By the analysis of experimental data in the processing of OCR, we find that some segmentation and recognition results do not conform to the rules of lexical and just generate the character based on the shape. If the fonts of pending recognized characters are similar with the others, it will easily lead to going wrong in the processing of OCR. For these errors we put forward an idea based on the Limited Length Segmentation Matching and the Bayesian Statistical Classifier. Through the above method, most of the font recognized mistakes can be solved. By the experimental results, it can be proved that this method is an effective way to improve the recognized rate of Japanese character.","PeriodicalId":236156,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134095197","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 using matrix-value regression techniques, some desired properties are found. Firstly, the matrix-value regression technique greatly promotes the efficiency of learning from image pairs. As a result, the matrix-value regression based super-resolution algorithm can be smoothly applied to big data setting. Secondly, the matrix-value regression technique makes it possible to design a patch-to-patch super-resolution algorithm. As far as we know, it is the first patch-to-patch algorithm in the field of single-image super-resolution. Experimental results have shown the efficiency of the matrix-value regression based super-resolution algorithm in the training process.

Firstly, the classifier once trained by the old training set is not able to describe all the characteristics of a class when new samples appear. Secondly, to train a classifier using all the upcoming samples can take a long time so that the speed of updating the classifier is much slower than the speed of new data generation. Thirdly, the newly generated images may be duplicate or similar to current training samples with minor variance, hence training by these minor informative images will waste lots of time and resources, Samples being continuously misclassified by the updated classifiers should be laid with more weight in future update process than other easily classified samples. In this paper, we propose an Incremental learning method using Error and Sensitivity Analysis (IESA) of Multiple Classifier System (MCS) for upcoming images. Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) is used to classify upcoming images firstly and misclassified images with large sensitivity are selected for the following updating process. Experimental results on a large scale image dataset convince the efficiency of the IESA strategy.","PeriodicalId":236156,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116332391","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 energy function mainly consists of two components. One ensures the injection of correlated detail spatial information by using the total variation (TV) method. The other integrates the detail information from gradient representation into the fused result based on the TV method. The spectral information is preserved through L1 norm based on data fitting term. The main feature of the fusion formulation is that it obtains more accurate spectral information through L1 norm and directly injects the fused result with the spatial gradient information with TV term. Since the energy function is non-smooth, the corresponding fused band with the minimum energy is obtained through primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over some classical methods.","PeriodicalId":236156,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133891024","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 the previous paper, based on wavelet analysis, we proposed a design of procedure of averaging waveform of 40-Hz ASSR for our original objective audiometry device. In this paper, we present detail examination using complex continuous wavelet analysis of characteristics of brain waves obtained by our original objective audiometry device.

The Contourlet transform (CT) and two directional two dimensional principal component analysis (2D)2PCA are used here to extract the iris feature and the facial feature respectively, and a new fusion feature vector was formed on the combination of the previous iris and facial features. Lastly, the fusion feature vector is used to construct the covering of high dimensional space using biomimetic pattern recognition method, in which the hyper-sausage neuron is adopted. Furthermore, a fixed random matrix is used here to reduce the computational complexity and improve the recognition efficiency.
