Multi modal images need to be registered in order to use the unique information contained in these different modality images. In this paper, modifications on Scale Invariant Feature Transformation (SIFT), which is a popular method used for image matching, to improve its success on multi modal images are described. SIFT algorithm is immune to linear and partially immune to non-linear illumination changes. However, due to non linear illumination changes on multi-modal images, SIFT is not as powerful as it is on uni-modal images. A method that modifies the feature orientations considering the differences of multi modal images is described, and then, the proposed method which works by narrowing the feature descriptor vector orientations is explained.

Visual object tracking using semi supervised convolutional filters
Sevindik, Emir Can; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2020-10-15)
Visual object tracking aims to find a single object position in a video frame, when a annotated bounding box is provided in the first frame. Correlation filters have always produced excellent results in terms of accuracy, while enjoying quite low computational complexity. The main property of correlation filter based trackers is to find a filter that can generate high values around the true target object location, whereas relatively low values for the locations away from the object. Recently, deep learn...
Correlation tracking based on wavelet domain information
Ipek, HL; Yilmaz, I; Yardimci, YC; Cetin, AE (2003-08-07)
Tracking moving objects in video can be carried out by correlating a template containing object pixels with pixels of the current frame. This approach may produce erroneous results under noise. We determine a set of significant pixels on the object by analyzing the wavelet transform of the template and correlate only these pixels with the current frame to determine the next position of the object. These significant pixels are easily trackable features of the image and increase the performance of the tracker.
HANOLISTIC: A Hierarchical Automatic Image Annotation System Using Holistic Approach
Karadag, Ozge Oztimur; Yarman Vural, Fatoş Tunay (2009-06-25)
Automatic image annotation is the process of assigning keywords to digital images depending on the content information. In one sense, it is a mapping from the visual content information to the semantic context information. In this study, we propose a novel approach for automatic image annotation problem, where the annotation is formulated as a multivariate mapping from a set of independent descriptor spaces, representing a whole image, to a set of words, representing class labels. For this purpose, a hierar...
Rescoring detections based on contextual scores in object detection
Zorlu, Ersan Vural; Akbaş, Emre; Department of Computer Engineering (2019)
To detect objects in an image, current state-of-the-art object detectors firstly definecandidate object locations, and then classify each of them into one of the predefinedcategories or as background. They do so by using the visual features extracted locallyfrom the candidate locations; omitting the rich contextual information embedded inthe whole image. Contextual information can be utilized to complement the informa-tion extracted locally and thereby to improve object detection accuracy. Researchershave p...
Keyframe based bi directional 2 D mesh representation for video object tracking and manipulation
Eren, Pekin Erhan (1999-10-28)
We propose a new bi-directional 2-D mesh representation of video objects, which utilizes multiple keyframes with forward and backward tracking. Experimental results on use of this representation for video object tracking in the presence of self occlusion are presented.
