In this paper, a face recognition method using local qualitative representations is proposed to solve the problem of face recognition in varying lighting. Based on the observation that the ordinal relationship between the average brightness of image regions pair is invariant under lighting changes, Local Binary Mapping is defined as an illumination invariant for face recognition based on Local Binary pattern descriptor, which extracts the local variance features of an image. For the 'symbol' feature vector, hamming distance is used as similarity measurement. It has been proved that the proposed method can provide the accuracy of 100 percent for subset 2, 3, 4 and 98.89 percent for subset 5 of the Yale facial database B when all images in subset 1 are used as gallery.

In this paper, we propose to combine the spectral and texture features to compose the multi-feature vectors for the classification of multispectral remote sensing *** usually is difficult to obtain the higher classification accuracy if only considers one kind feature, especially for the case of different geographical objects have the same spectrum or texture specialty for a multispectral remote sensing *** spectral feature and the texture feature are composed together to form a new feature vector, which can represent the most effective features of the given remote sensing *** this way we can overcome shortcomings of only using the single feature and raise the classification *** system classification performance with composed feature vector is investigated by *** analysis of results we can learn how to combine the multi-feature vector can obtain a higher classification rate, and experiments proved that the proposed method is feasible and useful in multispectral remote sensing image classification study.

In this paper, a pixel-level image fusion algorithm based on Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) has been proposed. Compared with Contourlet Transform, NSCT is redundant, shift-invariant and more suitable for image fusion. Each image from different sensors could be decomposed into a low frequency image and a series of high frequency images of different directions by multi-sacle NSCT. For low and high frequency images, they are fused based on local-contrast enhancement and definition respectively. Finally, fused image is reconstructed from low and high frequency fused images. Experiment demonstrates that NSCT could preserve edge significantly and the fusion rule based on region segmentation performances well in local-contrast enhancement.

Under some special conditions, the P3P problem can have 1, 2, 3 and 4 solutions, and if the 3 control points and the optical center lie on a circle, the problem is indeterminate. In this paper, by the Monte Carlo approach of up to 1 million samples, it is shown that the probabilities of the P3P problem with one solution, two solutions, three solutions, and four solutions are respectively 0.9993, 0.0007, 0.0000, 0.0000. The result confirms the well-known fact that in the most cases, the P3P has a unique solution.

The software systems which are related to national science and technology projects are very crucial. This kind of systems always involves high technical factors and has to spend a large amount of money, so the quality and reliability of the software deserve to be further studied. Hence, we propose to apply four intelligent classification techniques most used in data mining fields, including Bayesian belief networks (BBN), nearest neighbor (NN), rough set (RS) and decision tree (DT), to validate the usefulness of software metrics for risk prediction. Results show that comparing with metrics such as Lines of code (LOC) and Cyclomatic complexity (V(G)) which are traditionally used for risk prediction, Halstead program difficulty (D), Number of executable statements (EXEC) and Halstead program volume (V) are the more effective metrics as risk predictors. By analyzing obtained results we also found that BBN was more effective than the other three methods in risk prediction.

Classification of multi-source remote sensing images has been studied for decades, and many methods have been proposed or improved. Most of these studies focus on how to improve the classifiers in order to obtain higher classification accuracy. However, as we know, even if the most promising method such as neural network, its performance not only depends on the classifier itself, but also has relation with the training pattern (i.e. features). On consideration of this aspect, we propose an approach to feature selection and classification of multi-source remote sensing images based on Mallat fusion and residual error in this paper. Firstly, the fusion of multi-source images can provide a fused image which is more preferable for classification. And then a featureselection scheme approach based on fused image is proposed, which is to select effective subsets of features as inputs of a classifier by taking into account the residual error associated with each land-cover class. In addition, a classification technique base on selected features by using a feed-forward neural network is investigated. The results of computer experiments carried out on a multisource data set confirm the validity of the proposed approach.

Motivated by the requirements of archaeologists we are developing an automated system for acquisition, documentation and management of daily finds of excavations. These daily finds can be separated into large objects like remainders of architecture and small objects of ancient daily life - like ceramics and coins. Ceramics especially are found in numbers of tens of thousands on virtually every excavation, because ceramics have been in use for thousands of years. Until the present day these finds are documented by manual drawings. There is a similar situation in the case of coins, where manual drawings are often used to abstract them from photographs. Therefore we propose an automated acquisition and documentation system based on digital cameras and structured light for small findings. For ceramics we provide further processing to estimate horizontal cross-sections (profile-lines) for printed documentation, as it is done by manual drawing. For this a proper orientation of the acquired 3D-model is required and automatically estimated based on the assumption that ceramics were made on rotational plates (wheels). We are aware that ceramics might not always have been manufactured on rotational plates, because the wheel was not invented everywhere as for the example in the Americas. Even though ceramics from such areas appear to be rotational symmetric, we developed a method based on shape and symmetry analysis to determine the manufacturing techniques of ceramics. This helps to answer another archaeological question regarding the technological advance of an ancient culture. Results for accuracy and performance are shown on real data from recent interdisciplinary projects together with archaeologists from Austria, Germany, Israel and Peru. Furthermore we present preliminary results of the integration of coin classification in our documentation system. Additionally we are currently adapting the London Charter to ensure the intellectual integrity, reliability, transparency,

In face recognition, the dimensionality of raw data is very high, dimension reduction (feature extraction) should be applied before classification. There exist several feature extraction methods, commonly used are principle component analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) techniques. In this paper, we present a comparative study of some feature extraction methods for face recognition in the same conditions. The methods evaluated here include eigenfaces, kernel principal component analysis (KPCA), fisherfaces, direct linear discriminant analysis (D-LDA), regularized linear discriminant analysis (R-LDA), and kernel direct discriminant analysis (KDDA). For the purpose of comparison on feature extraction methods, we adopt nearest neighbor (NN) algorithm from existed classifiers of face recognition, since this classifier is common and simpleness. Empirical studies are conducted to evaluate these feature extraction methods with images from ORL Face Database, and it is found that in most cases LDA-based methods are efficient than PCA-based ones.

Instead of traditionally using a 3D physical model with many control points on it, a calibration plate with printed chess grid and movable along its normal direction is implemented to provide large area 3D control points with variable Z values. Experiments show that the approach presented is effective for reconstructing 3D color objects in computer vision system.
