In this paper, we propose a framework on analyzing disc shapes based on a geodesic metric in an anatomical shape space. All disc shapes, containing both normal and abnormal ones, are formulated as elements in this space. The geodesic connecting these elements and other statistics are then numerically approximated. With these tools quantifying the intrinsic difference between disc shapes, the normal shapes from a dataset are unsupervisedly clustered and a statistical inference based on the learned Gaussian model is made. Experimental results show a reasonable accuracy of classifying normal and abnormal intervertebral discs.","PeriodicalId":277974,"journal":{"name":"2011 Sixth International Conference on Image and Graphics","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115475151","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}

To combine the different contribution to face recognition, this paper proposes a weighted LBP histogram based on Weber's law. Firstly, inspired by psychological Weber's law, intensity of local micro-pattern is defined by the ratio between two terms: one is relative intensity differences of a central pixel against its neighbors, the other is intensity of local central pixel. Secondly, regarding the intensity of local micro-pattern as its weight, the weighted LBP histogram is constructed with the defined weight. Finally, to make full use of the space location information and lessen the complexity of recognition, the partitioning and uniform patterns are applied to get final features. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the methods based on traditional LBP.","PeriodicalId":277974,"journal":{"name":"2011 Sixth International Conference on Image and Graphics","volume":"306 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123476877","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}

Thus, it is necessary to design a quality assessment system to select the best frame from the input video sequence before face recognition or saving it to database. In this paper we present a scoring evaluation system based on five features including sharpness, brightness, resolution, head pose and expression. Firstly, the score of each feature is computed independently, and then the final quality score is obtained by combining the scores of five features with weights. Center for Biometrics and Security Research (CBSR) Near Infrared Face Dataset is used to test the system.

It provides a fundamental mathematical tool for invariant analysis of the radial orthogonal moments since Jacobi-Fourier moments are the generic expressions of radial orthogonal moments.

Various requirements and preferences, for example, lower EER, or smaller FRR, may be imposed on biometric authentication systems in different application scenarios.
