M-Array pattern encoding is widely used in structured light for 3-D reconstruction due to its single-projection and single-imaging characteristics. The robustness of M-Array in 3-D reconstruction can be assessed by the accuracy of the global positioning of the code word and the density of the decodable feature points. This article proposes a pattern encoding method of robust M-Array based on texture constraints. M-Arrays are formed by matching and splicing candidate sub-windows, which are composed of symbols obtained from an M-Sequence one by one. To construct an M-Array with more texture information, both the number of edges and the maximum rectangular area within the sub-window are constrained. A novel three-level backtracking mechanism reduces the time complexity. Four indicators are introduced to evaluate the robustness of the M-Array and used to compare the proposed method with existing methods. The results show that the proposed method has low similarity between adjacent sub-windows and high uniformity of symbol distribution globally, indicating better accuracy of sub-window decoding. A 3-D reconstruction experiment in the actual scenes proves that the point cloud density and accuracy obtained by solving the M-Array pattern constructed by the method proposed are better.

pattern matching is the most widely used technique for the compression of printed bi-level text images. In some printed scripts, letters normally attach to each other, or some letters have a simple relation to each other, or there may be undesired touching characters. Detecting such situations and exploiting them to reduce the library size, has a rather great effect on the compression ratio. In this paper, a lossy/lossless compression method for printed typeset bi-level text images is proposed for archiving purposes. For this, three techniques are proposed. First, the number of library prototypes is reduced by detecting and exploiting the mentioned situations. Second, a new effective encoding scheme is proposed for patterns and numbers. Third, three levels are proposed for lossy compression. Experimental results show that the proposed method works better, as high as 1.4-3.3 times in lossy case and 1.2-2.7 times in lossless case at 300 dpi, than the best existing compression methods or standards.

A novel encoding technique is proposed for the recognition of patterns using four different techniques for training artificial neural networks (ANNs) of the Kohonen type. Each template or model pattern is overlaid on a radial grid of appropriate size, and converted to a two-dimensional feature array which then acts as the training input to the ANN. The first technique employs Kohonen's self-organizing network, each neuron of which is assigned, after training, the label of the model pattern. It is found that a graphical plot of the labels of the neurons exhibits clusters (which means in effect that the feature array pertaining to distorted versions of the same pattern belongs to a specific cluster), thereby justifying the coding strategy used in this paper. When the new, unknown pattern is input to the network, it is classified to have the same label of the neuron whose corresponding model pattern is closest to the given pattern. In an attempt to reduce the computational time and the size of the network, and simultaneously improve accuracy in recognition, Kohonen's learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm is used to train the ANN. To further improve the network's performance and to realize a network of minimum size, two constructive learning algorithms, both based on LVQ, are proposed: (1) multi-step learning vector quantization (MLVQ), and (2) thermal multi-step learning vector quantization (TLVQ). When the proposed algorithms are applied to the classification of noiseless and noisy (and distorted) patterns, the results demonstrate that the pattern encoding strategy and the suggested training techniques for ANNs are efficient and robust. For lack of space, only the most essential results are presented here. For details, see Ganesh Murthy and Venkatesh (1996b). (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper presents an algorithm that allows for encoding probability density functions associated to samples of points of R-n. The resulting code is a sequence of points of R-n whose density function approximates that of the set of data points. However, contrarily to sampled data points, code points associated to two different density functions can be matched, which allows to efficiently compare such functions. Moreover, the comparison of two codes can be made invariant to a wide variety of geometrical transformations of the support coordinates, provided that the Jacobian matrix of the transformation be everywhere triangular, with a strictly positive diagonal. Such invariances are commonly encountered in visual shape recognition, for example. Thus, using this tool, one can build spaces of shapes that are suitable input spaces for pattern recognition and pattern analysis neural networks. Moreover, a parallel neural implementation of the encoding algorithm is available for 2D image data. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

This proposed work introduces a novel technique for Fast Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) using Dual-Cross patterns (DCP). DCP encodes second order information in the vertical, horizontal and diagonal direction, by performing the encoding of sample points in the local surrounding region of every center pixel in an image. The local binary pattern (LBP), an efficient visual texture descriptor, performs a comparison between the center pixel and its neighboring pixel. Local tetra patterns (LTrP) is a method which acquires more detailed information by using four possible directions of every center pixel in an image, and is calculated from first order derivatives in horizontal and vertical directions. To analyze its effectiveness, the proposed technique, LBP, and LTrP are compared. Our extensive simulation on Corel database shows that the proposed technique has better time complexity compared to these methods.

In this work, we presented a novel encoding method for tactile communication. This approach was based on several tactile sensory characteristics of human skin at different body parts, such as the head and neck, where location coordinates in the three-dimensional (3D) space were clearly mapped in the brain cortex, and gentle stimulations of vibrational touching with varied strengths were received instantly and precisely. For certain applications, such as playing cards or navigating walk paths for blinded people, we demonstrated specifically designed code lists with different patterns of tactile points in varied temporal sequences. By optimizing these codes, we achieved excellent efficiency and accuracy in our test experiments. As this method matched well with the natural habits of tactile sensory, it was easy to learn in a short training period. The results of the present work have offered a silent, efficient and accurate communication solution for visually impaired people or other users.
