Exploiting the characteristics of image itself in the frequency domain and the correlation between successive frames, the model regards the video frame in low quality as the first side information in the process of coding, and generates the second side information for the non-key frames using motion estimation and compensation technology at its decoding end. Performance analysis and simulation experiments show that the RDCVS-DSI model can rebuild the video sequence with high fidelity in the consumption of quite low complexity.

Recently, much work has shown that feature selection can be formulated as nonlinear dimensionality reduction with discrete constraints. This line of research emphasizes utilizing the manifold learning techniques, where feature selection and learning can be studied based on the manifold assumption in data distribution. Many existing feature selection methods such as Laplacian score, SPEC (spectrum decomposition of graph Laplacian), TR (trace ratio) criterion, MSFS (multi-cluster feature selection) and EVSC (eigenvalue sensitive criterion) apply the basic properties of graph Laplacian, and select the optimal feature subsets which best preserve the manifold structure defined on the graph Laplacian. In this paper, we propose a new feature selection perspective from locally linear embedding (LLE), which is another popular manifold learning method. The main difficulty of using LLE for feature selection is that its optimization involves quadratic programming and eigenvalue decomposition, both of which are continuous procedures and different from discrete feature selection. We prove that the LLE objective can be decomposed with respect to data dimensionalities in the subset selection problem, which also facilitates constructing better coordinates from data using the principal component analysis (PCA) technique. Based on these results, we propose a novel unsupervised feature selection algorithm, called locally linear selection (LLS), to select a feature subset representing the underlying data manifold. The local relationship among samples is computed from the LLE formulation, which is then used to estimate the contribution of each individual feature to the underlying manifold structure. These contributions, represented as LLS scores, are ranked and selected as the candidate solution to feature selection. We further develop a locally linear rotation-selection (LLRS) algorithm which extends LLS to identify the optimal coordinate subset from a new space. Experimental results on real-world datasets show that our method can be more effective than Laplacian eigenmap based feature selection methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35798,"journal":{"name":"自动化学报","volume":"40 10","pages":"Pages 2253-2261"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1874-1029(14)60362-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56927993","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 previous interest point detectors are designed to detect some special image structures such as corners, junctions, line terminations and so on. These detectors based on some simplified 2D feature models will not work for image features that differ significantly from the models. In this paper, a scale invariant interest point detector, which is appropriate for most types of image features, is proposed based on an iterative method in the Gabor based energy space. It detects interest points by noting that there are some similarities in the phase domain for all types of image features, which are obtained by different detectors respectively. Firstly, this approach obtains the positions of candidate points by detecting the local maxima of a series of energy maps constructed by Gabor filter responses. Secondly, an iterative algorithm is adopted to select the corresponding characteristic scales and accurately locate the interest points simultaneously in the Gabor based energy space. Finally, in order to improve the real-time performance of the approach, a fast implementation of Gabor function is used to accelerate the process of energy space construction. Experiments show that this approach has a broader applicability than the other detectors and has a good performance under rotation and some other image changes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":35798,"journal":{"name":"自动化学报","volume":"40 10","pages":"Pages 2356-2363"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1874-1029(14)60364-5","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"56928298","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}
