backward warping方法
反向变形(backward warping)是计算机视觉和图像处理中的一种技术。
它被广泛应用于实现图像的变形、图像纠正、跟踪与匹配等应用。
顾名思义,反向变形就是逆转了变形的方向,根据变形后的像素点坐标计算变形前的像素点的位置。
正向变形是指根据变形前的像素点坐标计算变形后的像素点位置的过程,例如图像的仿射变换、透视变换等。
这种变形方法对像素点坐标进行变换,从而实现图像的变形,但它不利于像素间的精确匹配。
反向变形的实现有很多方法,其中比较常见的包括三角剖分、逆距离加权和贝塞尔曲线等。
三角剖分(triangulation)是一种常用的反向变形方法。
对于一个图像,可以先将其用若干个三角形来划分,形成三角形网格。
对于变形后的图像,在三角形网格中找到其所在的三角形,然后再根据线性插值和重心坐标计算变形前的像素点位置。
逆距离加权(inverse distance weighting)则是一种较为简单的反向变形方法。
它的基本思想是根据变形后的像素点与其周围像素点的距离来计算变形前的像素点位置,距离越近的像素点权重越大。
该方法虽然简单,但在某些情况下可获得较好的变形效果。
贝塞尔曲线(Bezier curve)则是一种基于贝塞尔插值的反向变形方法。
该方法通过一系列控制点来确定几何形状,进而实现反向变形。
与三角剖分相比,贝塞尔曲线更加精确,但需要较为复杂的计算。
总之,反向变形在计算机视觉和图像处理的应用中具有广泛的应用前景。
无论是三角剖分、逆距离加权还是贝塞尔曲线,都是实现反向变形的有效方法。

