This chapter has explored a number of techniques in vision based tracking, with the common theme of continuous relearning of models of the background and the tracked

Wide field of view is the most attractive feature of the omnidirectional vision. There exist two approaches to omnidirectional stereo imaging with a single camera. They use: (1) a double lobed mirror (Fiala & Basu, ...

All the clustering methods presented in this chapter tend to generalize bi-dimensional procedures initially developed for image processing purpose. Among them, thresholding, edge detection, probabilistic relaxation, ...

A novel method for the indoor localisation of a target was presented in this chapter. This method is based on measuring the number of the digital infrared patterns received by the target in a specific time interval (success ...

This chapter presented a new way of parameterizing the homography, which leads to a new approach of projective rectification for stereo images. Compared with the previous works, the novelty of this new algorithm is that ...

In this chapter, we have proposed a learning approach for three major issues of image segmentation: context adaptation, algorithm selection and parameter tuning according to the image content and the application need. This ...
