Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) has been shown to be an efficient clustering tool. However, NMF¿s batch nature necessitates recomputation of whole basis set for new samples. Although NMF is a powerful content representation tool, this limits the use of NMF in online processing of large data sets. Another problem with NMF, like other partitional methods, is determining the actual number of clusters. Deciding the rank of the factorization is also critical since it has a significant effect on clustering performance. This paper introduces an NMF based incremental clustering algorithm which allows increasing number of clusters adaptively thus eliminates optimal rank selection problem. Test results obtained on large video data sets demonstrate that the proposed clustering scheme is capable of labeling linearly separable data as well as non-separable samples with a small false positive ratio.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast threshold. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper using wavelet transformation fractal dimension to fuse dual band infrared images, and then detect targets is better than using mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.

In this paper, we presented a ringing metric to evaluate the quality of images restored using iterative image restoration algorithms. A ringing metrics is used to assessment the restored images based on the Gabor filter. The experimental results validate the proposed method perform well over a wide range of restoration image ringing levels assessment. And the proposed model has given good agreement with observer ratings obtained in subjective experiments.

The paper focus on the problem of scintigraphic images restoration. These images are often disturbed by the bad detection equipment quality. The aim is to improve regions of interest perception, to help useful information extraction and so to allow good understanding of the pathological phenomenon. The restoration is an ill-posed problem. So, inverting the distortion model in presence of additive noise is often numerically unstable. We propose, then, a new framework based on the Fourier and the Wavelet domain, in order to benefit from the advantages of each one. The Fourier regularized deconvolution exploits the Fourier representation efficiency of the colored noise. Whereas the wavelet packets denoising exploits the wavelet representation efficiency and the good localization of inherent noise in this domain. We noticed the performance of the proposed method in terms of edges preservation, contrast and uniformity in the images.

A theoretical study for modeling technique of the remote sensing image classification based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle is presented in the paper. According to the MDL principle, modeling problem is an optimization procedure to find the shortest expected code length. Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is adopted as the system cost function to measure expected codelength, and the codelength will be the model we desired. The advantage of using the MDL principle to build appropriate model is analyzed theoretically, model optimization technique also is described.

Palmprint is one of the most unique and stable biometric characteristics. Although 2D palmprint recognition can achieve high accuracy, the 2D palmprint images can be easily counterfeited and much 3D depth information is lost in the imaging process. This paper presents a new approach, 3D palmprint recognition, to exploit the 3D structural information of the palm surface. The structured-light imaging is used to acquire the 3D palmprint data, from which the features of Mean Curvature, Gauss Curvature and Surface Type (ST) are extracted. A fast feature matching and score level fusion strategy are then used to classify the input 3D palmprint data. With the established 3D palmprint database, a series of verification and identification experiments are conducted and the results show that 3D palmprint technique can achieve high recognition rate while having high anti-counterfeiting capability.

Human key posture extraction from videos will benefit video storage, video retrieval, human action recognition, human behaviour understanding and so on. This paper presents an approach to select key postures from human action sequences using 2D information. There are two steps in the proposed method. Information measurement which is a kind of global feature of a frame is used to roughly find key posture candidates. Then, a body skeleton feature which is a kind of local feature is applied to select final key postures from the candidates obtained in the first step. The experiments show that the proposed method is efficient.

A quick 3D needle segmentation algorithm for 3D US data is described in this paper. The algorithm includes the 3D quick randomized Hough transform (3DGHT), which is based on the 3D randomized Hough transform and coarse-fine searching strategy. We tested it with water phantom. The results show that our algorithm works well in 3D US images with angular deviation less than 1 degree and position deviation less than 1 mm, and the computational time of segmentation with 35 MB data is within 1s.

An approach for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image de-noising based on independent component analysis (ICA) basis images is proposed. Firstly, the basis images and the code matrix of the original image are obtained using ICA algorithm. Then, pointwise Hoder exponent of each basis is computed as a cost criterion for basis enhancement, and then the enhanced basis images are classified into two sets according to a separation rule which separates the clean basis from the original basis. After these key procedures for speckle reduction, the clean image is finally obtained by reconstruction on the clean basis and original code matrix. The reconstructed image shows better visual perception and image quality compared with those obtained by other traditional techniques.
