  • Patent number: 8995712
    Abstract: A method for automatically detecting and tracking multiple targets in a multi-camera surveillance zone and system thereof. In each camera view of the system only a simple object detection algorithm is needed. The detection results from multiple cameras are fused into a posterior distribution, named TDP, based on the Bayesian rule. This TDP distribution represents a likelihood of presence of some moving targets on the ground plane. To properly handle the tracking of multiple moving targets with time, a sample-based framework which combines Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), and Mean-Shift Clustering, is provided. The detection and tracking accuracy is evaluated by both synthesized videos and real videos. The experimental results show that this method and system can accurately track a varying number of targets.

  • Patent number: 7929730
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for object detection and tracking. Spatio-temporal information for a foreground/background appearance module is updated, based on a new input image and the accumulated previous appearance information and foreground/background information module labeling information over time. Object detection is performed according to the new input image and the updated spatio-temporal information and transmitted previous information over time, based on the labeling result generated by the object detection. The information for the foreground/background appearance module is repeatedly updated until a convergent condition is reached. The produced labeling result from objection detection is considered as a new tracking measurement for further updating on a tracking prediction module. A final tracking result may be obtained through the updated tracking prediction module, which is determined by the current tracking measurement and the previous observed tracking results.

    Abstract: A titanium dioxide coating method is disclosed. An electrolyte containing Ti3+ and at least one of NO3? and NO2? is provided for an electrodeposition device. A substrate is immersed into the electrolyte and electrically connected to the electrodeposition device. A cathodic current is applied to the substrate via the electrodeposition device for reduction of NO2? or NO3?. A titanium dioxide film is thus formed on the surface of the substrate. The thickness, porosity, and morphology of the titanium dioxide film can be controlled by varying the electroplating parameters, and relatively uniform deposits on complex shapes can be obtained by use of low cost instruments.
