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

The appearance of agricultural products deeply conditions their marketing. Appearance is normally evaluated by considering size, shape, form, colour, freshness condition and finally the absence of visual defects. Among these features, the shape plays a crucial role. Description of agricultural product shape is often necessary in research fields for a range of different purposes, including the investigation of shape traits heritability for cultivar descriptions, plant variety or cultivar patents and evaluation of consumer decision performance. This review reports the main applications of shape analysis on agricultural products such as relationships between shape and: (1) genetic;(2) conformity and condition ratios;(3) products characterization;(4) product sorting and finally, (5) clone selection. Shape can be a protagonist of evaluation criteria only if an appreciable level of image shape processing and automation and data are treated with solid multivariate statistic. In this context, image-processing algorithms have been increasingly developed in the last decade in order to objectively measure the external features of agricultural products. Grading and sorting of agricultural products using machine vision in conjunction with patternrecognition techniques offers many advantages over the conventional optical or mechanical sorting devices. With this aims, we propose a new automated shape processing system which could be useful for both scientific and industrial purposes, forming the bases of a common language for the scientific community. We applied such a processing scheme to morphologically discriminate nuts fruit of different species. Operative Matlab codes for shape analysis are reported.

Recently, there has been a significant interest in employing Terahertz (THz) technology, spectroscopy and imaging for standoff detection. The main advantage of terahertz systems is the possibility for remote detect and identification of chemical compounds. Practical security system in reflection mode is desired. Unfortunately, reflection spectra for many compounds are very similar. Therefore, the simple correlation method is not sufficient to distinguish substances. In this paper we present the concept of using combined techniques of Short Time Fourier Transform (SFFT) and image processing with patternrecognition application in the area of automatic identification of explosives in THz range.

A revision of recognition Strategy Language (RSL), a domain-specific language for patternrecognition algorithm development, is in development. This language provides several tools for patternrecognition algorithm implementation and analysis, including composition of operations and a detailed history of those operations and their results. This research focuses on that history and shows that for some problems it provides an improvement over traditional methods of gathering information. When designing a patternrecognition algorithm, bookkeeping code in the form of copious logging and tracing code must be written and analyzed in order to test the effectiveness of procedures and parameters. The amount of data grows when dealing with video streams; new organization and searching tools need to be designed in order to manage the large volume of data. General purpose languages have techniques like Aspect Oriented Programming intended to address this problem, but a general approach is limited because it does not provide tools that are useful to only one problem domain. By incorporating support for this bookkeeping work directly into the language, RSL provides an improvement over the general approach in both development time and ability to evaluate the algorithm being designed for some problems. The utility of RSL is tested by evaluating the implementation process of a computervision algorithm for recognizing American Sign Language (ASL). RSL history is examined in terms of its use in the development and evaluation stages of the algorithm, and the usefulness of the history is stated based on the benefit seen at each stage. RSL is found to be valuable for a portion of the algorithm involving distinct steps that provide opportunity for comparison. RSL was less beneficial for the dynamic programming portion of the algorithm. Compromises were made for performance reasons while implementing the dynamic programming solution and the inspection at every step of what amounts to a b