present a full next-to-leading order code to calculate the photoproduction of prompt photons.The code is a general purpose program of ”partonic event generator”type with large flexibility.We study the possibility to constrain the photon structure functions and comment on isolation issues.A comparison to ZEUS data is also shown.1IntroductionHigh energy electron-proton scattering at the DESY ep collider HERA is dominated by photopro-duction processes,where the electron is scattered at small angles,emitting a quasireal photon which scatters with the proton.These processes are of special interest since they are sensitive to both the partonic structure of the photon as well as of the proton.In particular,they offer the possibil-ity to constrain the(presently poorly known)gluon distributions in the photon,since in a certain kinematical region the subprocess qg→γq,where the gluon is stemming from a resolved photon, is dominating.Up to now,the experimental errors were too large to discriminate clearly between different sets of gluon distributions in the photon,but a high statistics analysis of the1996-2000 HERA data on prompt photon photoproduction announced by the ZEUS collaboration will shed new light on this issue.The calculation of higher order corrections to the Compton processγq→γq has been initiated some time ago[1]–[6].The most recent calculations for prompt photon photoproduction have been done by Gordon/Vogelsang[6]for isolated prompt photon production,Gordon[7]for photon plus jet production and by the group Krawczyk/Zembrzuski[8]for both the inclusive case and γ+jet.However,all of these calculations contain certain drawbacks.In[6],isolation is implemented by adding a subtraction term evaluated in the collinear approximation to the fully inclusive cross section.The programs of[7]and[8]do not contain the full set of NLO corrections.In[7],those parts where thefinal state photon comes from fragmentation of a hard parton were included only at leading order,arguing that isolation cuts will suppress the fragmentation component in any case to a large extent.Moreover,the box contribution has not been included.In[8],higher order corrections are included only for the case where initial andfinal state photons are both direct.So not only the contributions from fragmentation,but also the case where the initial photon is resolved are included at Born level only.However,the box contribution has been taken into account.The calculation presented in this paper takes into account the full NLO corrections to all four subparts.The corresponding matrix elements already have been calculated and tested in previous works[2,9,10].A major advantage of the present code is also given by the fact that it is constructed as a”partonic event generator”and as such is veryflexible.Various sorts of observables matching a particular experimental analysis can be defined and histogrammed for an event sample generated once and for all.This strategy already has been applied to construct NLO codes forγγproduction (DIPHOX)[11]and one or two jets photoproduction[12].The paper is organized as follows.In section2wefirst describe the theoretical framework and the treatment of the infrared singularities.Then we discuss the implementation of isolation cuts and outline the structure of the code.Section3is devoted to phenomenology.We study the effect of isolation,determine the kinematic region which is most sensitive to the gluon distribution in the photon and illustrate the sensitivity of the cross section to the energy of the incoming photon.We give results for inclusive isolated prompt photon production and compare with a recent analysis of ZEUS data[13],before we come to the conclusions in section4.2Theoretical formalism and description of the methodIn this section the general framework for prompt photon photoproduction will be outlined.We will review the contributing subprocesses,the treatment of infrared singularities and the implementation of isolation cuts.2.1The subprocesses contributing at NLOThe inclusive cross section for ep→γX can symbolically be written as a convolution of the parton densities of the incident particles(resp.fragmentation function for an outgoing parton fragmenting into a photon)with the partonic cross sectionˆσdσep→γX(P p,P e,Pγ)= a,b,c dx e dx p dz F a/e(x e,M)F b/p(x p,M p)dˆσab→cX(x p P p,x e P e,Pγ/z,µ,M,M p,M F)Dγ/c(z,M F)(1) where M,M p are the initial state factorization scales,M F thefinal state factorization scale andµthe renormalization scale.The subprocesses contributing to the partonic reaction ab→cX can be divided into four cat-egories which will be denoted by1.direct direct 2.direct fragmentation 3.resolved direct 4.resolved fragmentation.The cases”direct direct”and”resolved direct”correspond to c=γand Dγ/c(z,M F)=δcγδ(1−z)in(1),that is,the prompt3photon is produced directly in the hard subprocess.The cases with”direct”attributed to the initial state photon correspond to a=γ,with Fγ/e approximated by the Weizs¨a cker-Williams formula for the spectrum of the quasireal photonsf eγ(y)=αemylnQ2max(1−y)y .(2)The”resolved”contributions are characterized by a resolved photon in the initial state where a parton stemming from the photon instead of the photon itself participates in the hard subprocess. In these cases,F a/e(x e,M)is given by a convolution of the Weizs¨a cker-Williams spectrum with the parton distributions in the photon:F a/e(x e,M)= 10dy dxγf eγ(y)F a/γ(xγ,M)δ(xγy−x e)(3)Examples of diagrams contributing at Born level to the four categories above are shown in Figs.1 and2.In the case of the”direct direct”part,only the Compton processγq→γq contributes at leading order,at NLO the O(αs)corrections fromγq→γqg resp.γg→γq¯q and the corresponding virtual corrections contribute.We also included the box contribution(Fig.3)into the”direct direct”part since it is known to be sizeable[4],although it is formally a NNLO contribution.In the”direct fragmentation”part,thefinal state photon comes from the fragmentation of a hard parton participating in the short distance subprocess.From a technical point of view,afinal state quark-photon collinear singularity appears in the calculation of the subprocessγg→γq¯q.At higher orders,final state multiple collinear singularities appear in any subprocess where a high p T parton(quark or gluon)undergoes a cascade of successive collinear splittings ending up with a quark-photon splitting.These singularities are factorized to all orders inαs and absorbed,at some arbitrary fragmentation scale M F,into quark and gluon fragmentation functions to a photon,Dγ/c(z,M2F). When the fragmentation scale M F,chosen of the order of the hard scale of the subprocess,is large compared to any typical hadronic scale∼1GeV,these functions behave roughly asα/αs(M2F). Then a power counting argument tells that these fragmentation contributions are asymptotically of the same order inαs as the Born term.A consistent NLO calculation thus requires the inclusion of the O(αs)corrections to these contributions.Note that the singularity appearing in the processγg→γq¯q when thefinal state photon is emitted by the quark and becomes collinear,is subtracted and absorbed by the fragmentation function at the scale M F,as explained above.Therefore both the”direct direct”and the”direct fragmentation”parts separately depend strongly on M F and the attribution of thefinite terms to either of these parts is scheme dependent.Only in the sum of these parts the M F dependenceflattens as expected.The collinear singularities appearing at NLO if the incident photon splits into a collinear q¯q pair are absorbed into the functions F q/γ(xγ,M)at the factorization scale M.(Analogous for theorderFigure1:Examples of direct direct and direct fragmentation contributions at leadingFigure3:The box contributionproton distribution functions F b/p(x p,M p);we will set M p=M in the following.)Thus,by the same reasoning as above for thefinal state,the”initial direct”and”initial resolved”parts separately show a strong dependence on M which cancels out in the sum.Therefore it has to be stressed that only the sum over all four parts has a physical meaning.Figure5illustrates these cancellation mechanisms.The overall reduction of the scale dependence when going from leading to next-to-leading order can be seen in Fig.4.The scales M F and M have been set equal toµ,andµhas been varied between µ=pγT/2andµ=2pγT.One can see that the NLO cross section is much more stable against scale variations,it varies by less than10%in thisµrange.Figure4:Dependence of the total cross section on scale variations.µ=M=M F is varied between µ=pγT/2andµ=2pγT.Figure5:Cancellation of the leading dependence on the fragmentation scale M F between con-tributions from direct and fragmentationfinal states,and on the factorization scale M between parts with direct and resolved initial state.The results are normalized to the total cross section at M F=M=µ=pγT.2.2Treatment of infrared singularitiesThere are basically two methods to isolate the infrared singularities appearing in the calculation at NLO:The phase space slicing method[15]and the subtraction method[16].The method used here follows the approach of[11,14]which combines these two techniques.We will outline the strategy only shortly,for more details we refer to[11].For a generic reaction1+2→3+4+5,at least two particles of thefinal state,say3and4, have a high p T and are well separated in phase space,while the last one,say5,can be soft,and/or collinear to either of the four others.In order to extract these singularities,the phase space is cut into two regions:–part I where the norm p T5of the transverse momentum of particle5is required to be less than some arbitrary value p T m taken to be small compared to the other transverse momenta.This cylinder contains the infrared and the initial state collinear singularities.It also containsa small fraction of thefinal state collinear singularities.–parts II a(b)where the transverse momentum vector of the particle5is required to have a norm larger than p T m,and to belong to a cone C3(C4)about the direction of particle3(4), defined by(η5−ηi)2+(φ5−φi)2≤R2th(i=3,4),with R th some small arbitrary number.C3(C4)contains thefinal state collinear singularities appearing when5is collinear to3(4).–part II c where p T5is required to have a norm larger than p T m,and to belong to neither of the two cones C3,C4.This slice yields no divergence,and can thus be treated directly in4 dimensions.The contributions from regions I and IIa,b are calculated analytically in d=4−2ǫdimensions and then combined with the corresponding virtual corrections such that the infrared singularities cancel, except for the initial(resp.final)state collinear singularities,which are factorized and absorbed into the parton distribution(resp.fragmentation)functions.After the cancellation,thefinite remainders of the soft and collinear contributions in parts I and II a,b,c separately depend on large logarithms ln p T m,ln2p T m and ln R th.When combining the different parts,the following cancellations of the p T m and R th dependences occur:In part I,thefinite terms are approximated by collecting all the terms depending logarithmically on p T m and neglecting the terms proportional to powers of p T m.On the contrary,the R th dependence in the conical parts II a and II b,is kept exactly.This means that an exact cancellation of the dependence on the unphysical parameter R th between part II c and parts II a,b occurs,whereas the cancellation of the unphysical parameter p T m between parts II c,II a,b and part I is only approximate. The parameter p T m must be chosen small enough with respect to pγT in order that the neglected terms can be safely dropped out.On the other hand,it cannot be chosen too small since otherwise numerical instabilities occur.We have investigated the stability of the cross section by varying p T m and R th between0.005and0.1(see Figure6)and accordingly chosen the optimal values p T m=0.05GeV,R th=0.05.Figure6:Dependence of the total cross section on variations of the slicing parameter p T m.Rσdenotes the total(nonisolated)cross section normalized to the total cross section evaluated with p T m=0.005,Rσ(p T m)=σtot(p T m)/σtot(p T m=0.005).One can see that there is a plateau where the cross section is fairly insensitive to variations of p T m.The same study has been made for the dependence on R th,but there the cross section is completely stable within the numerical errors since the R th dependence has been kept exactly in all parts of the matrix element.2.3Implementation of isolation cutsIn order to single out the prompt photon events from the huge background of secondary photons produced by the decays ofπ0,η,ωmesons,isolation cuts have to be imposed on the photon signals in the experiment.A commonly used isolation criterion is the following4:A photon is isolated if, inside a cone centered around the photon direction in the rapidity and azimuthal angle plane,theamount of hadronic transverse energy E hadT deposited is smaller than some value E T maxfixed bythe experiment:(η−ηγ)2+(φ−φγ)2≤R2expE hadT≤E T max (4) Following the conventions of the ZEUS collaboration,we used E T max=ǫpγT withǫ=0.1and R exp=1.Isolation not only reduces the background from secondary photons,but also substantially reduces the fragmentation components,as will be illustrated in section3.1.Furthermore,it is important to note that the isolation parameters must be carefullyfixed in order to allow a comparison between data and perturbative QCD calculations.Indeed a part of the hadronic energy measured in the cone may come from the underlying event;therefore even the direct contribution can be cut by the isolation condition if the latter is too stringent.Let us estimate the importance of this effect and assume that the underlying event one-particle inclusive distribution is given bydn(1)2π4p T ,(5)n(1)being normalized to¯n particles per unit of rapidity.The probability that the isolation condition is fulfilled by a particle from an underlying event isn(1)isol= cone dφdη ∞E T max p T dp T dn(1)2 1+2E T max p T (6) With the ZEUS isolation parameters,E T max=0.5GeV for a photon of pγT=ing¯n=3 and p T ≈0.35GeV extracted from[18],one obtainsn(1)isol≈0.33This estimation is very rough and underestimates the true effect because there is also a non-negligible probability to fulfill the isolation condition with two underlying particles falling into the cone.Only a detailed Monte Carlo description of the underlying events can allow a reliable estimate of this non-perturbative effect.Here we just note that the cut put by ZEUS(E T max≈0.5GeV)is likely to be too low to eliminate any underlying event contamination and therefore makes a comparison between the partonic level QCD predictions and the(hadronic level)data difficult.2.4Features of the codeThe code consists of four subparts corresponding to each of the four categories of subprocesses. For each category,the functions corresponding to the parts I,II a,b,c described in section2.2are integrated separately with the numerical integration package BASES[23].Based on the grid produced by this integration,partonic events are generated with SPRING[23]and stored into an NTUPLE or histogrammed directly.It has to be emphasized that we generatefinal state partonic configurations.Hence this type of program does not provide an exclusive portrait offinal states as given by hadronic event generators like PYTHIA or HERWIG.On the other hand,the latter are only of some improved leading logarithmic accuracy.The information stored in the NTUPLE are the4-momenta of the outgoing particles,their types(i.e.quark,gluon or photon),the energy of the incident photon and, in the fragmentation cases,the longitudinal fragmentation variable associated with the photon from fragmentation.Furthermore a label is stored that allows to identify the origin of the event,e.g.if it comes from a2→2or a2→3process.Based on the information contained in these NTUPLES, suitable observables can be defined and different jet algorithms can be studied.The isolation cuts are included already at the integration level,but the user of the program can turn isolation on or offand vary the input parameters for the isolation cut at will.3Numerical results and comparison to ZEUS dataIn this section we present some numerical results for isolated prompt photon production.We restrict ourselves to the inclusive case,photon+jet production will be discussed in detail in a forthcoming publication.For the parton distributions in the proton we take the MRST2[19]parametrization.Our de-fault choice for the photon distribution functions is AFG[20],for comparisons we also used the GRV[21]distributions transformed to the(7)2E ewhere the sum is over all calorimeter cells,E is the energy deposited in the cell and p z=E cosθ.In order to obtain the”true”photon energy y,corrections for detector effects and energy calibration have to be applied to y JB.These corrections are assumed to be uniform over the whole y range and enter into the experimental systematic error.However,as the background varies with the photon energy y,these corrections may not be uniform.It has to be emphasized that the cross section is very sensitive to a variation of the energy range of the photon.(See Figure12and discussion below.)3.1Numerical results for inclusive prompt photon productionIf not stated otherwise,all plots showing the photon rapidity(ηγ)dependence are integrated over 5GeV<pγT<10GeV and0.2<y=Eγ/E e<0.9.Figure7shows a comparison of the NLO to the leading order result for the isolated cross section dσ/dηγThe importance of the box contribution is clearly visible.The higher order corrections enhance the isolated cross section by about40%.Fig.8shows the rapidity distribution of the full cross section before and after isolation.As already mentioned in section2.3,we used the isolation cuts E T max=ǫpγT withǫ=0.1and R exp =1to match those of the ZEUS collaboration.Fig.8also shows the effect of isolation on thefragmentation part5separately.Isolation reduces the fragmentation component to about6%of the total isolated cross section.In Fig.9the relative magnitude of all four components contributing to dσep→γX/dηγbefore and after isolation is shown.Note that isolation increases the contributions with a direct photon in the final state slightly since there the cut mainly acts on a negative term,which is the one where parton 5is collinear to the photon.It should be emphasized that Figure9has to be read with care since the individual parts have no physical meaning and are very sensitive to scale changes.Nevertheless the dominance of the resolved direct part remains if we choose e.g.µ=M=M F=pγT/2or2pγT.Figure10shows the relative magnitude of contributions from resolved and direct photons in the initial state to the isolated cross section.From the pγT distribution one can conclude that theresolved part dominates the cross section for small values of pγT such that it would be useful to lookat the photon rapidity distribution at pγT=5GeV in order to discriminate between different parton distribution functions in the photon.Since the gluon distribution in the photon is of particular interest,the sensitivity to the gluon in the photon is investigated in Fig.11.One can see that the gluon distribution in the photon starts to become sizeable only for photon rapiditiesηγ>1and dominates over the quark distribution for aboutηγ>2.5.Therefore the region of large photon rapidities and small photon p T is the one where the sensitivity to the gluon in the photon is largest.In order to test further the sensitivity to the gluon,we increased the gluon distribution in the photon uniformly by20%.As can be anticipated from Fig.11,the effect becomes sizeable only forηγ>2and leads to an increase of the cross section by about10%forηγ>2.5.We conclude that in the regionηγ<1,there is basically no sensitivity to the gluon in the photon.However,investigating the photon+jet cross section instead of the inclusive case offers larger possibilities to constrain the gluon in the photon since there one can vary the photon and the jet rapidities in order to single out a kinematic region where the sensitivity is large[24].Figure12shows the effect of a ten percent uncertainty in the”true”bounds of the photon energy y.One can see that a change of the lower bound on y has a large effect,in particular at large photon rapidities.This comes from the fact that the Weizs¨a cker-Williams distribution is large and steeply falling at small y.Increasing the lower bound on y therefore removes a large fraction of the direct events with lower energy initial photons.(y=x e for the direct events and largeηγcorrespond to small x e.)At large photon rapidities the spread due to the use of different parton distribution functions for the photon is smaller than the one caused by a10%variation of the lower bound on y.On the other hand,the region of large photon rapidities is of special interest since there the gluon in the photon is dominating.Therefore a small experimental error in the reconstruction of the ”true”photon energy is crucial in order to be able to discriminate between different sets of parton distribution functions in the photon.It has been tested that the effect of using different proton distribution functions–for example the CTEQ4M or the MRST1set of proton distribution functions–is of the order of3%at most. In all photon rapidity bins the spread is smaller than the one caused by different sets of photon distribution functions(which is about10%at small photon rapidities,see e.g.Fig.14).Thus a discrimination between different sets of photon distribution functions should be possible with the forthcoming full1996-2000data set analysis,where the errors on the data are expected to be small enough.Figure7:Comparison of NLO to LO result for the photon rapidity distribution.Figure8:Effect of isolation on the photon rapidity distribution dσep→γX/dηγfor the full cross section and for the fragmentation components separately.Isolation withǫ=0.1,R exp=1.Figure9:Relative magnitude of all four components contributing to dσep→γX/dηγfor the scale.choiceµ=M=M F=pγTFigure10:Comparison of contributions from resolved and direct photons in the initial state for the photon rapidity and transverse momentum distribution,with isolation.Figure11:Ratio of the contribution from quark resp.gluon distributions in the photon to the fullresolved part.Figure12:Photon rapidity distribution dσep→γX/dηγfor isolated prompt photons integrated over5GeV<pγT <10GeV and different lower bounds on y.Solid line:0.2<y<0.9with AFG photonstructure functions,dotted line:bounds on y changed by about10%,dashed line:0.2<y<0.9 with GRV photon structure functions3.2Comparison with ZEUS dataIn this section we compare our results to the ZEUS1996-97data on inclusive prompt photon photoproduction[13].Figures13and14show the photon p T and rapidity distributions with AFG resp.GRV sets of structure functions for the photon.For the p T distribution the agreement between data and theory is quite good.In the rapidity distribution(Fig.14)the datafluctuate a lot,such that the agreement is still satisfactory.However,it seems that theory underpredicts the data in the backward region,whereas the theoretical prediction tends to be higher at large photon rapidities. The curves of Gordon[7]and Krawczyk/Zembrzuski[8]given in[13]also show this trend.At high ηγthe reason for the difference could be that the isolation cut in the experiment removes more events than in the theoretical(parton level)simulation,as discussed in section2.3.Figure15shows that the discrepancy between theory and data at lowηγcomes mainly from the domain of small photon energies,whereas the discrepancy at largeηγis only present in the range of large photon energies.Note that at largeηγand large y the resolved part dominates and the underlying event could have a large multiplicity.Therefore the isolation criterion could also cut on the non-fragmentation contributions as discussed in section2.3.Figure13:Comparison to ZEUS data of photon p T distribution dσep→γX/dpγT for isolated prompt photons.Results for two different sets of parton distributions in the photon are shown.Figure14:Comparison to ZEUS data of photon rapidity distribution dσep→γX/dηγfor isolated prompt photons.Figure15:Photon rapidity distribution dσep→γX/dηγintegrated over5GeV<pγT<10GeV and different subdivisions of photon energies:(a)0.2<y<0.32,(b)0.32<y<0.5,(c)0.5<y<0.9.4ConclusionsWe have presented a program for prompt photon photoproduction which includes the full next-to-leading order corrections to all contributing subparts.It is a general purpose code of partonic event generator type and as such veryflexible.We used it to study the possibility to constrain the quark and gluon distributions in the photon. It turned out that the sensitivity to the gluon distribution in the photon is negligible in the rapidity range−0.7<ηγ<0.9studied by ZEUS.A discrimination between the AFG/GRV sets of parton distributions in the photon is not possible with the present experimental errors on the ZEUS1996/97data.However,a forthcoming analysis of all1996-2000data announced by the ZEUS collaboration will drastically improve this situation.We have shown that the cross section is very sensitive to small variations of the photon en-ergy range.Therefore a good control of the experimental error on the photon energy fraction y (reconstructed experimentally from the Jacquet-Blondel variable y JB)will be crucial for future comparisons.Despite the largefluctuations of the data,one can say that there is a trend that theory overpre-dicts the data in the forward region.The reason might be that the isolation cut imposed at partonic level in the perturbative QCD calculation does not have the same effect as the experimental one.If the experimental cut is too stringent,a large fraction of the hadronic energy in the isolation cone may come from underlying events,such that experimentally a larger number of events is rejected. We gave a rough estimate of the underlying events to be expected in the isolation cone.The possibilities offered by the study of photon+jet photoproduction will be investigated in a forthcoming publication[24].AcknowledgementsWe would like to thank P.Bussey from the ZEUS collaboration for helpful discussions.G.H. would like to thank the LAPTH for its continuous hospitality.This work was supported by the EU Fourth Training Programme”Training and Mobility of Researchers”,network”Quantum Chromo-dynamics and the Deep Structure of Elementary Particles”,contract FMRX–CT98–0194(DG12-MIHT).References[1]D.W.Duke and J.F.Owens,Phys.Rev.D26,1600(1982).[2]P.Aurenche,A.Douiri,R.Baier,M.Fontannaz and D.Schiff,Z.Phys.C24,309(1984).[3]A.C.Bawa,M.Krawczyk and W.J.Stirling,Z.Phys.C50,293(1991).[4]P.Aurenche,P.Chiappetta,M.Fontannaz,J.Ph.Guillet and E.Pilon,Z.Phys.C56,589(1992).[5]L.E.Gordon and J.K.Storrow,Z.Phys.C63,581(1994).[6]L.E.Gordon and W.Vogelsang,Phys.Rev.D52,58(1995).[7]L.E.Gordon,Phys.Rev.D57,235(1998).[8]M.Krawczyk and A.Zembrzuski,hep-ph/9810253.。
四步相移结构光的英文
English:
Four-step phase-shifting structured light is a method used in 3D scanning and measurement. It involves projecting a series of structured light patterns onto the subject being scanned, with each pattern shifted by a fraction of the pattern cycle. By phase-shifting the projected patterns, it is possible to extract depth information from the captured images, allowing for the reconstruction of a 3D model of the subject with high precision and resolution. This method is commonly used in industrial metrology, quality control, and reverse engineering applications.

