A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene and is seen to offer equal or superior performance to contemporary techniques at a relatively low-computational cost.
Abstract
A new transform is presented that utilizes local radial symmetry to highlight points of interest within a scene. Its low-computational complexity and fast runtimes makes this method well-suited for real-time vision applications. The performance of the transform is demonstrated on a wide variety of images and compared with leading techniques from the literature. Both as a facial feature detector and as a generic region of interest detector the new transform is seen to offer equal or superior performance to contemporary techniques at a relatively low-computational cost. A real-time implementation of the transform is presented running at over 60 frames per second on a standard Pentium III PC.

Cerebral microbleed segmentation from susceptibility weighted images

TL;DR: This paper proposes a fully automatic, example-based method to segment CMBs from susceptibility-weighted (SWI) scans, where examples from an already segmented template SWI image are used to detect C MBs in a new image.

A framework for driver-in-the-loop driver assistance systems

TL;DR: This paper presents a framework for driver-in-the-loop driver assistance systems and demonstrates a complete system capable of reading speed signs in real-time, comparing the driver gaze, and providing immediate feedback to the driver if the sign has not been noted by the driver.

On Criminal Identification in Color Skin Images Using Skin Marks (RPPVSM) and Fusion With Inferred Vein Patterns

TL;DR: This is the first work on automated identification in color skin images based on nonfacial skin marks and fusion with inferred vein patterns in forensic settings, and shows that the fusion improves vein identification in all body parts with improvement rates varying between 2% and 5% depending on the number of RPPVSM detected.

Use of the Hough transformation to detect lines and curves in pictures

TL;DR: It is pointed out that the use of angle-radius rather than slope-intercept parameters simplifies the computation further, and how the method can be used for more general curve fitting.

Algorithms for defining visual regions-of-interest: comparison with eye fixations

TL;DR: This paper investigates and develops a methodology that serves to automatically identify a subset of aROIs (algorithmically detected ROIs) using different image processing algorithms (IPAs), and appropriate clustering procedures, and compares hROIs with hROI as a criterion for evaluating and selecting bottom-up, context-free algorithms.

Context-free attentional operators: the generalized symmetry transform

TL;DR: An attention operator based on the intuitive notion of symmetry, which generalized many of the existing methods of detecting regions of interest is presented, a low-level operator that can be applied successfully without a priori knowledge of the world.
