We then show that our proposed enhancement method produces more stable features than the existing state-of-the-art methods on RGB-NIR Scene Dataset. For feature matching, we use the SIFT features. As a use case, the proposed fusion method is tested on two challenging biometric verifications ...
In this letter, we present a data-driven method for scene parsing of road scenes to utilize single-channel near-infrared (NIR) images. To overcome the lack of data problem in non-RGB spectrum, we define a new color space and decompose the task of deep scene parsing into two subtasks wit...
ROBUST RGB-T TRACKING VIA CONSISTENCY REGULATED SCENE PERCEPTION. Bin Kang, Liwei Liu, Shihao Zhao, Songlin Du. ICIP 2023. [paper] [Code] CRSP RGB-T object tracking via sparse response-consistency discriminative correlation filters. Yueping Huang, Xiaofeng Li, Ruitao Lu, Naixin Qi. IPT 2023...
Recent development on image categorization, especially scene categorization, shows that the combination of standard visible RGB image data and near-infrared (NIR) image data performs better than RGB-only image data. However, the size of RGB-NIR image collection is often limited due to the ...
Multi-spectral RGB-NIR sensors have become ubiquitous in recent years. These sensors allow the visible and near-infrared spectral bands of a given scene to be captured at the same time. With such cameras, the acquired imagery has a compromised RGB color representation due to near-infrared bands...
In this paper, fusion of RGB and NIR images is applied to improve the performance of scene classification. The proposed fusion technique is based on modified visual salient points (MVSP). Within this process, each RGB channel is fused with NIR channel based on their visual saliency maps. The...
An RGBN fusion scheme is proposed which successfully uses a Colour Weight Map (CWM) to control colour distortion and enhance the visibility of features of interest within the scene. The RGBN fusion design used is a simple arithmetic solution that can be readily implemented in hardware, and can...
This method is based on a maximization of the perceptual distance between the scene endmembers as well as natural constancy of the resulting images. The stretched CMF principle is used to transform reflectance into values in the CIE L*a*b* colorspace combined with an a priori known ...
