In this paper, we investigate the efficiency of different view angles when classifying gender with gait biometrics for the first time. A gait database is built for this purpose in which walking videos are recorded at seven different views for each subject. Then, we employ a robust gait representation method to extract gait features. The class separability of these features from different view angles are analyzed and compared. A set of experiments are designed to evaluate the performance of gait based gender classification along with the changes of view angle. The experimental results show that 0deg and 180deg are the worst view angles in this two-category case and the 90deg view dose not perform the best, unlike it takes the best performance in gait recognition.

In contrast to the fixed rate modeling of the conventional methods, recently introduced variable rate particle filters (VRPF) achieves to track maneuvering objects with a small number of states by imposing a probability distribution on state arrival times. Although this enables VRPF an appealing method, representing the target motion dynamics with a single model hinders the capability of estimating maneuver parameters precisely. To overcome this weakness we have incorporated multiple model approach with the variable rate model structure. The introduced model referred as Multiple Model Variable Rate Particle Filter (MM-VRPF) utilizes a parsimonious representation for smooth regions of trajectory while it adaptively locates frequent state points at high maneuver regions, resulting in a much more accurate tracking. Simulation results obtained in a bearings-only target tracking problem show that the proposed model outperforms the conventional VRPF, the fixed rate multiple model particle filters (MMPF) and interacting multiple model using extended Kalman filters (IMM-EKF).

This paper proposes a new human action recognition method which deals with recognition task in a quite different way when compared with traditional methods which use sequence matching scheme. Our method compresses a sequence of an action into a Motion History image (MHI) on which low-dimensional features are extracted using subspace analysis methods. Unlike other methods which use a sequence consisting of several frames for recognition, our method uses only a MHI per action sequence for recognition. Obviously, our method avoids the complexity as well as the large computation in sequence matching based methods. Encouraging experimental results on a widely used database demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper presents a novel method for identity recognition based on the 2D gait representation: Gait Energy image (GEI) which is the averaged silhouette over one gait cycle. An ensemble of Gabor kernels is first convolved with GEI to extract discriminative feature. The obtained Gabor gait representation is then projected into lower dimensional subspace using discriminative common vectors (DCV) analysis. The final classification is performed in this subspace. The proposed method is tested on the USF HumanID Database. Experimental results show that Gabor-based method can improve recognition rate, and DCV is superior to other traditional dimensional reduction algorithm in the gait recognition application.

Human key posture extraction will benefit for human action recognition, human action retrieval, human behaviour understanding and so on. This paper proposes an approach to select key postures from a human action video based on Radon transform. Cluster is used on the Radon transform to select the final key postures of human action video. The approach does not require motion extraction from the human action video. The experiments results show that the proposed approach is efficient.

This paper presents a novel level set method for image segmentation. Gray-level moments are used to estimate two fitting functions that approximate local intensities on the two sides of object boundaries, which are then incorporated into a variational level set framework. An energy functional is defined on a contour, which characterizes the approximation of local intensities on the two sides of the contour by the two fitting functions. This energy can be minimized when the contour is on the object boundary. Thus, image segmentation is performed by minimizing this energy functional. A desirable feature of our method is that it is not sensitive to the contour initialization. Moreover, our method is able to segment images with intensity inhomogeneity. Only a small number of iterations are needed to obtain the final result, which makes our method more efficient than previous level set methods.

In this paper, an on-line signature verification system exploiting local and global information using two-stage fusion is presented. At the first stage, global information is extracted as I3-dimensional vector and recognized by Majority Classifiers, and then local information is extracted as time functions of various dynamic properties and recognized by BP neural network classifier. By fusing global and local information and introducing an enhanced dynamic time warping algorithm and a normalized feature measure, our method obtained an average EER of 4.02% on public database SVC2004( First Signature Verification Competition 2004) Task2 compared to 6.90% the first place at SVC2004.

This paper presents an evaluation of two different 3D scanning devices. They can be put into operation depending on the monetary constraints of the user on one hand, and the accuracy needed for a specific application on the other hand. The setting up of the systems and the process of scanning with the devices are presented. Two setups were formed to evaluate the capabilities of a low costs scanning device together with industrial scanning devices. A comparison of the scans obtained was made by using a Konica Minolta VI-9i industrial scanning solution as a reference. The analysis comprises the estimation of surface flatness, the evaluation of measuring of geometric shapes, and the appraisal of the time required for obtaining a virtual 3D representation of a scanned object. The results show that both the curves as well as the shapes as a whole have been captured accurately.

In wireless sensor networks, to obtain a long network lifetime is a fundamental issue while without sacrificing crucial aspects of quality of service (area coverage, sensing reliability, and network connectivity). In this paper, we present a Voronoi-based sleeping configuration to deal with different sensing radii and location error. With our proposed sleeping candidate condition, redundant sensors are optionally identified and scheduled to sleep in order to extend the system lifetime while maintaining adequate sensor redundancy to tolerate sensor failures, energy depletions, and location error. Simulation results show that there is a tradeoff among energy conservation, area coverage, and fault tolerance, which varies between different sleeping candidate conditions.

This paper proposes an effective gait recognition approach based on the Gait Energy image (GEI) representation. Synthetic GEI samples are first generated to address the problem of lacking training data. Then the Gabor phase spectrum of GEI which was ignored in the previous work is utilized as the input feature, and it is subsequently embedded into a low dimensional manifold by locality preserving projections to perform classification. The proposed recognition approach is evaluated on the USF HumanID database. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms other automatic algorithms in terms of recognition accuracy.
