A dynamic object tracking system of industrial robots based on visual servoing technology by Yichao MAO, Qi LU

“…Visual servoing technology has high potential in many industrial applications.Conventionally,precise servoing is often achieved by using high-resolution cameras which are usually costly and unaffordable in many of industrial scenarios.A novel visual servoing control scheme which generates robot control signal based on the fusion of visual feedback and robot motion feedback was presented in the paper.By doing so,the robot control loop runs at a frequency independent to the visual feedback frequency (i.e.the frame rate of a camera).Therefore,it becomes feasible to achieve precise and dynamic servoing even with a low frame rate and low-cost camera.The new visual servoing scheme was introduced briefly.The feasibility of the scheme as well as its performances in low frame rate conditions was also illustrated experimentally.…”

Scalable video coding algorithm based on 3D hybrid tree and visual characteristics by Ming-zhe FU, Xiang-hai WANG, Chuan-ming SONG

“…The distribution characteristic of three-dimensional wavelet coefficients of video data was ana ed,and a scalable video coding algorithm was subsequently addressed based on hybrid three-dimensional tree and human visual system (HVS) characteristics.First,the hybrid tree structure was adaptively determined according to the auto-correlation of low-pass and high-pass coefficients.It reduced obviously the number of ion bits locating significant wavelet coefficients when scanning and processing low-pass and high-pass coefficients in temporal dimension.Second,each wavelet coefficient was weighted in terms of HVS sensitivity to its corresponding subband.Significant coefficients thus tended to be coded with high priority and arranged at the front of bitstream,and the reconstructed video quality was improved at low and medium bitrates to a great extent.Experimental results in terms of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) verified the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm on several test videos with varying characteristics.0.65dB,1.75dB,and 1.77dB higher PSNR are gained than asymmetric 3-D orientation tree for Y,U,and V components,respectively.Moreover,0.23dB,2.11dB,and 1.72dB higher PSNR are reached than single temporal-spatial orientation tree separately for Y,U,and V components.Besides,better subjective quality is obtained through effectively attenuating ringing artifact.…”

Robust image hashing method from global perception features of human visual cortex by SUN Rui1, YAN Xiao-xing2, GAO Jun1

“…Firstly,the image was filtered low-passly and re-scaled to fixed size.Then the image was divided into key-dependent overlapping blocks.According to the hierarchical structure of HVS primary visual cortex,directional contour responses were extracted through layer-by-layer processing of visual pathway,and global perception features could be obtained by associating with the surface color of each blocks.These features included image direction and color information.The relation of adjacent entries was invariant to ordinary image processing.It could be used to quantize and permute these feature to get the binary image hash.Test results indicate that the proposed method is robust against con-tent-preserving modifications such as JPEG compression and filtering,at the same time,is capable of localizing image malicious tampering.Hashes of different images have very low collision probability.…”

Wandering around: a bioinspired approach to visual attention through object motion sensitivity by Giulia D’Angelo, Victoria Clerico, Chiara Bartolozzi, Matej Hoffmann, P Michael Furlong, Alexander Hadjiivanov

“…Event-based cameras, inspired by the mammalian retina, further enhance this capability by capturing asynchronous scene changes, enabling efficient, low-latency processing. To distinguish moving objects while the event-based camera is also in motion, the agent requires an object motion segmentation mechanism to accurately detect targets and position them at the centre of the visual field (fovea). …”
