基于后验概率度量的粒子滤波跟踪算法研究

 针对遮挡、光照变化、尺度变化等复杂环境中的视觉跟踪问题,提出一种基于后验概率度量的粒子滤波跟踪算法。由于后验概率指标与Bhattacharyya系数指标相比具有更强的峰值特性,采用后验概率指标作为相似性度量函数,通过粒子的更新、推广、观测、估计等步骤实现跟踪算法。通过对实际视频图像序列进行目标跟踪实验,实验结果表明:传统算法只有约50%的图像能够实现尺度自适应,而本文算法采用传统算法25%的粒子就能够收敛逼近目标的真实轨迹,达到更强的抗遮挡能力,90%以上的图像序列都能够实现良好的尺度自适应效果。

Error estimation in measuring strain fields with DIC on planar sheet metal specimens with a non-perpendicular camera alignment

The determination of strain fields based on displacement components obtained via 2D-DIC is subject to several errors that originate from various sources. In this contribution, we study the impact of a non-perpendicular camera alignment to a planar sheet metal specimen's surface. The errors are estimated in a numerical experiment. To this purpose, deformed images - that were obtained by imposing finite element (FE) displacement fields on an undeformed image - are numerically rotated for various Euler angles. It is shown that a 3D-DIC stereo configuration induces a substantial compensation for the introduced image-plane displacement gradients. However, higher strain accuracy and precision are obtained - up to the level of a perfect perpendicular alignment - in a proposed “rectified” 2D-DIC setup. This compensating technique gains benefit from both 2D-DIC (single camera view, basic amount of correlation runs, no cross-camera matching nor triangulation) and 3D-DIC (oblique angle compensation). Our conclusions are validated in a real experiment on SS304.     

Defocus and binocular vision based stereo particle pairing method for 3D particle tracking velocimetry

We propose a new method, based on the depth-from-defocus technique and binocular vision, for solving the stereo particle pairing problem in 3D particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). Firstly, the apparent particle depth is measured with a single camera, using the depth-from-defocus technique. Secondly, a strict mathematical model of the particle-to-particle correspondence relationship between the left and right images, taking into account the refractions at the interfaces in the optical path, is presented, with the assumption that the apparent particle depth is measured. Thirdly, based on the apparent particle depth and particle-to-particle correspondence relationship, the epipoplar line is truncated into a short line segment by cutting off, where the apparent particle depth extends beyond its estimated range. For the first time, the range of the blur circle radius is employed as an additional stereo particle pairing constraint. Finally, the optimal pairing particle is selected by applying the epipolar line segment and blur circle radius constraints. The experimental results show that the rate of correct pairing is significantly improved compared with the epipolar line nearest neighbor analysis, especially when the particle density is increasing.

Cheating in Visual Cryptography

A secret sharing scheme allows a secret to be shared among a set of participants, P, such that only authorized subsets of P can recover the secret, but any unauthorized subset cannot recover the secret. In 1995, Naor and Shamir proposed a variant of secret sharing, called visual cryptography, where the shares given to participants are xeroxed onto transparencies. If X is an authorized subset of P, then the participants in X can visually recover the secret image by stacking their transparencies together without performing any computation. In this paper, we address the issue of cheating by dishonest participants, called cheaters, in visual cryptography. The experimental results demonstrate that cheating is possible when the cheaters form a coalition in order to deceive honest participants. We also propose two simple cheating prevention visual cryptographic schemes.     

A correlative classifiers approach based on particle filter and sample set for tracking occluded target

Target tracking is one of the most important issues in computer vision and has been applied in many fields of science, engineering and industry. Because of the occlusion during tracking, typical approaches with single classifier learn much of occluding background information which results in the decrease of tracking performance, and eventually lead to the failure of the tracking algorithm. This paper presents a new correlative classifiers approach to address the above problem. Our idea is to derive a group of correlative classifiers based on sample set method. Then we propose strategy to establish the classifiers and to query the suitable classifiers for the next frame tracking. In order to deal with nonlinear problem, particle filter is adopted and integrated with sample set method. For choosing the target from candidate particles, we define a similarity measurement between particles and sample set. The proposed sample set method includes the following steps. First, we cropped positive samples set around the target and negative samples set far away from the target. Second, we extracted average Haar-like feature from these samples and calculate their statistical characteristic which represents the target model. Third, we define the similarity measurement based on the statistical characteristic of these two sets to judge the similarity between candidate particles and target model. Finally, we choose the largest similarity score particle as the target in the new frame. A number of experiments show the robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach when compared with other state-of-the-art trackers.     

Suspension settings for optimal ride comfort of off-road vehicles travelling on roads with different roughness and speeds

This paper reports on an investigation to determine the spring and damper settings that will ensure optimal ride comfort of an off-road vehicle, on different road profiles and at different speeds. These settings are required for the design of a four stage semi-active hydro-pneumatic spring damper suspension system (4S₄). Spring and damper settings in the 4S₄ can be set either to the ride mode or the handling mode and therefore a compromise ride-handling suspension is avoided. The extent to which the ride comfort optimal suspension settings vary for roads of different roughness and varying speeds and the levels of ride comfort that can be achieved, are addressed. The issues of the best objective function to be used when optimising and if a single road profile and speed can be used as representative conditions for ride comfort optimisation of semi-active suspensions, are dealt with. Optimisation is performed with the Dynamic-Q algorithm on a Land Rover Defender 110 modelled in MSC.ADAMS software for speeds ranging from 10 to 50 km/h. It is found that optimising for a combined driver plus rear passenger seat weighted root mean square vertical acceleration rather than using driver or passenger values only, returns the best results. Results indicate that optimisation of suspension settings using one road and speed will improve ride comfort on the same road at different speeds. These settings will also improve ride comfort for other roads at the optimisation speed and other speeds, although not as much as when optimisation has been done for the particular road. For improved ride comfort damping generally has to be lower than the standard (compromised) setting, the rear spring as soft as possible and the front spring ranging from as soft as possible to stiffer depending on road and speed conditions. Ride comfort is most sensitive to a change in rear spring stiffness.
