Such a system establishes the identity corresponding to the input image (probe) by comparing the probe template against the templates of all identities enrolled in the database. Both identification error rate and response time increases with the increase in the number of enrollees. One way to reduce the response time is to retrieve a small set of candidate identity templates from the database against which matching of probe template is performed by techniques that are fast to establish the identity. In this paper we propose such a technique by combining finger geometry and palm print modalities. The proposed approach is tested on database collected at our institute. With the proposed approach 94.44 % reduction in the search space is achieved with identification accuracy of 100%.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"556 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115231648","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}

In this paper, a blurred image reconstruction algorithm, which is a combination of the Richardson-Lucy (RL) deconvolution approach and a pyramid structure, is proposed. The RL approach has good performance in image reconstruction. However, it requires an iterative process, which costs a lot of computation time, and the reconstructed image may suffer from a ringing effect. In the proposed algorithm, we decompose a blurred image from a coarse scale to a fine scale and progressively utilize the RL approach with different number of iterations for each scale. Since the number of iterations is smaller for the large scale part, the computation time can be reduced and the ringing effect caused from details can be avoided. Simulation results show that our proposed algorithm requires less computation time and has good performance in blurred image reconstruction.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121088813","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}

Existing VAD algorithms have shown unsatisfied performance under nonstationary noise and low Signal-to-Noise-Ratio (SNR) situations. Motivated by the fact that people is able to distinguish the speech and non-speech even in low SNR situations, this paper studies the VAD technique from the pattern recognition point of view, where the VAD essentially is formulated as a binary classification problem. Specifically, the VAD is implemented by classifying the speech signal into speech and non-speech segments. The radial basis function (RBF) based support vector machine (SVM) is employed with supervised manner, which is perfectly suitable for binary classification tasks with some training samples. Aiming at achieving improved accuracy and robustness of the VAD technique to noise, the feature selection has been conducted by introducing the class separation measure (CSM) criterion to evaluate the capability of the feature vectors extracted for classifying speech and non-speech segments. Most famous speech features have been taken into account, including Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC), the principal component analysis of the MFCC (PCA-MFCC), linear predictive coding (LPC) and linear predictive cepstral coding (LPCC). Intensive experimental results show that the MFCC features capture the most relevant information of speech and keep good separability of classification in different noisy conditions, so do the PCA-MFCC features. Moreover, the PCA-MFCC features are more robust to the noise with less computational cost. As a result, a VAD method by using the PCA-MFCC and the RBF-SVM as the classifier has been developed, which is termed as PCA-SVM-VAD for short. The experimental results with the NOIZEUS database show that the proposed PCA-SVM-VAD method has clear improvements over other VAD methods and performs much more robust in car noisy environment at various SNRs.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125119662","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}

In particular, we focused on the investigation of the left and right (LR) image mismatch that might be one of the most important quality factors in the stereoscopic viewing. In order to measure how severely this factor influences the visual comfort and overall quality, we conducted a series of subjective assessment experiments on the visual comfort and viewing preference. In the subjective experiments, we compared the stereo view synthesis results of three different hole filling methods, because incorrectly filled holes could cause severe mismatches between the left- and right-view images. The subjective results revealed that the LR image mismatch could induce more visual discomfort and lower overall quality of stereoscopic images. Also, the results indicated that the visual comfort and overall quality were able to be improved by considering the inter-view consistency in multi-view stereo generation.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130608248","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}

Information about the movement patterns of detecting objects would best be concatenated into a single image. It contracts browsing time and reduces spatio-temporal redundancy, while perpetuating the nub of the clip content and the impression of motion. In this paper, we introduce a system for summarizing movements of multiple objects across a single camera. However, this is not a trivial task. There arise issues of trajectory representation without motion ambiguity and excessive occlusion. This paper addresses some of these concerns and above all presents an approach that helps the viewer to have a more automated summary of the general content of the clip. We address fully automated reference frame selection and frame removal for a productive video clip summary and handle many difficult examples involving interacting objects.

Now, TCF is a basic physical quantity, that has already been applied to numerous fields. To the best of our knowledge, statistical properties of TCF have not been well studied until now. After defining TCF, this paper gives a new insight into it by studying its statistical properties, where its probability density functions (p.d.f.s) for different types of signals are given. Finally, TCF is applied to detect howling frequency, where we show how to choose the delay time in a best way for practical considerations. There are two benefits by using TCF in howling detection. First, its computation is extremely low. Second, the detection threshold can be easily chosen since TCF is a normalized measurement. Experimental results show the validity of TCF in detecting howling frequency.","PeriodicalId":301856,"journal":{"name":"2014 19th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130099770","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}
