this paper considers the use of Order Statistics (OS) in the theory of patternrecognition (PR). the pioneering work on using OS for classification was presented in [1] for the Uniform distribution, where it was shown that optimal PR can be achieved in a counter-intuitive manner, diametrically opposed to the Bayesian paradigm, i.e., by comparing the testing sample to a few samples distant from the mean - which is distinct from the optimal Bayesian paradigm. In [2], we showed that the results could be extended for a few symmetric distributions within the exponential family. In this paper, we attempt to extend these results significantly by considering asymmetric distributions within the exponential family, for some of which even the closed form expressions of the cumulative distribution functions are not available. these distributions include the Rayleigh, Gamma and certain Beta distributions. As in [1] and [2], the new scheme, referred to as Classification by Moments of Order Statistics (CMOS), attains an accuracy very close to the optimal Bayes' bound, as has been shown boththeoretically and by rigorous experimental testing.

Iris images captured at a distance usually have low resolution (LR) iris texture regions, which may lose some detailed identity information. the existed approaches try to improve the similarity of these LR iris images to high resolution (HR) gallery samples through pixel-level or feature-level super-resolution. We argue that binary codes of iris feature templates are more directly relevant to iris recognition performance. this paper proposes a code-level scheme for heterogeneous matching of LR and HR iris images. the statistical relationship between a number of binary codes of LR iris images and a binary code corresponding to the latent HR iris image is established based on an adapted Markov network. Moreover, the cooccurence relationship between neighboring bits of HR iris code is also modeled through this Markov network. So that we can obtain an enhanced iris feature code from the probe set of LR iris image sequences. In addition, a weight mask can also be derived from the Markov model, which can be used to further improve iris recognition accuracy. Experimental results on Quality-Face/Iris Research Ensemble (Q-FIRE) database demonstrate that code-level information fusion performs significantly better than existed pixel-level, feature-level and score-level approaches for recognition of low resolution iris image sequences.

this paper presents a robust method to search for the correct SIFT keypoint matches with adaptive distance ratio threshold. Firstly, the reference image is analyzed by extracting some characteristics of its SIFT keypoints, such as their distance to the object boundary and the number of their neighborhood keypoints. the matching credit of each keypoint is evaluated based on its characteristics. Secondly, an adaptive distance ratio threshold for the keypoint is determined based on its matching credit to identify the correctness of its best match in the source image. the adaptive threshold loosens the matching conditions for keypoints of high matching credits and tightens the conditions for those of low matching credits. Our approach improves the scheme of SIFT keypoint matching by applying adaptive distance ratio threshold rather than global threshold that ignores different matching credits of various keypoints. the experiment results show that our algorithm outperforms the standard SIFT matching method in some complicated cases of object recognition, in which it discards more false matches as well as preserves more correct matches.

Data, especially in large item sets, hide a wealth of information on the processes that have created and modified them. Often, a data-field or a set of data-fields are not modified only through well-defined processes, but also through latent processes;without the knowledge of the second type of processes, testing cannot be considered exhaustive. As a matter of fact, changes in the data deriving from unknown processes can cause anomalies not detectable by testing, which focuses on known data variation rules. History of data variations can yield information about the nature of the changes. In my work I focus on the elicitation of an evolution profile of data: the values data may assume, the change frequencies, the temporal variation of a piece of data in relation to other data, or other constraints that are directly connected to the reference domain. the profile of evolution is then used to detect anomalies in the database state evolution. Detecting anomalies in the database state evolution could strengthen the quality of a system, since a data anomaly could be the signal of a defect in the applications populating the database.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for violence detection and localization in a public scene. Currently, violence detection is considerably under-researched compared withthe common action recognition. Although existing methods can detect the presence of violence in a video, they cannot precisely locate the regions in the scene where violence is happening. this paper will tackle the challenge and propose a novel method to locate the violence location in the scene, which is important for public surveillance. the Gaussian Mixed Model is extended into the optical flow domain in order to detect candidate violence regions. In each region, a new descriptor, Histogram of Optical Flow Orientation (HOFO), is proposed to measure the spatial-temporal features. A linear SVM is trained based on the descriptor. the performance of the method is demonstrated on the publicly available data sets, BEHAVE and CAVIAR.
