Abstract

The first step to segment the image into different objects is producing the sharpened version of an image by blurring the image slightly and then original image and the blurred version of the image are compared one pixel at a time with each other. If the original pixel is brighter than the blurred version of the image it is further brightened and if the original pixel is darker than the blurred version of the image it is further darkened, and the resulting image is the sharpened version of the original image with thick edges to segment it into different objects. Now each object will have different salient features in different views and hence based on the salient features we detected for the object we will also narrow down what is the view of the detected object which will help us in doing Object Recognition.

Description

View Based Object Detection in Images
In this invention we have different images consisting of different objects in an image. We can do edge detection and segment the image into different objects by sharpening the different edges of the image. The first step in producing the sharpened version of an image is to blur the image slightly (for each pixel taking into account its neighbour pixels) and then original image and the blurred version of the image are compared one pixel at a time with each other. If the original pixel is brighter than the blurred version of the image it is further brightened and if the original pixel is darker than the blurred version of the image it is further darkened, and the resulting image is the sharpened version of the original image. Region boundaries and edges are closely related, since there is often a sharp adjustment in intensity at the region boundaries we use them to segment the image into different objects. Now each object will have different salient features in different views like top view, left side view, right side view, rear view and bottom view, and hence based on the salient features we detected for the object we will also narrow down what is the view of the detected object which will help us in doing Object Recognition. The above technique could be used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which is an aircraft with no pilot on board can be remote controlled aircraft (e.g. flown by a pilot at a ground control station) or can fly autonomously based on preprogrammed flight plans or more complex dynamic automation systems. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are used for detecting various objects and attacking the infiltrated ground targets.

Claims

Claims Following is the claim for this invention: -
1 . In this invention we have different images consisting of different objects in an image. We can do edge detection and segment the image into different objects by sharpening the different edges of the image. The first step in producing the sharpened version of an image is to blur the image slightly (for each pixel taking into account its neighbour pixels) and then original image and the blurred version of the image are compared one pixel at a time with each other. If the original pixel is brighter than the blurred version of the image it is further brightened and if the original pixel is darker than the blurred version of the image it is further darkened, and the resulting image is the sharpened version of the original image. Region boundaries and edges are closely related, since there is often a sharp adjustment in intensity at the region boundaries we use them to segment the image into different objects. Now each object will have different salient features in different views like top view, left side view, right side view, rear view and bottom view, and hence based on the salient features we detected for the object we will also narrow down what is the view of the detected object which will help us in doing Object
Recognition. The above technique could be used in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, which is an aircraft with no pilot on board can be remote controlled aircraft (e.g. flown by a pilot at a ground control station) or can fly autonomously based on preprogrammed flight plans or more complex dynamic automation systems.
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are used for detecting various objects and attacking the infiltrated ground targets. The above novel technique of doing View Based Object Detection in images is the claim for this invention.
