In modern production facilities industrial robots and humans are supposed to interact sharing a common working area. In order to avoid collisions, the distances between objects need to be measured conservatively which can be done by a…

Ground texture based localization methods are potential prospects for low-cost, high-accuracy self-localization solutions for robots. These methods estimate the pose of a given query image, i.e. the current observation of the ground from a…

Artificial objects usually have very stable shape features, which are stable, persistent properties in geometry. They can provide evidence for object recognition. Shape features are more stable and more distinguishing than appearance…

This paper demonstrates a system comprised of infrared beacons and a camera equipped with an optical band-pass filter. Our system can reliably detect and identify individual beacons at 100m distance regardless of lighting conditions. We…

Anomaly detection methods can be very useful in identifying unusual or interesting patterns in data. A recently proposed conditional anomaly detection framework extends anomaly detection to the problem of identifying anomalous patterns on a…

In this paper we propose a geometry-aware model for video object detection. Specifically, we consider the setting that cameras can be well approximated as static, e.g. in video surveillance scenarios, and scene pseudo depth maps can…

Learning to recognize pedestrian attributes at far distance is a challenging problem in visual surveillance since face and body close-shots are hardly available; instead, only far-view image frames of pedestrian are given. In this study, we…

Conservation agriculture features a soil surface covered with crop residues, which brings benefits of improving soil health and saving water. However, one significant challenge in conservation agriculture lies in precisely controlling the…

Background modeling techniques are used for moving object detection in video. Many algorithms exist in the field of object detection with different purposes. In this paper, we propose an improvement of moving object detection based on…

Object detection in optical remote sensing images, being a fundamental but challenging problem in the field of aerial and satellite image analysis, plays an important role for a wide range of applications and is receiving significant…

The ability to identify the static background in videos captured by a moving camera is an important pre-requisite for many video applications (e.g. video stabilization, stitching, and segmentation). Existing methods usually face…

This paper proposes a theoretical framework for estimating a target-object shape, the location of which is not given, by using mobile distance sensors the locations of which are also unknown. Typically, mobile sensors are mounted on…

Object detection is a fundamental task in computer vision and has many applications in image processing. This paper proposes a new approach for object detection by applying scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) in an automatic…

Transportation distances have been used for more than a decade now in machine learning to compare histograms of features. They have one parameter: the ground metric, which can be any metric between the features themselves. As is the case…

Existing approaches for image-based Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) have been evaluated on images captured in well-controlled scenarios. However, real-world meter reading presents unconstrained scenarios that are way more challenging due to…

Near-field perception is essential for the safe operation of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in manufacturing environments. Conventional ranging sensors such as light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and ultrasonic devices provide broad…

This paper proposes a method of estimating a target-object shape, the location of which is unknown, through the use of location-unknown mobile distance sensors. The direction of the sensor is fixed from the moving direction. Typically,…

Distance metric learning can be viewed as one of the fundamental interests in pattern recognition and machine learning, which plays a pivotal role in the performance of many learning methods. One of the effective methods in learning such a…

Image recognition is the need of the hour. In order to be able to recognize an image, it is of immense importance that the image should be distinguishable from the background. In the present work, an approach is presented for automatic…

While most recent autonomous driving system focuses on developing perception methods on ego-vehicle sensors, people tend to overlook an alternative approach to leverage intelligent roadside cameras to extend the perception ability beyond…
