We enhance the Multi layer Perceptron to map a feature vector not only from the original d-dimensional feature space, but from an intermediate implicit Hilbert feature space in which kernels calculate inner products. The kernel substitutes the usual inner product between weight vectors and the input vector (or the feature vector of the hidden layer). The objective is to boost the generalization capability of this universal function approximator even more. Classification experiments with standard Machine Learning data sets are shown. We are able to improve the classification accuracy performance criterion for certain kernel types and their intrinsic parameters for the majority of the data sets.

Surface splatting is a fast rendering technique for point-based models that usually delivers good-quality renderings. However, the intrinsic characteristic of this technique is the treatment of points as if they were discs. That requires special processing near sharp edges and corners in order to prevent rendering artifacts from appearing. In this work, we present a clever way of clipping splats near sharp edges and corners by a classification of neighboring splats, which belong to distinct intersecting surfaces. Those neighboring splats that take part in the clipping process are called clip partners. Their concavity or convexity with respect to one another are determined, as well as their relation with the clipped splat. In our approach, there is no need of distance computations nor of other complex operations during the rendering process, since the classification can be performed offline during a pre-processing phase. The examples presented in this paper demonstrate the importance of correctly clipping splats for high quality rendering.

Colorization and illumination are key processes for creating animated cartoons. computer assisted methods have been incorporated in animation/illustration systems to reduce the artists' effort. This paper presents a new strategy for illumination and colorization of 2D drawings based on a region-tree. Starting from a hand-drawn cartoon, it extracts geometric and topological information and builds a tree structure, ensuring independence among parts of the drawing, such as curves and regions. Based on this structure and its attributes, a colorization method that propagates through consecutive frames of animation is proposed, together with an interpolation method that accurately computes a normal mapping for the illumination process. Different operators on curve and region attributes can be applied independently, obtaining different rendering effects.

The detection of QR codes, a type of 2D barcode, as described in the literature consists merely in the determination of the boundaries of the symbol region in images obtained with the specific intent of highlighting the symbol. However, many important applications such as those related with accessibility technologies or robotics, depends on first detecting the presence of a barcode in an environment. We employ Viola-Jones rapid object detection framework to address the problem of finding QR codes in arbitrarily acquired images. This framework provides an efficient way to focus the detection process in promising regions of the image and a very fast feature calculation approach for pattern classification. An extensive study of variations in the parameters of the framework for detecting finder patterns, present in three corners of every QR code, was carried out. Detection accuracy superior to 90%, with controlled number of false positives, is achieved. We also propose a post-processing algorithm that aggregates the results of the first step and decides if the detected finder patterns are part of QR code symbols. This two-step processing is done in real time.

Along with the development of the modern remote sensing technology, the acquired remote sensing image data gets more and more abundant, so the primary obstruction of the application of the remote sensing technology in the future is no longer the shortage of the image resource, but the capacity that how we can get more abundant, more useful and more credible information from the image resource. Multi-sensors remote sensing image fusion is an important apart of the information acquisition of the ground observation and also an important approach to resolve the problem of the mass remote sensing image data. The processing speed becomes a key point of an algorithm if can be in general use. In this paper we designed a high-pass filtering fusion algorithm of remote sensing image data in GPU (graphicsprocessing Unit) using the programmability of GPU, which is a parallel vector processor. The result shows that the algorithm runs on a GPU is much faster than the CPU-based algorithm in the case of large data. And with the volumes of fusion images data getting bigger the advantage of the velocity on GPU is more obvious then on CPU.

The first Flight Test Campaign (FTC) carried out for an experimental aircraft is the calibration of its Air Data System (ADS). In this case, the altitude and airspeed measurements of the aircraft are provided by both anemometric along with the Flight Tests Instrumentation (FTI) systems that are corrupted by installation errors. Therefore, a tool was developed using techniques such as imageprocessing in order to minimize these errors. A tool is described for detecting the position of the aircraft during a FTC through a video of the high-speed camera. The tool detects the aircraft and reference points, calculates altitude and airspeed of the aircraft and determines validity of test point in FTC. The preliminary tests of this tool showed satisfactory results compared to the current method. This paper will discuss such scenario, its preliminary development and the results through performed flights with EMBRAER Jet XAT-26 aircraft and HELIBRAS HB-350L-1 helicopter.

Multiple classifier combination methods can be considered some of the most robust and accurate learning approaches. The fields of multiple classifier systems and ensemble learning developed various procedures to train a set of learning machines and combine their outputs. Such methods have been successfully applied to a wide range of real problems, and are often, but not exclusively, used to improve the performance of unstable or weak classifiers. In this tutorial are presented the basic terminology of the field, a discussion on the effectiveness of combination algorithms, the diversity concept, methods for the creation of an ensemble of classifiers, approaches to combine the decisions of each classifier, the recent studies and also possible future directions.
