  1. Computer Vision and Data Mining Research Projects Longin Jan Latecki Computer and Information Sciences Dept. Temple University latecki@temple.edu

  2. Research Projects • Object detection and recognition in images • Improving ranking of search queries • Motion and activity detection in videos • Merging laser range maps of multiple robots

  3. Object detection and recognition based on contour parts • Often only parts of objects are visible in images • We can detect and recognize such objects in edge images by performing contour grouping with shape similarity Edge image Detected object

  4. Algorithmic overview

  5. Methodology • Probabilistic approaches are needed to address noisy sensor information in robot perception. • We use Rao-Blackwellized particle filtering that has been successfully applied to solve the robot mapping problem (SLAM). • We use medial axis (skeleton) as our shape representation. • Supported by DOE, NNSA, NA-22 • NSF, Computer Vision Program

  6. Sample evolution of particles Iteration 2 Iteration 10 Iteration 14 Iteration 18

  7. Experimental results Swan model Bird model Bottle model Reference models

  8. Applications:Analysis of aerial and satellite images,in particular object and change detection Supported by LANL, RADIUS: Rapid Automated Decomposition of Images for Ubiquitous Sensing, PI: Lakshman Prasad, LANL

  9. detected parts of contours the original aerial image detected structures of interest at three different scales (in maroon).

  10. Motion and activity detection in videos Object and activity detection results Videos are obtained from the Temple University Police video surveillance system. Methodology: We use PCA to learn local background textures, and detect motion by analysisof texture trajectories. Many Video Surveillance Applications, e.g.,: Detection of moving objects and detection of abandon objects, e.g., around power plants

  11. Human detection in infrared images and videos

  12. Improving ranking for similarity queries original improved query original improved

  13. Improving ranking in face profile retrieval Original retrieval query Improved retrieval Methodology: We use semi-supervised manifold learning to learn new distancesin the manifold spanned by the training data set. Further applications: This methods makes it possible to improve ranking of any queriesfrom images through text to concepts.

  14. Merging maps of multiple robots Prior based on motion model • Our motion model is based on structure registration process between local maps which results in multi-modal prior. Prior in odometry based motion model Prior in our structure registration based motion model

  15. Experimental results Dataset: NIST Maze data set Merged global map Sample individual local maps
