Visual Servoing Based on Shifted Moments
Over the past decade, image moments have been exploited in several visual servoing schemes for their ability to represent object regions, objects defined by contours or a set of discrete points. Moments have also been useful to achieve control decoupling properties and to choose a minimal number of features to control the whole degrees of freedom (DOFs) of a camera. However, the choice of moment-based features to control the rotational motions around the $x$ -axis and $y$ -axis simultaneously with the translational motions along the same axis remains a key issue. In this paper, we introduce new visual features computed from low-order “shifted moments invariant.” Importantly, they allow us 1…
Fast Earth Mover's Distance Computation for Catadioptric Image Sequences
International audience; Earth mover's distance is one of the most effective metric for comparing histograms in various image retrieval applications. The main drawback is its computational complexity which hinders its usage in various comparison tasks. We propose fast earth mover's distance computation by providing better initialization to the transportation simplex algorithm. The new approach enables faster EMD computation in Visual Memory (VM) compared to the state of the art methods. The new proposed strategy computes earth mover distance without compromising its accuracy.
