In this paper, a novel neural network based manifold learning method(NNBML)[1] recently appeared in the Journal of Science is introduced. It can effectively convert high-dimensional data into low-dimensional codes, which are then used for classification. However, it performs not well while dealing with small size face database used for face recognition. We propose a solution generating more samples data based on the existing data. The proposed method is implemented on two well-known face databases, viz. ORL and Yale face databases. The experimental results show that NNBML is able to deal with the task of face recognition after more data samples generated using the proposed method, and also that NNBML outperforms LDA in terms of recognition rate.

We describe algorithms for active segmentation (AS) of the first frame, and subsequent, adaptive object tracking through succeeding frames, in a video sequence. Object boundaries that include different known colours are segmented against complex backgrounds;it is not necessary for the object to be homogeneous. As the object moves, we develop a tracking algorithm that adaptively changes the colour space model (CSM) according to measures of similarity between object and background. We employ a kernel weighted by the normalized Chamfer distance transform, that changes shape according to a level set definition, to correspond to changes in the perceived 2D contour as the object rotates or deforms. This improves target representation and localisation. Experiments conducted on various synthetic and real colour images illustrate the segmentation and tracking capability and versatility of the algorithmin comparison with results using previously publishedmethods.

This paper presents uncertainty propagation in landmark based position estimation methods. Analysis of two methods has been carried out where robot position is estimated by detecting one or two globally distinct features using a pivoted stereo vision system. We make a basic assumption about error in estimating point features in camera images and propagate it into robot position estimate using first order approximation of non-linear functions. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the method.
A view-dependent visibility estimation technique for tree models is proposed in this work. While most previous work focused on visibility estimation of large objects in architectural walkthroughs, we consider the visi...

Rayleigh fading channel is the foundation of mobile radio channel modeling. This paper summarizes four classes of the simulation models for Rayleigh fading channels based on sum-of-sinusoids by a uniform expression, according to the different definition of the assumed parameters in the expression. Among these parameters, the initial phases should be set as random variables and we conclude three cases of phases' definition. With the help of these discussions, it can be seen that the ergodicity and the stationary can not exist simultaneously when the number of multipath wave is finite. Based on this conclusion, some conditions on an effective channel model are proposed, and these conclusions are useful to model the new effective mobile radio channels.

This paper describes the use of variable kernels based on the normalized Chamfer distance transform (NCDT) for mean shift, object tracking in colour video sequences. This replaces the more usual Epanechnikov kernel, improving target representation and localization without increasing the processing time, minimising the distance between successive frame RGB distributions using the Bhattacharya coefficient. The target shape which defines the NCDT is found either by regional segmentation or background-difference imaging, dependent on the nature of the video sequence. The improved performance is demonstrated on a number of colour video sequences.

This paper proposes a low-complexity wavelet-based method for progressive lossy-to-lossless compression of four dimensional (4-D) medical images. The subband block hierarchal partitioning (SBHP) algorithm is modified and extended to four dimensions, and applied to every code block independently. The resultant algorithm, 4D-SBHP, efficiently encodes 4D image data by the exploitation of the dependencies in all dimensions, while enabling progressive SNR and resolution decompression. The resolution scalable and lossy-to-lossless performances are empirically investigated. The experimental results show that our 4-D scheme achieves better compression performance on 4-D medical images when compared with 3-D volumetric compression schemes

In the Shape from Focus (SFF) method, a sequence of images of a 3D object is captured for computing its depth profile. However, it is useful in several applications to also derive a high resolution focused image of the 3D object. Given the space-variantly blurred frames and the depth map, we propose a method to optimally estimate a high resolution image of the object within the SFF framework.

Lattice vector quantization (LVQ) offers substantial reduction in computational load and design complexity due to the lattice regular structure [1]. In this paper, we extended the SPIHT [2] coding algorithm with lattice vector quantization to code hyperspectral images. In the proposed algorithm, multistage lattice vector quantization (MLVQ) is used to exploit correlations between image slices, while offering successive refinement with low coding complexity and computation. Different four-dimensional lattices and significance metrics are considered. Their rate-distortion performance is compared with other 2D and 3D wavelet-based image compression algorithms.

This paper addresses the issue of assessing the quality of the clusters found by fuzzy and hard clustering algorithms. In particular, it seeks an answer to the question on how well cluster validity indexes can automatically determine the appropriate number of clusters that represent the data. The paper surveys several key existing solutions for cluster validity in the domain of image segmentation. In addition, it suggests two new indexes. The first one is based on Akaike's information criterion (AIC). While AIC was devoted to other domains such as statistical estimation of model fitting, it is implemented here for the first time as a validation index. The second index is developed from the well-established idea of cross-validation. The existing and new indexes are evaluated and compared on several synthetic images corrupted with noise of varying levels and volumetric MR data.