图像风格迁移算法流程There are various algorithms for image style transfer, which is a popular topic in the field of computer vision and image processing. 图像风格迁移是计算机视觉和图像处理领域一项热门话题,有各种算法可供选择。
One of the most well-known algorithms for image style transfer is the Gatys et al. algorithm, which utilizes neural networks to transfer the style of one image onto the content of another. 其中,最广为人知的算法之一是Gatys等人的算法,该算法利用神经网络将一个图像的风格转移到另一个图像的内容上。
The basic idea behind this algorithm is to use a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) to extract features from both the style reference image and the content image. 该算法的基本思想是利用预训练的卷积神经网络(CNN)从风格参考图像和内容图像中提取特征。
Then, a new image is initialized with the content image and iteratively updated to minimize the difference between its contentfeatures and those of the content image, and its style features and those of the style reference image. 然后,使用内容图像初始化一个新图像,并迭代更新,以最小化它的内容特征与内容图像的差异,以及它的风格特征与风格参考图像的差异。

Coupled equations for reverse time migration in transversely isotropic mediaPaul J.Fowler 1,Xiang Du 2,and Robin P .Fletcher 2ABSTRACTReverse time migration ͑RTM ͒images reflectors by using time-extrapolation modeling codes to synthesize source and receiver wavefields in the subsurface.Asymptotic analysis of wave propagation in transversely isotropic ͑TI ͒media yields a dispersion relation describing coupled P-and SV-wave modes.This dispersion relation can be converted into a fourth-order scalar partial differential equation ͑PDE ͒.In-creased computational efficiency can be achieved using equivalent coupled second-order PDEs.Analysis of the cor-responding dispersion relations as matrix eigenvalue systems allows one to characterize all possible coupled linear second-order systems equivalent to a given linear fourth-order PDE and to determine which ones yield optimally efficient finite-difference implementations.Setting the shear velocity along the axis of symmetry to zero yields a simpler approximate TI wave equation that is more efficient to implement.This sim-pler approximation,however,can become unstable for some plausible combinations of anisotropic parameters.The same eigensystem analysis can be applied using finite vertical shear velocity to obtain solutions that avoid these instability problems.INTRODUCTIONReverse time migration ͑RTM ͒propagates source wavefields for-ward in time and recorded receiver wavefields backward in time to enable the imaging of subsurface reflectors ͑Baysal et al.,1983;Mc-Mechan,1983;Whitmore,1983;de Faria et al.,1986;Etgen,1986;Hellmann et al.,1986;Chen,1987͒.It correctly handles multipath-ing and phase changes due to caustics.It has no intrinsic dip limita-tion and allows imaging of overturned and prismatic reflections.Re-verse time migration is thus a powerful tool for imaging complex structures,especially when implemented on prestack data.Most imaging of surface seismic data treats the wavefields as rep-resenting only primary energy and only P-wave modes.In isotropic media,it is common to use scalar acoustic wave equations to de-scribe time extrapolation of P-waves for RTM.However,anisotrop-ic media are inherently described by elastic-wave equations,with P-wave and S-wave modes usually intrinsically coupled.It could be possible to model propagation of anisotropic elastic waves incorpo-rating simultaneous separation of different wave modes in the sub-surface for imaging ͑Dellinger and Etgen,1990͒but the implemen-tation of such separation methods and corresponding anisotropic elastic imaging conditions remains a subject for ongoing research ͑Yan and Sava,2008͒.Moreover,modeling elastic waves is compu-tationally much more expensive than modeling acoustic waves.Rather than solving anisotropic elastic-wave equations,several authors have derived simpler two-way wave equations that can be efficiently solved to perform pseudo-acoustic anisotropic RTM.Alkhalifah ͑1998,2000͒introduces an approximate dispersion rela-tion for transversely isotropic ͑TI ͒media with a vertical symmetry axis ͑VTI media ͒based on setting the shear velocity along the axis of symmetry to zero.Direct implementation of Alkhalifah’s dispersion relation in space-time leads to a complicated fourth-order partial dif-ferential equation ͑PDE ͒.Other authors have implemented acoustic VTI modeling and migration based on various coupled second-order wave equations derived from Alkhalifah’s dispersion relation ͑Alkhalifah,2000;Klie and Toro,2001;Zhou et al.,2006a ;Hestholm,2007;Du et al.,2008͒.Alternatively,Duveneck et al.͑2008͒derive coupled first-order and second-order VTI wave equa-tions starting from Hooke’s law and the equations of motion with the vertical shear velocity again set to zero.In practice,one wants to be able to image data for tilted transverse isotropic ͑TTI ͒media not just VTI.Tilting the symmetry axis rela-tive to the coordinates does not add any new physics,just more alge-braic complexity.Extensions of coupled wave equations to TTI me-dia have been considered previously by several authors ͑Zhou et al.,2006b ;Fletcher et al.,2008;Zhang and Zhang,2008͒.The analysis and methods derived in the current paper can also be extended to TTI media;however,doing so introduces further computational com-Manuscript received by the Editor 30April 2009;revised manuscript received 22July 2009;published online 2February 2010.1WesternGeco,Denver,Colorado,U.S.A.E-mail:pfowler1@.2WesternGeco,Schlumberger House,West Sussex,UK.E-mail:xdu@crawley.oilfi;rfletcher1@.©2010Society of Exploration Geophysicists.All rights reserved.GEOPHYSICS,V OL.75,NO.1͑JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2010͒;P.S11–S22,7FIGS.10.1190/1.3294572S11D o w n l o a d e d 04/19/15 t o 121.251.254.73.

