this paper addresses the problem of automatically learning the title metadata from HTML documents. the objective, is to help indexing Web resources that are poorly annotated. Other works proposed similar objectives, but they considered only titles in text format . In this paper we propose a general learning schema that allows learning textual titles based on style information and image format titles based on image properties. We construct features from automatically annotated pages harvested from the Web;this paper details the corpus creation method as well as the information extraction techniques. Based oil these features. learning algorithms, such as Decision Trees and Random Forest algorithms are applied achieving good results despite the heterogeneity of our corpus, we also show that, combining both methods can induce better performance.

the paper presents a joint sensing strategy that combines tactile probing and range imaging for the mapping of the elastic properties that characterize 3D deformable objects. A feedforward neural network architecture is employed in an original manner to model the complex relationship between the surface deformation and the forces exemplified in non-rigid bodies. Experimental results are presented for objects made of materials with different elastic behaviors and for their different deformation stages.

We propose a coarse-to-fine approach for localizing eye and lip corners, which is accurate and robust, and can be executed in real-time. Given an image, we first detect the face and the rough initial positions of eyes and lip in the coarsest level. In the middle level, SUSAN corner detection is applied to obtain candidate corners, from which we select a best one as the facial feature corner. Finally, in the finest level, the corner is further refined by Normalized Cross-Correlation (NCC) template matching. We have tested our algorithm on the database containing over 5000 faces with various poses, expressions, occlusions and light conditions. the experimental results show that our method can successfully localize the facial feature corners with more than 20FPS, which is very appealing.

the technique utilized to retrieve spatial information from a sequence of images with varying focus plane is termed as shape from focus (SFF). Traditional SFF techniques perform inadequately due to their inability to deal with images that contain high contrast variations between different regions, shadows, defocused points, noise, and oriented edges. A novel technique to compute SFF and depth map is proposed using steerable filters. Steerable filters, designed in quadrature pairs for better control over phase and orientation, have successfully been applied in many image analysis and patternrecognition schemes. Steerable filters represent architecture to synthesize filters of arbitrary orientation using linear combination of basis filters. Such synthesis is used to determine analytically the filter Output as a function of orientation. SFF is computed using steerable filters on variety of image sequences. Quantitative and qualitative performance analyses validate enhanced performance of our proposed scheme.

pattern mining derives from the need of discovering hidden knowledge in very large amounts of data, regardless form in which it is presented. When it;comes to Natural Language, Processing (NLP), it arose along the humans necessity of being understood by computers. In this paper we present, an exploratory approach that aims at bringing together the best of both worlds. Our goal is to patterns in linguistically processed texts, through the usage of NLP state-of-the-art tools and traditional pattern mining algorithms. Articles from a Portuguese newspaper are the input of a series of tests described in this paper. First, they are processed by an NLP chain which performs a (feel) linguistic analysis of text: afterwards pattern mining algorithms Apriori and GenPrefixSpan, are used. Results showed the applicability of sequential pattern mining techniques in textual structured data and also provided Several evidence's about the structure of the language.

We proposed a color marker based computer vision system which can provide temporal-spatial and kinematic information of human gait. this system provides quantitative gait pattern information for clinicians to evaluate the rehabilitation progress of the patients who had undertaken total knee replacement (TKR) and/or total hip replacement (thR) Surgeries. the symmetry between left leg and right leg is a very useful feature for this evaluation purpose. To calculate this parameter, we introduced a new curve feature to describe the gait pattern. this Curve feature serves as people's walking signature. the symmetry is denoted by dynamic time warping (DTW) distance of this walking signature. through experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed system.

Nowadays, all countries have to face the growing populations of elders. For most elders, unpredictable falling accidents may occur at the corner of stairs or a long corridor due to body functional decay. If we delay to rescue a falling elder who is likely fainting, more serious consequent injury may happen. Traditional secure or video surveillance systems need someone to monitor a centralized screen continuously, or need an elder to wear sensors to detect accidental falling signals, which explicitly require higher costs of care staffs or cause inconvenience for an elder. In this work, we propose a human-shape-based falling detection algorithm and implement this algorithm in a multi-camera video surveillance system. the algorithm uses multiple cameras to fetch the images from different regions required to monitor. It then uses a filling-patternrecognition approach to determine fan accidental falling has occurred If yes, the system will send short messages to someone needs to alert. In addition, we propose a multi-video-stream processing algorithm to speedup the throughput for the video surveillance system having multiple cameras. We partition the workloads of each video-surveillance streaming into four tasks: image fetch, image processing, human-shape generation, and patternrecognition. Each task will be handled by a forked thread. When the system receives multiple video streams from cameras, there are four simultaneous threads executed for different tasks. the objective of this algorithm is to exploit large thread-level-parallelism among those video-stream operations, and apply pipelining technique to execute these threads. All above algorithms have been implemented in a real-world environment for functionality proof. We also measure the system performance after multi-streaming speedup. the results show that the throughput can be improved by about 2.12 times for a four-camera surveillance system.

An image feature named Local Triplet pattern (LTP) is proposed for image retrieval applications. the LTP feature of an image is it histogram which contains spatial information among neighboring pixels in the image. An LTP level is extracted front each 3 x 3 pixel block. the color levels of the eight surrounding pixels are compared withthe color level of the center pixel. the comparison returns one of the triplet codes: 0, 1, or 2 to represent the three conditions: the color level of a neighboring pixel is smaller than, equal to, or larger than the color level of the center pixel. the eight triplet codes from the eight surrounding pixels are then transformed to an LTP level. We also consider extracting the LTP from it quantized color space and at different pattern length according to the application needs. Experimental results show that our proposed LTP histogram consistently outperforms other histograms with spatial information oil boththe texture and generic image datasets.
