In this work, the affine point set matching is formulated under a variational Bayesian framework and the model points are projected forward into the scene space by a linear transformation. A directed acyclic graph is presented to represent the relationship between the parameters, latent variables, model and scene point sets and an iterative approximate algorithm is proposed for the estimation of the posterior distributions over parameters. Furthermore, the anisotropic covariance is assumed on the transition variable and one Gaussian component is provided for the inference of outlier points. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves good performance in terms of both robustness and accuracy.

In this paper, a new sequence matching algorithm called as Exemplary Sequence Cardinality (ESC) is proposed. ESC combines several abilities of other sequence matching algorithms e.g. DTW, SSDTW, CDP, FSM, MVM, OSB~1. Depending on the application domain, ESC can be tuned to behave such as these different sequence matching algorithms. Its generality and robustness comes from its ability to find subsequences (as in CDP and SSDTW), to skip outliers inside the target sequences (as in MVM and FSM) and also in the query sequence (as in OSB) and it has the ability to have many to one and one to many correspondences (as in DTW) between the elements of the query and the target sequences. It's special characteristic of skipping noisy elements from query sequence along with other afore mentioned properties gives it an edge over FSM. In case of word spotting application, the outliers skipping capability of ESC makes it less sensible to local variations in the spelling of words, and also to noise present in the query and/or in the target word images. Due to it's capability of sub-sequence matching, the ESC algorithm has the ability to retrieve a query inside a line or piece of line. Finally, its multiple matching facilities (many to one and one to many matching) is proven to be well advantageous in case of different length of target and query sequences due to the variability in scale, font, type/size factors. By experimenting on printed historical document images, we have demonstrated the interest of proposed ESC algorithm in specific cases when incorrect word segmentation and word level local variations occur regularly.

Drawing tests have been long used by practitioners and researchers for early detection of psychological and neurological impairments. These tests allow subjects to naturally express themselves as opposed to an interview or a written assessment. Bender Gestalt Test (BGT) is a well-known and established neurological test designed to detect signs of perceptual distortions. Subjects are shown a number of geometric patterns for reconstruction and assessments are made by observing properties like rotation, angulations, simplification and closure difficulty. The manual scoring of the test, however, is a time consuming and lengthy procedure especially when a large number of subjects is to be analyzed. This paper proposes the application of image analysis techniques to automatically score a subset of hand drawn images in the BGT test. A comparison of the scores reported by the automated system with those assigned by the psychologists not only reveals the effectiveness of the proposed system but also reflects the huge research potential this area possesses.

keyword spotting in video document images is challenging due to low resolution and complex background of video images. We propose the combination of Texture-Spatial-Features (TSF) for keyword spotting in video images without recognizing them. First, a segmentation method extracts words from text lines in each video image. Then we propose the set of texture features for identifying text candidates in the word image with the help of k-means clustering. The proposed method finds proximity between text candidates to study the spatial arrangement of pixels that result in feature vectors for spotting words in the input frame. The proposed method is evaluated on word images of different fonts, contrasts, backgrounds and font sizes, which are chosen from standard databases such as ICDAR 2013 video and our video data. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing method in terms of recall, precision and f-measure.

As an important branch of computational photography, light field photography combines the hardware design of optical system with key algorithm of signal processing quite well. Unlike traditional photography which can only record light ray's two-dimensional position, light field photography system can record four-dimensional position and direction. Therefore, much more image information can be obtained from light field photography. With the development of 3D display technology, light field based autofocus and 3D display technology is becoming more and more popular. In this paper, a light field based new 3D reconstruction algorithm for buildings and office environment is proposed by applying Wavelet Transform and SVM (Support Vector Machine) model to obtain the image focusing quality assessment, along with the Mean Shift Algorithm and Random Field Model to get the depth map of the scene. Firstly, light field image is captured by using a light field camera. Secondly, we use frequency domain digital refocus algorithm to manipulate light field image and obtain several serialized refocused images with different focus. Thirdly, wavelet features are extracted from each refocused image, and then an image focusing quality assessment is conducted by using RBF (Radial Basis Function) kernel based SVM model. Finally, we use Mean Shift algorithm to realize color clustering of the original light field image, and then build MRF (Markov Random Field) Model with color nodes. By iterating the likelihood depth result obtained from real scenario depth calibrations according to image focusing quality assessment, finally the depth map of the scene is reconstructed. Experiments are conducted to prove the feasibility of the proposed 3D reconstructed algorithm based on light field. And the experimental results on real datasets demonstrate good performance of this algorithm.

Achieving a good recognition rate for scene characters is a big challenge due to non-uniform illumination effects, perspective distortions, multiple colors or contrasts, different fonts and their various sizes, background or orientation variations, etc. Unlike the existing recognition methods that use binary information or the features extracted from different domains, the proposed method explores gray information in the form of a filter bank to extract the discriminative power for all the 62 scene character classes. We propose a sliding window (patch) operation over a character image for learning the global features, which represent the structures of character images of all the classes by reconstructing a filter bank from the original data. We introduce shareable constrains to activate class-specific filters from the filter bank. Further, we propose constraints by studying the nearest neighbor patches and exemplar selection to maximize the gap between inter-classes and minimize the gap between intra-classes. The method is evaluated and compared with several existing recognition methods in terms of character recognition rate. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.
