This paper deals with the enhancement of the readability in historic texts written on parchment. Due to mold, air, humidity, water, etc. parchment and text are 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 1000 nm. The readability enhancement is based on a spectral and spatial analysis of the multivariate image data by multivariate spatial correlation. The main advantage of the method is that especially the text regions are enhanced which is provided by generating a mask image. This mask is based on the automatic reconstruction of the ruling scheme of the text pages. The method is tested on two medieval Slavonic manuscripts written on parchment.

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.

In this work, multi-view ear recognition problems are examined in detail. A new multi-view ear recognition approach based on B-Spline pose manifold construction in discriminative projection space which is formed by null kernel discriminant analysis (NKDA) feature extraction is presented. Many experiments and comparisons are provided to show the effectiveness of our multi-view ear recognition approach.

Palmprint is one of the most unique and stable biometric characteristics. Although 2D palmprint recognition can achieve high accuracy, the 2D palmprint images can be easily counterfeited and much 3D depth information is lost in the imaging process. This paper presents a new approach, 3D palmprint recognition, to exploit the 3D structural information of the palm surface. The structured-light imaging is used to acquire the 3D palmprint data, from which the features of Mean Curvature, Gauss Curvature and Surface Type (ST) are extracted. A fast feature matching and score level fusion strategy are then used to classify the input 3D palmprint data. With the established 3D palmprint database, a series of verification and identification experiments are conducted and the results show that 3D palmprint technique can achieve high recognition rate while having high anti-counterfeiting capability.

Human key posture extraction from videos will benefit video storage, video retrieval, human action recognition, human behaviour understanding and so on. This paper presents an approach to select key postures from human action sequences using 2D information. There are two steps in the proposed method. Information measurement which is a kind of global feature of a frame is used to roughly find key posture candidates. Then, a body skeleton feature which is a kind of local feature is applied to select final key postures from the candidates obtained in the first step. The experiments show that the proposed method is efficient.

Past decades, numerous spectral analysis based algorithms have been proposed for dimensionality reduction, which plays an important role in machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, most of these existing algorithms are developed intuitively and pragmatically, i.e., on the base of the experience and knowledge of experts for their own purposes. Therefore, it will be more informative to provide some a systematic framework for understanding the common properties and intrinsic differences in the algorithms. In this paper, we propose such a framework, i.e., ldquopatch alignmentrdquo, which consists of two stages: part optimization and whole alignment. With the proposed framework, various algorithms including the conventional linear algorithms and the manifold learning algorithms are reformulated into a unified form, which gives us some new understandings on these algorithms.

An approach for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image de-noising based on independent component analysis (ICA) basis images is proposed. Firstly, the basis images and the code matrix of the original image are obtained using ICA algorithm. Then, pointwise Hoder exponent of each basis is computed as a cost criterion for basis enhancement, and then the enhanced basis images are classified into two sets according to a separation rule which separates the clean basis from the original basis. After these key procedures for speckle reduction, the clean image is finally obtained by reconstruction on the clean basis and original code matrix. The reconstructed image shows better visual perception and image quality compared with those obtained by other traditional techniques.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast threshold. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper using wavelet transformation fractal dimension to fuse dual band infrared images, and then detect targets is better than using mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.
