基于核的多元区别分析算法的特征抽取及其在人脸识别中的应用

提出了一种基于核技术的求多元区别分析最佳解的K1PMDA算法，并把这一算法应用于人脸识别中。对线性人脸识别中存在两个突出问题：1、在光照、表情、姿态变化较大时，人脸图像分类是复杂的、非线性的；2、小样本问题，即当训练样本数量小于样本特征空间维数时，导致类内散布矩阵奇异。对于前一个问题，可以采用核技术提取人脸图像样本的非线性特征，对于后一个问题，采用加入一个扰动参数的扰动算法。通过对ORL，Yale Group B以及UMIST三个人脸库的实验表明，该算法是可行的、高效的。     

Map merging for multiple robots using Hough peak matching

Navigation in a GPS-denied environment is an essential requirement for increased robotics autonomy. While this is in some sense solved for a single robot, the next challenge is to design algorithms for a team of robots to be able to map and navigate efficiently.The key requirement for achieving this team autonomy is to provide the robots with a collaborative ability to accurately map an environment. This problem is referred to as cooperative simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). In this research, the mapping process is extended to multiple robots with a novel occupancy grid map fusion algorithm. Map fusion is achieved by transforming individual maps into the Hough space where they are represented in an abstract form. Properties of the Hough transform are used to find the common regions in the maps, which are then used to calculate the unknown transformation between the maps.Results are shown from tests performed on benchmark datasets and real-world experiments with multiple robotic platforms.     

Conflict resolution in a knowledge-based system using multiple attribute decision-making

The metarules useful in the conflict resolution are often directly related to the multiple, conflicting, and non-commensurate objectives associated with the problem domain. However, in its current form, the use of metarules for conflict resolution has some drawbacks. Above all, the metarule use in rule selection is not tailored to the current situation or the specific user; it is tailored to the domain expert, whose domain expertise and preferences were used to construct a knowledge-based system. In this paper, we presents a new method for resolving the conflicts of rules in the knowledge-based system, using decision analysis techniques that explicitly incorporate a user’s preference judgments about the rules. To this end, we consider a conflict resolution problem as a multiple attribute decision-making problem. Further, the proposed method allows for user’s preference judgments that are specified not by rigid format but by user-friendly format for the purpose of reducing burden of information specification.We have applied the proposed methodology to an organizational information-oriented service and resource planning, in which there exist multiple conflicting objectives to be considered.     

基于特征匹配和距离加权的蓝牙定位算法

针对传统iBeacon指纹定位技术中接收信号强度值（RSSI）波动较大、指纹库聚类复杂、存在较大跳变性定位误差等问题,提出一种基于排序特征匹配和距离加权的蓝牙定位算法。在离线阶段,该算法先对RSSI进行加权滑动窗处理,然后根据RSSI向量大小生成排序特征码等值,并与位置坐标等信息组成指纹信息,形成指纹库;在在线定位阶段,根据排序特征向量指纹匹配定位算法和基于距离的最优加权K最邻近法（WKNN）实现室内行人定位。在定位仿真实验中,该算法可以自动根据特征码进行聚类,从而降低了聚类的复杂度,能实现最大误差在0.952 m内的室内行人定位精度。     

一种基于全局和局部特征匹配的流形对齐算法

不同流形样本点之间的关联性挖掘是决定流形对齐算法效率的关键问题。提出了一种新的思路,利用测地距离初步构造不同流形样本点之间的关联性,再利用样本点之间局部几何结构的相似性进行修正,以更为准确地挖掘不同流形样本点之间的关联性。进一步提出一种新的半监督流形对齐算法,利用已知对应点信息和所挖掘样本点之间的关联性,将多个流形数据投影到共同的低维空间。与传统的半监督流形对齐算法相比,本算法在先验信息不充分的情况下,能更准确地联结不同流形数据集。最后通过在实际数据集上的实验验证了算法的有效性。     

A vague set approach for identifying shot transition in videos using multiple feature amalgamation

