On the assumption that a person's face is likely to appear when his/her name is mentioned in the caption, first all the faces associated with the query name are selected. Among these faces, there could be many faces corresponding to the queried person in different conditions, poses and times, but there could also be other faces corresponding to other people in the caption or some non-face images due to the errors in the face detection method used. However, in most cases, the number of corresponding faces of the queried person will be large, and these faces will be more similar to each other than to others. When the similarities of faces are represented in a graph structure, the set of most similar faces will be the densest component in the graph.

The algorithm uses the epipolar criterion to segment the features belonging to the independently moving objects. Once the features are segmented, the corresponding objects are reconstructed individually by using a sequential algorithm, which is also capable prioritizing the frame pairs with respect to their reliability and information content, thus achieving a fast and accurate reconstruction through efficient processing of the available data. A tracker is utilized to increase the baseline distance between views and to improve the F-matrix estimation, which is beneficial to both the segmentation and the 3D structure estimation processes.

The face information is provided as 480times640 gray-level images with 3D scene depth data. Range data is used to eliminate the background data from the face. The proposed facial landmarking algorithm uses a coarse-to-fine searching algorithm. In coarse level the images are downsampled to 80times60 pixels resolution. Both in coarse and fine levels SVM classifiers are trained using the DCT coefficients extracted from the manually landmarked training data. Coarse level candidate facial points are searched within the whole face image.

Here, two main problems are studied: The first one is the issue of selecting proper model parameters that are fitted to GPS data. Note that, at this step, some critical preprocessing issues are also addressed. The second issue is to assess the noise characteristics of the GPS residual signal which is very critical for accurate estimation of the parameters. It is assumed that GPS residual signals consist of time independent white noise and time-dependent colored noise components. Here, we propose a wavelet based method to estimate the amount of mixture of white and colored noise portions, plus the self-similarity index of the colored noise. Our proposed method is tested on the synthetic data and giving promising results. Later, a total of 60 GPS recordings from 20 stations are analyzed by this promising method. It is shown that the colored noise portions in the GPS residual signals can be modeled by so-called the flicker noise with the self similarity index of approximately \"1\"","PeriodicalId":415037,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE 14th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127836498","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}
