Developing a reliable vision system is a fundamental challenge for robotic technologies (e.g., indoor service robots and outdoor autonomous robots) which can ensure reliable navigation even in challenging environments such as adverse weather conditions (e.g., fog, rain), poor lighting conditions (e.…
Nowadays living environments are characterized by networks of inter-connected sensing devices that accomplish different tasks, e.g., video surveillance of an environment by a network of CCTV cameras. A malicious user could gather sensitive details on people’s activities by eavesdropping the exchange…
The history of a shared and re-posted multimedia content can be reconstructed by analyzing the mutual relations between all of its near-duplicate copies and solving a minimum spanning tree (MST) problem, as shown by multimedia phylogeny research field, Unfortunately, MST estimation strategies are se…
Recent years have assisted a widespreading of Radio-Frequency-based tracking and mapping algorithms for a wide range of applications, ranging from environment surveillance to human-computer interface. This work presents a material identification system based on a portable 3D imaging radar-based syst…
While the phylogenetic analysis of multimedia documents keeps being investigated, some recent studies have shown the possibility of re-using the same strategies to analyze the evolution of computer programs (Software Phylogeny), considering its many applications spanning from copyright enforcement t…
Over the past few years, a huge number of distributed camera calibration strategies have been proposed for video surveillance and monitoring systems involving mobile terminals. Many of the proposed solutions rely on consensus-based algorithms, which aim at estimating the configuration of the network…
Structure-from-Motion (SfM) algorithms have recently been employed to reconstruct 3D scenes or environments from large sets of unordered images which were harvested from the web. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the reconstruction is significantly affected by the quality and the amount of editing oper…
Recent researches on image forensics have led to the design of algorithms to study the phylogenetic relationship between near-duplicate (ND) images. The proposed solutions aim at reconstructing the image phylogeny tree (IPT), and they have immediate applications in security, law and copyright enforc…
