Curve matching is one of key issues in computer vision, image analysis and patternrecognition. Based on discrete V-transform, the distance is calculated between curves using the descriptor of V-system to find the matching curves, and then the matching parameters are evaluated in this article. The new approach can find efficiently the rough location of a short extracted image curve in a long reference curve. Different from the existing approaches, it needn't to extract feature points. Extensive tests show that it is efficient.

Detecting multi-view faces is a challenging task, not only because of the face variations in scale, illumination, and expression, but also of the variations caused by multiple views. In this paper, we proposed a multi-layer cascaded architecture, which can focus attention on the promising regions of the image. The whole classifiers are only evaluated on the face like parts of the image, while the most amount of background blocks are excluded by the first few layers of the detector. Instead of using predefined priori knowledge about face view partition, we divide the sample space automatically by the branching competitive learning network at different discriminative resolutions. To maintain the high detection efficiency, we adopt the simplified Support Vector Machines (SVMs), called the mirror pair of points (MPP) classifiers, as the component of our detection system. Experimental results show that our system is competitive with other systems presented recently in the literature.

with the characteristics of precision edge and closed contour, watershed segmentation algorithm is used widely in image segmentation. However, over-segmentation always occurs when it is applied to ultrasound images associated with speckle noise. In this paper, an improved watershed segmentation scheme is proposed based on comprehensive consideration of gray scale information, edge information and the relationship between neighboring regions of ultrasound images. A novel criteria deciding the relationship between neighboring regions was defined, and edge information was also added to the merging guidelines. Similar region merging was then applied to the initial segmentation results. The proposed scheme was tested using representative ultrasound image. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme can produce accurate contours and overcome the over-segmentation phenomenon availably.

In this paper we propose a character segmentation method for multispectral images of ancient documents. Due to the low quality of the images the main idea of this study is to combine the multispectral behavior and contextual spatial information. Therefore we utilize a Markov random field model using the spectral information of the images and stroke properties to include spatial dependencies of the characters. Since the stroke properties and the Gaussian parameters for the imaging model are evaluated automatically the proposed segmentation method requires no training phase. We compared the method to state of the art character segmentation methods and demonstrate the effectiveness of combining spectral and spatial features for the segmentation of characters in multispectral images.

By analyzing the low level features of images only, skin detection in visual data cannot be solved. To compensate for this major drawback of many approaches, we combine a state of the art recognition algorithm with color model based skin detection. Detected faces in videos are the basis for adaptive skin-color models, which are propagated throughout the video, providing a more precise and accurate model in its recognition performance than pure color based approaches. The approach is able to run in real-time and does not need prior data-specific training. We received challenging online videos from an online service provider and use additional videos from public Web platforms covering a grand variety of different skin-colors, illumination circumstances, image quality and difficulty levels. In an extensive evaluation we estimated the best performing parameters and decide on the best model propagation techniques. We show that adaptive model propagation outperforms static low level detection.
