the study on a mobile device.During the experiment,parameters such as the quality of recognition and tracking of moving objects,the PFTP and BAT,and the configuration parameters of the neural network and boundary line model were analyzed.The results showed an increased tracking accuracy with the proposed methods by 50%.The study results confirmed the relevance of the topic and the effectiveness of the implemented methods and tools.
