In this context, several features have been tested. Only relevant ones are selected thanks to ANOVA tests. Next, they were decorrelated using principal component analysis. To select fear, emotion classification based on machine learning methods is used to extract fear from other emotions. Many classification tools are used and compared. We considered two types of emotion classification which highlights the fear emotion state, a simple classification as well as an hierarchical one. Results show that selected pitch-based features have a relatively great power in fear recognition. In fact, the highest accuracy rate reaches 78.7% using k-nearest neighbors algorithm.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124518717","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 approach is composed by two complementary steps: feature extraction and recognition. For the feature extraction step, we adopt a statistical modeling of the ISAR image in the complex wavelet domain. For doing so, we apply the dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) for each ISAR image in the database. After that, the relative phases of the resulting complex coefficients are computed. These relative phases are after statistically modeled using the Von Mises distribution. The estimated statistical parameters compose the feature vector of the ISAR images. Regarding to the recognition rate, the constructed feature vector is fed into the sparse representation based classification (SRC). More precisely, the training feature vectors are used as the atoms of a dictionary. The test feature vector is recognized according to its sparse linear combination with the dictionary. Extensive experiments and comparisons with other methods on ISAR images database demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126157608","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 GMM model is transformed into a binary vector that is used by a shuffling scheme to generate a cancelable template and to guarantee the cancelabilty of the overall system. Leveraging the shuffling scheme, the speaker model can be revoked and another model can be reissued. Our proposed method enables the generation of multiple cancelable speaker templates from the same biometric modality that cannot be linked to the same user. The proposed system is evaluated on the RSR2015 databases.

In this paper, we focus on the representation and interpretation of satellite images using ontologies. We develop a light ontology representing the content of RS images. We use in the ontological development process three resources: a domain-related corpus, existing geographic ontologies, and the lexical thesaurus WordNet.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123453460","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}

An accurate delineation of the tumor is necessary for the tumor progress evaluation and medical treatment efficacy assessment. in addition, a precise limitation of the tumor is mandatory in surgical and Radio Therapies. Manual segmentation methods have been always used and require radiologist intervention and could be also used as reference. our attention was for the benefits to extract from the semi-Automatic segmentation Methods and the Fully Automatic segmentation Methods, and this would yield a real complementarity giving hence one complete and rich convivial clinical aided tool.

Two phenomena are taken into account; (i) decrease by absorption within the different tissues governed by absorption coefficients; (ii) reflection or transmittance in interface between tissues that is governed by the refractive indexes. Rays travel generally long distance before exiting the medium, leading to long running time. To reduce it, we develop a model to predict the average ray effect. Moreover, as hyper-spectral simulations are useful, a new MC weighted sampling is proposed to simulate close wavelengths using the same tracing. Alike, multi-angular measurements are simulated together based on ray origin progressive forget.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129760925","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}

Prostate cancer early detection could be hence so necessary in order to confirm the existence of a tumor. It was traditionally based on conventional methods as DRE (Digital Rectal Examination), dosing Prostatic Specific Antigen (PSA) and biopsy. However, these techniques often suffer from lack of specificity, could be invasive, or linked to non-cancerous pathologies. To overcome these difficulties, it was necessary to use imaging techniques that can estimate the position, the volume, and the tumor aggressiveness. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has emerged as a promising technique for the prostate cancer diagnosis in terms of detection and localization thanks to an excellent tissue contrast. Multi-parametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRImp) was considered as a reference for detection, localization and evaluation of tumor aggressiveness. This was therefore a promising research domain to diagnose and to quickly adapt a patient monitoring. In addition, its localization capabilities help other treatment techniques, allowing local treatment of the tumor and no longer systematically resort to total removal of the gland. Computer Assisted Detection and Diagnosis systems (CAD) are intended to assist the radiologist in making decisions. We present in this paper a comparison study between the most recent CAD systems in order to clarify usefulness as well as to propose an emerging methodology for implementation that could certainly help clinicians during their diagnosis. Such a proposition was hence forth implemented and tested as one preliminary research in this promoting domain.","PeriodicalId":332253,"journal":{"name":"2018 4th International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Signal and Image Processing (ATSIP)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131662400","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}
