Human perception is a complex nonlinear dynamics. On the one hand it is periodic dynamics and on the other hand it is chaotic. Thus, we wish to propose a hybrid - the spatial chaotic dynamics for the associative recall to retrieve patterns, similar to Walter Freeman's discovery, and the fixed point dynamics for memory storage, similar to Hopfield and Grossberg's discoveries. In this model, each neuron in the network could be a chaotic map, whose phase space is divided into two states: one is periodic dynamic state with period-V, which is used to represent a V-value retrieved pattern;another is chaotic dynamic state. Firstly, patterns are stored in the memory by fixed point learning algorithm. In the retrieving process, all neurons are initially set in the chaotic region. Due to the ergodicity property of chaos, each neuron will approximate the periodic points covered by the chaotic attractor at same instants. When this occurs, the control is activated to drive the dynamic of each neuron to their corresponding stable periodic point. computer simulations confirm the theoretical prediction.

A method for model-based recognition of articulated objects in cluttered scenes is presented. The objects consist of rigid parts connected by rotary or prismatic joints. The method is based on an extension of the generalized Hough transform approach. It is applicable to various viewing transformations. Unlike previous methods there is no significant degradation in performance for recognition of articulated objects compared with the recognition of rigid objects containing similar amounts of information. The method was implemented and successfully tested for recognition of partially overlapping 2-D objects with rotary joints which have undergone rotation, translation, and scaling.< >

Following the success of applying deformable models to feature extraction, a natural next step is to apply such models to pattern classification. Recently, we have cast a deformable model under a Bayesian framework for classification, giving promising results. However, deformable model methods are computationally expensive due to the required iterative optimization process. The problem is even more severe when there are a large number of models (e.g., for character recognition), because each of them has to deform and match with the input data before a final classification can be derived. In this paper, we propose to combine the deformable models into a mixture, in which the individual models compete with each other to survive the matching process during classification. Models that do not compete well are eliminated early, thus allowing substantial savings in computation. This process of competition-elimination has been applied to handwritten digit recognition in which significant speedup can be achieved without sacrificing recognition accuracy.

This paper adds a number of novel concepts into global s/t cut methods improving their efficiency and making them relevant for a wider class of applications in vision where algorithms should ideally run in real-time. Our new Active Cuts (AC) method can effectively use a good approximate solution (initial cut) that is often available in dynamic, hierarchical, and multi-label optimization problems in vision. In many problems AC works faster than the state-of-the-art max-flow methods [2] even if initial cut is far from the optimal one. Moreover, empirical speed improves several folds when initial cut is spatially close to the optima. Before converging to a global minima, Active Cuts outputs a multitude of intermediate solutions (intermediate cuts) that, for example, can be used be accelerate iterative learning-based methods or to improve visual perception of graph cuts realtime performance when large volumetric data is segmented. Finally, it can also be combined with many previous methods for accelerating graph cuts.

A homogeneous approach for acquisition, storage, and recognition of nonparametric shapes from images, using a novel shape representation based on shape autocorrelation operators is presented. A theoretical and experimental analysis of the computational complexity, recognition performance with increasing database size, and fault tolerance of the approach is presented. The system has been tested extensively with more than 300 arbitrary shapes in the database. Using a set of complex shapes, the recognition behavior with respect to occlusion, geometric transformation, and cluttered environments is studied. Unsupervised shape and subpart acquisition is demonstrated.< >

A complete scheme for totally unconstrained handwritten word recognition based on a single contextual hidden Markov model (HMM) is proposed. The scheme includes a morphology- and heuristics-based segmentation algorithm and a modified Viterbi algorithm that searches the (l+1)st globally best path based on the previous l best paths. The results of detailed experiments for which the overall recognition rate is up to 89.4% are reported.< >

We propose an adaptive and effective multimodal peripheral-fovea sensor design for real-time targets tracking. This design is inspired by the biological vision systems for achieving real-time target detection and recognition with a hyperspectral/range fovea and panoramic peripheral view. A realistic scene simulation approach is used to evaluate our sensor design and the related data exploitation algorithms before a real sensor is made. The goal is to reduce development time and system cost while achieving optimal results through an iterative process that incorporates simulation, sensing, processing and evaluation. Important issues such as multimodal sensory component integration, region of interest extraction, target tracking, hyperspectral image analysis and target signature identification are discussed.

This paper presents an online learning algorithm to construct from video sequences an image-based representation that is useful for recognition and tracking. For a class of objects (e.g., human faces), a generic representation of the appearances of the class is learned off-line. From video of an instance of this class (e.g., a particular person), an appearance model is incrementally learned on-line using the prior generic model and successive frames from the video. More specifically, both the generic and individual appearances are represented as an appearance manifold that is approximated by a collection of sub-manifolds (named pose manifolds) and the connectivity between them. In turn, each sub-manifold is approximated by a low-dimensional linear sub-space while the connectivity is modeled by transition probabilities between pairs of sub-manifolds. We demonstrate that our online learning algorithm constructs an effective representation for face tracking, and its use in video-based face recognition compares favorably to the representation constructed with a batch technique.

There has been significant research into the development of visual feature detectors and descriptors that are robust to a number of image deformations. Some of these methods have emphasized the need to improve on computational speed and compact representations so that they can enable a range of real-time applications with reduced computational requirements. In this paper we present modified detectors and descriptors based on the recently introduced CenSurE [l], and show experimental results that aim to highlight the computational savings that can be made with limited reduction in performance. The developed methods are based on exploiting the concept of sparse sampling which may be of interest to a range of other existing approaches.
