Complex reflectance phenomena such as specular reflections confound many vision problems since they produce image ‘features’
that do not correspond directly to intrinsic surface properties such as shape and spectral reflectance. A common approach
to mitigate these effects is to explore functions of an image that are invariant to these photometric events. In this paper
we describe a class of such invariants that result from exploiting color information in images of dichromatic surfaces. These
invariants are derived from illuminant-dependent ‘subspaces’ of RGB color space, and they enable the application of Lambertian-based
vision techniques to a broad class of specular, non-Lambertian scenes. Using implementations of recent algorithms taken from
the literature, we demonstrate the practical utility of these invariants for a wide variety of applications, including stereo,
shape from shading, photometric stereo, material-based segmentation, and motion estimation. 相似文献

Object recognition requires robust and stable features that are unique in feature space. Lie group analysis provides a constructive procedure to determine such features, called invariants, when they exist. Absolute invariants are rare in general, so quasi-invariants relax the restrictions required for absolute invariants and, potentially, can be just as useful in real-world applications. The paper develops the concept of a dominant-subspace invariant, a particular type of quasi-invariant, using the theory of Lie groups. A constructive algorithm is provided that fundamentally seeks to determine an integral submanifold which, in practice, is a good approximation to the orbit of the Lie group action. This idea is applied to the long-wave infrared problem and experimental results are obtained supporting the approach. Other application areas are cited 相似文献

Geometric and illumination invariants for object recognition 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Alferez R. Yuan-Fang Wang 《IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence》1999,21(6):505-536
We propose invariant formulations that can potentially be combined into a single system. In particular, we describe a framework for computing invariant features which are insensitive to rigid motion, affine transform, changes of parameterization and scene illumination, perspective transform, and view point change. This is unlike most current research on image invariants which concentrates on either geometric or illumination invariants exclusively. The formulations are widely applicable to many popular basis representations, such as wavelets, short-time Fourier analysis, and splines. Exploiting formulations that examine information about shape and color at different resolution levels, the new approach is neither strictly global nor local. It enables a quasi-localized, hierarchical shape analysis which is rarely found in other known invariant techniques, such as global invariants. Furthermore, it does not require estimating high-order derivatives in computing invariants (unlike local invariants), whence is more robust. We provide results of numerous experiments on both synthetic and real data to demonstrate the validity and flexibility of the proposed framework 相似文献

Generalised color moments combine shape and color information and put them on an equal footing. Rational expressions of such moments can be designed, that are invariant under both geometric deformations and photometric changes. These generalised color moment invariants are effective features for recognition under changing viewpoint and illumination. The paper gives a systematic overview of such moment invariants for several combinations of deformations and photometric changes. Their validity and potential is corroborated through a series of experiments. Both the cases of indoor and outdoor images are considered, as illumination changes tend to differ between these circumstances. Although the generalised color moment invariants are extracted from planar surface patches, it is argued that invariant neighbourhoods offer a concept through which they can also be used to deal with 3D objects and scenes. 相似文献

We present the construction of combined blur and rotation moment invariants in arbitrary number of dimensions. Moment invariants to convolution with an arbitrary centrosymmetric filter are derived first, and then their rotationally invariant forms are found by means of group representation theory to achieve the desired combined invariance. Several examples of the invariants are calculated explicitly to illustrate the proposed procedure. Their invariance, robustness, and capability of using in template matching and in image registration are demonstrated on 3D MRI data and 2D indoor images. 相似文献

An adaptive image segmentation scheme is proposed employing the Delaunay triangulation for image splitting. The tessellation grid of the Delaunay triangulation is adapted to the semantics of the image data by combining region and edge information. To achieve robustness against imaging conditions (e.g. shading, shadows, illumination and highlights), photometric invariant similarity measures and edge computation are proposed. Experimental results on synthetic and real images show that the segmentation method is robust to edge orientation, partially weak object boundaries and noisy-but-homogeneous regions. Furthermore, the method is robust, to a large degree, to varying imaging conditions 相似文献