interpretations of wavefield variables in a later section.Because most current RTM algorithms image only P-waves,it is common to use the simpler dispersion relation instead ͑Alkhalifah,2000͒:0ס4p מ͓v

modeling using equation 4still generates P-and SV-wave arrivals.Alkhalifah ͑2000͒treats the shear arrivals from equation 4as artifacts but theyare correctly modeled SV-waves for a VTI medium that has v sz ס0͑Grechka et al.,2004͒.We know of no laboratory or field measure-ments relevant to exploration seismology that demonstrate physical SV-waves propagating according to equation 4.However,it has been suggested that such a medium ͑VTI with v sz ס0͒might arise from the low-frequency averaging of finely layered liquids ͑Molot-kov and Khilo,1986͒or similar averaging of solid layers with per-fect-slip boundaries ͑Schoenberg,1983͒.Functionally,the impor-tance of equation 4in the context of RTM is that it is simpler in form and requires fewer parameters than equation 2but it still models P-wave arrivals that are nearly indistinguishable for practical imag-ing purposes from those of equation 2͑Alkhalifah,2000͒.Equations 2and 4are fourth-order PDEs in time and space and contain mixed space and time derivatives.To increase efficiency of finite-difference implementations,most published methods instead have used coupled PDEs derived from equation 4that are only sec-ond order in time and eliminate the mixed space-time derivatives.Alkhalifah ͑2000͒suggests using the coupled equationsץ2q ץt 2סv px 2ͩץ2q ץx 2םץ2q ץy 2ͪםv pz 2ץ2q ץz2מv pz 2͑v px 2מv pn 2͒ϫͩץ4r ץx 2ץz 2םץ4rץy 2ץz

second-order time deriva-tives and isolates them explicitly on the left-hand side of the equa-tions with no mixing of time and space derivatives.This is easier and more efficient than equation 4to implement via finite-difference so-lutions.Zhou et al.͑2006a ͒suggest an alternative set of coupled equations given byץ2q ץt 2סv pn 2ͩץ2q ץx 2םץ2q ץy 2ͪםv pz 2ץ2q ץz 2םv pn 2ͩץ2r ץx 2םץ2r ץy 2ͪץ2r ץt

space deriv-atives appear.These can be implemented by 1D convolutional finite-difference operators unlike the mixed fourth-order space derivatives in equation 5,which require more computationally expensive 2D convolutions.Du et al.͑2008͒and Zhang and Zhang ͑2008͒propose a third set of similar coupled equations:ץ2q ץt 2סv px 2ͩץ2q ץx 2םץ2q ץy 2ͪםv pz 2ץ2r ץz 2ץ2r ץt 2סv pn 2ͩץ2q ץx 2םץ2q ץy

given single polynomial relation.If a particular coupled sys-tem is defined by the coefficient matrix A ,then any invertible 2ϫ2matrix M induces a change of variables q ЈסM מ1q and the matrix B סM מ1AM will then define another equivalent coupled system Bq Јס2q Ј.This follows from recognizing that similarity transfor-mations preserve eigenvalues and so will have the same characteris-tic polynomial ͑Strang,1980͒.As a corollary,note that if one has two equivalent systems,Aq ס2q and Bq Јס2q Ј,then the two sets of variables will be related byq ЈסS A מ1S B q ,͑13͒where S A and S B represent the matrices whose columns are theeigenvectors of A and B ,respectively.We note here a few useful specific examples of generating equiva-lent coupled systems by similarity transforms.First,note that thechange of variables induced by the matrix M ס͑0110͒converts thesystem defined by A ס͑a bc d ͒into one defined by B סM מ1AMס͑d c b a ͒and ͑q Јr Ј͒סM מ1͑q r ͒ס͑0110͒͑q r ͒ס͑r q ͒.Thus,interchanging the coefficients a ↔d and b ↔c simply interchanges the meanings of the wavefield variables q and r .This symmetry implies that one needs to analyze only half the possible coefficient cases;the other half will follow from a trivial interchange of variables.Second,the interchange of variables induced by the matrixM ס͑00␣͒converts the system defined by A ס͑a bc d ͒into

crosscou-pling coefficients upward if the other is scaled correspondingly downward.This scaling works for the corresponding space-time PDEs as well.As one simple example,if A represents the coeffi-cients of equation 7͑Du et al.,2008͒and B similarly represents the coefficients of equation 8͑Duveneck et al.,2008͒,the two coeffi-cient matrices are related by B סM מ1AM for the matrix Mס͑100v pn /v pz ͒.Thus,if ͑q ,r ͒represents a wavefield modeled using equation 7and ͑q Ј,r Ј͒represents a wavefield modeled using equa-tion 8,the wavefield variables will be related by ͑q Јr Ј͒סM מ1͑qr ͒ס͑100v pz /v pn ͒͑q r ͒ס͑q v pz r /v pn ͒ס͑qr /ͱ1ם2␦͒.Thus,one expects that the q wavefields for the two methods should be the same whereas the r wavefields should differ by the simple amplitude scalar 1/ͱ1ם2␦.Note that this scaling applies to the free-space propagat-ing wavefield but the amplitudes of modeled data depend also on the specific source functions used,which also must be scaled appropri-ately.Thus,for wavefields modeled using equations 7and 8,one willhave ͑q Јr Ј͒ס͑qr /ͱ1ם2␦͒,provided one also uses source functions scaled so that ͑q 0Јr 0Ј͒ס͑q 0r 0/ͱ1ם2␦͒.As a third example,the matrix M ס͑1110͒converts the coefficients of equation 7͑Du et al.,2008͒into those of equation 6͑Zhou et al.,2006b ͒via the similarity transform M מ1AM .One thus expects that if ͑q ,r

satisfy the same condition,i.e.,͑q 0Јr 0Ј͒ס͑r 0q 0מr 0͒.Thiscan be verified numerically from the respective modeling responsesin Figure 1because the sources ͑q 0r 0͒ס͑11͒and ͑q 0Јr 0Ј͒ס͑10͒usedthere

全息照相的原理英语作文The principle of holographic photography is based on the interference pattern created by the interaction oflight waves. This pattern captures the three-dimensional information of an object, allowing us to reproduce a realistic and detailed image.Holographic photography uses a laser beam to illuminate the object and a photosensitive material to record the interference pattern. The laser light is coherent, meaning that all the light waves have the same frequency and phase, which is essential for creating a clear and sharp hologram.When the laser light reflects off the object, it combines with the reference beam to create an interference pattern on the photosensitive material. This pattern contains information about the object's shape, size, and texture, allowing us to reconstruct a lifelike image when the hologram is illuminated with laser light.Unlike traditional photography, holographic photography captures the complete wavefront of light, preserving both the intensity and phase information. This allows us to reproduce not only the appearance of the object but alsoits depth and spatial relationships, creating a truly realistic representation.One of the key advantages of holographic photography is its ability to capture and display three-dimensional images without the need for special glasses or viewing devices. This makes holograms an ideal tool for scientific research, medical imaging, and artistic expression, opening up new possibilities for visual communication and storytelling.In conclusion, holographic photography offers a unique and powerful way to capture and reproduce three-dimensional images with unparalleled realism and detail. By harnessing the principles of interference and wavefront reconstruction, holograms enable us to experience the world in a new and immersive way, pushing the boundaries of visual representation and storytelling.。

这个问题的基本几何学很好理解,对于每个图像由一个估计的3×3的摄像机矩阵或对应矩阵组成。
估计处理通常由用户输入近似的校直图像或者一个固定的图像序列来初始化,例如,佳能数码相机内的图像拼接软件需要水平或垂直扫描,或图像的方阵。
在自动定位进行前,第4版的REALVIZ拼接软件有一个用户界面,用鼠标在图像大致定位,而我们的研究是有新意的,因为不需要提供这样的初始化。
根据研究文献,图像自动对齐和拼接的方法大致可分为两类——直接的和基于特征的。
直接的方法有这样的优点,它们使用所有可利用的图像数据,因此可以提供非常准确的定位,但是需要一个只有细微差别的初始化处理。

视觉的传导机制英语作文Visual Transduction Mechanisms。
Phototransduction is the process by which electromagnetic radiation, such as light, is converted into neural signals.Transduction occurs in specialized cells called photoreceptors, which are located in the retina of the eye.There are two types of photoreceptors: rods and cones.Rods are sensitive to low levels of light and are used for vision in dim light conditions, such as at night.Cones are sensitive to higher levels of light and are used for vision in bright light conditions, such as during the day.The transduction mechanism in photoreceptors involvesa series of biochemical reactions that ultimately lead to the opening of ion channels in the cell membrane.This opening of ion channels allows ions to flow into the cell, which depolarizes the membrane and generates a neural signal.The neural signal is then transmitted to the brain via the optic nerve.中文回答:视觉传导机制。
History of infrared detectorsA.ROGALSKI*Institute of Applied Physics, Military University of Technology, 2 Kaliskiego Str.,00–908 Warsaw, PolandThis paper overviews the history of infrared detector materials starting with Herschel’s experiment with thermometer on February11th,1800.Infrared detectors are in general used to detect,image,and measure patterns of the thermal heat radia−tion which all objects emit.At the beginning,their development was connected with thermal detectors,such as ther−mocouples and bolometers,which are still used today and which are generally sensitive to all infrared wavelengths and op−erate at room temperature.The second kind of detectors,called the photon detectors,was mainly developed during the20th Century to improve sensitivity and response time.These detectors have been extensively developed since the1940’s.Lead sulphide(PbS)was the first practical IR detector with sensitivity to infrared wavelengths up to~3μm.After World War II infrared detector technology development was and continues to be primarily driven by military applications.Discovery of variable band gap HgCdTe ternary alloy by Lawson and co−workers in1959opened a new area in IR detector technology and has provided an unprecedented degree of freedom in infrared detector design.Many of these advances were transferred to IR astronomy from Departments of Defence ter on civilian applications of infrared technology are frequently called“dual−use technology applications.”One should point out the growing utilisation of IR technologies in the civilian sphere based on the use of new materials and technologies,as well as the noticeable price decrease in these high cost tech−nologies.In the last four decades different types of detectors are combined with electronic readouts to make detector focal plane arrays(FPAs).Development in FPA technology has revolutionized infrared imaging.Progress in integrated circuit design and fabrication techniques has resulted in continued rapid growth in the size and performance of these solid state arrays.Keywords:thermal and photon detectors, lead salt detectors, HgCdTe detectors, microbolometers, focal plane

that infra−red radiation(IR)itself was unknown until212years ago when Herschel’s experiment with thermometer and prism was first reported.Frederick William Herschel(1738–1822) was born in Hanover,Germany but emigrated to Britain at age19,where he became well known as both a musician and an astronomer.Herschel became most famous for the discovery of Uranus in1781(the first new planet found since antiquity)in addition to two of its major moons,Tita−nia and Oberon.He also discovered two moons of Saturn and infrared radiation.Herschel is also known for the twenty−four symphonies that he composed.W.Herschel made another milestone discovery–discov−ery of infrared light on February11th,1800.He studied the spectrum of sunlight with a prism[see Fig.1in Ref.1],mea−suring temperature of each colour.The detector consisted of liquid in a glass thermometer with a specially blackened bulb to absorb radiation.Herschel built a crude monochromator that used a thermometer as a detector,so that he could mea−sure the distribution of energy in sunlight and found that the highest temperature was just beyond the red,what we now call the infrared(‘below the red’,from the Latin‘infra’–be−OPTO−ELECTRONICS REVIEW20(3),279–308DOI: 10.2478/s11772−012−0037−7*e−mail: rogan@.pllow)–see Fig.1(b)[2].In April 1800he reported it to the Royal Society as dark heat (Ref.1,pp.288–290):Here the thermometer No.1rose 7degrees,in 10minu−tes,by an exposure to the full red coloured rays.I drew back the stand,till the centre of the ball of No.1was just at the vanishing

