This work presents new methods and algorithms for tracking the shape and trajectory of moving reflecting obstacles with broken rays, or rays reflecting at an obstacle. While in tomography the focus of the reconstruction method is to recover…
Cyclists face a disproportionate risk of injury, yet conventional crash records are too sparse to identify risk factors at fine spatial and temporal scales. Recently, naturalistic studies have used video data to capture the complex…
Object detection or localization is an incremental step in progression from coarse to fine digital image inference. It not only provides the classes of the image objects, but also provides the location of the image objects which have been…
We address the problem of soft color segmentation, defined as decomposing a given image into several RGBA layers, each containing only homogeneous color regions. The resulting layers from decomposition pave the way for applications that…
Effective tracking of surrounding traffic participants allows for an accurate state estimation as a necessary ingredient for prediction of future behavior and therefore adequate planning of the ego vehicle trajectory. One approach for…
Object detection and recognition are important problems in computer vision. Since these problems are meta-heuristic, despite a lot of research, practically usable, intelligent, real-time, and dynamic object detection/recognition methods are…
The traditional color-based mean-shift tracking algorithm is popular among tracking methods due to its simple and efficient procedure, however, the lack of dynamism in its target model makes it unsuitable for tracking objects which have…
We present a new method to capture detailed human motion, sampling more than 1000 unique points on the body. Our method outputs highly accurate 4D (spatio-temporal) point coordinates and, crucially, automatically assigns a unique label to…
While many image colorization algorithms have recently shown the capability of producing plausible color versions from gray-scale photographs, they still suffer from limited semantic understanding. To address this shortcoming, we propose to…
In this work, we present a method for tracking and learning the dynamics of all objects in a large scale robot environment. A mobile robot patrols the environment and visits the different locations one by one. Movable objects are discovered…
We propose an object tracking method, SFTrack++, that smoothly learns to preserve the tracked object consistency over space and time dimensions by taking a spectral clustering approach over the graph of pixels from the video, using a fast…
We present a method to estimate the direction and color of the scene light source from a single image. Our method is based on two main ideas: (a) we use a new synthetic dataset with strong shadow effects with similar constraints to the SID…
Semantic segmentation has attracted a large amount of attention in recent years. In robotics, segmentation can be used to identify a region of interest, or \emph{target area}. For example, in the RoboCup Standard Platform League (SPL),…
The current paradigm in privacy protection in street-view images is to detect and blur sensitive information. In this paper, we propose a framework that is an alternative to blurring, which automatically removes and inpaints moving objects…
We propose a new method for shape recognition and retrieval based on dynamic programming. Our approach uses the dynamic programming algorithm to compute the optimal score and to find the optimal alignment between two strings. First, each…
Tracking people in a video sequence is a challenging task that has been approached from many perspectives. This task becomes even more complicated when the person to track is a player in a broadcasted sport event, the reasons being the…
This paper introduces a novel perception framework that has the ability to identify and track objects in autonomous vehicle's field of view. The proposed algorithms don't require any training for achieving this goal. The framework makes use…
This paper addresses the problem of tracking in-plane waves from image sequences using periodic surface patterns. Wave-induced deformation is modeled as a spatial phase modulation of a periodic carrier. We propose ADOPT (Analytical…
This paper proposes a method for automatically monitoring and analyzing the evolution of complex geographic objects. The objects are modeled as a spatiotemporal graph, which separates filiation relations, spatial relations, and…
Reducing the number of pixels in video signals while maintaining quality needed for recovering the trace of an object using Compressive Sensing is main subject of this work. Quality of frames, from video that contains moving object, are…
