A Constrained Sparse Representation Model for Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 2019Co-Authors: Qiang Ling, Wei AnAbstract:In this paper, we propose a novel sparsity-based algorithm for anomaly detection in hyperspectral imagery. The algorithm is based on the concept that a Background Pixel can be approximately represented as a sparse linear combination of its spatial neighbors while an anomaly Pixel cannot if the anomalies are removed from its neighborhood. To be physically meaningful, the sum-to-one and nonnegativity constraints are imposed to abundance vector based on the linear mixture model, and the upper bound constraint on sparsity level is removed for better recovery of the test Pixel. First, the proposed method utilizes the redundant Background information to automatically remove anomalies from the Background dictionary. Then, the reconstruction error obtained by the new Background dictionary is directly used for anomaly detection. Moreover, a kernel version of the proposed method is also derived to completely exploit the nonlinear feature of hyperspectral data. An important advantage of the proposed methods is their capability to adaptively model the Background even when some anomaly Pixels are involved. Extensive experiments have been conducted on three real hyperspectral data sets. It is demonstrated that the proposed detectors achieve a promising detection performance with a relatively low computational cost.

A Constrained Sparse-Representation-Based Binary Hypothesis Model for Target Detection in Hyperspectral Imagery
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2019Co-Authors: Qiang Ling, Wei AnAbstract:In this paper, we propose a novel constrained sparse-representation-based binary hypothesis model for target detection in hyperspectral imagery. This model is based on the concept that a target Pixel can only be linearly represented by the union dictionary combined by the Background dictionary and target dictionary, while a Background Pixel can be linearly represented by both the Background dictionary and the union dictionary. To be physically meaningful, the non-negativity constraint is imposed to the weight vector. To suppress the target signals in the Background dictionary, the upper bound constraint is also imposed to the weight vector. These upper bounds are adaptively estimated by the similarities between the atoms in the Background dictionary and target. Then, the weight vectors under different hypotheses are recovered by a fast coordinate descent method. Finally, both the residual difference and weight difference between the two hypotheses are used to perform the target detection. An important advantage of the proposed method is the robustness to varying target contamination. Extensive experiments conducted on real and synthetic hyperspectral datasets have demonstrated the superiority of the proposed detector in detection performance and computational cost. Specifically, for the Avon dataset, our method achieves the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of 99.91%, and achieves the shortest runtime of 109.76 s.

ICPR (1) - Document Image Binarization Based on Stroke Enhancement
18th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'06), 2006Co-Authors: Chunheng WangAbstract:This paper proposes a novel document image binarization approach based on stroke neighborhood enhancement. First, foreground Pixels are initially labeled. Then, the strokes are enhanced based on their neighborhood information which include gradient information and foreground-Background Pixel distances of foreground Pixels and their neighboring Background Pixels. At last, the enhanced image is finally binarized. This approach can provide good result for those document images suffering from lighting variance, low resolution and blurring.

Spatio-temporal Whitening of Imaging Sensor Data Streams Using Three-Dimensional Linear Prediction
2008 Digital Image Computing: Techniques and Applications, 2008Co-Authors: Hugh L. KennedyAbstract:A three-dimensional whitening filter based on linear prediction is described. It is designed to remove textured Backgrounds, with spatial and temporal correlation, in data streams acquired from imaging electro-optic sensors operating in visible, Ultra-Violet (UV) or Infra-Red (IR) bands. The Background is modeled as an Auto-Regressive (AR) process. The operation of the filter is examined using real images of ocean waves obtained using a video camera with a synthetic, dim, sub-Pixel target, inserted. Optimal filter parameters are determined using Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROCs). The output of the whitener is filtered using a Probabilistic Data Association (PDA) filter with automatic track initiation. The whitener/tracker combination yields an average true-track confirmation delay of 0.303 s when the average false-track confirmation rate is 1.33 s-1, for a barely visible point-target that is 10% brighter than the Background Pixel that it replaces.

Background Pixel classification for motion detection in video image sequences
International Work-Conference on Artificial and Natural Neural Networks, 2003Co-Authors: P Giljimenez, S Maldonadobascon, Roberto Gilpita, H GomezmorenoAbstract:Simoncelli & Heeger studied how the motion is processed in humans (V1 and MT areas) and proposed a model based on neural populations that extract the local motion structure through local competition of MT like cells. In this paper we present a neural structure that works as dynamic filter on the top of this MT layer and can take advantage of the neural population coding that is supposed to be present in the MT cortical processing areas. The test bed application addressed in this work is an automatic watch up system for the rear-view mirror blind spot. The segmentation of overtaking cars in this scenario can take full advantage of the motion structure of the visual field provided that the ego-motion of the host car induces a global motion pattern whereas an overtaking car produces a motion pattern highly contrasted with this global ego-motion field.
