Copyright protection of image publications is an important task of forensics. In this paper, we focus on line drawings, which are represented by lines in monochrome. Since partial copies and similar copies are always applied in plagiarisms of line drawings, we propose combining the technique of object detection and image retrieval to detect similar partial copies from suspicious images: first, ...

On–board pedestrian detection is a key task in advanced driver assistance systems. It involves dealing with aspect–changing objects in cluttered environments, and working in a wide range of distances, and often relies on a classification step that labels image regions of interest as pedestrians or non–pedestrians. The performance of this classifier is a crucial issue since it represents the mos...

Ship detection has been playing a significant role in the field of remote sensing for a long time, but it is still full of challenges. The main limitations of traditional ship detection methods usually lie in the complexity of application scenarios, the difficulty of intensive object detection, and the redundancy of the detection region. In order to solve these problems above, we propose a fram...

Region-based Convolutional Neural Networks (R-CNNs) have achieved great success in the field of object detection. The existing R-CNNs usually divide a Region-of-Interest (ROI) into grids, and then localize objects by utilizing the spatial information reflected by the relative position of each grid in the ROI. In this paper, we propose a novel featureencoding approach, where spatial information ...

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Intelligent video is a new area of research fairly wide allowing to do a study, analysis, or interpretation of digital video such as motion analysis. However, for a video surveillance system, a motion analysis task of digital video includes the detection of moving objects and their tracking. The object detection allows the location of the regions of interes...

Click fraud—malicious clicks at the expense of pay-per-click advertisers—is posing a serious threat to the Internet economy. Although click fraud has attracted much attention from the security community, as the direct victims of click fraud, advertisers still lack effective defense to detect click fraud independently. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for advertisers to detect click fr...

Identifying the region of interest in a breast MRI image is a tedious manual process that would be much more suited for a computer, but it is necessary for performing useful post-processing on the image for breast cancer research and treatment. We devise such an approach following the concept that an MRI image can be sectioned into a number of contiguous regions based on pixel intensity cluster...

Object detection and segmentation represents the basis for many tasks in computer and machine vision. In biometric recognition systems the detection of the region-of-interest (ROI) is one of the most crucial steps in the overall processing pipeline, significantly impacting the performance of the entire recognition system. Existing approaches to ear detection, for example, are commonly susceptib...

A Fortify method of moving object detection is proposed in this paper. Based on color and edge geometric features, the new method can automatically organize a supervised area. First, by the color features in a real supervised scene, the method extracts several regions of interest (ROI) with noise, then matches them with geometric shape by Fourier descriptors in the database and sequentially ach...

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of a large number of sensor nodes and usually used to monitor a region of interest. The sensor nodes are very prone to damage due to low-cost design and random deployment. Additionally, faulty nodes may degrade the performance of the distributed hypothesis testing. This work addresses fault isolation in WSN where the fusion center attempts to identify...
