Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 4Affordable person detection in omnidirectional cameras using radial integral channel features(Springer Verlag, 2019) Demiröz, Barış Evrim; Salah, Albert Ali; Baştanlar, Yalın; Akarun, LaleOmnidirectional cameras cover more ground than perspective cameras, at the expense of resolution. Their comprehensive field of view makes omnidirectional cameras appealing for security and ambient intelligence applications. Person detection is usually a core part of such applications. Conventional methods fail for omnidirectional images due to different image geometry and formation. In this study, we propose a method for person detection in omnidirectional images, which is based on the integral channel features approach. Features are extracted from various channels, such as LUV and gradient magnitude, and classified using boosted decision trees. Features are pixel sums inside annular sectors (doughnut slice shapes) contained by the detection window. We also propose a novel data structure called radial integral image that allows to calculate sums inside annular sectors efficiently. We have shown with experiments that our method outperforms the previous state of the art and uses significantly less computational resources.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 13Classification and Tracking of Traffic Scene Objects With Hybrid Camera Systems(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Barış, İpek; Baştanlar, YalınIn a hybrid camera system combining an omnidirectional and a Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera, the omnidirectional camera provides 360 degree horizontal field-of-view, whereas the PTZ camera provides high resolution at a certain direction. This results in a wide field-of-view and high resolution camera system. In this paper, we exploit this hybrid system for real-time object classification and tracking for traffic scenes. The omnidirectional camera detects the moving objects and performs an initial classification using shape-based features. Concurrently, the PTZ camera classifies the objects using high resolution frames and Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) features. PTZ camera also performs high-resolution tracking for the objects classified as the target class by the omnidirectional camera. The object types we worked on are pedestrian, motorcycle, car and van. Extensive experiments were conducted to compare the classification accuracy of the hybrid system with single camera alternatives.
