The method integrates data collection, both sensor images and weather, as well as modelling, with the signal processing detection methods. The detection methods presented show that mines can be detected using optical methods, even when the image sequence show very little contrast. Increasing the number of data collection times affects the detection rate and false alarm rate in a positive way. The result from the test with randomly chosen images show performance better than random for all of the tested cases, excellent for some cases. Using prior knowledge in the choice of time of data collection, the result from testing the method on real mine field data shows interesting result.","PeriodicalId":238993,"journal":{"name":"ISPA 2005.

We introduce a multi-scale surface representation that enables sophisticated editing functionality at different approximation levels, using the concept of scale-space. The key issue is the interconnection between successive levels in the hierarchy. We use a fairing operator-a geometric low-pass filter to generate successively smoother approximation levels of a given input surface, and use a decomposition operator to encode each level relative to the next smoother level using normal displacements to ensure intuitive detail preservation. As a result, users can edit the surface at different approximation levels to perform coarse-scale edits on the whole model as well as very localized modifications on the surface detail.","PeriodicalId":238993,"journal":{"name":"ISPA 2005.

There are 7 images per subject including views presenting fight rotations and facial expressions. The HK algorithm, based in the signs of the mean and Gaussian curvatures, has been used for region segmentation. Experiments under controlled and non-controlled acquisition conditions, considering pose variations and facial expressions, have been achieved to analyze the robustness of the selected characteristics. Success recognition results of 82.0% and 90.16% were obtained when the images are frontal views with neutral expression using PCA and SVM, respectively.

The key idea in this approach is to design the prototype filter in such a manner that it provides a properly optimized tradeoff between the inter-symbol and inter-channel interferences for CMTs without directly concentrating on designing the prototype filter according to any predetermined criteria. In order to generate a very fast technique for testing this approach, the windowing technique is used for optimizing the prototype filter and the window function is a generalized Blackman window in the sense that this window function has the fourth additional term. Using this windowing approach results in a very fast unconstrained optimization problem with only three unknowns involved for optimally determining the above-mentioned tradeoff for a CMT, independently of the order of the prototype filter and the number of channel of the CMT. Several exampled are included showing that CMTs with very good properties can be achieved very quickly by using the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":238993,"journal":{"name":"ISPA 2005.

The structure is composed of lowpass and bandpass subfilters which are designed as linear phase, equiripple passband and computationally efficient FIR filters. The frequency response of the subfilters are modeled using trigonometric functions of frequency and the design yields closed form expressions for the impulse response coefficients of the subfilters. The slopes at the edges of the transition region of the subfilter are matched which makes the frequency response a continuous function of frequency and hence reduces the effects due to Gibb's phenomenon thereby reducing passband edge ripple of the subfilters. The bandpass filter eliminates one masking filter and a model filter from the basic FRM approach thereby simplifying the synthesis of the proposed modified FRM FIR filter.","PeriodicalId":238993,"journal":{"name":"ISPA 2005.
