One of the possible solutions is that not only using frontal face but combining frontal and profile face images as gallery images. According to this idea, this paper proposes a simple, efficient robust SIFT feature method, which generates the face feature database (FFD) with multi-pose face images. The feature vectors are extracted from multiple poses of each person's face by using SIFT algorithm. Then, by computing the dot product of each feature vector with all others, the robust features which constitute the FFD could be identified. Meanwhile, in the proposed scheme, the importance of features is considered by assigning different weights, which improves accuracy. Experimental results on the PEI and the CMU PIE database demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":236156,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition","volume":"52 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":"126706674","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}

Using the online lifting scheme of signals and wavelet thresholding in a moving window of dyadic length, we can remove unpleasant or noise errors in the data. Insufficiency of traditional Wavelet denoising in real-time signal processing is discussed. Requirements of online denoising are studied, and a moving window is introduced into traditional Wavelet transform. Genuine images are frequently corrupted by noise from various sources. It has been confirmed to have a better edge-preserving quality than linear filters in certain applications. By using the moving window, an online Wavelet denoising method is recommended. Many different developments are described by the signal extensively used in denoising domain. The simulation results show the success of these improvements for fault diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":236156,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition","volume":"60 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":"123453089","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}

Affine covariant images are constructed from the original image by assigning an affine invariant weight to each point in the image. Based on the first order moment of these affine covariant images, a system of linear equations is constructed to estimate the affine transformation parameters. The affine covariant images are derived in polar coordinate system, and weights of points on the same radial direction can be calculated together. In compare with the cross-weighted moment method, the proposed method yields a smaller computation burden. Experimental results also show that the proposed method can be used for the recovery of affine transformation parameters by a proper selection of parameters.","PeriodicalId":236156,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition","volume":"21 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":"121512025","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}

First, mutual information (MI) method was used to determine nine inputs including three dimensional GRFs and six joint angles as WNN inputs to predict seven number of outputs. The network was trained based on batch descent gradient algorithm using inter subject data space which provided by leave-one-out (LOO) technique. The WNN predictions for the left-out subject were compared with inverse dynamics calculations based on root mean square error (RMSE) and its percentage as well as Pearson correlation analysis (p). Results showed that multi dimensional WNN was capable to model the highly nonlinear relationship between GRF and joint angles as inputs and muscle activities as outputs.","PeriodicalId":236156,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition","volume":"38 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":"133302304","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}
