Combining compositional shape hierarchy and multi-class object taxonomy for efficient object categorisation

In this talk we present our approach to visual categorization which combines a learned compositional hierarchy, representing shapes of multiple object classes, and a coarse-to-fine matching scheme that exploits a taxonomy of objects to perform efficient object detection. From simple contour fragments frequent spatial configurations are learnt and recursively combined into increasingly more complex and class-specific shape compositions layer by layer. To speed up recognition, a taxonomy of constellation models cascaded from coarse-to-fine resolution is constructed automatically in a way that minimizes the number of expected computations during recognition by optimizing the cost-to-power ratio.

Video surveilance with Beagle Board

We investigated the methods that can be used in automatic video surveillance systems and the most appropriate ones were used in the implementation. The prototype was developed on BeagleBoard with Angstrom Linux platform due to its similarity with mobile target platforms. The implementation was mainly based on the Motion software package supported by the driver library Video for Linux (V4L).
