    摘要: A training apparatus (2000) acquires a ground-view image (20), an aerial-view image (30), and alignment information (50), and trains a discriminator (10) that extracts a plurality of partial aerial regions (40) from the aerial-view image (30) and determines that the ground-view image (20) matches the aerial-view image (30) when there is the partial aerial region (40) that matches the ground-view image (20). The training apparatus (2000) extracts a correctly-aligned partial aerial region (42) and a mis-aligned partial aerial region (44) from the aerial-view image (30). The correctly-aligned partial aerial region (42) is indicated by the alignment information (50) and corresponds to the ground-view image (20). The mis-aligned partial aerial region (44) partially overlaps the correctly-aligned partial aerial region (42). The training apparatus (2000) trains the discriminator (10) using both the correctly-aligned partial aerial region (42) and the mis-aligned partial aerial region (44) as positive examples.

    摘要: Techniques for improving image co-registration. One aspect relates to improving Mutual Information techniques by making the histogram bin widths used therein depend on the amount of signal noise. Another aspect relates to populating the bins by integrating the signal probability in each bin. A third aspect relates to converting top-of-the-atmosphere image data to surface reflectance data, and then using surface reflectance data in the Mutual Information technique for determining a correlation surface. The fourth aspect relates to registering higher-resolution images with lower-resolution images by down-sampling the higher-resolution image. The last aspect relates to a technique for determining the accuracy of the co-registration by synthesizing a perfectly-registered image in a second wavelength band from an image in a first wavelength band and then using Mutual Information between the two images to create a correlation surface.

    摘要: This invention fuses spectral information from multiple imagers of an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV). Since the imagers contain different spectral information for each pixel location, the invention provides highly accurate targeting and guidance information to the UGV. The invention applies a robust 2-step image registration process for alignment of images captured by each of the multiple imagers to automatically identify targets of interest, so that the UGV can move toward the targets. This two-step image registration process can achieve sub-pixel accuracy. After registration, a new multispectral image is formed with pixels containing spectral information from all imagers. The invention further incorporates an accurate anomaly detection algorithm to help detect new targets in the scene, and incorporates advanced composition estimation algorithms to determine the composition of targets. Finally, the invention allows users to interact with the target detection results through a user friendly graphical user interface.

    摘要: Technologies for gaze tracking by ambient light include a mobile compute device to capture a first image of a user of the mobile compute device by a first camera and a second image of a real-world environment of the mobile compute device by a second camera. The mobile compute device determines a physical location of a light source relative to the mobile compute device based on the second image and identifies a first and second corneal reflection in an eye of the user captured in the first image. The mobile compute device determines, based on the physical location, a first correspondence between the first corneal reflection and the light source and a second correspondence between the second corneal reflection and an image displayed on a display of the mobile compute device. Further, the mobile compute device performs gaze tracking based on the first correspondence and the second correspondence.
