Machine vision for detection of the rescue target in the marine casualty

Abstract

In t h e case of a marine casualty occurs, the detection of the rescue target such as life rafts depends on the visual search by man as yet. However, human eyes sometimes lose its sight owing to a long flight and wide views. In order to carry out the prompt rescue of human life, development of t h e searching system in place of t h e human eyes is surely required. This paper deals with a new search method for detection of the rescue target using image processing techniques. To detect t h e small target in t h e wide views over t h e sea, we have proposed a new method including t h e image processing techniques based on t h e color information and t h e c o m p o s i t e image sensor which increases about t h emeasurement accuracy and the image processing speed at actual field. A t t h e first step of t h e study, we attempt ta extract the image data o f t h e rescue target with t h e orange color i n an experimental sea.

Video Processing From Electro-Optical Sensors for Object Detection and Tracking in a Maritime Environment: A Survey

“…al [18] formulated the problems of tracking as computation of an adaptive bounding box, where the bounding box in current frame is an adaptation of the bounding box in the previous frame within specified ranges of adaptivity to compensate for the background mismatch between the current and previous frames. Temporal high pass filter (analogous to fast moving objects) of segmented shapes was used in [23]. Robert-Inacio et.…”

Texture orientation-based algorithm for detecting infrared maritime targets

“…Related streams of research emerge all the time [2,3]. For example, Zhao et al [4] proposes an algorithm based on the saliency detection technology and morphological theory, which first obtains potential targets through the local frequency-based saliency extraction and thresholding process, then morphological operation is used for noise suppression.…”

A Study on Control System Design Based on ARM Sea Target Search System

“…However, the ship accidents mostly occur in bad weather or traffic-intensive conditions, which may bring great difficulties to search ships and persons in distress. Under a complex search and rescue environment, it is difficult for the search and rescue personnel to find targets in back light, at night and in a severe weather [1][2][3]. The target search system based on infrared detectors can be used for search and rescue, which can overcome these shortcomings and deficiencies [4].…”
