This paper proposes a novel approach to single image super-resolution. First, an image up-sampling scheme is proposed which takes the advantages of both bilateral filtering and mean shift image segmentation. Then we use a shock filter to enhance strong edges in the initial up-sampling result and obtain an intermediate high-resolution image. Finally, we enforce a reconstruction constraint on the high-resolution image so that fine details can be inferred by back projection. Since strong edges in the intermediate result are enhanced, ringing artifacts can be suppressed in the back projection step. We compare our algorithm with several state-of-the-art image super-resolution algorithms. Qualitative and quantitative experimental results demonstrate that our approach performs the best.

This paper presents a system that can automatically segment objects in large scale 3D point clouds obtained from urban ranging images. The system consists of three steps: The first one involves a ground detection process that can detect relatively complex terrain and separate it from other objects. The second step superpixelizes the remaining objects to speed up the segmentation process. In the final step, a manifold embedded mode seeking method is adopted to segment the point clouds. Even though the segmentation of urban objects is a challenging problem in terms of accuracy and problem scale, our system can efficiently generate very good segmentation results. The proposed manifold learning effectively improves the segmentation performance due to the fact that continuous artificial objects often have manifold-like structures. Copyright 2011 ACM.

Humans are capable of describing objects using attributes, such as "the object looks circular and is man-made". Motivated by these high-level descriptions, we build a user-friendly 3D object retrieval system, where the user can browse the database and search for targeted objects using semantic attributes. The main advantage of our system is that it does not require the user to find or sketch a 3D object as the query for 3D object retrieval. Besides, to the best of our knowledge, our system has obtained the best retrieval performance on three popular benchmarks. Copyright 2011 ACM.

Learning in nonstationary environments, also called learning concept drift, has been receiving increasing attention due to increasingly large number of applications that generate data with drifting distributions. These applications are usually associated with streaming data, either online or in batches, and concept drift algorithms are trained to detect and track the drifting concepts. While concept drift itself is a significantly more complex problem than the traditional machine learning paradigm of data coming from a fixed distribution, the problem is further complicated when obtaining labeled data is expensive, and training must rely, in part, on unlabelled data. Independently from concept drift research, semi-supervised approaches have been developed for learning from (limited) labeled and (abundant) unlabeled data; however, such approaches have been largely absent in concept drift literature. In this contribution, we describe an ensemble of classifiers based approach that takes advantage of both labeled and unlabeled data in addressing concept drift: available labeled data are used to generate classifiers, whose voting weights are determined based on the distances between Gaussian mixture model components trained on both labeled and unlabeled data in a drifting environment.

In this paper we propose a novel kernel sparse representation classification (SRC) framework and utilize the local binary pattern (LBP) descriptor in this framework for robust face recognition. First we develop a kernel coordinate descent (KCD) algorithm for 11 minimization in the kernel space, which is based on the covariance update technique. Then we extract LBP descriptors from each image and apply two types of kernels (χ 2 distance based and Hamming distance based) with the proposed KCD algorithm under the SRC framework for face recognition. Experiments on both the Extended Yale B and the PIE face databases show that the proposed method is more robust against noise, occlusion, and illumination variations, even with small number of training samples.

This paper aims to design a wearable terrain recognition system, which might assist the control of powered artificial prosthetic legs. A laser distance sensor and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors were mounted on human body. These sensors were used to identify the movement state of the user, reconstruct the geometry of the terrain in front of the user while walking, and recognize the type of terrain before the user stepped on it. Different sensor configurations were investigated and compared. The designed system was evaluated on one healthy human subject when walking on an obstacle course in the laboratory environment. The results showed that the reconstructed terrain height demonstrated clearer pattern difference among studied terrains when the laser was placed on the waist than that when the laser was mounted on the shank. The designed system with the laser on the waist accurately recognized 157 out of 160 tested terrain transitions, 300ms-2870ms before the user switched the negotiated terrains. These promising results demonstrated the potential application of the designed terrain recognition system to further improve the control of powered artificial legs.

The ever increasing diversification of Web services and software applications poses a real challenge to developers and designers when creating software that has to cope with a myriad of interaction situations, as well as specific directives for ensuring an accessible interaction. Utilizing an advanced web services accessibility assessment tool, they can obtain a better understanding of the accessibility constraints for people with disabilities within Web services and software application's user interfaces. The proposed Web services assessment tool will assist them, with a minimal effort, to explore user-centered design and important accessibility issues for their software implementations. In an effort to solve such issues, this paper takes a step forward and introduces the notion of accessibility in the web service domain, in order to enhance web services with accessibility features capable to ensure that HCI through applications utilizing them is accessible.
