In this paper, a level-set based method that utilizes adaptive color distributions and shape priors for lip segmentation is introduced. More precisely, an implicit curve representation which learns the color information of lip and non-lip points and shape information of lip regions from a training set is employed. The model can adapt itself to the image of interest using a coarse elliptical region. Extracted lip contour provides detailed information about the lip shape. We show that using shape priors improve the segmentation performance, especially the recall rate.","PeriodicalId":152297,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 18th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129445433","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 traditional diagnosis methods of the disorder are cumbersome and expensive. The ability to automatically identify OSAS from ECG recordings is important for clinical diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we presented a system for the automatic recognition of patients with OSA from nocturnal electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings. The presented OSA recognition system comprises of three stages. In the first stage, an algorithm based on DWT was used to analyze ECG recordings for detection ECG-derived respiration (EDR) changes. In the second stage, a FFT based Power spectral density method was used for feature extraction from EDR changes. In the third stage, using a least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) classifier; normal subjects were separated from subjects with OSA based on obtained features. Using 10 fold cross validation method, the accuracy of proposed system was found 96.7%.

When multiple images are considered, the face recognition problem is defined as taking a set of face images from an unknown person and finding the most similar set among the database of labeled image sets. Our proposed method approximates each image set with a geometric convex model (affine/convex hulls) by using the images in these sets. For any pair of models of this form, the distance between them is determined based on the distance between the closest points in these models. By using the kernel trick, the method is extended to the nonlinear case, which allows us to approximate and match complex and nonlinear face image manifolds. The experiments on different databases show that our proposed method outperforms the current state-of-the art methods in many cases.","PeriodicalId":152297,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 18th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125780854","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 paper describes a novel shadow restoration algorithm based on atmospheric effects and characteristics of sun-light for aerial images. In this work, first shadow regions are detected exploiting the Rayleigh scattering phenomena and the fact that shadows have low illumination intensity. After detection shadow restoration is achieved by first restoring partially occluded shadow areas, with modeling these transition regions with a sigmoid function. Then, fully occluded shadow regions are restored by first segmenting the image to uniformly illuminated regions, then multiplying the intensity in these regions with a constant, which is determined by the ratio of intensities between each segment and its non-shadow neighborhood. The experimental results yield better results when compared with the other methods in the literature.","PeriodicalId":152297,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 18th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130030185","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 previous work it is shown that if the target space is sparse like the point like targets, an image of the target space can be constructed with making measurements at only a small number of random frequencies by solving an l1 minimization problem. This greatly reduces the data acquisition time but the computational complexity for the imaging method is high. In this work, subsurface imaging is done with a suboptimal but fast method, orthogonal matching pursuit. Similar results to l1 minimization images are obtained within much shorter times. Also the results are sparse and less cluttered compared to standard backprojection images.","PeriodicalId":152297,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 18th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference","volume":"141 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130922130","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, the practical considerations such as the effects of threshold and interference on spectrum utilization are presented. The results show that threshold level and interference have significant effects on the spectrum utilization. Hence, optimization of threshold for given location and frequency and mitigation of interference are crucial for accurate spectrum sensing.","PeriodicalId":152297,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE 18th Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference","volume":"85 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133089032","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}
