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.

In this paper we propose a method for segmenting characters in multispectral images of ancient documents. Due to the low quality of the document images the main idea of our 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. The whole process is parameter free since we calculate the stroke properties and the Gaussian parameters for the imaging model automatically. The study shows the effectiveness of using multispectral data for a computer aided analysis of ancient text documents. We compare the results of the proposed segmentation method to traditional methods based on color images as well as gray level images.

A new algorithm for linear instantaneous independent component analysis is proposed based on maximizing the log-likelihood contrast function which can be changed into a gradient equation. An iterative method is introduced to solve this equation efficiently. The unknown probability density functions as well as their first and second derivatives in the gradient equation are estimated by kernel density method. Computer simulations on artificially generated signals and gray scale natural scene images confirm the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm. Copyright.

One of the important tasks in sensor networks is classifying moving vehicles. Fusion of large amount of sensor measurements can improve network performance and reduce the consumption of sensor network resource. We study using continuous measurements of multiple sensor nodes to improve the classification performance by spatio-temporal fusion and fault detection. Time series decisions of single sensor node are aggregated to make a reliable classification estimation. A fusion center combines local classification decisions and evaluates the correctness of these decisions. A correctness status is sent back to each sensor node. Based on the status, sensor nodes can adjust their temporal fusion result. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of our method.
