This paper presents a novel 3D partial shape retrieval algorithm based on time-series analysis. Given a piece of a 3D shape, the proposed method encodes the shape descriptor given by the Heat Kernel Signature (HKS) as a time-series, where the time is considered an ordered sequence of vertices provided by the Fiedler vector. Finally, a similarity metric is created using a well-known tool in time-series analysis called Cross Recurrence Plot (CRP). The good performance of our method is also attested in a large collection of shape models.

A new and efficient automatic hybrid method, called Hy-EH, based on Virtual Reconfigurable Architectures (VRAs) and implemented in Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) is proposed, for a hardware-embedded construction of image filters. The method also encompass an evolutionary software system, which represents the chromosome as a bi-dimensional grid of function elements (FEs), entirely parameterized using the Verilog-HDL (Verilog Hardware Description Language), which is reconfigured using the MATLAB toolbox GPLAB, before its download into the FPGA. In the so-called intrinsic proposals, evolutionary processes take place internally to the hardware, in a pre-defined fixed way;in extrinsic proposals evolutionary processes happen externally to the hardware. The hybrid Hy-EH method, described in this paper allows for the intrinsic creation of a flexible-sized hardware, in an extrinsic way i.e., by means of an evolutionary process that happens externally to the hardware. Hy-EH is also a convenient choice as far as extrinsic methods are considered, since it does not depend on a proprietary solution for its implementation. A comparative analysis of using the Hy-EH versus an existing intrinsic proposal, in two well-known problems, has been conducted. Results show that by using Hy-EH there was little hardware complexity due to the optimized and more flexible use of shorter chromosomes.

A laborious task for animators is the redrawing of 2D models for each new required view or pose. As a consequence, several applications have been proposed to make this task easier. A successful approach is the Cartoon 2.5D Models. Its goal is the automatic computation of new views - by the simulation of 3D global rotation - from user-provided 2D models. However, previous work of 2.5D Models does not have support to calculate new poses efficiently, i.e., the user redraws the input views again in the new pose. We present a novel approach that allows the user to produce both new views and new poses easily for the 2.5D Models, thus puppeteering the 2.5D Models. It makes use of a hierarchical bone structure that explores the methodology of the 2.5D Models, ensuring coherence between the bone structure and the model. The usability of the present approach is intuitive for users acquainted with previous 2.5D Modeling tools.

In this paper we present an original contactless human machine interface for driving car. The proposed framework is based on the image sent by a simple camera device, which is then processed by various computer vision algorithms. These algorithms allow the isolation of the user's hand on the camera frame and translate its movements into orders sent to the computer in a real time process. The optimization of the implemented algorithms on graphicsprocessing unit leads to real time interaction between the user, the computer and the machine. The user can easily modify or create the interfaces displayed by the proposed framework to fit his personnel needs. A contactless driving car interface is here produced to illustrate the principle of our framework.

Despite the success of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction, it is known that its most expressive components do not necessarily represent important discriminant features for pattern recognition. In this paper, the problem of ranking PCA components, computed from multi-class databases, is addressed by building multiple linear learners that are combined through the AdaBoost. M2 in order to determine the discriminant contribution of each PCA feature. In our implementation, each learner is a weakened version of a linear support vector machine (SVM). The strong learner built by the ensemble technique is processed following a strategy to get the global discriminant vector to sort PCA components according to their relevance for classification tasks. Also, we show how the proposed methodology to compute the global discriminant vector can be applied to other multi-class approaches, like the linear discriminant analysis (LDA). In the computational experiments we compare the obtained approaches with counterpart ones using facial expression experiments. Our experimental results have shown that the principal components selected by the proposed technique allows higher recognition rates using less linear features.

The temporal component of videos provides an important clue for activity recognition, as a number of activities can be reliably recognized based on the motion information. In view of that, this work proposes a novel temporal stream for two-stream convolutional networks based on images computed from the optical flow magnitude and orientation, named Magnitude-Orientation Stream (MOS), to learn the motion in a better and richer manner. Our method applies simple nonlinear transformations on the vertical and horizontal components of the optical flow to generate input images for the temporal stream. Experimental results, carried on two well-known datasets (HMDB51 and UCF101), demonstrate that using our proposed temporal stream as input to existing neural network architectures can improve their performance for activity recognition. Results demonstrate that our temporal stream provides complementary information able to improve the classical two-stream methods, indicating the suitability of our approach to be used as a temporal video representation.

In this paper, a deep-learning algorithm based on convolutional neural-network is implemented using python and tflearn for image classification. A large number of different images which contains two types of animals, namely cat and dog are used for classification. Two different structures of CNN are used, namely with two and five layers. It is shown that the CNN with higher layer performs classification process with much higher accuracy. The best CNN model with high accuracy and small loss function deployed in single board computer.

The performance of 3D rendering of graphicsprocessing Unit that converts 3D vector stream into 2D frame with 3D image effects significantly impacts users gaming experience on modern computer systems. Due to its high texture throughput requirement, main memory bandwidth becomes a critical obstacle for improving the overall rendering performance. 3D-stacked memory systems such as Hybrid Memory Cube provide opportunities to significantly overcome the memory wall by directly connecting logic controllers to DRAM dies. Although recent works have shown promising improvement in performance by utilizing HMC to accelerate special-purpose applications, a critical challenge of how to effectively leverage its high internal bandwidth and computing capability in GPU for 3D rendering remains unresolved. Based on the observation that texel fetches greatly impact off-chip memory traffic, we propose two architectural designs to enable processing-In-Memory based GPU for efficient 3D rendering. Additionally, we employ camera angles of pixels to control the performance-quality tradeoff of 3D rendering. Extensive evaluation across several real-world games demonstrates that our design can significantly improve the performance of texture filtering and 3D rendering by an average of 3.97X (up to 6.4X) and 43% (up to 65%) respectively, over the baseline GPU. Meanwhile, our design provides considerable memory traffic and energy reduction without sacrificing rendering quality.
