Firstly, the original color visible image is transformed into a perceptually decorrelated color space in order to treat the achromatic and chromatic components separately. Then, the achromatic component and infrared image are combined by a statistical fusion method based on dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT) using the generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD). The means and variances between the fused component and the original achromatic component are matched by a linear remapping for image enhancement. At last, the color space is transformed back into the RGB color space. This method not only have a superior fusion performance but also can effectively produce a high-contrast color fused image with the similar natural characteristics as the original color visible image.","PeriodicalId":364568,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Computer Theory and Engineering","volume":"230 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133848023","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 huge development in prediction of solar radiation data, a clear disconnect in extraction and effective engineering utilization of pertinent information from such data is acting as a major roadblock towards penetration of this emerging technology. It is crucial to identify and optimize the most significant statistics representing insolation availability by a solar PV installation for all necessary engineering and financial calculation. A MATLAB program has been used to build the annual frequency distribution of hourly insolation over any module plane at a given site location. Descriptive statistical analysis of such distributions is done through MINITAB. To make the analysis more meaningful, composite frequency distribution for a Building Integrated Photo Voltaic (BIPV) set up has been considered, which is formed by weighted summation of insolation distributions for different module planes used in the installation. The most influential statistics of the composite distribution have been optimized through Artificial Neural Network Computation. This novel approach is expected to be a very powerful tool for the BIPV system designers.","PeriodicalId":364568,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Computer Theory and Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115380539","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 significantly deteriorates face recognition performance. Super-resolution techniques have been proposed in the past to mitigate this. This paper proposes the novel use of a Locality Preserving Projections (LPP) algorithm called Direct Locality Preserving Projections (DLPP) for super resolution of facial images, or ldquoface hallucinationrdquo in other words. Because DLPP doesnpsilat require any dimensionality reduction preprocessing via Principle Component Analysis (PCA), it retains more discriminating power in its feature space than LPP. Combined with non-parametric regression using a generalized regression neural network (GRNN), the proposed work can render high-resolution face image from an image of resolution as low as 8x7 with a large zoom factor of 24. The resulting technique is powerful and efficient in synthesizing faces similar to ground-truth faces. Simulation results show superior results compared to other well-known schemes.","PeriodicalId":364568,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Conference on Advanced Computer Theory and Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129675108","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}
