In the process of indoor visual positioning and navigation, difficult points often exist in corridors, stairwells, and other scenes that contain large areas of white walls, strong consistent background, and sparse feature points. Aiming at the problem of positioning and navigation in the real physical world where the walls with sparse feature points are difficult to be filled with pictures, this paper designs a feature extraction method, ARAC (Adaptive Region Adjustment based on Consistency) using Free and Open-Source Software and tools. It divides the image into foreground and background and extracts their features respectively, to achieve not only retain positioning information but also focus more energy on the foreground area which is favourable for navigation. In the test phase, under the combined conditions of illumination, scale and affine changes, the feature matching maps by the feature extraction algorithm proposed in this paper are compared with those by SIFT and SURF. Experiments show that the number of correctly matched feature pairs obtained by ARAC is better than SIFT and SURF, and whose time of feature extraction and matching is comparable to SURF, which verifies the accuracy and efficiency of the ARAC feature extraction method.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a modified welding image feature extraction algorithm for rotating arc narrow gap metal active-gas welding (MAG) welding, which is significant for improving the accuracy and reliability of the welding process. Design/methodology/approach An infrared charge-coupled device (CCD) camera was utilized to obtain the welding image by passive vision. The left/right arc position was used as a triggering signal to capture the image when the arc is approaching left/right sidewall. Comparing with the conventional method, the authors’ sidewall detection method reduces the interference from arc; the median filter removes the welding spatter; and the size of the arc area was verified to reduce the reflection from welding pool. In addition, the frame loss was also considered in the authors’ method. Findings The modified welding image feature extraction method improves the accuracy and reliability of sidewall edge and arc position detection. Practical implications The algorithm can be applied to welding seam tracking and penetration control in rotating or swing arc narrow gap welding. Originality/value The modified welding image feature extraction method is robust to typical interference and, thus, can improve the accuracy and reliability of the detection of sidewall edge and arc position.

It is always difficul to reserve rings and main truck lines in the real engineering of feature extraction for terrain model. In this paper, a new skeleton feature extraction method is proposed to solve these problems, which put forward a simplification algorithm based on morphological theory to eliminate the noise points of the target points produced by classical profile recognition. As well all know, noise point is the key factor to influence the accuracy and efficiency of feature extraction. Our method connected the optimized feature points subset after morphological simplification; therefore, the efficiency of ring process and pruning has been improved markedly, and the accuracy has been enhanced without the negative effect of noisy points. An outbranching concept is defined, and the related algorithms are proposed to extract sufficient long trucks, which is capable of being consistent with real terrain skeleton. All of algorithms are conducted on many real experimental data, including GTOPO30 and benchmark data provided by PPA to verify the performance and accuracy of our method. The results showed that our method precedes PPA as a whole.

Flaw Classification

Though ultrasonic phased array technology is more efficient than traditional manual ultrasonic testing method, automatic flaw classification is a challenge and still hasn’t been well solved. Whether the representative features can be extracted from each type of ultrasonic flaw signal is a key to influencing the accuracy rate of automatic flaw classification. In this paper, second generation wavelet transform (SGWT) is proposed as a flaw feature extraction method, having the advantages of high computation speed, simple structure and occupying less memory. After introducing the principle of SGWT, the SGWT-based feature extraction algorithm is analyzed. Separability measure based on Euclidean distance is introduced as the evaluation criterion to assess flaw feature extraction performance. For comparison, first generation wavelet packet transform (WPT), a common feature extraction method, is also adopted to extract flaw feature. The experiment result is indicated that the classification performance of SGWT-based feature extraction algorithm is improved than WPT-based feature extraction algorithm, and the classification speed of the former is almost two times of the latter, which is valuable for automatic flaw detection and classification of pipeline girth weld.

This paper presents a new method for road anomaly detection. The existence of road anomalies is determined by the behaviors of vehicles. A special polynomial named Sum-of-Squares (SOS) polynomial is used as a metric to evaluate the normality of vehicle behaviors. The method can process multiple types of sensor measurements. A feature extraction method is used to obtain concise representations of the sensor measurements. These representations, called feature points, are used to calculate the value of the SOS polynomial. Simulation results have been shown to demonstrate that the proposed method can effectively detect different types of road anomalies.

The computing power of mobile devices makes it possible to transplant the applications which run on PCs to mobile devices. However, the power is still too weak to meet the requirements for some kinds of applications which are highly in real-time. In augmented reality applications, feature extraction, as well as feature matching is critical. In this paper .we focus on the part of feature extraction, and modify SURF as an example to fit the hardware characteristics of mobile devices. To solve the mismatch between the small cache size and the data access pattern. We proposed the content-aware tiling based SURF according to the small cache capacity. Experiments show that the accelerated SURF achieves a 1.5x-1.7x speedup without sacrificing recognition accuracy.

Palmprint identification refers to searching in a database for the palmprint template, which is from the same palm as a given palmprint input. The identification process involves preprocessing, feature extraction, feature matching and decision-making. As a key step in the process, in this paper, we propose a new feature extraction method by converting a palmprint image from a spatial domain to a frequency domain using Fourier Transform. The features extracted in the frequency domain are used as indexes to the palmprint templates in the database and the searching process for the best match is conducted by a layered fashion. The experimental results show that palmprint identification based on feature extraction in the frequency domain is effective in terms of accuracy and efficiency.

Gabor Feature Extraction

By integrating the Fourier techniques and the edge information obtained using the radial symmetric functions, we propose in this paper an invariant feature extraction algorithm. Unlike the Gabor feature extraction method, the present method does not use direction dependent filters, nor does it use the images in polar form, for rotation invariance. Besides, the present Fourier-Radial invariant feature extraction algorithm, suitable for both the texture and non-texture images, has functional analogy with the Gabor feature extraction method, and hence, is easily implementable. It is mathematically proved, and justified through computations, that the method can generate the invariant and discriminative feature vectors. Our simulation results demonstrate that the method can be used for such applications as content-based image retrieval.
