The time complexity of the adaptive mean shift is related to the dimension of data and the number of iterations. The computational complexity will increase proportionally with the increase of the data dimension. An approximate neighborhood queries method is presented for the computation of high dimensional data, in which, the localitysensitive hashing(LSH) is used to reduce the computational complexity of the adaptive mean shift algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the complexity of the adaptive mean shift algorithm and can produce a more accurate classification than the fixed bandwidth mean shift algorithm.

Object recognition from images is one of the essential problems in automatic imageprocessing. In this paper we focus specifically on nearest neighbor methods, which are widely used in many practical applications, not necessarily related to image data. It has recently come to attention that high dimensional data also exhibit high hubness, which essentially means that some very influential data points appear and these points are referred to as hubs. Unsurprisingly, hubs play a very important role in the nearest neighbor classification. We examine the hubness of various image data sets, under several different feature representations. We also show that it is possible to exploit the observed hubness and improve the recognition accuracy.

As life expectancy increases, particularly in the developed world, so does the prevalence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). AD is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by neurofibrillary plaques and tangles in the brain that leads to neuronal death and dementia. Early diagnosis of AD is still a major unresolved health concern: several biomarkers are being investigated, among which the electroencephalogram (EEG) provides the only option for an electrophysiological information. In this study, EEG signals obtained from 161 subjects - 79 with AD, and 82 age-matched controls (CN) - are analyzed using several nonlinear signal complexity measures. These measures include: Higuchi fractal dimension (HFD), spectral entropy (SE), spectral centroid (SC), spectral roll-off (SR), and zero-crossing rate (ZCR). HFD is a quantitative measure of time series complexity derived from fractal theory. Among spectral measures, SE measures the level of disorder in the spectrum, SC is a measure of spectral shape, and SR is frequency sample below which a specified percent of the spectral magnitude distribution is contained. Lastly, ZCR is simply the rate at which the signal changes signs. A t-test was first applied to determine those features that provide significant differences between the groups. Those features were then used to train a neural network. The classification accuracies ranged from 60-66%, suggesting they contain some discriminatory information;however, not enough to be clinically useful alone. Combining these features and training a support vector machine (SVM) resulted in a diagnostic accuracy of 78%, indicating that these feature carry complementary information.

Deblurring camera-based document image is an important task in digital document processing, since it can improve both the accuracy of optical character recognition systems and the visual quality of document images. Traditional deblurring algorithms have been proposed to work for natural-scene images. However the natural-scene images are not consistent with document images. In this paper, the distinct characteristics of document images are investigated. We propose a content-aware prior for document image deblurring. It is based on document image foreground segmentation. Besides, an upper-bound constraint combined with total variation based method is proposed to suppress the rings in the deblurred image. Comparing with the traditional general purpose deblurring methods, the proposed deblurring algorithm can produce more pleasing results on document images. Encouraging experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

The Structural SIMilarity Measure (SSIM) combined with the sequential Monte Carlo approach has been shown [1] to achieve more reliable video object tracking performance, compared with similar methods based on colour and edge histograms and Bhattacharyya distance. However, the combined use of the structural similarity and a particle filter results in increased computational complexity of the algorithm. In this paper, a novel fast approach for video tracking based on the structural similarity measure is presented. The tracking algorithm proposed determines the state of the target (location, size) based on the gradient ascent procedure applied to the structural similarity surface of the video frame, thus avoiding computationally expensive sampling of the state space. The new method, while being computationally less expensive, has shown higher accuracy compared with the standard mean shift algorithm and the SSIM Particle Filter (SSIM-PF) [1] and its performance is illustrated over real video sequences.
A fast and efficient algorithm is presented to label the connected components for binary image, especially for very huge images or any image larger than the available memory. The cascading style scheme compresses the ...

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for on-line signature verification using wavelet packet. Signatures are first normalized and resampled, thus they have the same number of sample points. Then, several types of local features are extracted, so that wavelet transform can be applied on them. After that, we conduct experiments to select the best local features, wavelet bases and wavelet packet settings. Also, experiments are carried out to verify the reliability and efficiency of our approach, which performs better than discrete wavelet transform and competes with the state-of-arts.
