A Robust Vehicle Tracking Approach using Mean Shift Procedure

by Shen Huan, Li Shun Ming, Mao Jian Guo, Bo Fang Chao, Li Fang Pei, Zhou Hua Peng
"... Object tracking using vision technology is one of the key but complex functions in navigation system of Intelligent Vehicles; it became more difficult in case of there are partial occlusions and significant clutter. A mean shift embedded approach is presents for vehicle tracking under real road scen ..."

Mean shift: A robust approach toward feature space analysis

by Dorin Comaniciu, Peter Meer - In PAMI , 2002
"... A general nonparametric technique is proposed for the analysis of a complex multimodal feature space and to delineate arbitrarily shaped clusters in it. The basic computational module of the technique is an old pattern recognition procedure, the mean shift. We prove for discrete data the convergence ..."

IDENTIFICATION OF IMAGE STRUCTURE BY THE MEAN SHIFT PROCEDURE FOR HIERARCHICAL MRF-BASED IMAGE SEGMENTATION

by R. Gaetano, et al. , 2006
"... Tree-structured Markov random fields have been recently proposed in order to model complex images and to allow for their fast and accurate segmentation. By modeling the image as a tree of regions and subregions, the original K-ary segmentation problem can be recast as a sequence of reduced-dimension ..."

to have a different number of children, and also propose a simple technique to estimate such a structure based on the mean shift procedure. Experiments on synthetic images prove the structure estimation procedure to be quite effective, and the ensuing segmentation to be more accurate than in the binary

Mean shift, mode seeking, and clustering

by Yizong Cheng - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE , 1995
"... Mean shift, a simple iterative procedure that shifts each data point to the average of data points in its neighborhood, is generalized and analyzed in this paper. This generalization makes some k-means like clustering algorithms its special cases. It is shown that mean shift is a mode-seeking proce ..."

Real-Time Tracking of Non-Rigid Objects using Mean Shift

by Dorin Comaniciu, Visvanathan Ramesh, Peter Meer - IEEE CVPR 2000 , 2000
"... A new method for real-time tracking of non-rigid objects seen from a moving camera isproposed. The central computational module is based on the mean shift iterations and nds the most probable target position in the current frame. The dissimilarity between the target model (its color distribution) an ..."

Kernel-Based Object Tracking

by Dorin Comaniciu, Visvanathan Ramesh, Peter Meer , 2003
"... A new approach toward target representation and localization, the central component in visual tracking of non-rigid objects, is proposed. The feature histogram based target representations are regularized by spatial masking with an isotropic kernel. The masking induces spatially-smooth similarity fu ..."
Abstract - Cited by 900 (4 self) - Add to MetaCart
functions suitable for gradient-based optimization, hence, the target localization problem can be formulated using the basin of attraction of the local maxima. We employ a metric derived from the Bhattacharyya coefficient as similarity measure, and use the mean shift procedure to perform the optimization

The complexity of theorem-proving procedures

by Stephen A. Cook - IN STOC , 1971
"... It is shown that any recognition problem solved by a polynomial time-bounded nondeterministic Turing machine can be “reduced” to the problem of determining whether a given propositional formula is a tautology. Here “reduced ” means, roughly speaking, that the first problem can be solved deterministi ..."

A method of measuring the complexity of proof procedures for the predicate calculus is introduced and discussed. Throughout this paper, a set of strings 1 means a set of strings on some fixed, large, finite

The Skill Content of Recent Technological Change: An Empirical Exploration

by David H. Autor, Frank Levy, Richard J. Murnane , 2000
"... Recent empirical and case study evidence documents a strong association between the adoption of computers and increased use of college educated or non-production workers. With few exceptions, the conceptual link explaining how computer technology complements skilled labor or substitutes for unskille ..."

for unskilled labor is less well developed. In this paper, we apply an understanding of what computers do – the execution of procedural or rules-based logic – to develop a simple model of how the widespread adoption of computers in the workplace might alter workplace skill demands. An essential contention

Learning to predict by the methods of temporal differences

This article introduces a class of incremental learning procedures specialized for prediction – that is, for using past experience with an incompletely known system to predict its future behavior. Whereas conventional prediction-learning methods assign credit by means of the difference between predi ..."
