Immediate and accurate detection of wildfire is essentially important in forest monitoring systems
•One of the most harmful hazards in rural areas
•For wildfire detection, the use of visible-range video captured by surveillance cameras are suitable
•They can be deployed and operated in a cost-effective manner
•The challenge is to provide a robust detection system with negligible false positive rates
•If the flames are visible, they can be detected by analyzing the motion and color clues of a video

Free viewpoint video (FVV), owing to its comprehensive applications in immersive entertainment, remote surveillance and distanced education, has received extensive attention and been regarded as a new important direction of video technology development. Depth image-based rendering (DIBR) technologies are employed to synthesize FVV images in the “blind” environment. Therefore, a real-time reliable blind quality assessment metric is urgently required. However, existing stste-of-art quality assessment methods are limited to estimate geometric distortions generated by DIBR.

We introduce a novel technique for the automatic detection of word boundaries within continuous sentence expressions in Japanese Sign Language from three-dimensional body joint positions. First, the flow of signed sentence data within a temporal neighborhood is determined utilizing the spatial correlations between line segments of inter-joint pairs. Next, a frame-wise binary random forest classifier is trained to distinguish word and non-word frame content based on the extracted spatio-temporal features.

In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient method termed as Progressive Filtering for Feature Matching, which is able to establish accurate correspondences between two images of common or similar scenes. Our algorithm first grids the correspondence space and calculates a typical motion vector for each cell, and then removes false matches by checking the consistency between each putative match and the typical motion vector in the corresponding cell, which is achieved by a convolution operation.

In this paper, we optimize the computations of third-order low-tubal-rank tensor operations on many-core GPUs. Tensor operations are compute-intensive and existing studies optimize such operations in a case-by-case manner, which can be inefficient and error-prone. We develop and optimize a BLAS-like library for the low-tubal-rank tensor model called cuTensor-tubal, which includes efficient GPU primitives for tensor operations and key processes. We compute tensor operations in the frequency domain and fully exploit tube-wise and slice-wise parallelisms.

Reliable collision avoidance is one of the main requirements for autonomous driving.
Hence, it is important to correctly estimate the states of an unknown number of static and dynamic objects in real-time.
Here, data association is a major challenge for every multi-target tracker.
We propose a novel multi-target tracker called Greedy Dirichlet Process Filter (GDPF) based on the non-parametric Bayesian model called Dirichlet Processes and the fast posterior computation algorithm Sequential Updating and Greedy Search (SUGS).
