During the course of this thesis, two scenarios are considered. In the first one, we contribute to feature extraction algorithms. In the second one, we use features to improve object detection solutions and localization. The two scenarios give rise to into four thesis sub-goals. First, we present a new shape skeleton pruning algorithm based on contour approximation and the integer medial axis. The algorithm effectively removes unwanted branches, conserves the connectivity of the skeleton and respects the topological properties of the shape. The algorithm is robust to significant boundary noise and to rigid shape transformations. It is fast and easy to implement. While shape-based solutions via boundary and skeleton analysis are viable solutions to object detection, keypoint features are important for textured object detection. Therefore, we present a keypoint featurebased planar object detection framework for vision-based localization. We demonstrate that our framework is robust against illumination changes, perspective distortion, motion blur, and occlusions. We increase robustness of the localization scheme in cluttered environments and decrease false detection of targets. We present an off-line target evaluation strategy and a scheme to improve pose. Third, we extend planar object detection to a real-time approach for 3D object detection using a mobile and uncalibrated camera. We develop our algorithm based on two novel naive Bayes classifiers for viewpoint and feature matching that improve performance and decrease memory usage. Our algorithm exploits the specific structure of various binary descriptors in order to boost feature matching by conserving descriptor properties. Our novel naive classifiers require a database with a small memory footprint because we only store efficiently encoded features. We improve the feature-indexing scheme to speed up the matching process creating a highly efficient database for objects. Finally, we present a model-free long-term tracking algorithm based on the Kernelized Correlation Filter. The proposed solution improves the correlation tracker based on precision, success, accuracy and robustness while increasing frame rates. We integrate adjustable Gaussian window and sparse features for robust scale estimation creating a better separation of the target and the background. Furthermore, we include fast descriptors and Fourier spectrum packed format to boost performance while decreasing the memory footprint. We compare our algorithm with state-of-the-art techniques to validate the results.

This master’s thesis deals with the design of systems for data collection which describe the driver’s behaviour in a car. This data is used to detect risky behaviour that the driver may commit due to inattention caused by the use of either lower or higher levels of driving automation. The thesis first describes the existing safety systems, especially in relation to the driver. Then it deals with the design of the necessary measuring scenes and the implementation of new systems based on the processing of input images which are obtained via the Intel RealSense D415 stereo camera. Every system is tested in a real vehicle environment. In the end the thesis contains an evaluation regarding the detection reliability of the created algorithms, it considers their shortcomings and possible improvements.

With the release of the Kinect device new possibilities appeared, allowing a simple use of image depth in image processing. The aim of this thesis is to propose a method for object detection and recognition in a depth map. Well known method Bag of Words and a descriptor based on Spin Image method are used for the object recognition. The Spin Image method is one of several existing approaches to depth map which are described in this thesis. Detection of object in picture is ensured by the sliding window technique. That is improved and speeded up by utilization of the depth information.

This thesis deals with image object detection and its classification into classes. Classification is provided by models of framework for deep learning BVLC/Caffe. Object detection is provided by AlpacaDB/selectivesearch and belltailjp/selective_search_py algorithms.

The quality and efficient processing of increasing amount of multimedia data is nowadays becoming increasingly needed to obtain some knowledge of this data. The thesis deals with a research, implementation, optimization and the experimental verification of automatic machine learning methods for multimedia data analysis. Created approach achieves higher accuracy in comparison with common methods, when applied on selected examples. Selected results were published in journals with impact factor [1, 2]. For these reasons special parallel computing methods were created in this work. These methods use massively parallel hardware to save electric energy and computing time and for achieving better result while solving problems. Computations which usually take days can be computed in minutes using new optimized methods. The functionality of created methods was verified on selected problems: artery detection from ultrasound images with further classifying of artery disease, the buildings detection from aerial images for obtaining geographical coordinates, the detection of materials contained in meteorite from CT images, the processing of huge databases of structured data, the classification of metallurgical materials with using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy and the automatic classification of emotions from texts.
