Being able to cover a wide range of views, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras have been widely deployed in visual surveillance systems. To achieve a global-view perception of a surveillance scene, it is necessary to generate its panoramic background image, which can be used for the subsequent applications such as road segmentation, active tracking, and so on.

Numerical Reflectance Compensation for Non-Lambertian Photometric Stereo

The surface normal estimation from photometric stereo becomes less reliable when the surface reflectance deviates from the Lambertian assumption. The non-Lambertian effect can be explicitly addressed by physics modeling to the reflectance function, at the cost of introducing highly nonlinear optimization.

An ADMM Approach to Masked Signal Decomposition Using Subspace Representation

Signal decomposition is a classical problem in signal processing, which aims to separate an observed signal into two or more components, each with its own property. Usually, each component is described by its own subspace or dictionary. Extensive research has been done for the case where the components are additive, but in real-world applications, the components are often non-additive.

Base-Anchored Model for Highly Scalable and Accessible Compression of Multiview Imagery

We present a compression scheme for multiview imagery that facilitates high scalability and accessibility of the compressed content. Our scheme relies upon constructing at a single base view, a disparity model for a group of views, and then utilizing this base-anchored model to infer disparity at all views belonging to the group.

New Hole-Filling Method Using Extrapolated Spatio-Temporal Background Information for a Synthesized Free-View

The problem of authenticating a re-sampled image has been investigated over many years. Currently, however, little research proposes a statistical model-based test, resulting in that statistical performance of the resampling detector could not be completely analyzed. To fill the gap, we utilize a parametric model to expose the traces of resampling forgery, which is described with the distribution of residual noise.

An Adaptive Triangular Partition Algorithm for Digital Images Xixi Yuan ; Zhanchuan Cai

The partition algorithm as a digital image processing technique is significant to many applications, such as data encryption, image denoising, and 3-D reconstruction. In order to achieve well partition that can availably reduce the distortion phenomenon, a novel approach named image adaptive triangular partition (IATP) is proposed, which considers the grayscale distribution of the image and removes...

Dual Pursuit for Subspace Learning

In general, low-rank representation (LRR) aims to find the lowest rank representation with respect to a dictionary. In fact, the dictionary is a key aspect of low-rank representation. However, a lot of low-rank representation methods usually use the data itself as a dictionary (i.e., a fixed dictionary), which may degrade their performances due to the lack of clustering ability of a fixed dictionary.

Distortion Design for Secure Adaptive 3-D Mesh Steganography

We propose a novel technique for steganography on 3-D meshes so as to resist steganalysis. The majority of existing methods modulate vertex coordinates to embed messages in a nonadaptive way. We take account of complexity of local regions as joint distortion of a triple unit (vertice) and coding method such as syndrome trellis codes to adaptively embed messages, which owns stronger security with respect to existing steganalysis.
