An ordination-fuzzy min-max neural network (OFMM) based on non-metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) is proposed to solve the classification problems of unlabelled input pattern. Firstly, all the input patterns are sorted by MDS to get their similarity measures. Then these measures are used to supervise the following expansion and contraction stage of hyperboxes for classification. OFMM shows the improvements in the validity of unlabelled patterns classification, the network structure, and training time. The experimental results on standard dataset demonstrate that OFMM is a practical and effective classifier which is superior to the traditional general-fuzzy min -max neural network (GFMM).

An information-theoretic approach is used to determine the amount of information that may be safely transferred over a steganographic channel with a passive adversary. A steganographic channel, or stego-channel is a pair consisting of the channel transition probabilities and a detection function. When a message is sent, it first encounters a distortion (due to the channel), then is subject to inspection by a passive adversary (using the detection function). This paper presents results on the amount of information that may be transferred over an arbitrary stego-channel with vanishing probabilities of error and detection. Copyright 2005 ACM.

In this paper, we present the modeling schemes of a class of Bézier surface with negative Gaussian curvature over the rectangular domain and the triangular domain. We have proved that the surface over the rectangular domain is fully determined by the control points of the two opposed boundary curves, and the surface over the triangular domain is fully determined by the control points on the first and second layers. In particular, we can control the shape of the surface by the shape parameter, which increases the degree of freedom of surface modeling.

In this paper, we use computer vision as a feedback sensor in a control loop for landing an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) on a landing pad. The vision problem we address here is then a special case of the classic ego-motion estimation problem since all feature points lie on a planar surface (the landing pad). We study together the discrete and differential versions of the ego-motion estimation, in order to obtain both position and velocity of the UAV relative to the landing pad. After briefly reviewing existing algorithm for the discrete case, we present, in a unified geometric framework, a new estimation scheme for solving the differential case. We further show how the obtained algorithms enable the vision sensor to be placed in the feedback loop as a state observer for landing control. These algorithms are linear, numerically robust, and computationally inexpensive hence suitable for real-time implementation. We present a thorough performance evaluation of the motion estimation algorithms under varying levels of image measurement noise, altitudes of the camera above the landing pad, and different camera motions relative to the landing pad. A landing controller is then designed for a full dynamic model of the UAV. Using geometric nonlinear control theory, the dynamics of the UAV are decoupled into an inner system and outer system. The proposed control scheme is then based on the differential flatness of the outer system. For the overall closed-loop system, conditions are provided under which exponential stability can be guaranteed. In the closed-loop system, the controller is tightly coupled with the vision based state estimation and the only auxiliary sensor are accelerometers for measuring acceleration of the UAV. Finally, we show through simulation results that the designed vision-in-the-loop controller generates stable landing maneuvers even for large levels of image measurement noise. Experiments on a real UAV will be presented in future work.

In this paper, we apply a multiple regression method based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to face data modelling. CCA is a factor analysis method which exploits the correlation between two high dimensional signals. We first use CCA to perform 3D face reconstruction and in a separate application we predict near-infrared (NIR) face texture. In both cases, the input data are color (RGB) face images. Experiments show, that due to the correlation between input and output signal, only a small number of canonical factors are needed to describe the functional relation of RGB images to the respective output (NIR images and 3D depth maps) with reasonable accuracy

This paper presents SPIHT and block-wise SPIHT algorithms where full depth first search algorithm is used to agglomerate significant bits at each bitplane. Search strategies used for SPIHT to date are more or less based on a breadth first search algorithm. The aim of this work is to minimize the final memory usage without paying additional overhead cost. DFS also brings benefits such as resolution scalability and a random access decodable bitstream.

In this poster, we present an approach to contex-tualized semantic image annotation as an optimization problem. Ontologies are used to capture general and contextual knowledge of the domain considered, and a genetic algorithm is applied to realize the final annotation. Experiments with images from the beach vacation domain demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach and illustrate the added value of utilizing contextual information.
