One difficulty lies in that the learning procedure is split into two independent phases (dimension reduction and clustering) and thus results in the loss of discriminative information which clustering requires. Besides, traditional used principal component analysis is not optimized for class separability and may not help to improve data separation. In this paper, we propose a novel optimization framework which unifies dimension reduction and clustering. In contrast to previous methods, our method enables to dynamically select indispensable and crucial dimensions for building a discriminative codebook. We add metric learning before clustering to provide the clustering method with an optimized distance metric. Experimental results show that our approach constructs a highly discriminative codebook and achieves comparable results to other state-of-the-art approaches.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"145 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127573230","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}

Firstly, the model is partitioned into some sub-meshes according to their properties of appearance, such as texture, normal, etc. Thus, the correlation between sub-meshes can be decreased. Then, we calculate the error metric for the edge collapse in each sub-mesh. Lastly, we merge the simplified sub-meshes and fix the gap among them to regain an integrated mesh. Because the properties of appearance are used to separate the high-frequency details from low-frequency ones, our approach decreases the loss of the detailed. Therefore, we can not only keep the over whole contours of the model, but also maintain better geometric and appearance details. The results of experiments demonstrate our mesh segmentation based method is effective.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121200167","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}

To cope with those challenges, a texture-based approach is proposed, which exploits the fact that different kinds of textures have distinct orientation distributions. The orientation information is extracted using the Auto-Correlation Function (ACF). The approach is applied to three different manuscripts, namely to Glagolitic manuscripts of the 11th century, a Latin and a composite Latin-German manuscript, both originating from the 14th century. The evaluation is based on manually labeled ground truth and shows the accuracy of the features chosen even when the method is applied to document pages that are different in writing style and line spacing to those in the training set.","PeriodicalId":348792,"journal":{"name":"2010 16th International Conference on Virtual Systems and Multimedia","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129602869","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}
