Tensors are a suitable way of mathematically representing multilink relations. Another, complementary structure that captures the aforementioned high-order relations is the hypergraph. More specifically, three different matrices are derived from the hypergraph, namely, the incidence, adjacency, and affinity matrices. The just mentioned matrices are used to create slices of a novel tensor structure, which combines users' and images' relations. Four methods are exploited to decompose the tensor, i.e., the Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD), the Canonical Decomposition/Parallel Factor Analysis (CANDECOMP/ PARAFAC, CP), the Non-negative Tensor Factor Analysis (NTF), and Tucker Decomposition (TD). Experiments conducted on a dataset retrieved from Flickr demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":299846,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130490305","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}

With the recent wide availability of remote sensing data, there is demand for an automatic process of extracting runway geometry from satellite imagery. In particular, Very High Resolution (VHR) data makes it feasible to extract a runway's area precisely. In this paper we establish a novel method for accurate and precise extraction of geometric polygons for an arbitrary number of runways in VHR remote sensing imagery. Validated results are demonstrated for a dataset of twelve images of six different airports, at 61 cm resolution from the QuickBird II satellite.","PeriodicalId":299846,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125116731","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 key idea of this paper is the clustering of the shape displacements into classes, in order to group the residual deformations in a coherent direction according to the image. We combine this approach by employing the implicitly encoded constraints and the double cascade pattern defined in the “Explicit Shape Regression”. We proceed with adjustments adapted for the context of human body. Hence, we reformulate a regression problem into a classification of displacements. We show through our experiments that obtaining minimal classification errors leads effectively to faster and more accurate regression results. We enhance this classification process by conjointly transforming residual displacements and images to train our classifiers.","PeriodicalId":299846,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129309580","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 paper presents a method to reduce the effect of environmental illumination for face recognition with near infrared (NIR) imaging systems. The camera response function that maps the image irradiance to image brightness is estimated via principal component analysis with pairs of facial images taken under different lighting conditions. The inverse of camera response function is used to map two facial images of a subject taken with and without frontal NIR lighting under ambient light. The irradiance of facial image with frontal NIR lighting in the absence of ambient light is estimated using the inverse camera response function. Then the brightness image with only the frontal NIR lighting is obtained from the irradiance to be used for face recognition. Since the brightness images are used by face recognition system when there is no ambient light, the same face recognition algorithm and database can be used without any modification. The proposed method is a pre-processing method and does not require additional hardware. Performance is evaluated and compared to existing methods at various false matching rates. The proposed method can enhance the performance of face recognition in the presence of ambient light at false matching rates at which practical biometric authentication systems operate.","PeriodicalId":299846,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA)","volume":"99 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130972135","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}

Target applications include the quantitative analysis of lesions or normal structures within cutaneous and superficial subcutaneous tissues. The method is based on an a non-parametric region-based cost function, the Hellinger distance, which is related to the Bhattacharyya coefficient. The choice of this as a cost function allows the discrimination of different tissues using the statistics of the signal. Unlike other methods, it is also applicable when tissues are heterogenous. Moreover, the choice of a nonparametric method lends itself to a multigrid approach, which allows significant gains of speed, a critical property for 3D images. We show examples of segmentation of tumors and dermis in both realistic simulated images and clinical images from the Dermcup 25MHz skin probe (Atys Medical).","PeriodicalId":299846,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA)","volume":"34 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132048566","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}

Here, the genre is related to the place of origin of the song. The CCA learns a linear transformation of the song lyrics descriptors that is highly correlated with their genre labels as well as another linear transformation of the audio features extracted from music recordings, which is maximally correlated with their genre labels. In the latter task, thanks to the deep CCA (DCCA), deep nonlinear transformations of the audio features are learnt, which are maximally correlated with the genre labels. Experimental findings are disclosed for a two-class genre recognition problem, employing folk songs originated from Pontus and Asia Minor. It is demonstrated that the CCA achieves an average accuracy of 97.02% across the 5 folds, when the term frequency-inverse document frequency features model the song lyrics. By modeling the music signal of each song with 28 mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) extracted from each frame and averaged over all frames, the average accuracy of the CCA drops to 72.9% across the 5 folds. The DCCA yields an accuracy of 69% for audio-based genre recognition.","PeriodicalId":299846,"journal":{"name":"2015 9th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114726316","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}
