Dempster’s Rule is commonly described as an operator for fusing beliefs. While there are different possible interpretations of belief fusion, there is considerable confusion regarding the exact type of belief fusion that Dempster’s rule performs. Many alternative operators for belief fusion have been proposed, where some are based on the same fundamental principle as Dempster’s rule, and others...

In this paper a new method for multi-frame Super-Resolution is proposed. Having a low resolution(LR) video and a few high resolution(HR) images from a specific scene is frequently occurred. In addition it is usual that between images and video frames there is some differences, because of different of exposure time, moving objects, camera movement and so on. In the proposed method a Super-Resolu...

A method of video flame detection based on multi-feature fusion is presented in this paper. Physical characteristics of flame, including color clues, flame movement and flame flicker are incorporated into the scheme to detect fires in color video frames. Firstly, mean filtering was used to smooth the video frames and a flame color filtering algorithm was adopted to extract flame candidate regio...

In this paper an optimal framework for summarization of stereoscopic video sequences is presented, which extracts a meaningful set of video frames. Each sequence is first partitioned into shots, the disparity field, occluded areas and depth map are estimated and then a hierarchical color and depth segmentation scheme is applied to each shot, based on a multiresolution implementation of the RSST...

Indirect ophthalmoscopy (IO) is the standard of care for evaluation of the neonatal retina. When recorded on video from a head-mounted camera, IO images have low quality and narrow Field of View (FOV). We present an image fusion methodology for converting a video IO recording into a single, high quality, wide-FOV mosaic that seamlessly blends the best frames in the video. To this end, we have d...

In this paper we study two aspects of decision fusion for enhancing face authentication. First, sequential fusion of scores obtained on successive video frames of a user’s face is used to reduce the error rate. Secondly, the opinions of several face authentication algorithms are combined so that the combined decision is more accurate than the best algorithm alone. The experiments performed on a...

This paper presents a regularized image sequence interpolation algorithm, which can restore high frequency details by fusing low-resolution frames. Image fusion algorithm gives the feasibility of using di erent data sets, which correspond to the same scene to get a better resolution and information of the scene than the one obtained using only one data set. Based on the mathematical model of im...

We have developed an algorithm for automated detection of the dynamic pattern characterizing flashes of fluorescence in video images of membrane fusion. The algorithm detects the spatially localized, transient increases and decreases in brightness that result from the dequenching of fluorescent dye in phospholipid vesicles or lipid-enveloped virions fusing with a planar membrane. The flash is i...