rising of 9de−grees,and here the difference is almost too trifling to suppose,that latter situation of the thermometer was much beyond the maximum of the heating power;while,at the same time,the experiment sufficiently indi−cates,that the place inquired after need not be looked for at a greater distance.Making further experiments on what Herschel called the ‘calorific rays’that existed beyond the red part of the spec−trum,he found that they were reflected,refracted,absorbed and transmitted just like visible light [1,3,4].The early history of IR was reviewed about 50years ago in three well−known monographs [5–7].Many historical information can be also found in four papers published by Barr [3,4,8,9]and in more recently published monograph [10].Table 1summarises the historical development of infrared physics and technology [11,12].2.Historical perspectiveFor thirty years following Herschel’s discovery,very little progress was made beyond establishing that the infrared ra−diation obeyed the simplest laws of optics.Slow progress inthe study of infrared was caused by the lack of sensitive and accurate detectors –the experimenters were handicapped by the ordinary thermometer.However,towards the second de−cade of the 19th century,Thomas Johann Seebeck began to examine the junction behaviour of electrically conductive materials.In 1821he discovered that a small electric current will flow in a closed circuit of two dissimilar metallic con−ductors,when their junctions are kept at different tempera−tures [13].During that time,most physicists thought that ra−diant heat and light were different phenomena,and the dis−covery of Seebeck indirectly contributed to a revival of the debate on the nature of heat.Due to small output vol−tage of Seebeck’s junctions,some μV/K,the measurement of very small temperature differences were prevented.In 1829L.Nobili made the first thermocouple and improved electrical thermometer based on the thermoelectric effect discovered by Seebeck in 1826.Four years later,M.Melloni introduced the idea of connecting several bismuth−copper thermocouples in series,generating a higher and,therefore,measurable output voltage.It was at least 40times more sensitive than the best thermometer available and could de−tect the heat from a person at a distance of 30ft [8].The out−put voltage of such a thermopile structure linearly increases with the number of connected thermocouples.An example of thermopile’s prototype invented by Nobili is shown in Fig.2(a).It consists of twelve large bismuth and antimony elements.The elements were placed upright in a brass ring secured to an adjustable support,and were screened by a wooden disk with a 15−mm central aperture.Incomplete version of the Nobili−Melloni thermopile originally fitted with the brass cone−shaped tubes to collect ra−diant heat is shown in Fig.2(b).This instrument was much more sensi−tive than the thermometers previously used and became the most widely used detector of IR radiation for the next half century.The third member of the trio,Langley’s bolometer appea−red in 1880[7].Samuel Pierpont Langley (1834–1906)used two thin ribbons of platinum foil connected so as to form two arms of a Wheatstone bridge (see Fig.3)[15].This instrument enabled him to study solar irradiance far into its infrared region and to measure theintensityof solar radia−tion at various wavelengths [9,16,17].The bolometer’s sen−History of infrared detectorsFig.1.Herschel’s first experiment:A,B –the small stand,1,2,3–the thermometers upon it,C,D –the prism

