As can be observed from the literature survey, there is no commonly accepted quantitative definition of visual texture. As a consequence, researchers seeking a quantitative texture measure have been forced to search intuitively for texture features, and then attempt to evaluate their performance by different techniques. Dissimilarity analysis is one of the main requirements from the classifier design point of view and provides information of significant importance - regarding feature extraction and selection strategies. This paper explores several texture features of historical and practical significance and presents their comprehensive dissimilarity analysis. An improved post processing scheme has also been proposed for Law's filter based feature extraction technique. Results show a substantial improvement over existing scheme. Cross validation of the results has been accomplished through supervised classification using Probabilistic Neural Network.

Gene expression profiles have become an important and promising way for cancer prognosis and treatment. In addition to their application in cancer class prediction and discovery, gene expression data can be used for the prediction of patient survival. Here, we use particle swarm optimization (PSO) to address one of the major challenges in gene expression data analysis, the curse of dimensionality, in order to discriminate high risk patients from low risk patients. A discrete binary version of PSO is used for gene selection and dimensionality reduction, and a probabilistic neural network (PNN) is implemented as the classifier. The experimental results on the diffuse large B-cell lymphoma data set demonstrate the effectiveness of PSO/PNN system in survival prediction

In this paper we make use of the idea that a robot can autonomously discover objects and learn their appearances by poking and prodding at interesting parts of a scene. In order to make the resultant object recognition ability more robust, and discriminative, we replace earlier used colour histogram features with an invariant texture-patch method. The texture patches are extracted in a similarity invariant frame which is constructed from short colour contour segments. We demonstrate the robustness of our invariant frames with a repeatability test under general homography transformations of a planar scene. Through the repeatability test, we find that defining the frame using using ellipse segments instead of lines where this is appropriate improves repeatability. We also apply the developed features to autonomous learning of object appearances, and show how the learned objects can be recognised under out-of-plane rotation and scale changes.

Design of a low power multiply-and-accumulator (MAC) unit for video processing systems exploiting the similarity of neighboring pixels in video streams is presented in this paper. The proposed technique minimizes dynamic power consumption by analyzing the bit patterns in the input data to reduce switching activities. Special values of the pixels in the video streams such as zero, one, repeated values or repeated bit combinations are detected and control signals are generated to bypass the data and to reuse the results in the MAC unit. It is observed that the proposed scheme helps to reduce operations and switching activities in the MAC unit up to 30% which results in lower power consumption with minimal hardware overhead

The radial lens distortion correction technique based on least squares estimation corrects a distorted image by expanding it nonlinearly so that straight lines in the object space remain straight in the image space. An absolute pipelined architecture is designed to correct radial lens distortion in images by partitioning the distortion correction algorithm into four main modules. The architecture includes a COKDIC based rectangular to polar coordinate transformation module, a back mapping module for nonlinear transformation of corrected image space to distorted image space, a COKDIC based polar to rectangular coordinate transformation module, and a linear interpolation module to calculate the intensities of four pixels simultaneously in the corrected image space. The system parameters include the expanded/corrected image size, distorted image size, the back mapping coefficients, distortion center and the center of the corrected image. The hardware architecture can sustain a high throughput rate of 30 4-MegaPixel (Mpixels) frames per second (total of 120 Mpixels). The pipelined architecture design will facilitate the use of dedicated hardware that can be mounted along with the camera unit.

A design of a high performance digital architecture for a nonlinear image enhancement technique is presented in this paper. The image enhancement is based on illuminance-reflectance model which improves the visual quality of digital images and video captured under insufficient or non-uniform lighting conditions [1]. Systolic, pipelined and parallel design techniques are utilized effectively in the proposed FPGA-based architectural design to achieve real-time performance. Estimation and folding techniques are used in the hardware algorithmic design to achieve faster, simpler and more efficient architecture. The video enhancement system is implemented using Xilinx's multimedia development board that contains a VirtexII-X2000 FPGA and it is capable of processing approximately 66 Mega-pixels (Mpixels) per second.
