The approach contains three steps which are: (1) face preprocessing, (2) deep features extraction and pair features representation (3) Classification. Experiments are conducted on five public databases. The experimental results show that our approach is comparable with existed approaches.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116081621","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}

LIDAR data acquisition consumes several gigabytes from the storage capacity of the system. So, it's necessary to reduce the on board storage capacity as well as its transmission rate. Compression of LIDAR data means reducing the amount of data required to represent the digital data acquired by LIDAR system. This is done by removing data redundancies to achieve compression. In this paper we explain LIDAR system theory and component, compare between lossy and lossless compression techniques then we discuss LIDAR data compression techniques in order to choose a suitable one for LIDAR system that gives high compression ratio with suitable processing time. In most LIDAR data compression techniques classification of LIDAR data is an important issue as a preprocessing step to simplify the data. Using more than one compression algorithms increase the compression ratio but increase the processing time as well.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123837907","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 proposed transformation is very suitable for the limited energy resource wireless multimedia sensor networks (WMSNs) requiring very low bitrates and other embedded systems.

The increasing spatial and temporal resolution of globally available satellites such as Sentinel-2 gives a unique opportunity to monitor crops systematically by vegetation index time-series. To explore the applicability of Sentinel-2 for crop phenology monitoring, we analyzed the Normalized Differential Vegetation Index (NDVI) time series with crop calendar for the year 2018 from crop fields in Samara airport area, Russia. This work has great potential to provide valuable support for monitoring crop phenology and providing precise management strategy. The dates of active tillering, jointing and maturity detected from NDVI could be useful in supporting crop modeling, extension irrigation, fertilization management, harvest determination and in last enhance food security.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122908827","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, we propose a method to select optimum frequencies based on time reversal. After time reversal, there always be some frequency points that lead to the amplitude of time reversal signal higher than conventional signal, while other frequency points are opposite. We extract signal data of these special frequency points to detect the target. And we consider two scenarios that the target response is known or unknown. The extracted data is used in binary hypothesis test of target detection. Although the number of points by optimum frequencies selection is less than the non-selection, the detection probability is significantly higher than non-selection.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"17 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133923871","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}

Thus, an important issue to be considered is applying an unsupervised method to generate a representation in low dimension to analyze emotions. Such a representation coming from data needs to be stable and meaningful, just like the 2D or 3D representation of emotions elaborated by psychology. In this paper, we propose a fully unsupervised approach, called Organization-Controlled AutoEncoder (OCAE), combining autoencoder with PCA to build an emotional representation. We utilize the result of PCA on speech features to control the organization of the data in the latent space of autoencoder, through adding an organization loss to the classical objective function. Indeed, PCA can keep the organization of the data, whereas autoencoder leads to better discrimination of the data. By combining both, we can take advantage of each method. The results on Emo-DB and SEMAINE database show that our representation generated in an unsupervised manner is meaningful and stable.","PeriodicalId":162584,"journal":{"name":"2019 5th International Conference on Frontiers of Signal Processing (ICFSP)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126739925","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}