Langley continued to develop his bolometer for the next20 years(400times more sensitive than his first efforts).His latest bolometer could detect the heat from a cow at a dis−tance of quarter of mile [9].From the above information results that at the beginning the development of the IR detectors was connected with ther−mal detectors.The first photon effect,photoconductive ef−fect,was discovered by Smith in1873when he experimented with selenium as an insulator for submarine cables[18].This discovery provided a fertile field of investigation for several decades,though most of the efforts were of doubtful quality. By1927,over1500articles and100patents were listed on photosensitive selenium[19].It should be mentioned that the literature of the early1900’s shows increasing interest in the application of infrared as solution to numerous problems[7].A special contribution of William Coblenz(1873–1962)to infrared radiometry and spectroscopy is marked by huge bib−liography containing hundreds of scientific publications, talks,and abstracts to his credit[20,21].In1915,W.Cob−lentz at the US National Bureau of Standards develops ther−mopile detectors,which he uses to measure the infrared radi−ation from110stars.However,the low sensitivity of early in−frared instruments prevented the detection of other near−IR sources.Work in infrared astronomy remained at a low level until breakthroughs in the development of new,sensitive infrared detectors were achieved in the late1950’s.The principle of photoemission was first demonstrated in1887when Hertz discovered that negatively charged par−ticles were emitted from a conductor if it was irradiated with ultraviolet[22].Further studies revealed that this effect could be produced with visible radiation using an alkali metal electrode [23].Rectifying properties of semiconductor−metal contact were discovered by Ferdinand Braun in1874[24],when he probed a naturally−occurring lead sulphide(galena)crystal with the point of a thin metal wire and noted that current flowed freely in one direction only.Next,Jagadis Chandra Bose demonstrated the use of galena−metal point contact to detect millimetre electromagnetic waves.In1901he filed a U.S patent for a point−contact semiconductor rectifier for detecting radio signals[25].This type of contact called cat’s whisker detector(sometimes also as crystal detector)played serious role in the initial phase of radio development.How−ever,this contact was not used in a radiation detector for the next several decades.Although crystal rectifiers allowed to fabricate simple radio sets,however,by the mid−1920s the predictable performance of vacuum−tubes replaced them in most radio applications.The period between World Wars I and II is marked by the development of photon detectors and image converters and by emergence of infrared spectroscopy as one of the key analytical techniques available to chemists.The image con−verter,developed on the eve of World War II,was of tre−mendous interest to the military because it enabled man to see in the dark.The first IR photoconductor was developed by Theodore W.Case in1917[26].He discovered that a substance com−posed of thallium and sulphur(Tl2S)exhibited photocon−ductivity.Supported by the US Army between1917and 1918,Case adapted these relatively unreliable detectors for use as sensors in an infrared signalling device[27].The pro−totype signalling system,consisting of a60−inch diameter searchlight as the source of radiation and a thallous sulphide detector at the focus of a24−inch diameter paraboloid mir−ror,sent messages18miles through what was described as ‘smoky atmosphere’in1917.However,instability of resis−tance in the presence of light or polarizing voltage,loss of responsivity due to over−exposure to light,high noise,slug−gish response and lack of reproducibility seemed to be inhe−rent weaknesses.Work was discontinued in1918;commu−nication by the detection of infrared radiation appeared dis−tinctly ter Case found that the addition of oxygen greatly enhanced the response [28].The idea of the electro−optical converter,including the multistage one,was proposed by Holst et al.in1928[29]. The first attempt to make the converter was not successful.A working tube consisted of a photocathode in close proxi−mity to a fluorescent screen was made by the authors in 1934 in Philips firm.In about1930,the appearance of the Cs−O−Ag photo−tube,with stable characteristics,to great extent discouraged further development of photoconductive cells until about 1940.The Cs−O−Ag photocathode(also called S−1)elabo−History of infrared detectorsFig.3.Longley’s bolometer(a)composed of two sets of thin plati−num strips(b),a Wheatstone bridge,a battery,and a galvanometer measuring electrical current (after Ref. 15 and 16).rated by Koller and Campbell[30]had a quantum efficiency two orders of magnitude above anything previously studied, and consequently a new era in photoemissive devices was inaugurated[31].In the same year,the Japanese scientists S. Asao and M.Suzuki reported a method for enhancing the sensitivity of silver in the S−1photocathode[32].Consisted of a layer of caesium on oxidized silver,S−1is sensitive with useful response in the near infrared,out to approxi−mately1.2μm,and the visible and ultraviolet region,down to0.3μm.Probably the most significant IR development in the United States during1930’s was the Radio Corporation of America(RCA)IR image tube.During World War II, near−IR(NIR)cathodes were coupled to visible phosphors to provide a NIR image converter.With the establishment of the National Defence Research Committee,the develop−ment of this tube was accelerated.In1942,the tube went into production as the RCA1P25image converter(see Fig.4).This was one of the tubes used during World War II as a part of the”Snooperscope”and”Sniperscope,”which were used for night observation with infrared sources of illumination.Since then various photocathodes have been developed including bialkali photocathodes for the visible region,multialkali photocathodes with high sensitivity ex−tending to the infrared region and alkali halide photocatho−des intended for ultraviolet detection.The early concepts of image intensification were not basically different from those today.However,the early devices suffered from two major deficiencies:poor photo−cathodes and poor ter development of both cathode and coupling technologies changed the image in−tensifier into much more useful device.The concept of image intensification by cascading stages was suggested independently by number of workers.In Great Britain,the work was directed toward proximity focused tubes,while in the United State and in Germany–to electrostatically focused tubes.A history of night vision imaging devices is given by Biberman and Sendall in monograph Electro−Opti−cal Imaging:System Performance and Modelling,SPIE Press,2000[10].The Biberman’s monograph describes the basic trends of infrared optoelectronics development in the USA,Great Britain,France,and Germany.Seven years later Ponomarenko and Filachev completed this monograph writ−ing the book Infrared Techniques and Electro−Optics in Russia:A History1946−2006,SPIE Press,about achieve−ments of IR techniques and electrooptics in the former USSR and Russia [33].In the early1930’s,interest in improved detectors began in Germany[27,34,35].In1933,Edgar W.Kutzscher at the University of Berlin,discovered that lead sulphide(from natural galena found in Sardinia)was photoconductive and had response to about3μm.B.Gudden at the University of Prague used evaporation techniques to develop sensitive PbS films.Work directed by Kutzscher,initially at the Uni−versity of Berlin and later at the Electroacustic Company in Kiel,dealt primarily with the chemical deposition approach to film formation.This work ultimately lead to the fabrica−tion of the most sensitive German detectors.These works were,of course,done under great secrecy and the results were not generally known until after1945.Lead sulphide photoconductors were brought to the manufacturing stage of development in Germany in about1943.Lead sulphide was the first practical infrared detector deployed in a variety of applications during the war.The most notable was the Kiel IV,an airborne IR system that had excellent range and which was produced at Carl Zeiss in Jena under the direction of Werner K. Weihe [6].In1941,Robert J.Cashman improved the technology of thallous sulphide detectors,which led to successful produc−tion[36,37].Cashman,after success with thallous sulphide detectors,concentrated his efforts on lead sulphide detec−tors,which were first produced in the United States at Northwestern University in1944.After World War II Cash−man found that other semiconductors of the lead salt family (PbSe and PbTe)showed promise as infrared detectors[38]. The early detector cells manufactured by Cashman are shown in Fig. 5.Fig.4.The original1P25image converter tube developed by the RCA(a).This device measures115×38mm overall and has7pins.It opera−tion is indicated by the schematic drawing (b).After1945,the wide−ranging German trajectory of research was essentially the direction continued in the USA, Great Britain and Soviet Union under military sponsorship after the war[27,39].Kutzscher’s facilities were captured by the Russians,thus providing the basis for early Soviet detector development.From1946,detector technology was rapidly disseminated to firms such as Mullard Ltd.in Southampton,UK,as part of war reparations,and some−times was accompanied by the valuable tacit knowledge of technical experts.E.W.Kutzscher,for example,was flown to Britain from Kiel after the war,and subsequently had an important influence on American developments when he joined Lockheed Aircraft Co.in Burbank,California as a research scientist.Although the fabrication methods developed for lead salt photoconductors was usually not completely under−stood,their properties are well established and reproducibi−lity could only be achieved after following well−tried reci−pes.Unlike most other semiconductor IR detectors,lead salt photoconductive materials are used in the form of polycrys−talline films approximately1μm thick and with individual crystallites ranging in size from approximately0.1–1.0μm. They are usually prepared by chemical deposition using empirical recipes,which generally yields better uniformity of response and more stable results than the evaporative methods.In order to obtain high−performance detectors, lead chalcogenide films need to be sensitized by oxidation. The oxidation may be carried out by using additives in the deposition bath,by post−deposition heat treatment in the presence of oxygen,or by chemical oxidation of the film. The effect of the oxidant is to introduce sensitizing centres and additional states into the bandgap and thereby increase the lifetime of the photoexcited holes in the p−type material.3.Classification of infrared detectorsObserving a history of the development of the IR detector technology after World War II,many materials have been investigated.A simple theorem,after Norton[40],can be stated:”All physical phenomena in the range of about0.1–1 eV will be proposed for IR detectors”.Among these effects are:thermoelectric power(thermocouples),change in elec−trical conductivity(bolometers),gas expansion(Golay cell), pyroelectricity(pyroelectric detectors),photon drag,Jose−phson effect(Josephson junctions,SQUIDs),internal emis−sion(PtSi Schottky barriers),fundamental absorption(in−trinsic photodetectors),impurity absorption(extrinsic pho−todetectors),low dimensional solids[superlattice(SL), quantum well(QW)and quantum dot(QD)detectors], different type of phase transitions, etc.Figure6gives approximate dates of significant develop−ment efforts for the materials mentioned.The years during World War II saw the origins of modern IR detector tech−nology.Recent success in applying infrared technology to remote sensing problems has been made possible by the successful development of high−performance infrared de−tectors over the last six decades.Photon IR technology com−bined with semiconductor material science,photolithogra−phy technology developed for integrated circuits,and the impetus of Cold War military preparedness have propelled extraordinary advances in IR capabilities within a short time period during the last century [41].The majority of optical detectors can be classified in two broad categories:photon detectors(also called quantum detectors) and thermal detectors.3.1.Photon detectorsIn photon detectors the radiation is absorbed within the material by interaction with electrons either bound to lattice atoms or to impurity atoms or with free electrons.The observed electrical output signal results from the changed electronic energy distribution.The photon detectors show a selective wavelength dependence of response per unit incident radiation power(see Fig.8).They exhibit both a good signal−to−noise performance and a very fast res−ponse.But to achieve this,the photon IR detectors require cryogenic cooling.This is necessary to prevent the thermalHistory of infrared detectorsFig.5.Cashman’s detector cells:(a)Tl2S cell(ca.1943):a grid of two intermeshing comb−line sets of conducting paths were first pro−vided and next the T2S was evaporated over the grid structure;(b) PbS cell(ca.1945)the PbS layer was evaporated on the wall of the tube on which electrical leads had been drawn with aquadag(afterRef. 38).。
Adaptive background mixture models for real-time tracking Chris Stauffer W.E.L GrimsonThe Artificial Intelligence LaboratoryMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyCambridge,MA02139AbstractA common method for real-time segmentation of moving regions in image sequences involves“back-ground subtraction,”or thresholding the error between an estimate of the image without moving objects and the current image.The numerous approaches to this problem differ in the type of background model used and the procedure used to update the model.This paper discusses modeling each pixel as a mixture of Gaus-sians and using an on-line approximation to update the model.The Gaussian distributions of the adaptive mixture model are then evaluated to determine which are most likelyto result f rom a background process. Each pixel is classified based on whether the Gaussian distribution which represents it most effectivelyis con-sidered part of the background model.This results in a stable,real-time outdoor tracker which reliablydeals with lighting changes,repetitive motions from clutter,and long-term scene changes. This system has been run almost continuously for16 months,24hours a day,through rain and snow.1IntroductionIn the past,computational barriers have limited the complexity of real-time video processing applications. As a consequence,most systems were either too slow to be practical,or succeeded by restricting themselves to very controlled situations.Recently,faster comput-ers have enabled researchers to consider more complex, robust models for real-time analysis of streaming data. These new methods allow researchers to begin model-ing real world processes under varying conditions.Consider the problem of video surveillance and monitoring.A robust system should not depend on careful placement of cameras.It should also be robust to whatever is in its visualfield or whatever lighting effects occur.It should be capable of dealing with movement through cluttered areas,objects overlap-ping in the visualfield,shadows,lighting changes,ef-fects of moving elements of the scene(e.g.swaying trees),slow-moving objects,and objects being intro-duced or removed from the scene.Traditional ap-proaches based on backgrounding methods typically fail in these general situations.Our goal is to cre-ate a robust,adaptive tracking system that isflexible enough to handle variations in lighting,moving scene clutter,multiple moving objects and other arbitrary changes to the observed scene.The resulting tracker is primarily geared towards scene-level video surveil-lance applications.1.1Previous work and current shortcom-ingsMost researchers have abandoned non-adaptive methods of backgrounding because of the need for manual initialization.Without re-initialization,errors in the background accumulate over time,making this method useful only in highly-supervised,short-term tracking applications without significant changes in the scene.A standard method of adaptive backgrounding is averaging the images over time,creating a background approximation which is similar to the current static scene except where motion occurs.While this is ef-fective in situations where objects move continuously and the background is visible a significant portion of the time,it is not robust to scenes with many mov-ing objects particularly if they move slowly.It also cannot handle bimodal backgrounds,recovers slowly when the background is uncovered,and has a single, predetermined threshold for the entire scene.Changes in scene lighting can cause problems for many backgrounding methods.Ridder et al.[5]mod-eled each pixel with a Kalman Filter which made their system more robust to lighting changes in the scene. While this method does have a pixel-wise automatic threshold,it still recovers slowly and does not han-dle bimodal backgrounds well.Koller et al.[4]have successfully integrated this method in an automatic traffic monitoring application.Pfinder[7]uses a multi-class statistical model forthe tracked objects,but the background model is a single Gaussian per pixel.After an initialization pe-riod where the room is empty,the system reports good results.There have been no reports on the success of this tracker in outdoor scenes.Friedman and Russell[2]have recently implemented a pixel-wise EM framework for detection of vehicles that bears the most similarity to our work.Their method attempts to explicitly classify the pixel values into three separate,predetermined distributions corre-sponding to the road color,the shadow color,and col-ors corresponding to vehicles.Their attempt to medi-ate the effect of shadows appears to be somewhat suc-cessful,but it is not clear what behavior their system would exhibit for pixels which did not contain these three distributions.For example,pixels may present a single background color or multiple background col-ors resulting from repetitive motions,shadows,or re-flectances.1.2Our approachRather than explicitly modeling the values of all the pixels as one particular type of distribution,we simply model the values of a particular pixel as a mix-ture of Gaussians.Based on the persistence and the variance of each of the Gaussians of the mixture,we determine which Gaussians may correspond to back-ground colors.Pixel values that do notfit the back-ground distributions are considered foreground until there is a Gaussian that includes them with sufficient, consistent evidence supporting it.Our system adapts to deal robustly with lighting changes,repetitive motions of scene elements,track-ing through cluttered regions,slow-moving objects, and introducing or removing objects from the scene. Slowly moving objects take longer to be incorporated into the background,because their color has a larger variance than the background.Also,repetitive vari-ations are learned,and a model for the background distribution is generally maintained even if it is tem-porarily replaced by another distribution which leads to faster recovery when objects are removed.Our backgrounding method contains two significant parameters–α,the learning constant and T,the pro-portion of the data that should be accounted for by the background.Without needing to alter parameters,our system has been used in an indoors,human-computer interface application and,for the past16months,has been continuously monitoring outdoor scenes.2The methodIf each pixel resulted from a particular surface un-der particular lighting,a single Gaussian would be suf-ficient to model the pixel value while accountingfor(a)(b)(c)(d)Figure1:The execution of the program.