Computers and Photographs 1) Image Processing 2) Computer Vision Henry Schneiderman
Outline • Digital Cameras • Emerging Technology • Research in Image Processing and Computer Vision • Automatically Finding Faces and Cars in Photographs
Digital Cameras = Convenience • • Easy to capture photos Easy to store and organize photos Easy to duplicate photos Easy to edit photos
Digital Camera Usage • Lyra research report, 1999 Exposures in billions
State of the Art: Digital Cameras • Film is currently better in resolution and color. – Professional photographers • Digital for low quality newspaper adds • Film for portrait photos • Computer storage limitations: 1 high resolution digital image = 25 Mega. Bytes • Printing –home printers not comparable to commercial printers
Future of Digital Cameras • Improved resolution and color • “Smart” cameras • More programmable features – Auto-focus on object of interest – “Everything in focus” photo – Capture photo when event X occurs
Photographs: Migration to Digital Format • Others means of digitizing imagery – Scanners (photo and film) – Frame-grabber for video
Existing and Emerging Technology 1. Document scanning 2. Biometrics 3. Management of images on computers 4. Other: manufacturing, military, games, . . .
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) • • First patent in OCR in 19 th century First applications in post-office and banks State of the art not perfect. Examples of errors:
Handwriting Recognition • Works if constraints on writer, e. g. palm pilot
Other document processing • Not just for text. . . • Examples: – Engineering document to CAD file – Maps to GIS format – Music score to MIDI representation
Existing and Emerging Technology 1. Document scanning 2. Biometrics 3. Management of images on computers 4. Other: manufacturing, military, games, etc
Biometrics • Technology for identification – Finger/palm print – Iris – Face
Fingerprints • Minutae – spits and merges of ridges
Face Identification • Not quite reliable yet. – Performance degrades rapidly with uncontrolled lighting, facial expression, and size of database • Several companies exist: – – – Visionics (Rockfeller Univesity spin-off) Eye. Matic (USC spin-off) Miros (MIT spin-off) Banque-Tec Intl (Australia) C-VIS Computer Vision (Germany) LAU Technologies • Commercial systems installed in London and Brazil to catch criminals
Existing and Emerging Technology 1. Document scanning 2. Biometrics 3. Management of images on computers 4. Other: manufacturing, military, games, etc
Management of images on computers • Compression – reducing storage size needed for images • Watermarking – Protecting copyright • Microsoft, Bell Labs, NEC, etc. Visible watermark
Photo-manipulation • Adobe Photoshop, Corel Photo. Paint, Pixami, Photo. IQ, etc. – More automatic features
Searching Digital Image Collections • Large collections of images exist – Corbis 67 million images – Getty 70 million stock photography images – AP collects 1000 s of digitized images per day • Search methods are inadequate – Rely on captions and colors • IBM’s Query by Image Content (QBIC) system
Existing and Emerging Technology 1. Document scanning 2. Biometrics 3. Management of images on computers 4. Other: manufacturing, military, games, etc
Inspection for Manufacturing • Occum – inspection of printed circuit boards ($100 M / year) • Cognex – Do-it-yourself toolkits for inspection (400 employees)
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) • Finding mines, tanks, etc. • Billion dollar a year industry – Martin-Lockheed, TSR, Northrup-Grumman, other aerospace contractors. • Various types of imagery: – Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Sonar, hyperspectral imagery (more than 3 colors)
Aerial Photo Interpretation / Automated Cartography • Classification of land-use: forest, vegetation, water • Identification of man-made objects: buildings, roads, etc
Better Security Cameras • Cameras that are responsive to the environment – Track and zoom on moving objects – Automatic adjustment of contrast
Human-Computer Interaction • Computer games that involve interaction with user • Intelligent teleconferencing
Medical imagery • Medical image libraries for study and diagnosis • Image overlay to guide surgeons
History • 1980’s ~100 companies – manufacturing applications mostly • Early 1990’s less than 10 companies • Late 1990’s ~100 companies – face recognition, intelligent teleconferencing, inspection, digital libraries
Computer Vision and Image Processing Research
• Image processing image • Computer vision chair, face, shape, etc. image “Symbolic” description
1. Image Processing: Filtering
2. Image Processing: Compression • Lossless – No loss in quality, gif, tiff • Lossy – Original image cannot be reconstructed, jpeg
3. Image Processing: Watermarking • Information hiding – Protecting Copyright
4. Image Processing: Transformation • Transforming image can make it easier to analyze Wavelet transform of image
Decomposition in Resolution/Frequency coarse intermediate fine
Wavelet Decomposition Vertical subbands (LH)
Wavelet Decomposition Horizontal subbands (HL)
1. Computer Vision: 3 D Shape Reconstruction • Use images to build 3 D model of object or site 3 D site model built from laser range scans collected by CMU autonomous helicopter
2. Computer Vision: To guide Motion • Visually guided locomotion – robotic vehicles • Visually guided manipulation – Hand-eye coordination CMU Nav. Lab II
3. Computer Vision: Recognition and Classification

View-based Classifiers Face Classifier #1 Face Classifier #2 Face Classifier #3
• 2 classifiers trained for faces. • 8 classifiers trained for cars.
Training Classifiers • Cars: 300 -500 images per viewpoint • Faces: 2, 000 images per viewpoint • ~1, 000 synthetic variations of each original image – background scenery, orientation, position, frequency • 2000 non-object images – Samples selected by bootstrapping • Minimization of classification error on training set – Ada. Boost algorithm (Freund & Shapire ‘ 97, Shapire & Singer ‘ 99) • Iterative method • Determines weights for samples
Applications of Face Detection • Automatic red-eye removal from photographs • Automatic color balancing in photofinishing • Intelligent teleconferencing • Component in face identification system
Difficulty Increases with Complexity of Object • • 2 D vs. 3 D Specific objects – e. g. my coffee mug A category of objects – e. g. all coffee mugs Amount of intra-category variation – Rigid or semi-rigid structure, e. g. face – Articulated objects, e. g. human body – Functionally defined objects, e. g. chairs
Summary: Image Processing & Computer Vision • Not as mature as speech recognition – Technology not as reliable – Fewer companies, fewer products • Success on limited problems, e. g. , documents • More applicable to fault tolerant problems • Technology will grow – Emergence of digital camera – Improved methods
