In this paper, a sparse coding based framework is proposed for sign language recognition (SLR), especially for the signer-independent case. To deal with the inter-signer variation, a dictionary capturing the common features among different signers is learnt by considering the semantic constraint. Thus for a given sign from an unknown signer, the sparse representation, which maintains more information of this specific sign class while neglecting the identity information as much as possible, can be generated. In our implementation, each sign is partitioned into a fixed number of fragments and the features fusing hand shape and moving trajectory are extracted from the fragments. The dictionary learnt from the training fragments can be taken as the basic subunits of signs and each fragment of sign video can be coded by these basis vectors. Finally, the recognition result is achieved through SVM with the concatenated sparse coding features of the fragments. The experiments and comparisons show that our method is more effective for the signer-independent recognition problem than other baseline methods. At the same time, it also performs well for the signer-dependent case.

In this paper, we propose a Generalized Unsupervised Manifold Alignment (GU-MA) method to build the connections between different but correlated datasets without any known correspondences. Based on the assumption that datasets of the same theme usually have similar manifold structures, GUMA is formulated into an explicit integer optimization problem considering the structure matching and preserving criteria, as well as the feature comparability of the corresponding points in the mutual embedding space. The main benefits of this model include: (1) simultaneous discovery and alignment of manifold structures; (2) fully unsuper-vised matching without any pre-specified correspondences; (3) efficient iterative alignment without computations in all permutation cases. Experimental results on dataset matching and real-world applications demonstrate the effectiveness and the practicability of our manifold alignment method.

Seam carving is an image resizing method that aims at adapting the image to various display screens while reducing the distortion as much as possible. Severe visual distortion may be introduced by repeated removal or insertion of seams within a concentrated region of the image. To reduce such visual distortion, we propose a new AESSC method. First, we distribute the energy of each pixel on the seam to its adjacent 8-connected pixels when removing or inserting a seam. Second, since the information of each pixel is anisotropic, we use the Sobel operator to detect the direction that has the maximum edge information and continue the energy accumulation along this direction. Besides, we incorporate a 3D structure consistency constraint in the energy function and adopt a pixel visibility maintenance method. Experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively reduce visual distortion for stereo images while maintaining the geometric consistency.

In this paper, we propose a cross-layer power allocation scheme over wireless relay networks for quality-of-service(QoS) guarantees. We formulate our original throughput maximization problem into effective capacity maximization problem by applying information theory and the concept of the effective capacity. In our scheme, we focus on full duplex mode and amplify-and-forward(AF) protocol. In particular, our proposed scheme derives closed-form expressions and analyzes the impacts of the SNR of the interference channel on the performance of full duplex relaying system. For comparison purpose, we also give the analysis of half duplex relaying system. Simulation results show that our proposed power allocation scheme can support diverse QoS guarantees and achieve better effective capacity than equal power allocation scheme and direct transmission scheme. Our analysis also indicate that the perfect full duplex mode can achieve twice optimal effective capacity of the half duplex mode.

The conventional Bayesian framework of filtering is based on the assumption that the measurements are available at each time-step without any delay. But in real-life problems, measurements may be randomly delayed in time. In this paper, we modified the unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for arbitrary time delayed measurements. With the help of simulation results, it has been shown that the proposed filter provides more accurate estimation compared to the ordinary UKF in presence of randomly delayed measurements.

Stereoscopic 3D (S3D) image color correction is a major issue in the field of image processing. However, existing color correction algorithms have limitations. Global color correction algorithms cannot handle local color discrepancies, and local color correction algorithms are sensitive to matching quality between reference and target images. In this study, we propose an S3D image color correction algorithm that combines global and local color information to correct color discrepancies between S3D images. Sparse feature matching usually generates only a few matching features, producing error correction results in some local regions. Our algorithm uses dense stereo matching and global color correction algorithms to initialize color values, and improves the local color smoothness and global color consistency of the resulting image, while maintaining the initial color in that image as much as possible. Experimental results show that our algorithm performs better than do five state-of-the-art color correction algorithms.

This paper surveys research on the Resource Space Model RSM. RSM is a classification-based, multi-dimensional and content-based space model for efficiently and effectively managing various resources. As a non-relational data model, it has a rather complete theoretical basis and has significant applications in faceted search and the future cyber-physical society. Applications in picture resources and email resources are introduced.

The pilot contamination is caused by non-orthogonal pilot sequences reuse in uplink, which affects the performance of Massive MIMO systems seriously, so it is necessary to mitigate pilot contamination. In this paper, we propose a pilot contamination precoding scheme to mitigate multi-cell pilot contamination. In the uplink, we propose a cell-defined training scheme, where the same pilot sequence is used in the same cell, and different cells use orthogonal pilot sequences, which eliminates inter-cell interference and introduces intra-cell interference artificially. In the downlink, we adopt Truncated Polynomial Expansion (TPE) precoding to reduce intra-cell interference, since the truncated polynomial of TPE precoding can replace the matrix inversion of Regularized Zero-Forcing (RZF) precoding, which reduces the complexity of RZF precoding and approximates the performance of RZF precoding by suitable truncation orders. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
