In this paper, this challenging task of FR in degraded conditions have been handled using a Bag-of-Words (BOW) based approach for FR, combined with Domain Adaptation (DA). An adaptive-SIFT feature, extracted with spatially varying density at the fiducial points on the face. The SIFT features are used to form the dictionary of BOW and then combined with Local Binary Patterns (LBP). The sampling of the keypoints is denser in the discriminative parts of the face, while it is sparsely sampled at some less-interesting (pre-decided) zones of the face. An unsupervised method of DA has been used to boost the performance of FR using a BOW-based face representation. The unsupervised method of DA considers the source domain as the Training set and the target domain as the Test set. The novelty and contribution of this work on FR for surveillance applications, is the estimation of the transformation from source to target, based on the eigen-vectors of the source and the target domains using the discriminative BOW-based representation which combines two discriminative features extracted from the face. Performance analysis of the proposed method using ROC and CMC measures along with retrieval results on two real-world surveillance face datasets, shows the superiority over recent state-of-the-art techniques.","PeriodicalId":289647,"journal":{"name":"Indo-Japan Conference on Perception and Machine Intelligence","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126603102","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}

Each face is decomposed using discrete Contourlet transform up to fourth level and coefficients of high frequency and low frequency components with varied scales and angles are obtained. Logarithmic invariant moments of directional coefficients at different levels and histogram analysis are used to build the feature vectors for classification. To reduce dimension of the feature vectors, directional subbands are selected by analyzing the entropy of the feature vectors. Support Vector Machine (SVM) is applied to classify different expressions using the proposed method.

These stored information are basically known as memory. Over the years Electroencephalography (EEG) signals have been used quite efficiently to evaluate the cognitive state of brain. In this paper, we aim to study the cognitive functioning of the brain when a user memorizes and then recognizes an object from a list of similar ones. For this purpose, we have employed wavelet transform to extract the relevant features pertaining to the two mental activities and support vector machine to distinguish between the two states. The classification accuracy, thus obtained, is above 79% for all subjects. It is also inferred from this study that during memorization the signals from the frontal and temporal lobes are dominant and during recognition, signals from the frontal and parietal lobes are dominant.","PeriodicalId":289647,"journal":{"name":"Indo-Japan Conference on Perception and Machine Intelligence","volume":"10 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132765212","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 Dynamic Programming (DP) in case of IDSC and Earth Movers Distance (EMD) metric in case of LBP were respectively employed to obtain similarity and hence used to classify given query shape based on maximum similarity value. The experiments are conducted on publicly available shape datasets namely MPEG-7, Kimia-99, Kimia-216, Myth and Tools-2D and the results are presented by means of Bulls eye score and precision-recall metric.

The features developed by Mel filtering of MODGDF spectrum are called Modified Group Delay Cepstral Coefficients (MGDCC). The paper demonstrates two types of fusion strategies, viz., score-level and feature-level. The experimental results show that overall performance is improved by 3 % if a score-level fusion is employed between MFCC and MGDCC and 19.78 % by feature-level fusion in terms of % Equal Error Rate (EER).

The process is mainly divided into 2 steps; saliency map computation and image compression on the basis of salient regions. The idea is that the regions which are less blurred should be more salient rather than blurred regions. For saliency computation the proposed method first obtains the blur information for the image using frequency information. Then we generate saliency map by region combining on the basis of this blur index. These saliency values are used to vary the quality parameter over the blocks in the image for JPEG compression. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme yields good results over normal JPEG compresssion in terms of PSNR values.","PeriodicalId":289647,"journal":{"name":"Indo-Japan Conference on Perception and Machine Intelligence","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131883482","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}

For pose invariant face detection, cascaded structure of Haar-like features along with adaboost classification has been used in this paper. The detected face image forms the input for DoF identification and poses estimation. The identification of DoF involves the classification of pose as Roll, Pitch and Yaw orientations. The DoF is identified by using proposed optimized Haar-like features and random forest classifier. For pose estimation, Haar based descriptor is constructed to have an efficient estimation of the angle of rotation in Roll, Pitch and Yaw. Haar based descriptor with weighted voting algorithm gives the final estimate of pose.

We propose a method which first includes defocusing factor in the input image semi-automatically and then estimates depth from focus cue. We also used motion parallax as another monocular depth cue and evaluate the performance of final depth map. Gradient Magnitude Similarity Deviation which is a highly efficient perceptual quality index is used for the performance evaluation of final depth map.
