The color-to-grayscale image conversion is the important pre-processing step which must incorporate the significant and discriminative contrast and structure information in the converted grayscale images as in the original color image. All the existing techniques for color-to-grayscale image conversion preserves the significant contrast and structure information in the converted grayscale images in different manners. Hence, the present work is to analyze the significant and discriminative contrast and structure information preserved in the converted grayscale images using two different decolorization techniques called rgb2gray and singular value decomposition based color-to-grayscale image conversion (SVD) applied in the color image classification systems using the three different proposed features. The three different features for color image classification systems are proposed based on the combination of the existing dense SIFT features and the contrast & structure content computed using color-to-gray structure similarity index (C2G-SSIM) metric.","PeriodicalId":268112,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications (ICSIPA)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127155850","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}

However, learning dynamic and temporal features in 3D scale features in videos remains an open problem. In this study, we proposed a novel technique 3D-scale Convolutional Neural Network (3DS-CNN), based on the decomposition of 3D feature maps into 2D spatio and 2D temporal feature representations. Extensive experiments on hundreds of video scene were demonstrated on publicly available crowd datasets. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations indicate that the proposed model display superior performance when compared to baseline approaches.

Automated soccer video analysis is a challenging due to involvement of more actors and rapid movements of players and camera. It is necessary first to detect various events of the video precisely before analyzing and labeling them. This paper proposes frame based approach for the automatic demarcation of events of the soccer video. However this task is very challenging due to variety of soccer leagues, various illumination and ground conditions. To overcome such issues we propose method which is invariant to such conditions and can successfully demarcate the soccer events. We exploit optical flow techniques to measure the motion. We introduce change in optical flow to extract the behavior of an event over the video span. Later, adaptive threshold is computed based on change in optical flow. We conducted number of simulations with variety of videos to validate the method. Proposed method achieves nearly 90% of accuracy and found robust in spite of illumination variation.","PeriodicalId":268112,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications (ICSIPA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126018869","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, images are pre-processed: denoised using Block-Matching and 3-Dimension (BM3D) filtering and cropped through image boundary extraction. Later, features are extracted using CNN of AlexNet and finally images are classified using SVM classifier. The results are evaluated using 8-fold cross-validation. The experiments show that denoised and cropped images lead to better classification performances, exceeding previous other recent published works of 96% accuracy.","PeriodicalId":268112,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications (ICSIPA)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115865626","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}

This method is based on mutual coherence minimization of the measurement matrix associated with the OFDM system pilot subcarriers. It is known that if the set of pilot pattern is a Cyclic Difference Set (CDS), the mutual coherence of the measurement matrix is minimized. However, CDS in most practical OFDM system is not available. Few research efforts have tackled the problem of pilot allocation by proposing methods that lead to suboptimal solutions in order to ignore the computationally complex exhaustive search method. This contribution, however, proposes two pilot allocation design schemes for the construction of deterministic partial Fourier matrices satisfying the Restricted Isometry Property (RIP) namely, the Generic Random Search (GRS) and Progressive Search (PS) based on bounding the mutual coherence between different columns of the measurement matrix. Simulation results show that the two proposed pilot allocation design schemes are effective and offer a better channel estimation performance in terms of MSE when compared to former pilot allocation design methods.","PeriodicalId":268112,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications (ICSIPA)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134276449","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}

We evaluate the performance of both algorithms considering real channel characteristics of human body. One of the major challenge in RSSI based VCE localization is the shadow fading and multi-path propagation effects of non-homogeneous medium of human body for which the measured RSSI is highly random resulting in high localization error. Again, due to the complex environment of experiment, accurate estimation of the channel parameters is quite difficult. We evaluate the performance of both algorithms in presence of randomness in path loss and estimation errors in channel parameters. To address the randomness issue, we estimate the smoothed path loss using moving averaging filter. Then, we introduce 10–50% errors in channel parameters to analyze the performance of both algorithms. We develop a simulation tool using MATLAB to visualize the results and to compare the performance. We observe significant improvement in performance by applying moving averaging method of smoothed path loss estimation using both algorithms. We also observe that the accuracy of distance based WCL decreases significantly in presence of errors in channel parameters. Whereas path loss based WCL is robust to the errors in channel parameters as it estimates the positions by using the estimated path loss directly without prior precise knowledge of channel parameters.","PeriodicalId":268112,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications (ICSIPA)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125287123","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}
