Target detection in hyperspectral images is important in many applications including search and rescue operations, defense systems, mineral exploration, mine detection and border security. In this study, the goal is to detect the nine sub-pixel targets, from seven different materials, that are placed around the town. For this purpose, eight hyperspectral target detection algorithms are compared and the three most successful algorithms are fused together. The results are compared with ROC curves, and it is found that the fusion of signed ACE, CEM and AMSD algorithms can achieve very successfull results in comparison to the other algorithms.

Synthesized speech poses a serious threat to speaker verification systems, which is aggravated by speech synthesis systems becoming more freely available and easily adaptable to a target speaker. This motivated research into synthetic speech detection to circumvent the threat. Although current algorithms are effective in the detection of HMM-based speech synthesizers, unit selection based speech synthesizers remain a serious threat due to its ability to generate spoofing speech which easily overcame existing detectors. Current error rates for their detection is a lot higher than that obtained for other spoofing methods. This paper proposes a detection algorithm to counter unit selection based synthesis speech. It is free of training and exploits presence of artifacts in image spectrogram to perform detection. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt targeted for unit selection based synthesis speech. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Digital imageprocessing, i.e. the use of computer systems to process pictures, has applications in many fields, including of medicine, space exploration, geology and oceanography and continues to increase in its applicability. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the ability of imageprocessingalgorithms on a small computing platform. Specifically we created a road sign recognition system based on an embedded system that reads and recognizes speed signs. The paper describes the characteristics of speed signs, requirements and difficulties behind implementing a real-time base system with embedded system, and how to deal with numbers using imageprocessing techniques based on shape and dimension analysis. The paper also shows the techniques used for classification and recognition. Color analysis also plays a specifically important role in many other different applications for road sign detection, this paper points to many problems regarding stability of color detection due to daylight conditions, so absence of color model can led a better solution. In this project lightweight techniques were mainly used due to limitation of real-time based application and Raspberry Pi capabilities. Raspberry Pi is the main target for the implementation, as it provides an interface between sensors, database, and imageprocessing results, while also performing functions to manipulate peripheral units (usb dongle, keyboard etc.).

The imageprocessing arose from the idea of the necessity to replace the human observer by a machine. The interest of this paper is to replace the medical image by information interpretable. Usually, experts have manually performed to count the cell nuclei biopsy samples, one by one. This method ensures that accuracy is achieved in the final diagnosis delivered by pathologists, but the time until the patient is notified can vary from weeks to months depending on the laboratory resources. Cancer developing speed is also a limiting factor, so the sooner the disease is discovered the better and quicker the patient can start with the treatment or preparations for surgery can be arranged. Promptness in cancer recognition increases the chances to overcome this illness that affects every year more and more men as the world population's life expectancy increases. So, for this reason, it has proposed an automatic method. To return the more reliable and fast diagnosis, we applied a method based on tools and algorithms. The chain of this processing is begun with the segmentation to separate the various constituent zones the image. Secondly, we have the step of detecting the edges of the prostatic cells as well their center. Finally, we have the step of counting where we are going to find a score for the diagnosis.

The algorithms for dense correspondences in stereo images are an extensively researched topic, since it is an essential step in a large number of applications. Despite the fact that the first stereo matching algorithms were proposed some decades ago, novel approaches regarding typical, but also cutting-edge applications, are always in demand. Stereo matching is an inverse, ill-posed problem, which usually depends on the application and the scenario. In this contribution, a hybrid approach for stereo matching is proposed, which is based on graph-cuts optimization (global) and cross-based aggregation (local) under a hierarchical scheme. It is shown that the combined effect of a global method in a coarse layer and a local method in finer layers improves the matching results. This hybrid approach exploits the strengths and ameliorates the weaknesses of the individual global and local algorithms. The resulted disparity map is robust without outliers even in untextured areas and at the same time high fidelity details are accurately represented. This hybrid scheme is evaluated on challenging indoor datasets. It is also computationally efficient for applying it on low-processing power applications.

This paper proposes a framework for analyzing video of physical processes as a paradigm of dynamic data-driven application systems (DDDAS). The algorithms were tested on a combustion system under fuel lean and ultra-lean conditions. The main challenge here is to develop feature extraction and information compression algorithms with low computational complexity such that they can be applied to real-time analysis of video captured by a high-speed camera. In the proposed method, image frames of the video is compressed into a sequence of image features. then, these image features are mapped to a sequence of symbols by partitioning of the feature space. Finally, a special class of probabilistic finite state automata (PFSA), called D-Markov machines, are constructed from the symbol strings to extract pertinent features representing the embedded dynamic characteristics of the physical process. This paper compares the performance and efficiency of three image feature extraction algorithms: Histogram of Oriented Gradients, Gabor Wavelets, and Fractal Dimension. The k-means clustering algorithm has been used for feature space partitioning. The proposed algorithm has been validated on experimental data in a laboratory environment combustor with a single fuel-injector.

This paper presents a complexity control system for depth maps intra-frame prediction of the 3D-High Efficiency Video Coding (3D-HEVC) standard. The proposed system uses a Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller over the Simplified Edge Detector heuristic to skip the Depth Modeling Modes (DMMs) evaluation dynamically according to a defined target rate. When analyzing the proposed system under Common Test Conditions, the proposed controller stabilizes the system to the target rate (i.e., the percentage of DMMs evaluation) after encoding a few frames, with negligible encoding efficiency impacts. The BD-rate degradation varies from 0.50% to 0.20%, on average, when the target rates vary from 5% to 15%. These target rates imply in an aggressive reduction in the DMMs evaluations, skipping the DMMs from 85% to 95% of the cases.

image segmentation algorithm is to divide the images into several regions with specific and unique characteristics, and is an important technology to extract the interested target. image segmentation is the key step to realize the research from general imageprocessing into image analysis, and is vital preprocessing method of image recognition and computer vision. We cannot obtain correct recognition if we do not have correct segmentation. Nevertheless, the only basis of segmentation process is brightness or color of pixels in an image. In the processing of computer automatic segmentation, we experience several problems, such as uneven illumination, effect of noise, indistinct part in image, and shadow, and these factors may cause false segmentation. In order to overcome the disadvantages of the traditional segmentation algorithm, in this paper, we propose a novel segmentation algorithm based on Markov Random Field. The segmentation algorithm proposed in this paper is based on Markov Random Field Mode and Bayesian theory, and we determine the objective function in image segmentation problem on the basis of optimality criterion of statistical decision and estimation theory. Some optimization algorithms are used to obtain the maximum possible distribution of Markov Random Field which satisfy these conditions. The experimental result reflects the effectiveness and robustness of our algorithm. As a supplement, we analyze the development trend of the Markov Random Field theory.

Decomposition strategies have been shown to be a successful methodology to tackle multi-class classification problems. Among them, One-vs-One approach is a commonly used technique that consists in dividing the original multi-class problem into easier-to-solve binary sub-problems considering each possible pair of classes. However, this methodology is limited to those classifiers returning a single real value for each prediction. In this work, we present a new One-vs-One approach that is able to deal with interval-valued outputs. In order to achieve this goal, we propose applying a normalization method for intervals along with the corresponding extension of three different aggregation strategies: voting, weighted voting, and WinWV. The experimental results show the suitability of the normalization method and the improvement obtained by One-vs-One with respect to a state-of-the-art interval-valued Fuzzy Rule-Based Classification System (IVTURS).
