In the case of motion estimation, we selected and evaluated two techniques: Pyramidal Lucas-Kanade optical flow and integral projections, using SAD and SSD as methods for comparison between the signatures. The system was implemented in OpenCV and their outputs were a video achieved the final compensation of the input video, and statistical measures of mean and standard deviation of the motion estimation between frames. The final algorithm can be implemented in real time due to its low computational cost and can be used as a pre-procesing method to acquired visual information from snake robot.","PeriodicalId":359994,"journal":{"name":"Symposium of Signals, Images and Artificial Vision - 2013: STSIVA - 2013","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115960075","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}

Despite, the epilepsy have been widely studied, its detection in incipient states is still in development. In order to solve this problem using EEG signals, a rigorous classification process have to be made. One-class classifiers are employed due their high performance under unbalanced classes and the lack of available target data from the biosignals but there are several aspects to consider like kernel parameter and the rejection rate parameter related with computational cost and performarce-stability respectively. In this paper it is proposed a methodology to improve the performance of a classification system using a optimized one-class classifer by means authomatic tuning algorithms. The Support vector data descriptor and mixture of Gaussians are used, and their performance and stability are compared, in order to determine the best one-class classifier. To increase the performance, stability and convergency time of the classifiers, the free parameters are optimized by particle swarm optimization(PSO). Using this approach, the sensitivity and specificity have been improve over the 95%. The methodology is tested with a database that correspond to 29 patients with medically intractable focal epilepsies. They were recorded by the Department of Epileptology of the University of Bonn, by means of intracranially implanted electrodes. It provides a new approach in epilepsy detection using EEG signals.","PeriodicalId":359994,"journal":{"name":"Symposium of Signals, Images and Artificial Vision - 2013: STSIVA - 2013","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133104895","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}

Physical phenomena present absorption, scattering and interference. Temporal and spatial changes of subjective speckle pattern of the fruit have been measured in thirty samples each two seconds for a total analysis time of one minute. Using the above technique the cross-correlation coefficients of speckle pattern have been calculated. The cross-correlation coefficient change subject to the bruising in section fruit. Significant changes of cross-correlation coefficient values were observed in struck sections of fruit regard to sections not struck from the same. This work concluded that variance the cross-correlation coefficient is higher in struck sections of fruit regard to sections not struck from the same, that rapid analysis of samples in short time data acquisition can be used for quality control in fruit, impact detection not appreciated by visual inspection and others.","PeriodicalId":359994,"journal":{"name":"Symposium of Signals, Images and Artificial Vision - 2013: STSIVA - 2013","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126190955","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 second is a multimodal visualization in which a set of image prototypes surround a semantic tag cloud. Thus, we built a system prototype in order to evaluate the strategies. Results show that the propose strategy is promising and it could be used in a real image exploration system to improve the image collection exploration process.","PeriodicalId":359994,"journal":{"name":"Symposium of Signals, Images and Artificial Vision - 2013: STSIVA - 2013","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121083029","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}

Recently, a new optical imaging architecture called Coded Aperture Snapshot Spectral Imaging (CASSI) has emerged. The CASSI emulates the role of a spectrometer insomuch that it captures spectral information but uses coded apertures to take 2D compressed measurements from a 3D scene. Subsequently, an optimization algorithm is used to recover the full 3D spectral image from the measurements. However, in some applications is required to recover just a few selected set of spectral information. Then, compressive spectral selectivity aims to recover a specific set of spectral bands of interest. This work extends the capabilities of CASSI by replacing the traditional block-unblock coded apertures for a grayscale valued coded aperture. Further, the structures of the gray scale-valued coded apertures are designed such that a specific set of selected bands is reconstructed with high quality. A forward model and its corresponding reconstruction method are presented allowing to recover the desired bands, exclusively. Simulations are performed obtaining reconstructions exhibiting PSNRs of up to 30 dB.","PeriodicalId":359994,"journal":{"name":"Symposium of Signals, Images and Artificial Vision - 2013: STSIVA - 2013","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126304802","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 research community has addressed the problem of the automatic detection of PD by means of noise measures; however, in such works only the phonation of the English vowel /a/ has been considered. In this paper, the five Spanish vowels uttered by 50 people with PD and 50 healthy controls (HC) are evaluated automatically considering a set of four noise measures: Harmonics to Noise Ratio (HNR), Normalized Noise Energy (NNE), Cepstral HNR (CHNR) and Glottal to Noise Excitation Ratio (GNE). The decision on whether a speech recording is from a person with PD or from a HC is taken by a K nearest neighbors (k-NN) classifier, finding an accuracy of 66.57% when only the vowel /i/ is considered.","PeriodicalId":359994,"journal":{"name":"Symposium of Signals, Images and Artificial Vision - 2013: STSIVA - 2013","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114818195","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}
