As the global threat of terrorism continues to escalate, finding efficient ways to ensure the safety of the public is becoming a major concern for the authorities. This paper presents an investigation of scanning and detection of concealed weapons with possible applications in high risk areas like airports. Using a passive and non-intrusive scanning method like Infrared (IR) imaging, and combining...
Traditional shape from silhouette methods compute the 3D shape as the intersection of the back-projected silhouettes in the 3D space, the so called visual hull. However, silhouettes that have been obtained with background subtraction techniques often present miss-detection errors (produced by false negatives or occlusions) which produce incomplete 3D shapes. Our approach deals with miss-detections...
This paper presents object-based image retrieval using a novel method based on perceptual grouping. The perceptual grouping is obtained by detecting the line edge from a square block using the two consecutive primitive edge differences detector. Object segmentation and recognition is the primary step of computer vision for applying for an image retrieval of higher-level image analysis. However, automatic...