Model-based recognition of 3D objects from single images 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this work, we treat major problems of object recognition which have received relatively little attention lately. Among them are the loss of depth information in the projection from a 3D object to a single 2D image, and the complexity of finding feature correspondences between images. We use geometric invariants to reduce the complexity of these problems. There are no geometric invariants of a projection from 3D to 2D. However, given certain modeling assumptions about the 3D object, such invariants can be found. The modeling assumptions can be either a particular model or a generic assumption about a class of models. Here, we use such assumptions for single-view recognition. We find algebraic relations between the invariants of a 3D model and those of its 2D image under general projective projection. These relations can be described geometrically as invariant models in a 3D invariant space, illuminated by invariant “light rays,” and projected onto an invariant version of the given image. We apply the method to real images 相似文献

There are three projective invariants of a set of six points in general position in space. It is well known that these invariants cannot be recovered from one image, however an invariant relationship does exist between space invariants and image invariants. This invariant relationship is first derived for a single image. Then this invariant relationship is used to derive the space invariants, when multiple images are available. This paper establishes that the minimum number of images for computing these invariants is three, and the computation of invariants of six points from three images can have as many as three solutions. Algorithms are presented for computing these invariants in closed form. The accuracy and stability with respect to image noise, selection of the triplets of images and distance between viewing positions are studied both through real and simulated images. Applications of these invariants are also presented. Both the results of Faugeras (1992) and Hartley et al. (1992) for projective reconstruction and Sturm's method (1869) for epipolar geometry determination from two uncalibrated images with at least seven points are extended to the case of three uncalibrated images with only six points 相似文献

Illumination invariance remains one of the most researched, yet the most challenging aspect of automatic face recognition. In this paper the discriminative power of colour-based invariants is investigated in the presence of large illumination changes between training and query data, when appearance changes due to cast shadows and non-Lambertian effects are significant. Specifically, there are three main contributions: (i) a general photometric model of the camera is described and it is shown how its parameters can be estimated from realistic video input of pseudo-random head motion, (ii) several novel colour-based face invariants are derived for different special instances of the camera model, and (iii) the performance of the largest number of colour-based representations in the literature is evaluated and analysed on a database of 700 video sequences. The reported results suggest that: (i) colour invariants do have a substantial discriminative power which may increase the robustness and accuracy of recognition from low resolution images in extreme illuminations, and (ii) that the non-linearities of the general photometric camera model have a significant effect on recognition performance. This highlights the limitations of previous work and emphasizes the need to assess face recognition performance using training and query data which had been captured by different acquisition equipment. 相似文献

Degraded image analysis: an invariant approach 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Analysis and interpretation of an image which was acquired by a nonideal imaging system is the key problem in many application areas. The observed image is usually corrupted by blurring, spatial degradations, and random noise. Classical methods like blind deconvolution try to estimate the blur parameters and to restore the image. We propose an alternative approach. We derive the features for image representation which are invariant with respect to blur regardless of the degradation PSF provided that it is centrally symmetric. As we prove in the paper, there exist two classes of such features: the first one in the spatial domain and the second one in the frequency domain. We also derive so-called combined invariants, which are invariant to composite geometric and blur degradations. Knowing these features, we can recognize objects in the degraded scene without any restoration 相似文献

The determination of invariant characteristics is an important problem in pattern recognition. In many situations, images to be processed are usually subjected to geometric distortion and/or blur degradation. In this paper, we introduce an approach to derive blur and affine combined invariants (BAI). Firstly, we normalize the image to a standard form by using blur invariant moments as normalization constraints. Then, we construct the blur and affine combined invariants at the standard form. Using the method proposed in this paper, a set of blur and affine combined invariant features can be obtained easily and effectively. Several experimental results are presented to illustrate the performance of the invariants for simultaneously affine deformed and blur degraded images. 相似文献
