image analytics, biometrics access control, security, and surveillance applications utilize complex machinelearning and computer vision algorithms, such as face detection andrecognition. Speedup and accuracy are two important factors that need to be addressed in all such complex applications. Parallel computing breaks down the complex tasks into discrete fragments to be solved concurrently on multiple processors. The parallel computing procedure significantly reduces the executiontime with improved speedup. This paper presents a parallel framework for object detection and recognition for a secure vehicle parking. The proposed framework is divided in to three steps: (1) vehicle detection at the parking entry junction, (2)driver's face detection, and (3) identification of driver's face from the huge database of stored facial images. On successful identification of authorized person, vehicle is allowed to enter inthe parking-lot. The adaptive boosting algorithm is used for vehicle and face detection, while Eigenfaces based approach is employed for face recognition. Moreover, the scalability comparison of parallely executed driver face recognition algorithm indicates high speedup compared to serial execution. Furthermore, the results of the proposed framework reveal promising performance and encourage outcomes to be deployed in real-time at entrance/exits of the public/private vehicle parking areas.

Understanding images in terms of logical and hierarchical structures is crucial for many semantic tasks, including image retrieval, scene understanding and robotic vision. This paper combines robust feature extraction, qualitative spatial relations, relational instance-based learning and compositional hierarchies in one framework. For each layer in the hierarchy, qualitative spatial structures in images are detected, classified and then employed one layer up the hierarchy to obtain higher-level semantic structures. We apply a four-layer hierarchy to street view images and subsequently detect corners, windows, doors, and individual houses. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This paper proposes a method to establish joint ownership of digital images by embedding imperceptible digital pattern in the image. This digital pattern is generated from biometric features of more than one subject in a strategic matter so that the identification of individual subject can be done and the multiple ownership of the digital images can be established. This digital pattern was embedded and extracted from the image and the experiments were also carried out when the image was subjected to signal processing attacks. Coefficients of mid frequency band discrete cosine transform was used for embedding as these coefficients do not adversely affect the perceptual transparency and is also significantly robust to normal signal processing attacks. Experimental results indicate that the insertion of this digital pattern does not change the perceptual properties of the image and the pattern survives signal processing attacks which can be extracted for unique identification.

In this work, we propose an object recognitionstrategy in a domestic environment. Our contribution is to use low-level features extracted from images with high-level concepts generated from an ontology of domestic objects to get richer decision. It consists in developing a semantic classification by providing for a white cane user the class of the obstacle and the scene in which it is located. The classification is performed with a decision tree that provides a better recognition rate than SVM. The combination of color and texture features resolves the ambiguities of shape features for some objects that have similar shape.

As an important and fundamental methodology in the fields of patternrecognition and imageprocessing, learning middle level feature has attracted increasing interest during the recent years, where generative feature mapping has shown highly completive performance in diverse applications. In this paper, a middle level feature representation is proposed based on Deep Boltzmann machine (DBM) and sufficient statistics (SS) feature mapping for detection. In the approach, DBM is employed to model data distribution and the hidden information inferred by DBM together with other informative variables are then exploited by SS to form the middle level features. The features, learnt from data, can be fed to standard classifiers for classification. In order to evaluate the performance of our method, we apply our feature mapping method to two challenging tasks: (1) contour detection through distinguishing border and non-border pixels;(2) sales pipeline prediction, which predicts the winning propensity of the ongoing sales opportunity in the pipeline. In comparison with other leading methods in the literature on the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset and Sales Pipeline Database (SPDB), our proposed algorithm performs favorably againststate-of-the-art methods in terms of effectiveness and efficiency.

Intelligent mobile devices with multiple sensors and technologies have been spread widely and gradually. This paper presents a sheet music recognition system that can automatically recognize and perform the musical score with a simulated piano on iOS devices. The overall music recognition system consists of three functional parts. The first part is designed to pre-process the input image of a musical score. The major task of the second part is to segment each individual object on the musical score followed by note and pitch recognition. Finally, the recognized notes are transformed to the MIDI forms and the musical score is performed by a simulated piano. The proposed system has been implemented as an App which can be run of iOS devices.

Clothing, carrying conditions, and other intra-class variations, also referred as "covariates", affect the performance of gait recognition systems. This paper proposes a supervised feature extraction method which is able to select relevant features for human recognition to mitigates the impact of covariates and hence improve the recognition performance. The proposed method is evaluated using CASIA Gait Database (Dataset B) and the experimental results suggest that our method yields attractive results.

In this paper, we propose a low computing complexity architecture design of 2D-to-3D image converter. The presented approach establishes database of slope pattern to analyze the 2D image. According to slope and intersection, the scheme predicts vanishing points of 2D image. Then, depth map is reconstructed using vanishing points information. This approach focuses on fundamental structure analysis to reduce computing complexity and performs low computing complexity architecture of 2D-to-3D image converter.
