In this paper, quadrangles in the triangle mesh are defined. We put forward a quadrangle collapse based mesh simplification algorithm which can rapidly produce high approximations of 3D models. The algorithm uses iterative collapse of quadrangle to simple models and maintains surface error approximations using quadric matrices. Three vertices and six faces are collapsed in one iteration, thereby the algorithm can rapidly generate high-quality approximations of polygonal models with minimal times of collapses than Garland's and Pan's algorithms. The experiment results demonstrate the efficiency of the new algorithm.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123856863","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}

Traditional methods seeking classification accuracy over a full range of instances are not suitable to deal with this case, since they tend to classify all samples into the majority class, usually the less important class. This paper proposed a hierarchical classification method that a simple bi-classifier with less features input made out most normal-class samples with a permitted low error rate for minority samples, then the rest less imbalanced samples were learned to establish a complicated multi-classifier with more features input. In classification after learning, two classifiers worked parallel and the simple classifier of the first layer can end the second one when normal-class result has been got. Comparative experimental results showed that this approach could effectively improve learning performance and accelerate classification speed.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116450953","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}

Gabor feature vector has been recognized as one of the most successful face representations, however, its dimension is too high for fast extraction and accurate classification. In LGFC, Local Feature Analysis (LFA) is exploited to select the most informative Gabor features (hereinafter as local Gabor features) optimally. The selected low-dimensional local Gabor features are then classified by Fisher Linear Discriminant (FLD) for final face identification. We demonstrate that Gabor representation is much more robust than gray-level intensity to image variation caused by the imprecision of facial feature localization. Comparative studies of different similarity measures to local fisher classifier and local Gabor fisher classifier are also performed. The experiments on two traditional face databases, ORL and Aberdeen, have shown that compared with other face recognition schemes, the proposed method can effectively reduce the dimensionality of Gabor features and greatly increase the recognition accuracy.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124199671","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 input is a low resolution video sequence together with a high resolution still image of similar content. Firstly, the low resolution frames are interpolated to the same spatial resolution as the reference still image. For the good properties of directional, multiscale and anisotropy, the nonsub-sampled contourlet is utilized to create the training set of transform coefficient patches from the high resolution still image. Block based motion estimation is then applied inside the complete training set to find the best matching between interpolated frame and reference still image. According to the correspondence between low frequency and high frequency pairs, the missing high frequency information of the input frame can be easily learned from the training set. Finally, an inverse contourlet transform is applied to the interpolated frame and supplement high frequency subbands to recover the super-resolved image. Preliminary experimental results on video frames show that the proposed super- resolution algorithm outperforms conventional spatial interpolation methods and wavelet based interpolation algorithm both in visual quality and the PSNR value.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126863719","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 process comprises two fundamental steps, repeated until the input data has been exhausted. These steps in our method, are spatial sampling of the input scene and search for fitting planes. In the first step, the geometry of the objects in the input scene is sampled using measures of optic flow. Then, we find a set of planes that fit the approximate sampled geometry obtained in the first step. Under this hybrid reconstruction, texture mapping can be employed to deterministic ally identify coincident rays from different view points and thus achieve high quality rendering, with taking full advantages of the acceleration utility of graphics.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131880115","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}