(a)the cur-rent image,(b)an image composed of the means of the most probable Gaussians in the background model, (c)the foreground pixels,(d)the current image with tracking information superimposed.Note:while the shadows are foreground in this case,if the surface was covered byshadows a significant amount o f the time, a Gaussian representing those pixel values maybe sig-nificant enough to be considered background. acquisition noise.If only lighting changed over time,a single,adaptive Gaussian per pixel would be sufficient. In practice,multiple surfaces often appear in the view frustum of a particular pixel and the lighting condi-tions change.Thus,multiple,adaptive Gaussians are necessary.We use a mixture of adaptive Gaussians to approximate this process.Each time the parameters of the Gaussians are up-dated,the Gaussians are evaluated using a simple heuristic to hypothesize which are most likely to be part of the“background process.”Pixel values that do not match one of the pixel’s“background”Gaussians are grouped using connected components.Finally, the connected components are tracked from frame to frame using a multiple hypothesis tracker.The pro-cess is illustrated in Figure1.2.1Online mixture modelWe consider the values of a particular pixel over time as a“pixel process”.The“pixel process”is a time series of pixel values,e.g.scalars for grayvalues or vectors for color images.At any time,t,what is known about a particular pixel,{x0,y0},is its history {X1,...,X t}={I(x0,y0,i):1≤i≤t}(1) where I is the image sequence.Some“pixel processes”are shown by the(R,G)scatter plots in Figure2(a)-(c)(b)(c)Figure 2:This figure contains images and scatter plotsof the red and green values of a single pixel from the image over time.It illustrates some of the difficulties involved in real environments.(a)shows two scatter plots from the same pixel taken 2minutes apart.This would require two thresholds.(b)shows a bi-model dis-tribution of a pixel values resulting from specularities on the surface of water.(c)shows another bi-modality resulting from monitor flicker.which illustrate the need for adaptive systems with au-tomatic thresholds.Figure 2(b)and (c)also highlight a need for a multi-modal representation.The value of each pixel represents a measurement of the radiance in the direction of the sensor of the first object intersected by the pixel’s optical ray.With a static background and static lighting,that value would be relatively constant.If we assume that independent,Gaussian noise is incurred in the sampling process,its density could be described by a single Gaussian dis-tribution centered at the mean pixel value.Unfortu-nately,the most interesting video sequences involve lighting changes,scene changes,and moving objects.If lighting changes occurred in a static scene,it would be necessary for the Gaussian to track those changes.If a static object was added to the scene and was not incorporated into the background until it had been there longer than the previous object,the corresponding pixels could be considered foreground for arbitrarily long periods.This would lead to accu-mulated errors in the foreground estimation,resulting in poor tracking behavior.These factors suggest that more recent observations may be more important in determining the Gaussian parameter estimates.An additional aspect of variation occurs if moving objects are present in the scene.Even a relatively con-sistently colored moving object is generally expected to produce more variance than a “static”object.Also,in general,there should be more data supporting the background distributions because they are repeated,whereas pixel values for different objects are often not the same color.These are the guiding factors in our choice of model and update procedure.The recent history of each pixel,{X 1,...,X t },is modeled by a mixture of K Gaus-sian distributions.The probability of observing the current pixel value isP (X t )=K i =1ωi,t ∗η(X t ,µi,t ,Σi,t )(2)where K is the number of distributions,ωi,t is an es-timate of the weight (what portion of the data is ac-counted for by this Gaussian)of the i th Gaussian in the mixture at time t,µi,t is the mean value of the i th Gaussian in the mixture at time t,Σi,t is the co-variance matrix of the i th Gaussian in the mixture at time t,and where ηis a Gaussian probability density function η(X t ,µ,Σ)=1(2π)n 2|Σ|12e −12(X t −µt )TΣ−1(X t −µt )(3)K is determined by the available memory and compu-tational power.Currently,from 3to 5are used.Also,for computational reasons,the covariance matrix is assumed to be of the form:Σk,t =σ2k I(4)This assumes that the red,green,and blue pixel valuesare independent and have the same variances.While this is certainly not the case,the assumption allows us to avoid a costly matrix inversion at the expense of some accuracy.Thus,the distribution of recently observed values of each pixel in the scene is characterized by a mixture of Gaussians.A new pixel value will,in general,be represented by one of the major components of the mixture model and used to update the model.If the pixel process could be considered a sta-tionary process,a standard method for maximizing the likelihood of the observed data is expectation maximization [1].Unfortunately,each pixel process varies over time as the state of the world changes,so we use an approximate method which essentially treats each new observation as a sample set of size 1and uses standard learning rules to integrate the new data.Because there is a mixture model for every pixel in the image,implementing an exact EM algorithm on a window of recent data would be costly.Instead,we implement an on-line K-means approximation.Every new pixel value,X t,is checked against the existing K Gaussian distributions,until a match is found.A match is defined as a pixel value within2.5standard deviations of a distribution1.This threshold can be perturbed with little effect on performance.This is effectively a per pixel/per distribution threshold.This is extremely useful when different regions have differ-ent lighting(see Figure2(a)),because objects which appear in shaded regions do not generally exhibit as much noise as objects in lighted regions.A uniform threshold often results in objects disappearing when they enter shaded regions.If none of the K distributions match the current pixel value,the least probable distribution is replaced with a distribution with the current value as its mean value,an initially high variance,and low prior weight.The prior weights of the K distributions at time t,ωk,t,are adjusted as followsωk,t=(1−α)ωk,t−1+α(M k,t)(5) whereαis the learning rate2and M k,t is1for the model which matched and0for the remaining mod-els.After this approximation,the weights are re-normalized.1/αdefines the time constant which de-termines the speed at which the distribution’s param-eters change.ωk,t is effectively a causal low-passfil-tered average of the(thresholded)posterior probabil-ity that pixel values have matched model k given ob-servations from time1through t.This is equivalent to the expectation of this value with an exponential window on the past values.Theµandσparameters for unmatched distribu-tions remain the same.The parameters of the dis-tribution which matches the new observation are up-dated as followsµt=(1−ρ)µt−1+ρX t(6)σ2t=(1−ρ)σ2t−1+ρ(X t−µt)T(X t−µt)(7) whereρ=αη(X t|µk,σk)(8) 1Depending on the curtosis of the noise,some percentage of the data points“generated”by a Gaussian will not“match”. The resulting random noise is easily ignored by neglecting con-nected components containing only1or2pixels.2While this rule is easily interpreted an an interpolation between two points,it is often shown in the equivalent form:ωk,t=ωk,t−1+α(M k,t−ωk,t−1)which is effectively the same type of causal low-pass filter as mentioned above,except that only the data which matches the model is included in the estimation.One of the significant advantages of this method is that when something is allowed to become part of the background,it doesn’t destroy the existing model of the background.The original background color re-mains in the mixture until it becomes the K th most probable and a new color is observed.Therefore,if an object is stationary just long enough to become part of the background and then it moves,the distribution describing the previous background still exists with the sameµandσ2,but a lowerωand will be quickly re-incorporated into the background.2.2Background Model EstimationAs the parameters of the mixture model of each pixel change,we would like to determine which of the Gaussians of the mixture are most likely produced by background processes.Heuristically,we are interested in the Gaussian distributions which have the most sup-porting evidence and the least variance.To understand this choice,consider the accumu-lation of supporting evidence and the relatively low variance for the“background”distributions when a static,persistent object is visible.In contrast,when a new object occludes the background object,it will not,in general,match one of the existing distributions which will result in either the creation of a new dis-tribution or the increase in the variance of an existing distribution.Also,the variance of the moving object is expected to remain larger than a background pixel until the moving object stops.To model this,we need a method for deciding what portion of the mixture model best represents background processes.First,the Gaussians are ordered by the value of ω/σ.This value increases both as a distribution gains more evidence and as the variance decreases.Af-ter re-estimating the parameters of the mixture,it is sufficient to sort from the matched distribution to-wards the most probable background distribution,be-cause only the matched models relative value will have changed.This ordering of the model is effectively an ordered,open-ended list,where the most likely back-ground distributions remain on top and the less prob-able transient background distributions gravitate to-wards the bottom and are eventually replaced by new distributions.Then thefirst B distributions are chosen as the background model,whereB=argmin bbk=1ωk>T(9)where T is a measure of the minimum portion of the data that should be accounted for by the background. This takes the“best”distributions until a certain por-tion,T,of the recent data has been accounted for.If a small value for T is chosen,the background model is usually unimodal.If this is the case,using only the most probable distribution will save processing.If T is higher,a multi-modal distribution caused by a repetitive background motion(e.g.leaves on a tree,aflag in the wind,a constructionflasher,etc.) could result in more than one color being included in the background model.This results in a transparency effect which allows the background to accept two or more separate colors.2.3Connected componentsThe method described above allows us to identify foreground pixels in each new frame while updating the description of each pixel’s process.These labeled foreground pixels can then be segmented into regions by a two-pass,connected components algorithm[3].Because this procedure is effective in determining the whole moving object,moving regions can be char-acterized not only by their position,but size,mo-ments,and other shape information.Not only can these characteristics be useful for later processing and classification,but they can aid in the tracking process.2.4Multiple Hypothesis TrackingWhile this section is not essential in the under-standing of the background subtraction method,it will allow one to better understand and evaluate the results in the following sections.Establishing correspondence of connected compo-nents between frames is accomplished using a lin-early predictive multiple hypotheses tracking algo-rithm which incorporates both position and size.We have implemented an online method for seeding and maintaining sets of Kalmanfilters.At each frame,we have an available pool of Kalman models and a new available pool of connected com-ponents that they could explain.First,the models are probabilistically matched to the connected regions that they could explain.Second,the connected re-gions which could not be sufficiently explained are checked tofind new Kalman models.Finally,mod-els whosefitness(as determined by the inverse of the variance of its prediction error)falls below a threshold are removed.Matching the models to the connected compo-nents involves checking each existing model against the available pool of connected components which are larger than a pixel or two.All matches are used to up-date the corresponding model.If the updated model has sufficientfitness,it will be used in the following frame.If no match is found a“null”match can be hypothesized which propogates the model as expected and decreases itsfitness by a constant factor.The unmatched models from the current frame and the previous two frames are then used to hypothe-size new ing pairs of unmatched connected components from the previous two frames,a model is hypothesized.If the current frame contains a match with sufficientfitness,the updated model is added to the existing models.To avoid possible combina-torial explosions in noisy situations,it may be desir-able to limit the maximum number of existing models by removing the least probable models when excessive models exist.In noisy situations(d cameras in low-light conditions),it is often useful to remove the short tracks that may result from random correspon-dances.Further details of this method can be found at /projects/vsam/.3ResultsOn an SGI O2with a R10000processor,this method can process11to13frames a second(frame size160x120pixels).The variation in the frame rate is due to variation in the amount of foreground present. Our tracking system has been effectively storing track-ing information forfive scenes for over16months[6]. Figure3shows accumulated tracks in one scene over the period of a day.While quick changes in cloud cover(relative toα, the learning rate)can sometimes necessitate a new set of background distributions,it will stabilize within10-20seconds and tracking will continue unhindered.Because of the stability and completeness of the representation it is possible to do some simple classi-fication.Figure4shows the classification of objects which appeared in a scene over a10minute period using a simple binary threshold on the time-averaged aspect ratio of the object.Tracks lasting less than a second were removed.Every object which entered this scene–in total,33 cars and34people–was tracked.It successfully clas-sified every car except in one case,where it classified two cars as the same object because one car entered the scene simultaneously with another car leaving at the same point.It found only one person in two cases where two people where walking in physical contact. It also double counted2objects because their tracks were not matched properly.4ApplicabilityWhen deciding on a tracker to implement,the most important information to a researcher is where the(a)(b)Figure3:Thisfigure shows consecutive hours of track-ing from6am to9am and3pm to7pm.(a)shows the image at the time the template was stored and(b) show the accumulated tracks of the objects over that time.Color encodes direction and intensityencodes size.The consistencyo f the colors within particular regions reflects the consistencyo the speed,direction, and size parameters which have beenacquired.(a)(b)Figure4:Thisfigure shows which objects in the scene were classified as people or cars using simple heuristics on the aspect ratio of the observed object.Its accuracy reflects the consistencyo the connected regions which are being tracked.tracker is applicable.This section will endeavor to pass on some of the knowledge we have gained through our experiences with this tracker.The tracking system has the most difficulty with scenes containing high occurrences of objects that vi-sually overlap.The multiple hypothesis tracker is not extremely sophisticated about reliably dissambiguat-ing objects which cross.This problem can be com-pounded by long shadows,but for our applications it was much more desirable to track an object and its shadow and avoid cropping or missing dark objects than it was to attempt to remove shadows.In our ex-perience,on bright days when the shadows are the most significant,both shadowed regions and shady sides of dark objects are black(not dark green,not dark red,etc.).The good news is that the tracker was relatively robust to all but relatively fast lighting changes(e.g.flood lights turning on and partly cloudy,windy days). It successfully tracked outdoor scenes in rain,snow, sleet,hail,overcast,and sunny days.It has also been used to track birds at a feeder,mice at night us-ing Sony NightShot,fish in a tank,people entering a lab,and objects in outdoor scenes.In these en-vironments,it reduces the impact of repetative mo-tions from swaying branches,rippling water,spec-ularities,slow moving objects,and camera and ac-quisition noise.The system has proven robust to day/night cycles and long-term scene changes.More recent results and project updates are available at /projects/vsam/.5F u t u re workAs computers improve and parallel architectures are investigated,this algorithm can be run faster,onlarger images,and using a larger number of Gaussians in the mixture model.All of these factors will in-crease performance.A full covariance matrix would further improve performance.Adding prediction to each Gaussian(e.g.the Kalmanfilter approach),may also lead to more robust tracking of lighting changes.Beyond these obvious improvements,we are inves-tigating modeling some of the inter-dependencies of the pixel processes.Relative values of neighboring pixels and correlations with neighboring pixel’s dis-tributions may be useful in this regard.This would allow the system to model changes in occluded pixels by observations of some of its neighbors.Our method has been used on grayscale,RGB, HSV,and local linearfilter responses.But this method should be capable of modeling any streamed input source in which our assumptions and heuristics are generally valid.We are investigating use of this method with frame-rate stereo,IR cameras,and in-cluding depth as a fourth channel(R,G,B,D).Depth is an example where multi-modal distributions are use-ful,because while disparity estimates are noisy due to false correspondences,those noisy values are often relatively predictable when they result from false cor-respondences in the background.In the past,we were often forced to deal with rela-tively small amounts of data,but with this system we can collect images of moving objects and tracking data robustly on real-time streaming video for weeks at a time.This ability is allowing us to investigate future directions that were not available to us in the past. We are working on activity classification and object classification using literally millions of examples[6]. 6ConclusionsThis paper has shown a novel,probabilistic method for background subtraction.It involves modeling each pixel as a separate mixture model.We implemented a real-time approximate method which is stable and robust.The method requires only two parameters,αand T.These two parameters are robust to different cameras and different scenes.This method deals with slow lighting changes by slowly adapting the values of the Gaussians.It also deals with multi-modal distributions caused by shad-ows,specularities,swaying branches,computer moni-tors,and other troublesome features of the real world which are not often mentioned in computer vision.It recovers quickly when background reappears and has a automatic pixel-wise threshold.All these factors have made this tracker an essential part of our activity and object classification research.This system has been successfully used to track peo-ple in indoor environments,people and cars in outdoor environments,fish in a tank,ants on afloor,and re-mote control vehicles in a lab setting.All these situa-tions involved different cameras,different lighting,and different objects being tracked.This system achieves our goals of real-time performance over extended pe-riods of time without human intervention.

