Optimal mechanisms are determined for the hierarchical decomposition of wire-frame surfaces. A family of box-splines with compact support, suitable for the approximation of wire-frames is defined, generated by arbitrary sampling matrices with integer eigenvalues. Criterion of optimality is the minimization of the variance of the error difference between the original surface and its representation at each resolution level. This is needed so as to ensure that the wire mesh produces at each resolution as close a replica of the original surface as possible.

In this paper, an ICA-based approach is proposed for hyperspectral image analysis. It can be viewed as a random version of the commonly used linear spectral mixture analysis, in which the abundance fractions in a linear mixture model are considered to be unknown independent signal sources. It does not require the full rank of the separating matrix or orthogonality as most ICA methods do. More importantly, the learning algorithm is designed based on the independency of the material abundance vector rather than the independency of the separating matrix generally used to constrain the standard ICA. As a result, the learning algorithm is able to converge to non-orthogonal independent components. This is particularly useful in hyperspectral image analysis since many materials extracted from a hyperspectral image may have similar spectral signatures and may not be orthogonal. The AVIRIS experiments have demonstrated that the proposed ICA provides an effective unsupervised technique for hyperspectral image classification.

The authors present a fully constrained least squares linear spectral mixture analysis-based compression technique for hyperspectral image analysis, particularly, target detection and classification. Unlike most compression techniques that directly deal with image gray levels, the proposed compression approach generates the abundance fractional images of potential targets present in an image scene and then encodes these fractional images so as to achieve data compression. Since the vital information used for image analysis is generally preserved and retained in the abundance fractional images, the loss of information may have very little impact on image analysis. In some occasions, it even improves analysis performance. AVIRIS data experiments demonstrate that it can effectively detect and classify targets while achieving very high compression ratios.

We present a new image sequence segmentation method which combines both spatial and temporal information in a multiresolution framework. A region growing technique in a multiresolution scheme outputs an over-segmented partition of the image scene. Pure temporal information is collected for each region using a feature extraction/feature tracking technique. Motion information is further processed in a pyramidal robust motion estimation scheme, in order to calculate more complex motion parameters for each region. Regions obtained from the first step are clustered according to their motion models. This ensures that rigid objects with luminance discontinuities can be segmented correctly. The method has been successfully tested in real imagery and typical examples are presented.

Fast computation of three-dimensional (3-D) moments is an important and pragmatic problem. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm together with suitable systolic structure for the fast computation of 3-D moments, extending our method for fast computation of 2-D moments. A scalable systolic structure, consisting of adders and latches, fully exploits parallelism of the network architecture and is very suitable for hardware implementation. Our new method, which also dispenses with the need for multiplication, is suitable for both binary images and gray level images. We also extend our method to efficient computation of k-dimensional (k-D) moments (k > 3).

This paper proposes a factorization method that reconstructs camera motion and scene shape based on the matching of multiple images under the condition that the camera captures a perspective view. Starting from the affine projection camera model, the projection depth is iteratively estimated until the measurement matrix has rank 4. Then, the obtained measurement matrix is factorized to restore the three-dimensional information of the scene in the projection space. This approach eliminates noise sensitive processes, such as the calculation of the fundamental matrix, that are required in the factorization for the conventional perspective projection image, and a stable reconstruction is realized. Furthermore, the metric constraint in the conventional affine model is extended, and the metric constraint in the perspective projection condition is derived. It is shown that the reconstruction in Euclidean space is realized if the internal parameters of the camera are given.

Linear unmixing is a widely used remote sensing image processing technique for subpixel classification and detection where a scene pixel is generally modeled by a linear mixture of spectral signatures of materials present within the pixel. tin approach, called linear unmixing Kalman filtering (LUKF), is presented which incorporates the concept of linear unmixing into Kalman filtering so as to achieve signature abundance estimation, subpixel detection and classification for remotely sensed images. Zn this case, the linear mixture model used in linear unmixing is implemented as the measurement equation in Kalman filtering. The state equation which is required for Kalman filtering but absent in linear unmixing is then used to model the signature abundance. By utilizing these two equations the proposed LUKF not only can detect abrupt change in various signature abundances within pixels, but also can detect and classify desired target signatures. The performance of effectiveness and robustness of the LUKF is demonstrated through simulated data and real scene images, Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terra (SPOT) and Hyperspectral Digital Imagery Collection (HYDICE) data.
