Both in computer and human vision, the use of joint spatial/spatial-frequency (s/sf) representations in this process are suggested. The Wigner and pseudo-Wigner distributions, examples of s/sf representations, are discussed. A comparison is made between the Wigner distribution, the spectrogram, the difference-of-Gaussians representation, and the Gabor representation. Experimental results in the areas of texture segmentation and Gestalt grouping using the Wigner distribution are presented, proving the feasibility of such an approach.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133674952","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 basic idea is that to retain connectedness in the filter, the new pixel value is calculated from the values in a local, connected area. The method described is related to the well-known KNN (k-nearest neighbors) method. The filter is shown to behave better than the KNN filter in most situations. The filter is conceptually very simple, and thus simple to use. Its computing efficiency is comparable to that of the KNN filter.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130826775","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}

Although the traditional slit-ray beam projection method obtains inaccurate distance information using specular slit-ray beam or mirror image, the method proposed solves the problem and calculates not only the position vector but also the normal vector, both of which are sent to the recognition procedure. The intersection points of slit-ray beams coming from two directions are classified by using these vectors, enabling the surfaces of an object to be identified and the outlines of them to be extracted. An experimental system is described that supports the effectiveness of this method.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131529397","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 technique offers reliable detection of weak nasal formants and formants undergoing rapid transitions in frequency, areas where parametric spectral analysis typically performs poorly. Much of the recognition of speech using a feature-based approach relies heavily on the detection of formant time-frequency trajectory patterns, which gives the identification not only for the voiced speech sound currently under analysis, but also can provide important cues to pre- and postvocalic speech. The enhanced formant detection properties offered by pole focusing therefore can considerably improve the reliability of formant pattern recognition.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":314236,"journal":{"name":"[1988 Proceedings] 9th International Conference on Pattern Recognition","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128128408","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}
