Several works for page layout analysis have been presented but there is no standard annotation for one document. In order to draw the relationship between these different presentations, a Mapping should be applied between different annotations. The question that should be answered is how efficient is this Mapping? We present in this paper a framework allowing the generation of a standard annotation for each document database. The description of the page layout analysis is based on XML metadata. The Mapping is applied between the standard document and a new document in order to allow the correspondence between them. The Mapping is evaluated using a proposed model based on Markov models. The results show that the probability rate for the Mapping evaluation varies from 0.6 to 1.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117143747","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 spread spectrum approach to near infrared diffusive optical imaging is implemented: a pseudo-random sequence is used to modulate the light before entering a turbid medium; when the coded sequence propagates through the tissue, it is split into a group of components that have different path lengths. The correlation of the detected signals with the sequence can pick up each component with a specific delay, with the consequence of obtaining time domain information of arriving replicas. We propose to improve that approach, adopting a code division multiple access technology. A module which is expected to enhance the performances in terms of measured time and SNR is presented. We called this technique Wavelength and Space Code Division Multiplexing (WS-CDM).","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"194 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114192945","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 Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) Filter is a promising solution but cannot be implemented exactly. Suboptimal implementation techniques include Gaussian Mixture (GM) solutions, which hold only in linear and Gaussian models, and Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithms, which estimate the number of targets and their state parameters for a more general class of models. In this paper, we address the case of Gaussian models where the state can be decomposed into a linear component and a non-linear one, and we show that the use of SMC methods in such models can indeed be reduced. Our technique not only improves the estimate of the number of targets but also that of their state. We finally adapt the technique to linear and Gaussian jump Markov state space systems (JMSS) in order to reduce the intractability of existing solutions, and to JMSS with partially linear and partially non-linear state vector.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"368 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114379528","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}

As for normalization of modulation spectra, spectral histogram equalization (SHE) seems to be one of the most effective techniques that have been used to compensate the nonlinear distortion. In this paper, we investigate a novel use of polynomial-fitting techniques for modulation histogram equalization, which has the advantages of lower storage and time consumption when compared with the conventional SHE methods. Further, we also investigated the possibility of combining our approach with other temporal feature normalization methods. The automatic speech recognition (ASR) experiments were carried out on the Aurora-2 standard noise-robust ASR task. The performance of the proposed approach was thoroughly tested and verified by comparisons with the other popular modulation spectrum normalization methods, which suggests the utility of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125124171","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}

Significant variations in both color and texture spaces are the main reasons that lead to oversegmentation. We exploit Affine Invariant Region Detectors to mark regions with high variations in both color and texture spaces. The results are then utilized to reduce the oversegmentation rate of image segmentation algorithms. The performance of the proposed framework is evaluated in decreasing the oversegmentation rate of the well-known Mean Shift method. In conjunction with the proposed framework, we have applied some optimizations on the Mean Shift method to reduce the processing time. In comparison with the original Mean Shift, our experimental results show a twofold speedup and improved segmentation quality.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124005078","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 innovations of this work are double fold: 1) a particle filtering (PF) approach is developed to track the position of an acoustic source; and 2) based on the source motion and wave propagation models, the posterior Cramér-Rao bound (PCRB) is derived to provide a lower performance bound of 3-D position tracking in shallow ocean. The PF approach uses a number of samples to approximate the posterior distribution of interested parameters, by which a complex 3-D search can be avoided for 3-D position estimation. Also, due to incorporating both the source dynamic and measurement information, the tracking approach is able to provide a lower performance bound than the traditional localization approach. The tracking performance is further demonstrated by numerical experiments.","PeriodicalId":248763,"journal":{"name":"2012 11th International Conference on Information Science, Signal Processing and their Applications (ISSPA)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121690856","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}
