Neighborhood Preserving Embedding (NPE) is a subspace learning algorithm, which has the ability of preserving local neighborhood structure on the data manifold. Though NPE has been applied in many domains of patternrecognition, it is a vectorbased method and will be encountered the small size sample (SSS) problem when it is directly applied to face recognition. To address this problem, the popular method is to use PCA prior to performing NPE, but the preprocessing procedure using PCA could result in the loss of some important discriminatory information. In this paper, a novel method called twodimensional neighborhood preserving embedding (2DNPE) is proposed to extract the features for face recognition. Extensive experiments are performed to test and evaluate the new method using ORL and Yale face database. The experimental results indicate that the 2DNPE method has better face recognition performance and more effective.

Gait is thought to be the most effective feature for human recognition in the distance. For optimal performance, the feature should include as many different types of information as possible, so in this paper, we present an integrated feature, which integrates motion feature and shape feature based on the Bayesian theory. For motion feature, we use shape variation-based frieze pattern (SVB frieze pattern) as the basis, since it can solve the ball or backpack problems very well, then we match the SVB frieze pattern feature by dynamic time warping (DTW). For shape feature, we use gait energy image (GEI) as the basis, since it is less sensitive to the silhouette noise, then we extract further information by histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) and do the dimensionality reduction by coupled subspaces analysis (CSA) and discriminant analysis with tensor representation (DATER). The proposed approach is tested on the CMU MoBo gait database. The result shows that the proposed approach is an efficient way in increasing the accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a novel fusion-based gender classification method for 3D frontal neutral expression facial shape. Face landmarks, extracted from 3D face shape based on profiles and curvature, are separated as four regions. Experimental investigation to evaluate the significance of different facial regions in the task of gender classification is performed. The classification is performed by using Support Vector Machines (SVMs) based on the feature of regions. Classification results show that the upper region of face contains the highest amount of gender information. Matcher weighting fusion method is also applied to fusion the classification result of four regions. Experimental results demonstrate that fusing multiple facial features can achieve highest correct classification rate to 94.3%.

We present a method for 3D shape reconstruction of inextensible deformable surfaces from monocular image sequences. The key of our approach is to represent the surface as 3D triangulated mesh and formulate the reconstruction problem as a sequence of Linear Programming (LP) problems which can be effectively solved. The LP problem consists of data constraints which are 3D-to-2D keypoint correspondences and shape constraints which prevent large changes of the edge orientation between consecutive frames. Furthermore, we use a refined bisection algorithm to accelerate the computing speed. The robustness and efficiency of our approach are validated on both synthetic and real data.

This paper addresses a method for 3D human motion tracking and voxel-based reconstruction from sparse views. We adopt the annealed Gaussian based particle swarm optimization (AGPSO) for 3D human motion tracking. The AGPSO algorithm incorporates the temporal continuity information into the traditional particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm under a Bayesian framework. In the online tracking process, the state variables are estimated via the particle filtering, where the observation is designed as a minimized Markov Random Field (MRF) energy. Finally, voxel reconstruction is conducted using the skeleton shape prior via dynamic graph cut. The experimental results show that our method performs promisingly against the cluttered background and generates plausible voxel reconstructions from sparse views.

Surface integrity of 3D medical imaging is crucial for surgery simulation or virtual diagnoses. However, undesirable holes often exist due to external damage on bodies or accessibility limitation on scanners. To bridge the gap, the paper proposes an algorithm of filling holes for 3D medical image data based on moving least squares (MLS) method. In the algorithm, medical data is classified into two types and procedure is designed according to the classification. The procedure consists of two steps, namely hole detection and hole completion. In completion part, the detected hole can be automatically filled by interpolation with known surrounding points. Moreover, a threshold is used to constrain the density of the completed surface, so the sampling rate on reconstructed area complies with the original data. We test our algorithm on two types of medical data and the results indicate a robust solution.

An approach for head pose estimation has been proposed in this paper using Hough forest. The estimation of pose are generated by voting from image patches as in a Hough transform. The basic idea is that image patches which contain eyes, hair or neck can give rich information about the head position and orientation. The voting process is implemented by randomized forest which is an efficient and robust tool for classification and regression. The method is quantitatively evaluated by comparing the estimated pose to the ground truth.
