BACKGROUND: Dysfunctional reward processing is implicated in multiple mental disorders. Novelty seeking (NS) assesses preference for seeking novel experiences, which is linked to sensitivity to reward environmental cues. METHODS: A subset of 14-year-old adolescents (IMAGEN) with the top 20% ranked high-NS scores was used to identify high-NS-associated multimodal components by supervised fusion. These features were then used to longitudinally predict five different risk scales for the same and unseen subjects (an independent dataset of subjects at 19 years of age that was not used in predictive modeling training at 14 years of age) (within IMAGEN, n z 1100) and even for the corresponding symptom scores of five types of patient cohorts (non-IMAGEN), including drinking (n = 313), smoking (n = 104), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (n = 320), major depressive disorder (n = 81), and schizophrenia (n = 147), as well as to classify different patient groups with diagnostic labels. RESULTS: Multimodal biomarkers, including the prefrontal cortex, striatum, amygdala, and hippocampus, associated with high NS in 14-year-old adolescents were identified. The prediction models built on these features are able to longitudinally predict five different risk scales, including alcohol drinking, smoking, hyperactivity, depression, and psychosis for the same and unseen 19-year-old adolescents and even predict the corresponding symptom scores of five types of patient cohorts. Furthermore, the identified reward-related multimodal features can classify among attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia with an accuracy of 87.2%. CONCLUSIONS: Adolescents with higher NS scores can be used to reveal brain alterations in the reward-related system, implicating potential higher risk for subsequent development of multiple disorders. The identified high-NS- associated multimodal reward-related signatures may serve as a transdiagnostic neuroimaging bi

Motion estimation is a basic issue for many computervision tasks, such as human-computer interaction, motion objection detection and intelligent robot. In many practical scenes, the object movement goes with camera motion. Generally, motion descriptors directly based on optical flow are inaccurate and have low discrimination power. To this end, a novel motion correction method is proposed and a novel motion feature descriptor called the motion difference histogram (MDH) for recognising human action is proposed in this study. Motion estimation results are corrected by background motion estimation and MDH encodes the motion difference between the background and the objects. Experimental results on video shot with camera motion show that the proposed motion correction method is effective and the recognition accuracy of MDH is better than that of the state-of-the-art motion descriptor.

Oracle character is one kind of the earliest hieroglyphics, which can be dated back to Shang Dynasty in China. Oracle character recognition is important for modern archaeology, ancient text understanding, and historical chronology, etc. To overcome the limitation and class imbalance of training data in oracle character recognition, we propose a classification method based on deep metric learning. We use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to map the character images to an Euclidean space where the distance between different samples can measure their similarities such that classification can be performed by the Nearest Neighbor (NN) rule. Because new categories are still being discovered in reality, our model enables the rejection of unseen categories and the configuration of new categories. To accelerate NN classification, we also propose a prototype pruning method with little loss of accuracy. The proposed method exceeds the state of the art on the public dataset Oracle-20K and outperforms CNN with softmax layer on a new dataset Oracle-AYNU.

Text line segmentation from handwritten documents is challenging when a document image contains severe touching. In this paper, we propose a new idea based on Weighted-Gradient Features (WGF) for segmenting text lines. The proposed method finds the number of zero crossing points for every row of Canny edge image of the input one, which is considered as the weights of respective rows. The weights are then multiplied with gradient values of respective rows of the image to widen the gap between pixels in the middle portion of text and the other portions. Next, k-means clustering is performed on WGF to classify middle and other pixels of text. The method performs morphological operation to obtain word components as patches for the result of clustering. The patches in both the clusters are matched to find common patch areas, which helps in reducing touching effect. Then the proposed method checks linearity and non-linearity iteratively based on patch direction to segment text lines. The method is tested on our own and standard datasets, namely, Alaei, ICDAR 2013 robust competition on handwriting context and ICDAR 2015-HTR, to evaluate the performance. Further, the method is compared with the state of art methods to show its effectiveness and usefulness.

Handwriting based Gender identification is challenging due to unconstrained handwriting and individual differences in writing. To solve this problem, we propose a new adaptive multi-gradient of Sobel kernels for extracting Adaptive Multi-Gradient Features (AMGF). For extracted text lines, the proposed method finds dominant pixels based on directional symmetry of text pixels given by AMGF. We perform histogram operation for adaptive multi-gradient values extracted corresponding to dominant pixels. The gradient values that give the highest peak in respective histograms is chosen as features. This results in feature vector having four AMGF values. The same vector are generated for successive text lines in each image to study either consistency, which is expected for females or inconsistency, which is expected for males in writing styles. The correlation is estimated based on feature vectors of the first and the successive text lines until converging or diverging criteria is met. If convergence happens, the input document is considered as female else is considered as male. The method is tested on our own dataset, which includes large variations and standard datasets, namely, QUWI, IAM-1+IAM-2 and KHATT, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

Gender identification based on handwriting analysis has received a special attention to researchers in the field of document image analysis as it is useful for several real-time applications like forensic, population counting, etc. In this paper, we explore Multi-Gradient Directional (MGD) features, which provide direction of dominant pixels obtained by Canny edge image, and gradient direction symmetry. The proposed method further performs histogram operation for gradient angle information of dominant pixels of respective multi-gradient directional images to select angles, which contribute to the highest peak. This results in feature vectors. The process of feature vector formation continues for the segmented first, second, and third text lines in each image by male or female. Next, correlation is estimated for the vector of the first line with successive lines until converging or diverging criteria is met. If the convergence happens, a document is considered as by female, else is considered as by male. The method is tested on our own dataset, which includes images of different scripts, writers, papers, pens, and ages, and the standard database QUWI which includes Arabic and English texts, to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. Comparative studies with the state of the art methods show that the proposed method is effective and useful.

As technology advances to make living comfortable for people, at the same time, different crimes also increase. One such sensitive crime is creating fake International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) for smart mobile devices. In this paper, we present a new fusion based method using R, G and B color components for detecting forged IMEI numbers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work for forged IMEI number detection in mobile images. The proposed method first finds variances for R, G and B images of a forged input image to study local changes. The variances are used to derive weights for respective color components. The same weights are convolved with respective pixel values of R, G and B components, which results in the fused image. For the fused image, the proposed method extracts features based on sparsity, the number of connected components, and the average intensity values for edge components in respective R, G and B components, which gives six features. The proposed method finds absolute difference between fused and input images, which gives feature vector containing six difference values. The proposed method constructs templates based on samples chosen randomly. Feature vectors are compared with the templates for detecting forged IMEI numbers. Experiments are conducted on our own dataset and standard datasets to evaluate the proposed method. Furthermore, comparative studies with the related existing methods show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods.
