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...
The proposed technique addresses a fusion method of two imaging sensors on pixel-level. The fused image will provide a scene representation which is robust against illumination changes and different weather conditions. Thus, the combination of the advantages of each camera will extend the capabilities for many computer vision applications, such as video surveillance and automatic object recognition...
To segment an object from its background image for advanced vision processing, this article presents a novel bio-inspired framework for image segmentation in complex nature scenes, which is a hierarchical system that mimics the organization of layered early visual area in primate visual cortex. The proposed methodology consists of two typical stages: the first stage is a parallel modular structure...
A multi-sensor pixel based image fusion system using multi-resolution (MR) approach is proposed. Images captured by visual cameras are fused with those captured by night vision cameras for visibility improvement of a surveillance system and for driving at night or in bad weather conditions. Images captured by visual cameras in insufficient illumination generally have dark shadows and low contrast...
