    摘要: A system and an apparatus for improving image quality of an object in video telephony are described. The apparatus comprises an image detection unit, an image alignment unit and an image fusion unit. A near infrared light source in the image detection unit illuminates the object, such that the object is front illuminated. An image sensor alongside the near infrared light source generates a near infrared image and a visible image. An image alignment unit aligns the near infrared image and the visible image. An image fusion unit fuses the aligned near infrared image and aligned visible image pair to form a composite image of the object. The composite image of the object has improved image quality, image detail, and a reduction in shadows.

    摘要: A system and a method are disclosed for adaptive probabilistic tracking of an object within a motion video. The method utilizes a time-varying Eigenbasis and dynamic, observation and inference models. The Eigenbasis serves as a model of the target object. The dynamic model represents the motion of the object and defines possible locations of the target based upon previous locations. The observation model provides a measure of the distance of an observation of the object relative to the current Eigenbasis. The inference model predicts the most likely location of the object based upon past and present observations. The method is effective with or without training samples. A computer-based system provides a means for implementing the method. The effectiveness of the system and method are demonstrated through simulation.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for image processing a lens-distorted image (e.g., a fisheye image) is provided. The method includes partitioning coordinate points in a selected output image into tiles. The output image is an undistorted rendition of a subset of the lens-distorted image. Coordinate points on a border of the tiles in the output image are selected. For each tile, coordinate points in the lens-distorted image corresponding to each selected coordinate point in the output image are calculated. In addition, for each tile, a bounding box on the lens-distorted image is selected. The bounding box includes the calculated coordinates in the lens-distorted image. The bounding boxes are expanded so that they encompass all coordinate points in the lens-distorted image that map to all coordinate points in their respective corresponding tiles. Output pixel values are generated for each tile from pixel values in their corresponding expanded bounding boxes.

    摘要: Visual tracking over a sequence of images is formulated by defining an object class and one or more background classes. The most discriminant features available in the images are then used to select a portion of each image as belonging to the object class. Fisher's linear discriminant method is used to project high-dimensional image data onto a lower-dimensional space, e.g., a line, and perform classification in the lower-dimensional space. The projection function is incrementally updated.

    摘要: Straight lines in a compensated image of a wide-angle image are identified (102) and corresponding curved lines of pixels in the wide-angle image identified (103) as well. For given points in the aforementioned straight lines, a corresponding point in the corresponding curved lines is identified by determining an intersection of those curved lines with another line of pixels in the wide-angle image (104). The latter can comprise either a curved line that corresponds to another straight line in the compensated image, in which case the intersection is noted by tracing the curved lines using a scan-rasterization algorithm. The latter can also comprise, if desired, a straight line that corresponds to another straight line in the compensated image. In either case, the point of intersection is readily and efficiently determined.
