We propose a straightforward skin detection method for online videos. To overcome varying illumination circumstances and a variety of skin colors, we introduce a multiple model approach which can be carried out independently per model. The color models are initiated by skin detection based on face detection and adapted in real time. Our approach outperforms static approaches both in precision and runtime. If we detect a face in a scene, the number of false positives can be diminished significantly. Evaluation is carried out on publicly available on-line videos showing that adaptive multiple model outperforms static methods in classification precision and suppression of false positives.

This paper introduced a novel high performance algorithm and VLSI architectures for achieving bit plane coding (BPC) in word level sequential and parallel mode. The proposed BPC algorithm adopts the techniques of coding pass prediction and parallel & pipeline to reduce the number of accessing memory and to increase the ability of concurrently processing of the system, where all the coefficient bits of a code block could be coded by only one scan. A new parallel bit plane architecture (PA) was proposed to achieve word-level sequential coding. Moreover, an efficient high-speed architecture (HA) was presented to achieve multi-word parallel coding. Compared to the state of the art, the proposed PA could reduce the hardware cost more efficiently, though the throughput retains one coefficient coded per clock. While the proposed HA could perform coding for 4 coefficients belonging to a stripe column at one intra-clock cycle, so that coding for an NxN code-block could be completed in approximate N2/4 intra-clock cycles. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed designs have high throughput rate with good performance in terms of speedup to cost, which can be good alternatives for low power applications.

Two medieval manuscripts are recorded, investigated and analyzed by philologists in collaboration with computer scientists. Due to mold, air humidity and water the parchment is partially damaged and consequently hard to read. In order to enhance the readability of the text, the manuscript pages are imaged in different spectral bands ranging from 360 to 1000nm. A registration process is necessary for further imageprocessing methods which combine the information gained by the different spectral bands. Therefore, the images are coarsely aligned using rotationally invariant features and an affine transformation. Afterwards, the similarity of the different images is computed by means of the normalized cross correlation. Finally, the images are accurately mapped to each other by the local weighted mean transformation. The algorithms used for the registration and results in enhancing the texts using Multivariate Spatial Correlation are presented in this paper. copyright by EURASIP.

In this paper, a novel subspace learning method, semi-supervised marginal discriminant analysis (SMDA), is proposed for classification. SMDA aims at maintaining the intrinsic neighborhood relations between the data points from the same class, while maximizing the margin between the neighboring data points with different class labels. Different from traditional dimensionality reduction algorithms like linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and maximum margin criterion (MMC) which seeks only the global Euclidean structure, SMDA takes local structure of the data into account. Moreover, it is designed for semi-supervised learning which incorporates both labeled and unlabeled data points and avoids suffering the small sample size (SSS) problem. QR decomposition is then employed to find the optimal transformation which makes the algorithm scalable and more efficient. Experiments on face recognition are presented to show the effectiveness of the method.

This paper presents a novel pattern classification approach- a kernel and Bhattacharyya distance based classifier which utilizes the distribution characteristics of the samples in each class. Bhattacharyya distance in the subspace spanned by the eigenvectors which are associated with the smaller eigenvalues in each class is adopted as the classification criterion. The smaller eigenvalues are substituted by a small value threshold in such a way that the classification error in a given database is minimized. Application of the proposed classifier to the issue of handwritten numeral recognition demonstrates that it is promising in practical applications.

In this article, we present the projective equation of a circle in a perspective view, which naturally encodes such important geometric entities as the projected circle center, the vanishing point of the normal direction of the circlepsilas supporting plane and the degenerate conic envelope spanned by the image of circular points (ICPs). Based on this projective equation, we propose an easy technique to calibrate the focal length and the extrinsic parameters of a camera merely by using one perspective view of two arbitrary coplanar circles. Unlike existing optimization algorithm, our method offers a closed form solution through simple matrix manipulation. Experimental results verify the correctness and efficiency of our proposed technique.
