A comparison of the arithmetic complexities of these structures for different filter characteristics is performed. The simulation results show that considering both the high level structure and the algorithm used to realize the subfilters gives a more accurate measure of complexity comparison between different FIR filter structures.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"18 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":"128719883","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}

Our method is motivated by the fact that due to the un homogeneity of image regions, segmentation algorithms often fail because the final contour should depend in those regions. We propose to add constrains, to level set equation, depending in image characteristics. We apply a local coefficient depending on curvature in a local neighbourhood at each point. So the final contour is more homogenous with smoothed regions and more curved regions. In addition, as the stop forces in basic level set equation are not enough to stop propagation in weak edges, we propose to begin by adding surface minimization and region intensity constrains to improve the propagation of the final contour. The surface minimization term proves stabilization efficiency even in presence of nosy and weak boundary. Results illustrated with a medical image demonstrate the efficiency of the method.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"27 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":"126812448","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 decimation factor M is assumed to be an even number. The decimation factor of the first stage is M/2, whereas, that of the second stage is 2. A sine-based compensation filter is introduced to decrease the passband droop of the CIC filter and a cosine filter is introduced to improve the overall stop-band characteristic. As a result the SNR {signal-to-noise ratio) is improved. Using the polyphase decomposition of the comb filters, the polyphase components of the comb filters are moved to the lower rate which is M/2 less than the input rate. Consequently there is no filtering at the high input rate. The proposed filter performs decimation efficiently using only additions/subtractions making it attractive for software radio (SWR) applications.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"112 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":"123168463","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 addition, using Fisher's criterion, a subset of Haar-like features is selected. As a result, our proposed algorithm with its previous counterparts i.e. support vector machine (SVM) and RVM without boosting is compared, which results in a better performance in terms of generalization, sparsity and real-time behavior for CBCL face database.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"68 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":"121558562","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 uniform sections are generated by using the generalized DFT (GDFT) modulation of one prototype filter per section and are designed by using semidefinite programming and/or second-order cone programming.

Feature point tracking is a challenging topic in scenarios involving arbitrary head movements and uncertain data because of noise and/or occlusions. As a natural human action, people move their heads or occlude their faces with their hands or fingers. With this motivation, a graphical model that uses temporal information about feature point movements as well as the spatial relationships between such points, which is updated in time to deal with different head pose variations, is built. Based on this model, an algorithm that achieves feature point tracking through a video observation sequence is implemented. Also, an occlusion detector is proposed to automatically detect occluded points. The proposed method is applied on 2D gray scale video sequences consisting head movements and occlusions and the superiority of this approach over existing techniques is demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"67 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":"115459144","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}

Almost color is the major feature which has been used in skin detection methods. In this paper, we propose a skin detection approach which combines a block-based skin detection classifier with a boosted pixel-based one. The block-based skin detector classifies image blocks based on both color and texture features. In this classifier, a k-means algorithm clusters various training skin samples. The boosted pixel-based classifier combines some explicit boundary skin detectors. These detectors operate in different color spaces. Two structures for the combination of these classifiers are introduced. In the first structure, each image is passed through the block-based classifier and then the pixel-based approach is applied on skin candidate blocks to adjust the results. The second structure uses block-based classifier to refine pixel-based skin detection results. By using both color and texture information, we obtained acceptable results. Our methods are examined on a large image dataset and are compared with some other available methods. The results prove the effectiveness and benefits of our proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":112420,"journal":{"name":"2007 5th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis","volume":"438 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":"126130564","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}
