In practice, the conventional Kalman filters have a fast convergence rate at the beginning. However, after some iteration the Kalman filter steps become very small. To overcome this defect and to make use of Kalman filter abilities, the matrix covariance resetting idea is used. The matrix covariance presetting usually is used to improve the tracking algorithm result especially for high maneuvering targets. To determine the optimal value of the unknown resetting parameter in each step, the intelligent fuzzy block is used. In this paper, an innovative technique is presented, which resets covariance matrix by using fuzzy logic. It is demonstrated by means of numerical acceleration examples that the tracking capability of the proposed method is essentially as good as that of the traditional methods, especially for high maneuver targets.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131458577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This often relieves the problem of much of the computing complexity. We here propose a tracking method that is based on approximating with an oval the moving object in a video sequence of moving background. Through the use of the proximate distribution densities of the local regions, the discriminating features of the object are extracted from a small neighborhood of the local region containing the tracked object. By estimating the object's location probability in a Bayesian framework, we identify the object via an approximating oval, thus using the ovals to trace the object motion. The method remains effective even when there are certain object occlusion, and illumination and shape changes.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122189369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The definition of multivariate morphological operators requires the introduction of a complete lattice structure on the image data, hence vectorial extrema computation methods are necessary. In this paper, we propose a lexicographical approach with this end, based on the principle of a-trimming, that leads to flexible, but nevertheless pseudo-morphological operators, in the sense that there is no underlying binary ordering relation among the vectors. Moreover a possible solution to this problem is presented as well as a way of automatically computing the parameter a based on statistical measures. The results of a series of color noise reduction experiments are also included, illustrating the superior performance of the proposed approach against uncorrelated Gaussian noise, with respect to state-of-the-art vector ordering schemes.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130465837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a genetic algorithm based method was proposed for improving some dominant feature extraction parameters such as feature vector and its related window length. In this study, an appropriate representation of problem and fitness function for enhancing the described problem is selected. Eventually, we indicate that by applying these improved parameters, more discriminated classes -pre-seizure and normal classes -are obtained.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127558013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We compare the performance with the previously recommended method, simulated annealing, on a number of test images. Encouraging results, together with several advantages of the DC based method, approve use of this approach, and motivate its further exploration.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"147 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129944846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The new filtering design is a generalization of the well known Vector Median Filter. The new filter class is minimizing the cumulated dissimilarity measure of a cluster of pixels belonging to the sliding filtering window and outputs the pixel centrally located within the so called peer group of pixels. The described filter is computationally efficient, easy to implement and very effective in suppressing impulsive noise, while preserving image details and strongly enhancing its edges.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"51 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120863976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By preconditioning the algorithms, one can increase the convergence rate. However, the iterative preconditioned algorithms can be further improved by replacing pixels with blobs as the basis functions for reconstruction. In this paper, using the blob-based basis functions in the iterative preconditioned steepest descent algorithm for single image reconstruction or super-resolution reconstruction, we obtain even better results with lower reconstruction errors. We also show that the blob-based iterative algorithm can stabilize the reconstruction error such that it stays at its minimum at higher number of iterations.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129262683","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
