Object Tracking and matching in a Video Stream based on SURF and Wavelet Transform
...Show More Authors

In computer vision, visual object tracking is a significant task for monitoring
applications. Tracking of object type is a matching trouble. In object tracking, one
main difficulty is to select features and build models which are convenient for
distinguishing and tracing the target. The suggested system for continuous features
descriptor and matching in video has three steps. Firstly, apply wavelet transform on
image using Haar filter. Secondly interest points were detected from wavelet image
using features from accelerated segment test (FAST) corner detection. Thirdly those
points were descripted using Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF). The algorithm
of Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) has been employed and implemented for
object in video stream tracking and matching. The descriptor of feature in SURF can
be operated by minimizing the space of search for potential points of interest inside
the scale space image pyramid. The tracked interest points that are resulted are more
recurrence and pother free. For dealing with images that contain blurring and
rotation, SURF is best. Fast corner detector can be employed along SURF method to
build integral images .The integral images can be used to enhance the speed of
image matching. The features that are extracted from video images are matched
using Manhattan distance measure. Apply the algorithm of FAST corner detection
along SURF descriptor of feature; tracking and matching adequacy is better, fast and
more efficient than Scale Invariant Feature Transform SIFT descriptor. The
experimental outcomes displayed that the time that SURF could be taken for
matching is less than the time that SIFT could be taken ,the SURF accuracy depends
on number of key-points which are extracted from each frame. SURF key-points are
less than SIFT key-points; therefore, SURF key-points could be considered optimal
in the process of matching accuracy.

Artificial Neural Network for TIFF Image Compression
...Show More Authors

The main aim of image compression is to reduce the its size to be able for transforming and storage, therefore many methods appeared to compress the image, one of these methods is "Multilayer Perceptron ". Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) method which is artificial neural network based on the Back-Propagation algorithm for compressing the image. In case this algorithm depends upon the number of neurons in the hidden layer only the above mentioned will not be quite enough to reach the desired results, then we have to take into consideration the standards which the compression process depend on to get the best results. We have trained a group of TIFF images with the size of (256*256)  in our research, compressed them by using MLP for each
