In this paper, we survey recent approaches to blue-noise sampling and discuss their beneficial applications. We discuss the sampling algorithms that use points as sampling primitives and classify the sampling algorithms based on various aspects, e.g., the sampling domain and the type of algorithm. We demonstrate several well-known applications that can be improved by recent blue-noise sampling techniques, as well as some new applications such as dynamic sampling and blue-noise remeshing.

Feature extraction methods have an important role in image classification. In this paper, a hybrid texture feature descriptor is proposed by utilizing the attributes of two complementary features, PRICoLBP and LPQ. PRICoLBP performs well in the case of geometric and photometric variations however it does not properly express the local texture of an image, while LPQ method performs well for the local structure of an image. We propose to use the hybrid scheme by combining the properties of PRICoLBP and LPQ and name it as Pair wise Rotation Invariant Co-occurrence Local Phase Quantization (PRICLPQ). Standard texture and material datasets have been used to verify the robustness of proposed hybrid scheme. The experiments show that the proposed hybrid scheme outperforms the state-of-the-art feature extraction methods like LBP, LPQ, CLBP, LBPV, SIFT, MSLBP, Lazebnik and PRICoLBP in term of accuracy.

Recent advances in visual tracking have focused on handling deformations and occlusions using the part-based appearance model. However, it remains a challenge to come up with a reliable target representation using local parts, and hence existing trackers continue to face drifting problems. To deal with this challenge, we propose a robust online model, formulating the tracking task as a problem of identifying Temporally Coherent Part (TCP) clusters. Specifically, we pose the TCP clusters identification task as a dense neighborhoods searching problem using a relational hyper graph in which the relationship among multiple temporal local parts is encoded as the affinity value of a hyper edge connecting them. Such high-order relations ships among multiple local parts across the temporal domain make our tracker more robust towards deformations and occlusions. Extensive experiments on various challenging video sequences demonstrate that our TCP-based method performs better than the state-of-the-art methods.

In view of the draw backs of mango grade identification in China, which still relies on photoelectric sorting and manual separation, this paper presents a processing method on the basis of the technology of computer vision and digital image. Utilizing image processing technology, the researcher calculated the length of the long-short-axis, marked the location of it and calculated the 7 parameters, chroma, length, width and etc.,4 of which are chosen as the key characteristics of the BP input of network to build a network and identify the level of mango through analysis of the external characteristics of mango. The method is based on traditional characteristics detection, using boundary tracking algorithm and the length of the new long-short-axis detection algorithm. The result of experiment indicates that the calculating method and judging of the level of mango are precise and accurate, with an average recognition rate of 92%. Therefore, the method has a great practical value, which can be applied to other agricultural products classification.

One key challenge of facial trait recognition is the large non-rigid appearance variations due to some irrelevant real world factors, such as viewpoint and expression changes. In this paper, we explore how the shape information, i.e. facial landmark positions, can be explicitly deployed into the popular Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture to disentangle such irrelevant non-rigid appearance variations. First, instead of using fixed kernels, we propose a kernel adaptation method to dynamically determine the convolutional kernels according to the spatial distribution of facial landmarks, which helps learning more robust features. Second, motivated by the intuition that different local facial regions may demand different adaptation functions, we further propose a tree-structured convolutional architecture to hierarchically fuse multiple local adaptive CNN subnetworks. Comprehensive experiments on WebFace, Morph II and MultiPIE databases well validate the effectiveness of the proposed kernel adaptation method and tree-structured convolutional architecture for facial trait recognition tasks, including identity, age and gender recognition. For all the tasks, the proposed architecture consistently achieves the state-of-the-art performances.

We present a robust model to locate facial landmarks under different views and possibly severe occlusions. To build reliable relationships between face appearance and shape with large view variations, we propose to formulate face alignment as an l_1-induced Stagewise Relational Dictionary (SRD) learning problem. During each training stage, the SRD model learns a relational dictionary to capture consistent relationships between face appearance and shape, which are respectively modeled by the pose-indexed image features and the shape displacements for current estimated landmarks. During testing, the SRD model automatically selects a sparse set of the most related shape displacements for the testing face and uses them to refine its shape iteratively. To locate facial landmarks under occlusions, we furtherpropose to learn an occlusion dictionary to model different kinds of partial face occlusions. By deploying the occlusion dictionary into the SRD model, the alignment performance for occluded faces can be further improved. Our algorithm is simple, effective, and easy to implement. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets and two newly built datasets have demonstrated its superior performances over the state-of-the-art methods, especially for faces with large view variations and/or occlusions.
