In this paper we apply a previously developed model of texture segmentation using multiple spatially and spectrally localized filters, known as Gabor filters, to the analysis of textures composed of elementary image features known as textons. It is found that for regularly- or irregularly-spaced texton patterns, the segmentation approach works well, in the sense that it is in accordance with visual segmentation. Differences in texton spacing, size, orientation, and phase are all found to lead to successful segmentations.

Recently, Liu and Xu proposed a bind symbol estimation algorithm in digital communications. If all the channels are linear time-invariant finite impluse response (LTI FIR) filters, this algorithm can estimate symbols exactly when the channels and the input symbols satisfy some loose restrictions. We extend this algorithm to two dimensions, and in particular, to multichannel (noise free) blind image restoration. Assuming linear FIR blur functions, given at least three blurred versions of the same image, and loose restrictions (different from those in [1]) on the original image and on the blur functions, the original image can be exactly recovered, up to a scalar multiplier.

The asymptotic behavior of the dual filters associated with biorthogonal spline wavelet (BSW) systems and general biorthogonal Coifman wavelet (GBCW) systems are studied. As the order of the wavelet systems approaches infinity, the magnitude responses of the dual filters in the BSW systems either diverge or converge to some nonideal frequency responses. However, the synthesis filters in the GBCW systems converge to an ideal halfband low pass filter without exhibiting any Gibbs like phenomenon, and a subclass of the analysis filters also converge to an ideal halfband lowpass filter but with a one-sided Gibbs-like behavior. The two approximations of the ideal lowpass filter by the filter associated with a Daubechies orthonormal wavelet and by the synthesis filter in a GBCW system of the same order are compared. Such a study of the asymptotic behaviors of wavelet systems provides insightful characterization of these systems and systematic assessment and global comparison of different wavelet systems.

To establish high-performance facial recognition systems, image descriptor-based methods have been widely adopted in the state-of-the-art. These methods are mainly designed to be run on general-purpose computers. Hence, during the development phase, hardware resources such as available memory and CPU frequency are not considered. Conversely, as low-cost architectures are designed to perform a specific task. Thus, they have limited hardware resources in terms of operating frequency and available memory. Nevertheless, they include essential properties such as autonomy, portability, and low-cost. The facial recognition approaches that will be implemented on hardware architectures will benefit from these properties. In particular, the low-cost will allow the use of facial recognition systems on a large-scale. To overcome this problem, in this work, a trade-off between accuracy and execution time was considered throughout the development phase. To this end, the proposed design methodology is based on the use an image descriptor based on integer computation, as embedded processors are generally inadequate for floating-point calculations. In light of this, the well-known LBP descriptor will be utilized to extract facial features, and specially, we will use the technique of centrally overlapped blocks (CoB) which consists of combining the centers of the distinct blocks in order to preserve the spatial distribution of pixels. Indeed, the LBP descriptor has undergone extensive testing in general-purpose computers, where it has demonstrated its effectiveness. In this study, we aim to evaluate the performance of this descriptor within a low-cost embedded architecture. The proof-of-concept is performed on the low-cost ZC702 SoC FPGA board, which includes a Dual ARM Cortex-A9 with FPGA fabric. The experimental study conducted on the AR, ORL, Yale and Face-95 databases proved the high performance of the proposed system in comparison with the state-of-the-art approaches, where we a
