Wide Area Surveillance (WAS) systems are capable of providing continuous surveillance of critical areas as wide as city center (approximately 20 km square), mostly as a gray-level video. Utilization of road information for WAS systems increases moving vehicle tracking performance, while reducing the false alarm rates that might occur due to tall buildings, shadows or terrain. Two different novel approaches for automatic road detection from gray values images are presented in this paper. In the first approach, a probabilistic model for the road pixels of a gray-scale WAS image is obtained by utilizing parallel line detection and tubularity estimation. In the second approach, these road probabilities are converted into a graph representation for local areas. These graphs are solved by using graph cut formulation which exploits min-cut, maxflow algorithm. As a result of this solution, the road mask is extracted by applying a hierarchical model that results with a transition from local to global representation. Although the methods in literature mostly utilize multi-spectral images that result wih a smaller resolution yielding surveillance of a limited region, the proposed method uses gray-scale images which enable surveillance of much wider areas. The proposed method was tested some high resolution WAS images and resulted with promising results.

Direct gray scale ridge reconstruction in fingerprint images
Domeniconi, C; Tarı, Zehra Sibel; Liang, P (1998-01-01)
An original technique, based on ridge point detection directly from gray scale fingerprint images, is proposed. Our method avoids serious problems that algorithms which perform binarization of fingerprint images have. Each step can be easily hardware implemented, allowing a relevant speed up of the whole process.
Automated building detection from satellite images by using shadow information as an object invariant
Yüksel, Barış; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay; Department of Computer Engineering (2012)
Apart from classical pattern recognition techniques applied for automated building detection in satellite images, a robust building detection methodology is proposed, where self-supervision data can be automatically extracted from the image by using shadow and its direction as an invariant for building object. In this methodology; first the vegetation, water and shadow regions are detected from a given satellite image and local directional fuzzy landscapes representing the existence of building are generate...
Wide-area spaceborne maritime surveillance system
Leloğlu, Uğur Murat (2017-06-22)
Wide Area Aerial Surveillance (WAAS) systems are gaining popularity nowadays. The main function of WAAS systems is to obtain high resolution images of a large area and create knowledge to facilitate situational awareness. To accomplish that, these systems circling over city-size regions, typically at an altitude of 10.000 feet or higher, obtain images at GSDs of 20-50 cm at around 1-2 fps. Instead of transferring huge amount of raw data, it is processed onboard and extracted data is transferred. In this pap...
Classification of Human Motion Using Radar Micro-Doppler Signatures with Hidden Markov Models
PADAR, Mehmet Onur; ERTAN, Ali Erdem; Candan, Çağatay (2016-05-06)
One of the desirable features in a ground surveillance radar is to provide information about what a detected person is doing. This would give a law enforcement organization ability to detect suspicious activities remotely and act accordingly. Previously, micro-Doppler radar signatures from humans were shown to have the necessary features to make that distinction. Typically, micro-Doppler signal spectrograms are used to obtain features to classify what the person is doing. However, most of these techniques t...
Detection and recognition of concealed faces using a 340 GHz imaging system
YILDIRIM, İHSAN OZAN; ŞAHİN, ASAF BEHZAT; Altan, Hakan (2022-10-28)
Biometric recognition and surveillance systems based on visible band imaging cameras encounter a number of limitations such as the effects of lighting conditions and occlusions. As a result, there is an interest in beyond the visible spectrum in this field. Due to their characteristics such as transmission through common barrier materials, use of millimeter and submillimeter wave systems in the field of biometrics have been proposed in order to overcome these difficulties. This paper discusses the possibili...
