Broadcast sports video report is expected be the generated player data in real time. Therefore, uniform number recognition need to fast computing. Covariance feature has possibilities to do it in real time. We present a method for uniform number recognition using the covariance feature as a region descriptor. The covariance feature is represented by the covariance matrix of image features such as...
This letter proposes an efficient and robust background compensation method for pan-tilt-zoom cameras. The proposed method approximates the relation between consecutive images to a three-parameter similarity transformation, which is separable in horizontal and vertical axes, and extracts and matches 1-D features that are local minima and maxima of intensity projection profiles in each axis. These...
In this paper, a method for side scan sonar image matching is proposed based on SURF and similarity calculating in typical areas. The process is composed of three steps of rough matching, geometric correction and accurate matching. Firstly, rough matching is implemented to get a rough matching relationship of reference image and matching image based on SURF. Then geometric correction is executed with...
In this paper, we describe the design of a mosaicing technique for images from a microscope system with automatically controlled object stage and image capture unit. Due to the limited field of view in microscope imagery, larger objects are split up into many adjacent, but slightly overlapping frames. In many fields, such as medicine or biology, it is vastly beneficial that these image patches are...
We present a wide-baseline image matching approach based on line segments. Line segments are clustered into local groups according to spatial proximity. Each group is treated as a feature called a Line Signature. Similar to local features, line signatures are robust to occlusion, image clutter, and viewpoint changes. The descriptor and similarity measure of line signatures are presented. Under our...
Previous works that employed an automatic registration of multiple range views resorted to the use of corresponding 3D matching points in order to compute relative orientations. False 3D matches were detected by verifying their compliance with the parameteres of the orientation's mathematical model computed in 3D space. In this research we introduce a new method to detect correct 3D matches. This...
The partial copy is a kind of copy produced by cropping parts of original materials. Illegal users often use this technique for plagiarizing copyrighted materials. In addition, original parts are not necessarily copied intact but may be modified by various techniques, and embedded into other materials, which make the detection quite difficult. In this paper, we propose a method of copyright protection...
This paper presents a new template matching algorithm in which the central moments are used as the matching features and the idea of integral image are used to decrease the time for image matching process. The algorithm also combines coarse-fine two-stage searching methods to effectively solve the problem of finding the peak point of the correlation functions accurately and robustly. It is different...
