Cranes are used worldwide for transportation and material handling in a variety of industries and facilities, including manufacturing industries, shipyards, and warehouses. Safety and efficiency in crane operations are a concern, since these issues are closely related to product…
Visual object classifcation and detection are major problems in contemporary com-puter vision. State-of-art algorithms allow thousands of visual objects to be learnedand recognized, under a wide range of variations including lighting changes, occlusionand point of view etc. Howe…
Immunohistochemical (IHC) assessment in cancer research is important for understanding the distribution and localisation of biomarkers at the cellular level. However currently IHC analyses are predominantly performed manually, increasing workloads and introducing inter- and intr…
Stop-motion animation is a traditional form of animation that has been practised for over 100 years. While the unique look and feel of stop-motion animation has been retained in modern productions, the production process has been modernised to take advantage of technological adv…
For the past decade computer vision research has achieved increasing success in visual recognition including object detection and video classification. Nevertheless, these achievements still cannot meet the urgent needs of image and video understanding. The recently rapid develo…
Stereo vision from short-baseline image pairs is one of the most active research fields in computer vision. The estimation of dense disparity maps from stereo image pairs is still a challenging task and there is further space for improving accuracy, minimizing the computational …
There has been a significant number of security concerns in recent times; as a result, security cameras have been installed to monitor activities and to prevent crimes in most public places. These analysis are done either through video analytic or forensic analysis operations on…
Currently available tracking systems need some kinds of attachments on the objects to be tracked. Barcodes, RFID tags, GPS modules are a few examples of these attachments. In addition, these attachments make the object to realize that its being tracked. To overcome these limitat…
In this dissertation an optimum key point detection and extraction model is introduced and tested for computer vision applications. In particular, applications of automatic classification of synthetic similar shapes of airplanes and 3-dimensional faces are extensively explored. …
