This paper presents a new feature extraction method for iris recognition. Since two dimensional complex wavelet transform (2D-CWT) does not only keep wavelet transformpsilas properties of multiresolution decomposition analysis and perfect reconstruction, but also adds its new merits: approximate shift invariance, good directional selectivity for 2-D image, and limited redundancy, which are useful for iris feature extraction. So, a set of high frequency 2D-CWT coefficients are selected as features for iris recognition. The phase information of the coefficients is used for feature encoding and Hamming distance is adopted for classification. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can get good recognition rate.

We have previously proposed a linear approach for reducing the global drift of a video-based frame-to-frame trajectory estimation method by correcting it at selected points in time based on the alignment of past and current 3D LiDAR measurements (see [7]). In this paper we assess the tolerance to noise of a series of methods derived from the one previously proposed, this time using both linear and non-linear optimization methods to calculate the correction transform. We generate synthetic datasets with various noise pollution levels and assess the performance of each method under investigation in recovering artificially induced odometry estimation errors.

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.

In order to improve the classifier performance in semantic image annotation, we propose a novel method which adopts learning vector quantization (LVQ) technique to optimize low level feature data extracted from given image. Some representative vectors are selected with LVQ to train support vector machine (SVM) classifier instead of using all feature data. Performance is compared between the methods with and without feature data optimization when SVM is applied to semantic image annotation. Experiment results show that the proposed method has a better performance than that without using LVQ technique.

The objective of semantic segmentation in microscopic images is to extract the cellular, nuclear or tissue components. This problem is challenging due to the large variations of these components features (size, shape, orientation or texture). In this paper we improve the technique presented in [17] used to identify the epithelial nuclei (crypt) against interstitial nuclei in microscopic images taken from colon tissues. In the proposed enhanced approach, the crypt inner boundary is detected using the closing morphological pyramid instead of morphological hierarchy. The outer crypt border is determined by the epithelial nuclei, overlapped by the maximal isoline of the inner boundary. The use of sampling in building the pyramid offers computational efficiency, reduces the amount of used memory, increase the robustness and preserve the quality results. An analysis of the two approaches is performed considering the number of pixels processed to create each level. Also the relation between the levels of the hierarchical structures is established.

Some techniques have been applied to improving software quality by classifying the software modules into fault-prone or non fault-prone categories. This can help developers focus on some high risk fault-prone modules. In this paper, a distribution-based Bayesian quadratic discriminant analysis (D-BQDA) technique is experimental investigated to identify software fault-prone modules. Experiments with software metrics data from two real projects indicate that this technique can classify software modules into a proper class with a lower misclassification rate and a higher efficiency.

In automatic image annotation, it is often extracting low-level visual features from original image for the purpose of mapping to high level image semantic information. In this paper, we propose a novel method which integrates kernel independent component analysis (KICA) and support vector machine (SVM) for analyzing the semantic information of natural images. KICA, which contains a nonlinear kernel mapping component, is adopted to extract low-level features from the original image data. Then these feature vectors are mapped to high-level semantic words using SVM to annotate images with labels in a given semantic label set. Comparative studies have done for the performance of KICA with traditional color histogram and discrete cosine transform features. The experimental results show that the proposed method is capable of extracting the components of images as key features, and with these features to map into semantic categories, higher accuracy is achieved.

Pulsar candidate selection identifies prospective observations of modern radio pulsar surveys for further inspection in search of real pulsars. Typically, human experts visually select valuable candidates and eliminate radio frequency interference or other noises. Recently, machine learning methods are adopted to automate this task, which saves human labor and makes it possible for processing millions of observations efficiently. Considering the number of positive training samples are relatively too small and the cost of incorrectly labeling a real pulsar candidate as negative is large, we propose a novel hierarchical candidate-sifting model by emphasizing the cost of incorrect prediction of positive samples and assembling multiple classifiers trained with different weighting parameters. Experiments on three pulsar selection datasets demonstrate our proposed method improves the pulsar-sifting performance a lot according to several standard evaluation metrics.

In classification of multi-source remote sensing image, it is usually difficult to obtain higher classification accuracy. In the previous work, the modeling technique for the remote sensing image classification based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle with mixture model is analyzed theoretically. In this work, experimental studies are performed for investigating the modeling technique. With intensive experiments and sophisticated analysis, it is found that the developed modeling technique can build a robust classification system, which can avoid classifier over-fitting training data and make the learning process trade-off between bias and variance. Meanwhile, designed mixture model is more efficient to represent real multi-source remote sensing images compared to single model.
