In Active Dynamic thermography (ADT) sequences of consecutive temperature distributions are analyzed. In biomedical applications of ADT, the problems of a patient's movements in front of a thermal camera should be eliminated before data analysis. Complete mechanical stabilization of the patients is impossible due to natural voluntary and involuntary moves caused by pulse breathing, etc. This paper presents a simple and efficient...

The jPVM-oriented environment to support high performance computing required for the Endoscopy Recommender System (ERS) is defined. SPMD model of image matching is considered and its two implementations are proposed: Lexicographical Searching Algorithm (LSA) and Gradient Serching Algorithm (GSA). Three classes of experiments are considered and the relative degree of similarity and execution time of each algorithm are analysed....

A novel approach to resolving ambiguous situations in object tracking in video streams is presented. The proposed method combines standard tracking technique employing Kalman filters with global feature matching method. Object detection is performed using a background subtraction algorithm, then Kalman filters are used for object tracking. At the same time, SURF key points are detected only in image sections identified as moving...

In order to eliminate a human factor and fully automate the process of embedding the spatial localization information in a remote sensed image the integrated georeferencing method was proposed. The paper presents this unsupervised and robust approach which is comprised of pattern recognition, using SIFT-based detector, and RANSAC based outlier removal with matching algorithm.