Shot boundary detection (SBD) is the preliminary and most significant step in Content Based Video Retrieval (CBVR). As such the effectiveness of a CBVR system depends heavily on reliable detection of shot boundaries. In this work, a simple yet effective technique for amalgamating several distance features extracted from video frames has been proposed. The aim here is to develop a technique which is able to produce a better distance feature from the existing ones by hybridizing several distance metrics. In the proposed model, any number of distance features can be incorporated and fused together. The resultant feature is not only more robust but also immune to features which are inefficient. Robustness of the proposed method is tested by combining several low performing features with the more efficient ones. Several statistical amalgamation functions are also tested for determining the most efficient one in terms of F1 score. The power of vague sets has been harnessed to detect the shot boundaries effectively using the resultant distance feature. The proposed method is proved to be effective by means of the results obtained, which show that multiple feature amalgamation can lead to a hybrid distance feature which performs better than the best feature incorporated for SBD. The proposed technique is analyzed using ANOVA. A comparison with the other existing methods portray the efficacy of the proposed approach. This method can also be applied for other research problems where several features are to be fused together for producing superior results than the ones obtained by individual methods.     

几何信息与 SIFT 特征相结合的特定人手写关键词检测

中文汉字类别繁多,书写随意性大,使得中文的手写体关键词检测具有很大的挑战性。提出一种基于文字几何信息和SIFT特征相结合的手写体关键词检测方法,通过计算文本图像特征的匹配度来检测特定书写人的手写关键词。尺度不变特征转换（ scale invariance feature transform,SIFT）局部特征具有良好的稳定性和独特性,既能适应同一书写人手写汉字的差异,又能区分不同书写人的书写笔迹。结合文字的几何信息,通过滑动窗口和最大团查找方法可以有效地删除误匹配点,极大地提高关键词检测的成功率。对大量手写体文本图像的实验结果表明,该方法能够有效检测同一书写人的相同关键词,具有较高的召回率和准确率。     

Joint photometric and geometric image registration in the total least square sense

This paper presents a novel robust image alignment technique that performs joint geometric and photometric registration in the total least square (TLS) sense. Therefore, we employ the total least square metric instead of the ordinary least square (OLS) metric, which is commonly used in the literature. While the OLS model is sufficient to tackle geometric registration problems, it gives no mutually consistent estimates when dealing with photometric deformations. By introducing a new TLS model, we obtain mutually consistent parameters. Experimental results show that our method is indeed more consistent and accurate in presence of noise compared to existing joint registration algorithms.     

Nonlinear multivariable adaptive control using multiple models and neural networks

In this paper, a multivariable adaptive control approach is proposed for a class of unknown nonlinear multivariable discrete-time dynamical systems. By introducing a k-difference operator, the nonlinear terms of the system are not required to be globally bounded. The proposed adaptive control scheme is composed of a linear adaptive controller, a neural-network-based nonlinear adaptive controller and a switching mechanism. The linear controller can assure boundedness of the input and output signals, and the neural network nonlinear controller can improve performance of the system. By using the switching scheme between the linear and nonlinear controllers, it is demonstrated that improved performance and stability can be achieved simultaneously. Theory analysis and simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Noise compensation in a person verification system using face and multiple speech features

In this paper, we demonstrate that use of a recently proposed feature set, termed Maximum Auto-Correlation Values, which utilizes information from the source part of the speech signal, significantly improves the robustness of a text independent identity verification system. We also propose an adaptive fusion technique for integration of audio and visual information in a multi-modal verification system. The proposed technique explicitly measures the quality of the speech signal, adjusting the amount of contribution of the speech modality to the final verification decision. Results on the VidTIMIT database indicate that the proposed approach outperforms existing adaptive and non-adaptive fusion techniques. For a wide range of audio SNRs, the performance of the multi-modal system utilizing the proposed technique is always found to be better than the performance of the face modality.     

