Novel Pixel Displacement Prediction Strategies for Fast Object Detection in Flood Video Analysis
摘要
Computer vision algorithms can analyze frames of flooded areas from a UAV video to detect and classify objects of interest. However, using computationally expensive image object detection models in each frame for video scene analysis will significantly impact the speed of execution. This work utilizes the similarity between adjacent frames to reduce computational complexity and improve the speed of the object detector. Two novel algorithms are proposed for estimating pixel displacement in subsequent frames: corner point matching algorithm and the template matching algorithm. They are commonly called pixel displacement algorithms (PDA). This approach allows for the efficient utilization of multiple state-of-the-art image object detection models, as it is independent of the detection model. Improvements in speed of more than 5
