In this paper, we apply a multiple regression method based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to face data modelling. CCA is a factor analysis method which exploits the correlation between two high dimensional signals. We first use CCA to perform 3D face reconstruction and in a separate application we predict near-infrared (NIR) face texture. In both cases, the input data are color (RGB) face images. Experiments show, that due to the correlation between input and output signal, only a small number of canonical factors are needed to describe the functional relation of RGB images to the respective output (NIR images and 3D depth maps) with reasonable accuracy

Car plate detection is a key component in automatic license plate recognition system. This paper adopts an enhanced cascaded tree style learner framework for car plate detection using the hybrid object features including the simple statistical features and Harr-like features. The statistical features are useful for simplifying the process on cascade classifier. The cascaded tree-style detector design will further reduce the false alarm and the false dismissal while retaining a high detection ratio. The experimental results obtained by the proposed algorithm exhibit the encouraging performance.

In region-based image annotation, keywords are usually associated with images instead of individual regions in the training data set. This poses a major challenge for any learning strategy. In this paper, we formulate image annotation as a supervised learning problem under Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL) framework. We present a novel Asymmetrical Support Vector Machine-based MIL algorithm (ASVM-MIL), which extends the conventional Support Vector Machine (SVM) to the MIL setting by introducing asymmetrical loss functions for false positives and false negatives. The proposed ASVM-MIL algorithm is evaluated on both image annotation data sets and the benchmark MUSK data sets.

In this paper active feature models are proposed. They utilize local texture features and a statistical shape model for the reliable localization of landmarks in images. They are related to active appearance models, but instead of modelling the entire texture of an object they represent image texture by means of local descriptors. The approach has advantages with complex image data like anatomical structures that exhibit high texture variation with limited relevance for the recognition of the object location. Experimental results and the comparison to AAMs on different data sets indicate that active feature models can improve search speed and result accuracy, considerably

We present a new approach to organize an image database by finding a semantic structure interactively based on multi-user relevance feedback. By treating user relevance feedbacks as weak classifiers and combining them together, we are able to capture the categories in the users' mind and build a semantic structure in the image database. Experiments performed on an image database consisting of general purpose images demonstrate that our system outperforms some of the other conventional methods

In this paper, we present a novel idea of co-clustering image features and semantic concepts. We accomplish this by modelling user feedback logs and low-level features using a bipartite graph. Our experiments demonstrate that (1) incorporating semantic information achieves better image clustering and (2) feature selection in co-clustering narrows the semantic gap, thus enabling efficient image retrieval.

This paper presents a method for the fully automatic surveying of cutaneous hemangiomas by means of a hemangioma segmentation and a ruler visible in the images. The algorithm computes the spatial resolution of an image. Hemangioma segmentation is accomplished by a single-layer perceptron classification by means of pixel color features. The algorithm was evaluated on a set of 120 images. It achieves satisfactory results on images with clearly visible, saturated hemangiomas

In this paper, we present a novel graph theoretic approach to the problem of document-word co-clustering. In our approach, documents and words are modeled as the two vertices of a bipartite graph. We then propose isoperimetric co-clustering algorithm (ICA) - a new method for partitioning the document-word bipartite graph. ICA requires a simple solution to a sparse system of linear equations instead of the eigenvalue or SVD problem in the popular spectral co-clustering approach. Our extensive experiments performed on publicly available datasets demonstrate the advantages of ICA over spectral approach in terms of the quality, efficiency and stability in partitioning the document-word bipartite graph.
Struck-out words are often found in handwritten manuscripts. A realistic off-line handwriting recognition system should take care of this common aspect. A simple but efficient approach to this problem is to subject ea...
