BoWFire: Detection of Fire in Still Images by Integrating Pixel Color and Texture Analysis
Emergency events involving fire are potentially harmful, demanding a fast and
precise decision making. The use of crowdsourcing image and videos on crisis
management systems can aid in these situations by providing more information
than verbal/textual descriptions. Due to the usual high volume of data,
automatic solutions need to discard non-relevant content without losing
relevant information. There are several methods for fire detection on video
using color-based models. However, they are not adequate for still image
processing, because they can suffer on high false-positive results. These
methods also suffer from parameters with little physical meaning, which makes
fine tuning a difficult task. In this context, we propose a novel fire
detection method for still images that uses classification based on color
features combined with texture classification on superpixel regions. Our method
uses a reduced number of parameters if compared to previous works, easing the
process of fine tuning the method. Results show the effectiveness of our method
of reducing false-positives while its precision remains compatible with the
state-of-the-art methods.Comment: 8 pages, Proceedings of the 28th SIBGRAPI Conference on Graphics,

K-Space at TRECVid 2007
In this paper we describe K-Space participation in
TRECVid 2007. K-Space participated in two tasks, high-level feature extraction and interactive search. We present our approaches for each of these activities and provide a brief analysis of our results. Our high-level feature submission utilized multi-modal low-level features which included visual, audio and temporal elements. Specific concept detectors (such as Face detectors) developed by K-Space partners were also used. We experimented with different machine learning approaches including logistic regression and support vector machines (SVM). Finally we also experimented with both early and late fusion for feature combination. This year we also participated in interactive search, submitting 6 runs. We developed two interfaces which both utilized the same retrieval functionality. Our objective was to measure the effect of context, which was supported to different degrees in each interface, on user performance.
The first of the two systems was a āshotā based interface,
where the results from a query were presented as a ranked
list of shots. The second interface was ābroadcastā based,
where results were presented as a ranked list of broadcasts.
Both systems made use of the outputs of our high-level feature submission as well as low-level visual features
Survey of Object Detection Methods in Camouflaged Image
Camouflage is an attempt to conceal the signature of a target object into the background image. Camouflage detection
methods or Decamouflaging method is basically used to detect foreground object hidden in the background image. In this
research paper authors presented survey of camouflage detection methods for different applications and areas
