Vibe++ background segmentation method combining MeanShift clustering analysis and convolutional neural network by Zihao LIU, Xiaojun JIA, Sulan ZHANG, Zhiling XU, Jun ZHANG

“…To solve problems of noise points and high segmentation error for image shadow brought by traditional Vibe+ algorithm, a novel background segmentation method (Vibe++) based on the improved Vibe+ was proposed.Firstly, binarization image was acquired by using traditional Vibe+ algorithm from surveillance video.The connected regions were marked based on the region-growing domain marker method.The area threshold was obtained with difference characteristics of boundary area, the connected regions below threshold were treated as disturbing points.Secondly, five different kernel functions were introduced to improve the traditional MeanShift clustering algorithm.After improving, this algorithm was fused effectively with partitioned convolutional neural network.Finally, program of classification of trailing area, non-trailing area and trailing edge area in the resulting image was performed.Position coordinates of the trailing area were calculated and confirmed, and the trailing area was quickly deleted to obtain the final segmentation result.This segmentation accuracy was greatly improved by using the proposed method.The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can achieve segmentation accuracy of more than 98% and has good application effect and high practical value.…”

Joint channel and impulsive noise estimation method for OFDM systems by Xinrong LYU, Youming LI, Mingchen YU

“…Aiming at the impulsive noise occurring in OFDM systems,an impulsive noise mitigation algorithm based on compressed sensing theory was proposed.The proposed algorithm firstly treated the channel impulse response and the impulsive noise as a joint sparse vector by exploiting the sparsity of both them.Then the sparse Bayesian learning framework was adopted to jointly estimate the channel impulse response,the impulsive noise and the data symbols,in which the data symbols were regarded as unknown parameters.Compared with the existing impulsive noise mitigation methods,the proposed algorithm not only utilized all subcarriers but also did not use any a priori information of the channel and impulsive noise.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves significant improvement on the channel estimation and bit error rate performance.…”
