Pulsar candidate selection identifies prospective observations of modern radio pulsar surveys for further inspection in search of real pulsars. Typically, human experts visually select valuable candidates and eliminate radio frequency interference or other noises. Recently, machine learning methods are adopted to automate this task, which saves human labor and makes it possible for processing millions of observations efficiently. Considering the number of positive training samples are relatively too small and the cost of incorrectly labeling a real pulsar candidate as negative is large, we propose a novel hierarchical candidate-sifting model by emphasizing the cost of incorrect prediction of positive samples and assembling multiple classifiers trained with different weighting parameters. Experiments on three pulsar selection datasets demonstrate our proposed method improves the pulsar-sifting performance a lot according to several standard evaluation metrics.

Deep learning scheme has received significant attention during these years, particularly as a way of building hierarchical representations from unlabeled data for a variety of signal and information processing tasks. However, deep neural networks suffer from slow learning speed since most used training algorithms are based on variations of the gradient descent algorithms which require iterative optimization and thus are time-consuming. In addition, a series of control parameters need to be specified empirically which lacks of the theoretical guidance, and current learning algorithms for deep networks are not very suitable to incremental learning scenario. To address these issues, we propose a fast learning scheme in this paper. The basic idea of our approach is to pre-train basic units such as auto-encoders of the deep architecture in an analytical way without any iterative optimization procedure. This scheme is also extended to an incremental learning version. The experimental result shows the superiority of our approach over the state-of-the-art gradient descent based algorithms. To demonstrate the impact of our algorithm on complicated real world applications, we give an example of its performance in astronomical spectra patternrecognition.

Automatic image annotation and tagging is necessary for indexing and searching of images using querying a text. It is widely used in search engines like Google, Yahoo, Baidu, etc. Fast image Tagging (FastTag) algorithm is proposed to accelerate image annotation process, while keeping the precision of automatic image annotation results. Feature mapping is used to map image features vectors onto higher dimensional feature space. Feature mapping methods plays an important role in automatic image annotation. In this paper, we have compared 6 kernels, among which four kernels are used in homogeneous feature mapping and two kernels are used in discriminative tree based feature mapping, to investigate which feature mapping performs better for automatic image annotation. The performance of these methods has been analyzed by conducting intensive experiments on three different datasets as used by FastTag algorithm in their experiments. We have found that the homogeneous feature mapping with χ 2 kernel is more suitable when used in FastTag algorithm in terms of precision, recall, FI score and N+ measures, and with a relatively acceptable performance.

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.

In this work we present an obstacle detection and tracking solution applied to Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) in industrial environments. The proposed method relies on information provided by an omnidirectional stereo vision system enabling 360 degree perception around the AGV. The stereo data is transformed into a classified digital elevation map (DEM). Based on this intermediate representation we are able to generate a set of obstacle hypotheses, each represented by a 3D cuboid and a free-form polygonal model. The cuboidal model is used for the classification of each hypothesis as "Pedestrian", "AGV", "Large Obstacle" or "Small Obstacle", while the free-form polylines are used for object motion estimation relying on an Iterative Closest Point (ICP) method. The obtained measurements are subjected to a Kalman filter based tracking approach, in which the data association takes into account also the classification results.

In this paper we present a fast and robust solution for pedestrian detection that can run in real time conditions even on mobile devices with limited computational power. An optimization of the channel features based multiscale detection schemes is proposed by using 8 detection models for each half octave scales. The image features have to be computed only once each half octave and there is no need for feature approximation. We use multiscale square features for training the multiresolution pedestrian classifiers. The proposed solution achieves state of art detection results on Caltech pedestrian benchmark at over 100 FPS using a CPU implementation, being the fastest detection approach on the benchmark. The solution is fast enough to perform under real time conditions on mobile platforms, yet preserving its robustness. The full detection process can run at over 20 FPS on a quad-core ARM CPU based smartphone or tablet, being a suitable solution for limited computational power mobile devices or embedded platforms.
