    摘要: A vision-based system for automatically detecting the type of object within a specified area, such as the type of occupant within a vehicle is presented. The type of occupant can then be used to determine whether an airbag deployment system should be enabled or not. The system extracts different features, including wavelet features and/or a disparity map from images captured by image sensors. These features are then processed by classification algorithms to produce class confidences for various occupant types. The occupant class confidences are fused and processed to determine occupant type. In a preferred embodiment, image features from image edges, wavelet features, and disparity are used. Various classification algorithms may be implemented to classify the object. Use of the disparity map and/or wavelet features provides greater computational efficiency.

    摘要: A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for three-dimensional shape estimation using constrained disparity propagation are presented. An act of receiving a stereoscopic pair of images of an area occupied by at least one object is performed. Next, pattern regions and non-pattern regions are detected in the images. An initial estimate of śpatial disparities between the pattern regions in the images is generated. The initial estimate is used to generate a subsequent estimate of the spatial disparities between the non-pattern regions. The subsequent estimate is used to generate further subsequent estimates of the spatial disparities using the disparity constraints until there is no change between the results of subsequent iterations, generating a final estimate of the spatial disparities. A disparity map of the area occupied by at least one object is generated from the final estimate of the three-dimensional shape.

    摘要: Described is a system for content recognition, search, and retrieval in visual data. The system is configured to perform operations of receiving visual data as an input, processing the visual data, and extracting distinct activity-agnostic content descriptors from the visual data at each level of a hierarchical content descriptor module. The resulting content descriptors are then indexed with a hierarchical content indexing module, wherein each level of the content indexing module comprises a distinct set of indexed content descriptors. The visual data, generated content descriptors, and indexed content descriptors are then stored in a storage module. Finally, based on a content-based query by a user, the storage module is searched, and visual data containing the content of interest is retrieved and presented to the user. A method and computer program product for content recognition, search, and retrieval in visual data are also described.

    摘要: A method and system for video-content based retrieval is described. A query video depicting an activity is processed using interest point selection to find locations in the video that are relevant to that activity. A set of spatio-temporal descriptors such as self-similarity and 3-D SIFT are calculated within a local neighborhood of the set of interest points. An indexed video database containing videos similar to the query video is searched using the set of descriptors to obtain a set of candidate videos. The videos in the video database are indexed hierarchically using a vocabulary tree or other hierarchical indexing mechanism.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method and system for generic object detection using block-based feature computation and, more specifically, a method and system for massively parallel computation of object features sets according to an optimized clock-cycle matrix. The method uses an array of correlators to calculate block sums for each section of the image to be analyzed. A greedy heuristic scheduling algorithm is executed to produce an optimized clock cycle matrix such that overlapping features which use the same block sum do not attempt to access the block at the same time, thereby avoiding race memory conditions. The processing system can employ any of a variety of hardwired Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chips such as Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs).
