Several methods have previously been proposed for the automatic segmentation of retinal blood vessels. In this paper we propose a classifier-based method. First the images are preprocessed so that the within class variability of the vessel and background classes are minimized. Next, the image is scanned with a window of a certain size. Polar run-length matrices are simply created by transforming the windows into polar coordinates and then constructing conventional run length matrices. Two features are then extracted for each gray level value in the polar run length matrix. The feature vectors are then classified using a multilayer perceptron artificial neural network. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the human observers and with those methods previously reported in literature.","PeriodicalId":206267,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Digital Image Processing","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115145832","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}

Then the Least Square Methods is used to synthesize these features points to a straight line in order to get the skew angle and correct them. Experimental results show that this algorithm is fast and strong anti-noise.

To preserve most structures in presence of noise makes the estimation difficult. In such case for each structure, data which belong to other structures are also outliers in addition to the outliers for all the structures. Robust regression techniques are commonly used to serve the model building process for noisy data to the vision community, that fits the majority data and then to discover outliers, they tend to fail to cope with the situation. In this paper we show a newly proposed regression diagnostic measure is capable for identifying large fraction of outliers, and regression diagnostics may be a better choice to the robust regression. We demonstrate the whole thing through several artificial multiple model step data.","PeriodicalId":206267,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Digital Image Processing","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126845150","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 new histogram based lip segmentation technique is proposed considering local kernel histograms in different illumination invariant colour spaces. The histogram is computed in local areas using two Gaussian kernels; one in the colour space and the other in the spatial domain. Using the estimated histogram, the posterior probability associated to non-lip class is then computed for each pixel. This process is performed considering different colour spaces. A weighted averaging method is then used for fusing the posterior probability values. As the result a new score is obtained which is used for labeling the pixels as lip or non-lip. The advantage of the proposed method is that the segmentation process is totally unsupervised. So, the method is robust against different variations such as variation in lip shape, skin colour, facial hair, illumination, etc. Moreover, an improved performance is achieved by fusing colour information.","PeriodicalId":206267,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Digital Image Processing","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115892316","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}

A novel virtual human animation approach is proposed to realize high-quality and realistic 3D human model animation. This approach utilizes skinned mesh technique based on Direct3D and the effect of 3D human model animation shows that the approach we proposed have good performance and can successfully solve the serration problem which is a definite flaw of traditional CSL. In addition, a constraint-based Inverse Kinematics (IK) algorithm for gesture motion retargeting is also presented in this paper. As there are multiple models in our system, the proposed algorithm is aimed to retarget the sign language data captured by motion capture device to different 3D human models with different sizes and proportions. Experimental results prove that it can greatly improve the exactness of sign language.","PeriodicalId":206267,"journal":{"name":"2009 International Conference on Digital Image Processing","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125427998","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}
