Visual attention based model for target detection in large-field images

It is of great significance to rapidly detect targets in large-field remote sensing images,with limited computation resources.Employing relative achievements of visual attention in perception psychology,this paper proposes a hierarchical attention based model for target detection.Specifically,at the preattention stage,before getting salient regions,a fast computational approach is applied to build a saliency map.After that,the focus of attention（FOA） can be quickly obtained to indicate the salient objects.Then,at the attention stage,under the FOA guidance,the high-level visual features of the region of interest are extracted in parallel.Finally,at the post-attention stage,by integrating these parallel and independent visual attributes,a decision-template based classifier fusion strategy is proposed to discriminate the task-related targets from the other extracted salient objects.For comparison,experiments on ship detection are done for validating the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed model.

MULTI-TARGET VISUAL TRACKING AND OCCLUSION DETECTION BY COMBINING BHATTACHARYYA COEFFICIENT AND KALMAN FILTER INNOVATION

This paper introduces an approach for visual tracking of multi-target with occlusion occurrence. Based on the author's previous work in which the Overlap Coefficient (OC) is used to detect the occlusion, in this paper a method of combining Bhattacharyya Coefficient (BC) and Kalman filter innovation term is proposed as the criteria for jointly detecting the occlusion occurrence. Fragmentation of target is introduced in order to closely monitor the occlusion development. In the course of occlusion, the Kalman predictor is applied to determine the location of the occluded target, and the criterion for checking the re-appearance of the occluded target is also presented. The proposed approach is put to test on a standard video sequence, suggesting the satisfactory performance in multi-target tracking.

Dynamic Visible Light Positioning Based on Enhanced Visual Target Tracking

In visible light positioning systems,some scholars have proposed target tracking algorithms to balance the relationship among positioning accuracy,real-time performance,and robustness.However,there are still two problems:(1)When the captured LED disappears and the uncertain LED reappears,existing tracking algorithms may recognize the landmark in error;(2)The receiver is not always able to achieve positioning under various moving statuses.In this paper,we propose an enhanced visual target tracking algorithm to solve the above problems.First,we design the lightweight recognition/demodulation mechanism,which combines Kalman filtering with simple image preprocessing to quickly track and accurately demodulate the landmark.Then,we use the Gaussian mixture model and the LED color feature to enable the system to achieve positioning,when the receiver is under various moving statuses.Experimental results show that our system can achieve high-precision dynamic positioning and improve the system’s comprehensive performance.

SPATIAL TRAJECTORY PREDICTION OF VISUAL SERVOING

Target tracking is one typical application of visual servoing technology. It is still a difficult task to track high speed target with current visual servo system. The improvement of visual servoing scheme is strongly required. A position-based visual servo parallel system is presented for tracking target with high speed. A local Frenet frame is assigned to the sampling point of spatial trajectory. Position estimation is formed by the differential features of intrinsic geometry, and orientation estimation is formed by homogenous transformation. The time spent for searching and processing can be greatly reduced by shifting the window according to features location prediction. The simulation results have demonstrated the ability of the system to track spatial moving object.

ISAR target recognition based on non-negative sparse coding

Aiming at technical difficulties in feature extraction for the inverse synthetic aperture radar （ISAR） target recognition, this paper imports the concept of visual perception and presents a novel method, which is based on the combination of non-negative sparse coding （NNSC） and linear discrimination optimization, to recognize targets in ISAR images. This method implements NNSC on the matrix constituted by the intensities of pixels in ISAR images for training, to obtain non-negative sparse bases which characterize sparse distribution of strong scattering centers. Then this paper chooses sparse bases via optimization criteria and calculates the corresponding non-negative sparse codes of both training and test images as the feature vectors, which are input into k neighbors classifier to realize recognition finally. The feasibility and robustness of the proposed method are proved by comparing with the template matching, principle component analysis （PCA） and non-negative matrix factorization （NMF） via simulations.

They were selected through the purposive sampling method. The socio-demographic questionnaire, Beck depression inventory and WHO-VFQ (visual function questionnaire were used to collect data. The result showed that the domains of vision-related health status were negatively related to depression at (-0.4) also general vision (-0.09), ocular pain (-0.23), vision-specific mental health (-0.03), role difficulties (-0.03), role difficulties (-0.03), dependency (-0.09), color vision (-0.30) and peripheral vision (-0.13) and vision-specific social functioning. Domains of near acuity and vision specific social functioning were positively related, but the only statistically significant domain was vision-specific social functioning at (0.30, p 0.001). It was suggested that hospitals, families and other social groups should ensure that they provide social and emotional support to the visually impaired using their facilities.
