Abstract Gait recognition is an active research area that uses a walking theme to identify the subject correctly. Human Gait Recognition (HGR) is performed without any cooperation from the individual. However, in practice, it remains a challenging task under diverse walking sequences due to the covariant factors such as normal walking and walking with wearing a coat. Researchers, over the years, have worked on successfully identifying subjects using different techniques, but there is still room for improvement in accuracy due to these covariant factors. This paper proposes an automated model-free framework for human gait recognition in this article. There are a… More >

Abstract Rapid development of deepfake technology led to the spread of forged audios and videos across network platforms, presenting risks for numerous countries, societies, and individuals, and posing a serious threat to cyberspace security. To address the problem of insufficient extraction of spatial features and the fact that temporal features are not considered in the deepfake video detection, we propose a detection method based on improved CapsNet and temporal–spatial features (iCapsNet–TSF). First, the dynamic routing algorithm of CapsNet is improved using weight initialization and updating. Then, the optical flow algorithm is used to extract interframe temporal features of the videos to… More >

Abstract The ORB-SLAM2 based on the constant velocity model is difficult to determine the search window of the reprojection of map points when the objects are in variable velocity motion, which leads to a false matching, with an inaccurate pose estimation or failed tracking. To address the challenge above, a new method of feature point matching is proposed in this paper, which combines the variable velocity model with the reverse optical flow method. First, the constant velocity model is extended to a new variable velocity model, and the expanded variable velocity model is used to provide the initial pixel shifting for… More >

Abstract Deformable medical image registration plays a vital role in medical image applications, such as placing different temporal images at the same time point or different modality images into the same coordinate system. Various strategies have been developed to satisfy the increasing needs of deformable medical image registration. One popular registration method is estimating the displacement field by computing the optical flow between two images. The motion field (flow field) is computed based on either gray-value or handcrafted descriptors such as the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT). These methods assume that illumination is constant between images. However, medical images may not always… More >

Abstract The two-stream convolutional neural network exhibits excellent performance in the video action recognition. The crux of the matter is to use the frames already clipped by the videos and the optical flow images pre-extracted by the frames, to train a model each, and to finally integrate the outputs of the two models. Nevertheless, the reliance on the pre-extraction of the optical flow impedes the efficiency of action recognition, and the temporal and the spatial streams are just simply fused at the ends, with one stream failing and the other stream succeeding. We propose a novel hidden twostream collaborative (HTSC) learning… More >

Abstract Real-time wild smoke detection utilizing machine based identification method is not produced proper accuracy, and it is not suitable for accurate prediction. However, various video smoke detection approaches involve minimum lighting, and it is required for the cameras to identify the existence of smoke particles in a scene. To overcome such challenges, our proposed work introduces a novel concept like deep VGG-Net Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for the classification of smoke particles. This Deep Feature Synthesis algorithm automatically generated the characteristics for relational datasets. Also hybrid ABC optimization rectifies the problem related to the slow convergence since complexity is reduced.… More >

Abstract A greyscale-based fully automatic deformable image registration algorithm, based on an optical flow method together with geometric smoothing, is developed for dynamic lung modeling and tumor tracking. In our computational processing pipeline, the input data is a set of 4D CT images with 10 phases. The triangle mesh of the lung model is directly extracted from the more stable exhale phase (Phase 5). In addition, we represent the lung surface model in 3D volumetric format by applying a signed distance function and then generate tetrahedral meshes. Our registration algorithm works for both triangle and tetrahedral meshes. In CT images, the… More >