‡,Universit´e Paris-Sud,91405,Orsay,FranceWe analyse deeply-virtual Compton scattering on a proton target,γ∗P →P ′γin the backward region and in the scaling regime.We define the transition distribution ampli-tudes which describe the proton to photon transition.Model-independent predictions are given to test this description,for current or planned experiments at JLab or by Hermes.1.INTRODUCTIONDeeply virtual Compton scattering (DVCS)at small momentum transfer t has been the subject of a continuous progress in recent years,both on the theoretical side with the understanding of factorisation properties which allow a consistent calculation of the amplitude in the framework of QCD,and on the experimental side with the success of experiments at HERA and JLab.The generalised parton distributions (GPDs)which describe the soft part of the scattering amplitude indeed contain much information on the hadronic structure,which would remain hidden without this new opportunity [1].In Ref.[2],it has been advocated that the same virtual Compton scattering reaction eP (p 1)→e ′P ′(p 2)γ(p γ)(1)as well as electroproduction of meson (π,ρ,...)eP (p 1)→e ′P ′(p 2)M (p M )(2)in the backward kinematics (namely small u =(p γ−p 1)2or u =(p M −p 1)2)could be analysed in a slightly modified framework,the amplitude being factorised (see Fig.1(a)and (b))at leading twist as M (Q 2,ξ,∆2)∝dx i dy j Φ(y j ,Q 2)M h (x i ,y j ,ξ)T (x i ,ξ,∆2),(3)nsberg et al. whereΦ(y j,Q2)is the proton distribution amplitude,M h is a perturbatively calculable hard scattering amplitude and T(x i,ξ,∆2)are transition distribution amplitudes(TDAs)defined as the matrix elements of light-cone operators between a proton and a photonstate or between a proton and a meson state.The variable x i describes the fraction of light-cone momentum carried by the quark ioffthe initial proton,y j is the corresponding one for the quark j entering thefinal state proton,∆=pγ−p1and the skewness variableξdescribes the loss of plus-momentum of the incident proton(see section2for more details on kinematics).In the large angle regime(around90degrees),the large value of−t=−(p1−p2)2 sets the perturbative scale.In the small angle regime as well as for the backward regime, it is the large virtuality Q2of the initial photon which allows a perturbative expansion of a subprocess scattering amplitude.Of course in the backward regime,small−u=−(pγ−p1)2means large−t,and even−t larger than at90degrees,but this does not introduce a new scale in the problem,exactly as for the forward DVCS case for which,−t being small,−u is very large.(a)γ⋆P→P′γ(b)γ⋆P→P M)(c)γ⋆γ→AπFigure1.(a)Factorised amplitude for deeply-virtual Compton scattering on proton in the backward region;(b)Factorised amplitude for meson electroproduction on proton in the backward region.(c)Factorised amplitude for meson-pair(Aπ)production inγ⋆γcollisions.In Ref.[3],we have defined the leading-twist proton to pion P→πtransition distri-bution amplitudes from the Fourier transform4of the matrix elementπ|ǫijk q iα(z1n)[z1;z0]q jβ(z2n)[z2;z0]q kγ(z3n)[z3;z0]|P ,(4) The brackets[z i;z0]in Eq.(4)account for the insertion of a path-ordered gluonic exponential along the straight line connecting an arbitrary initial point z0n and afinalProton to Photon TDAs3 one z i n:[z i;z0]≡P exp ig 10dt(z i−z0)nµAµ(n[tz i+(1−t)z0]) .(5) which provide the QCD-gauge invariance for non-local operator and equal unity in a light-like(axial)gauge.In a similar way,we shall define in section3the proton to photon TDAs from the Fourier transform of the matrix elementγ|ǫijk q iα(z1n)[z1;z0]q jβ(z2n)[z2;z0]q kγ(z3n)[z3;z0]|P .(6) In the simpler mesonic case,a perturbative limit has been obtained[4]for theρtoγ⋆transition.Forπ→γone,where there are only four leading-twist TDAs[2]entering the parametrisation of the matrix element γ|¯qα(z1n)[z1;z0]qβ(z0n)|π ,we have recently shown[5]that experimental analysis of processes such asγ⋆γ→ρπandγ⋆γ→ππ, see Fig.1(c),involving these TDAs could be carried out,e.g.the background from the Bremsstrahlung is small if not absent and rates are sizable at present e+e−facilities. 2.KinematicsThe momenta of the processesγ∗P→P′γare defined as shown in Fig.1(a).The z-axis is chosen along the initial nucleon momentum and the x−z plane is identified with the collision plane.Then,we define the light-cone vectors p and n(p2=n2=0)such that 2p.n=1,as well as P=12P.n .We can then express the momenta of the particles through their Sudakov decomposi-tion:5p1=(1+ξ)p+M21−ξn+∆T,p2=(2ξ−1)p+n[Q2+∆2T1+ξ]−∆T,q=−p+Q2n.(7)Using the natural gauge choiceε.n=0,the photon polarisation vectorε(pγ)can be chosen to be either a normalised vector along the y-axis,εT1=εy orεT2=∆T−∆2T+21−ξn,(8)which givesεT2=εx at∆T=0.In an arbitrary QED gauge,whereε′=εT+λpγ,we have at∆T=0ε′1=λ(1−ξ)p+εy,ε′2=λ(1−ξ)p+εx.(9) Therefore one has,in any gauge and at∆T=0,ε.p=0,ε.n=λ1−ξ5∆2T<0.nsberg et al.3.The Proton to Photon TDAsThe spinorial and Lorentz decomposition of the matrix element will follow the same line as the one for P→πTDA[3]and for baryon DA[6].The fractions of plus momenta are labelled x1,x2and x3,and their supports are within[−1+ξ,1+ξ].Momentum conservation implies(we restrict to the caseξ>0):ix i=2ξ.(11)The configurations with positive momentum fractions,x i≥0,describe the creation of quarks,whereas those with negative momentum fractions,x i≤0,the absorption of antiquarks.Counting the degrees of freedomfixes the number of independent P→γTDAs to 16,since each quark,photon and proton have two helicity states(leading to25helicity amplitudes)and parity relates amplitudes with opposite helicities for all particles.We can equally say that the photon has spin1,which would normally give24TDAs as in the P→V where V is a massive vector particle,but gauge invariance provides us with8 relations between TDAs,which reduces again the number to16.The case∆T=0is simpler since the matrix elements can be written only in terms of4 TDAs.Indeed,since at∆T=0,there is no angular momentum exchanged,the helicity is conserved.We have three possible processes as P(↑)→uud(↑↓↓)+γ(↑)where the quark with helicity-1is either the u’s or the d,but also P(↑)→uud(↑↑↑)+γ(↓).Therefore taking this limit on the complete set of the16TDAs should reduce it to4.In order to build leading-twist structures(maximising the power of P+),we havefirst to separate the spinor N(p1)in its small(N−∼ P+)component: N=(n/p/+p/n/)N=N−+N+.(12)Using the Dirac equation p/1N(p1)=MN(p1)and Eq.(7),it is easy to see thatp/N=M2MN−+O(1/P+).(13)We then proceed in the following way:1.the structures are to be linear in the photon polarisation vector(through scalarproducts with the momenta(n,p and∆T),γµorσµν).2.we force the presence of p(≃P)to help the twist counting in powers of P+(thereforethe different leading-twist structures will scale like(P+)3/2);3.p does not appear in p/N since this would remove one power of P+;4.p does not appear in any scalar products p.n,p.∆T and p.εwhich would also destroyone power of P+;5.p then only appears inside the parenthesis(·)αβ;Proton to Photon TDAs56.we impose the independence of the factors in(·)αβfrom two different structures;thiscan be checked by taking the trace of the product of two structures,and is therefore insured by choosing only independent Fierz(or Dirac)structuresγ5,γµ,γ5γµ,σµν.7.Finally,to what concerns the spinor,it has only two large components.Hence,aftera

Model independent predictions follow from the way we propose to factorise the am-plitude:only helicity amplitudes with opposite signs for both protons and photons willnsberg et al. be nonzero at∆T=0.Furthermore,the amplitude scales as(αS(Q2))2。
