Maize identification plays a crucial role in seed quality testing and breeding. There are totally 8 varieties maize,which were chosen as samples from the northeast of China in recent years, and Images of 500 maize kernels of every kind of maize were obtained by machine vision. Advanced image processing and patternrecognition technology are used to classify maize. Firstly, labeling algorithm and multi-scale wavelet analysis were used to acquire single maize kernel image;Secondly, computer programs were coded to automatically extract 22 individual morphologic appearance characteristics belonging to 4 categories, which is size, shape, texture and color;At last, kernel principle component analysis(KPCA) and least square support vector machines(LS-SVM) with a binary tree were applied to classify corn maize cultivars. This method gives a recognition rate 87.2%.

Researchers and analysts in modern industrial and academic environments are faced with a daunting amount of multi-dimensional data. While there has been significant development in the areas of data mining and knowledge discovery, there is still the need for improved visualizations and generic solutions. The state-of-the-art in visual analytics and exploratory data visualization is to incorporate more profound analysis methods while focusing on fast interactive abilities. The common trend in these scenarios is to either visualize an abstraction of the data set or to better utilize screen-space. This paper presents a novel technique that combines clustering, dimension reduction and multi-dimensional data representation to form a multivariate data visualization that incorporates both detail and overview. This amalgamation counters the individual drawbacks of common projection and multi-dimensional data visualization techniques, namely ambiguity and clutter. A specific clustering criterion is used to decompose a multi-dimensional data set into a hierarchical tree structure. This decomposition is embedded in a novel Dimensional Anchor visualization through the use of a weighted linear dimension reduction technique. The resulting Structural Decomposition Tree (SDT) provides not only an insight of the data set's inherent structure, but also conveys detailed coordinate value information. Further, fast and intuitive interaction techniques are explored in order to guide the user in highlighting, brushing, and filtering of the data.

Multidimensional visual texture is the appropriate paradigm for physically correct material visual properties representation. The course will present recent advances in texture modelling methodology as applied in computervision, patternrecognition, computer graphics, and virtual/augmented reality applications. Contrary to previous courses on material appearance, we will focus on materials whose nature allows the exploitation of texture modeling approaches. This topic is introduced in the wider and complete context of patternrecognition and image processing. It comprehends modeling of multi-spectral images and videos which can be accomplished either with multi-dimensional mathematical models or sophisticated sampling methods from the original measurements. The key aspects of the topic, i.e., different multi-dimensional data models with their corresponding benefits and drawbacks, optimal model selection, parameter estimation and model synthesis techniques, are discussed. These methods produce compact parametric sets that not only faithfully reproduce material appearance, but are also vital for visual scene analysis, e.g. texture segmentation, classification, and retrieval. Special attention is devoted to recent advanced trends towards Bidirectional Texture Function (BTF) modeling, used for materials that do not obey Lambertian law, and whose reflectance has non-trivial illumination and viewing direction dependency. BTFs represent the best known effectively applicable textural representation of most real-world materials' visual properties. The techniques covered include efficient Markov random field-based algorithms, intelligent sampling algorithms, spatially-varying reflectance models and challenges with their possible implementation on GPU. The course also deals with proper data measurement, visualization of texture models in virtual scenes, visual quality evaluation feedback, as well as description of key industrial and research applications. We will discuss opti

Sparse representation, acquisition and reconstruction of signals guided by theory of Compressive Sensing (CS) has become an active research research topic over the last few years. Sparse representations effectively capture the idea of parsimony enabling novel acquisition schemes including sub-Nyquist sampling. Ideas from CS have had significant impact on well established fields such as signal acquisition, machine learning and statistics and have also inspired new areas of research such as low rank matrix completion. In this dissertation we apply CS ideas to low-level computervision problems. The contribution of this dissertation is to show that CS theory is an important addition to the existing computational toolbox in computervision and patternrecognition, particularly in data representation and processing. Additionally, in each of the problems we show how sparse representation helps in improved modeling of the underlying data leading to novel applications and better understanding of existing problems. In our work, the impact of CS is most felt in the acquisition of videos with novel camera designs. We build prototype cameras with slow sensors capable of capturing at an order of magnitude higher temporal resolution. First, we propose sub-Nyquist acquisition of periodic events and then generalize the idea to capturing regular events. Both the cameras operate by first acquiring the video at a slower rate and then computationally recovering the desired higher temporal resolution frames. In our camera, we sense the light with a slow sensor after modulating it with a fluttering shutter and then reconstruct the high speed video by enforcing its sparsity. Our cameras offer a significant advantage in light efficiency and cost by obviating the need to sense, transfer and store data at a higher frame rate. Next, we explore the applicability of compressive cameras for computervision applications in bandwidth constrained scenarios. We design a compressive camera capable of
