Background modeling is a key step of background subtraction methods used in the context
of static camera. The goal is to obtain a clean background and then detect moving objects by …

In this paper, we propose an effective technique that is used to automatically detect fire in
video images. The proposed algorithm is composed of four stages:(1) an adaptive Gaussian …

The exponential growth of surveillance videos presents an unprecedented challenge for
high-efficiency surveillance video coding technology. Compared with the existing coding …

In this work, we study how continuous video monitoring and intelligent video processing can
be used in eldercare to assist the independent living of elders and to improve the efficiency …

We describe the architecture and design of a through-the-wall radar. The radar is applied for
the detection and localization of people hidden behind obstacles. It implements a new …

Detection of moving objects is the first step in many applications using video sequences like
video-surveillance, optical motion capture and multimedia application. The process mainly …

The key obstacle to communicating images over wireless sensor networks has been the lack
of suitable processing architecture and communication strategies to deal with the large …

A method and an apparatus for bi-layer segmentation of an image or a sequence of images
are described. A classifier is derived based on depth data of the image and another …

Image matting refers to extracting precise alpha matte from natural images, and it plays a
critical role in various downstream applications, such as image editing. Despite being an ill …

Given the increasing amount of time people spent on driving, the physical and mental health
of drivers is essential to road safety. Breathing patterns are critical indicators of the well …
