Local Ternary pattern (LTP) is usually applied for texture classification problems. In this work, we propose LTP for human gait characterization for the purpose of human identification. Our proposed method is based on the Gait Energy Image (GEI) whereby edge information over a complete gait cycle is extracted. However, GEI does not contain enough human body structure information for human recognition purpose. Therefore, LTP is used to extract texture information from all pixels in the human gait region which preserves more discriminative features of the subject. Gait cycle estimation is computed by using the aspect ratio of the subject's bounding box. After that, LTP features are averaged over a full gait cycle and a 2D joint histogram of the LTP is computed. At the end, K nearest-neighbor (k-NN) is used to obtain the final recognition results. The proposed method achieved higher accuracy compared to other methods when tested on the CMU MoBo human gait database. The proposed LTP method is easy to implement and also has the advantage of significantly lower computation time.

In this paper, we propose the motion dense sampling (MDS) for video classification, which detects very informative interest points from video frames. MDS has two advantages compared to other existing methods. The first advantage is that MDS detects only interest points which belong to foreground regions of all regions of a video frame. Also it can detect the constant number of points even when the size of foreground region in an image drastically changes. The Second one is that MDS enable to describe scale invariable features by computing sampling scale for each frame based on the size of foreground regions. Thus, our method detects much more informative interest points from videos than other methods. Experimental results show a significant improvement over existing methods on YouTube dataset. Our method achieves 86.8% accuracy for video classification by using only one descriptor.

An autonomous agent placed without any prior knowledge in an environment without goals or a reward function will need to develop a model of that environment using an unguided approach by discovering patters occurring in its observations. We expand on a prior algorithm which allows an agent to achieve that by learning clusters in probability distributions of one-dimensional sensory variables and propose a novel quadtree-based algorithm for two dimensions. We then evaluate it in a dynamic continuous domain involving a ball being thrown onto uneven terrain, simulated using a physics engine. Finally, we put forward criteria which can be used to evaluate a domain model without requiring goals and apply them to our work. We show that adding two-dimensional rules to the algorithm improves the model and that such models can be transferred to similar but previously-unseen environments.
A new method for action modelling is proposed, which combines the trajectory beam obtained by semi-dense point tracking and a local binary trend description inspired from the Local Binary patterns (LBP). The semi dens...

Based on LS-SVM pattern recognizer, this paper develops an intelligent method for solving the problem of change-point detection, and the proposed model is applied to detect change-point of process mean-shift in auto-correlated time series process. In this research, LS-SVM algorithm and moving window method are used to detect the location of the mean shift signal, the LS-SVM pattern recognizer is designed and the performance of the recognizer is evaluated in terms of Accuracy Rate. Results of simulation experiment show that the proposed intelligent model is an effective method to detect change-point in ARMA data series.

Although there have been many advances in electromyography (EMG) signal processing and patternrecognition (PR) for the control of multi-functional upper-limb prostheses, some the outstanding problems need to be solved before practical PR-based prostheses can be put into service. Some of these are the lack of training and deployment protocols and the provision of the tools required. Therefore, we present a preliminary procedure to personalize the prosthesis deployment. In the first step, we record the demographic information of each individual amputee person and their background. In the second step of the protocol, the EMG signals are acquired. PR algorithms and parameters will be chosen in the 3rd step of the protocol. In the 4th step, the best number of EMG sensors to achieve the maximal performance with a full set of gestures is identified. The final step involves finding the best set of movements that the amputee person can produce with an accuracy > 95% as well as identifying the movements with the worst performance, which would require further training. This proposed approach is validated with 2 transradial amputees.

As a significant complement for skin surface images, skin biopsy image may reveal causes and severity of many skin diseases, especially in the case of skin cancer inspection. With rapid increment of skin disease patients, computational methods have been introduced for automatic classification of skin images. However, due to the complex relationship among annotation terms and features of local regions, it becomes a great challenge for skin biopsy image feature recognition and annotation. In this paper, we attempt to model the potential knowledge and experience of doctors on skin biopsy image annotation by using a recent proposed machine learning model, named multi-instance multi-label (MIML) model. We show that the relationship among annotation terms and skin biopsy images is naturally consistent with the MIML framework. We further propose a sparse Bayesian MIML algorithm which can produce a probability indicating the confidence of annotating a term. The proposed algorithm framework is evaluated on a real dataset from a large local hospital containing 12,700 skin biopsy images. The results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and prominent.