Automatic layout of 2D free-form shapes based on geometric similarity feature searching and fuzzy matching

Two-dimensional (2D) irregular layout is widely applied in various manufacturing processes, such as sheet metal cutting, shipbuilding, and electronic component placement. An efficient layout algorithm can effectively improve the material utilization, thereby reducing manufacturing cost. But the free-form shape layout problem is very challenge as it is difficult to exactly represent a free-form shape. There is not an efficient method currently available for the 2D free-form shape layout. This paper proposes a method based on the geometric similarity feature searching and fuzzy matching for the 2D free-form shape layout. The freeman chain code is developed to describe the contour information of shapes and forward-lines to form the basis of the layout strategy. A strategy based on fuzzy matching is proposed for the layout, which includes searching geometric similarity features using the longest common subsequence and the proposed placement algorithm to complete the collision. Three computational experiments are conducted to analyze the performance of the proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method is feasible and effective with the good applicability to achieve a high filling rate in reduced time.     

Tensor linear Laplacian discrimination (TLLD) for feature extraction

Discriminant feature extraction plays a central role in pattern recognition and classification. In this paper, we propose the tensor linear Laplacian discrimination (TLLD) algorithm for extracting discriminant features from tensor data. TLLD is an extension of linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and linear Laplacian discrimination (LLD) in directions of both nonlinear subspace learning and tensor representation. Based on the contextual distance, the weights for the within-class scatters and the between-class scatter can be determined to capture the principal structure of data clusters. This makes TLLD free from the metric of the sample space, which may not be known. Moreover, unlike LLD, the parameter tuning of TLLD is very easy. Experimental results on face recognition, texture classification and handwritten digit recognition show that TLLD is effective in extracting discriminative features.

Secure Hamming distance computation for biometrics using ideal-lattice and ring-LWE homomorphic encryption

With widespread development of biometrics, concerns about security and privacy are rapidly increasing. Homomorphic encryption enables us to operate on encrypted data without decryption, and it can be applied to construct a privacy-preserving biometric system. In this article, we apply two homomorphic encryption schemes based on ideal-lattice and ring-LWE (Learning with Errors), which both have homomorphic correctness over the ring of integers of a cyclotomic field. We compare the two schemes in applying them to privacy-preserving biometrics. In biometrics, the Hamming distance is used as a metric to compare two biometric feature vectors for authentication. We propose an efficient method for secure Hamming distance. Our method can pack a biometric feature vector into a single ciphertext, and it enables efficient computation of secure Hamming distance over our packed ciphertexts.

A new collaborative system framework based on a multiple perspective approach: InteliTeam

This study develops a Web-based collaborative system framework based on a multiple perspective approach. This framework is a recent decision support system (DSS) paradigm proposed by Courtney [Decis. Support Syst. 31 (2001) 17] for knowledge management of and decision making about a special organizational problem. It consists of four main components. The first component is a group decision-making (GDM) approach in which many participants' points of views are considered in the modeling of a specific problem. In the second component, many multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques are employed. The third component is an intelligent system. The fourth component is related to advanced communications that are supported by new technologies such as mobile tools, mobile e-service, and the wireless application protocol (WAP). A new software system called InteliTeam is developed based on the framework. InteliTeam can be accessed from application service providers (ASP), so installation of the software is not required. The software provides online mapping, online queries, and online analysis functions for users anywhere at any time. An example of the software as tested on many organizational problems is presented to illustrate its effectiveness.     

A retrieval system to analyse dermatological lesions using feature ortho-normalisation

An information retrieval system is proposed as an assistance tool for diagnosing the skin lesion using Content-Based Image Retrieval approach. Efficiency of the retrieval system is deliberated in terms of the most relevant retrieval of images from database. The proposed diagnostic assistive model retrieves the skin lesion images and its disease category, case history, symptoms and treatment plan. This retrieval process is made from a dermatology database by the way of visual features in the input image such as shape, texture and colour. The author’s proposed principal component analysis (PCA) feature projection technique is to discriminate the features by projecting them onto a feature subspace. While projecting the features onto a feature subspace features are normalised orthogonally. So the proposed methodology is used to improve the classification by the way of discriminate the features, in-turn it focus the retrieval of comprehensive reference sources, so that the diagnosis accuracy of the dermatologists are also improved. Receiver-operating characteristic curve is used to analyse the proposed computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) method, while analysis we attained high contribution to detect the skin lesions. Totally 1450 images are experimented and the system produced the 99.09% specificity, 96.69% sensitivity and 98.3% accuracy. When compared with other works this system of assessment shows high retrieval and diagnosis concert.
