The proposed method targets a common pitfall of conventional resampling based PFs, in the sense that classical resampling is likelihood biased operation which progressively leads to particle impoverishment and ultimately degrades the estimation quality. The presented method however generates a resampled population balanced between the significant regions of both likelihood and state transition prior. The algorithm is tested with a simulated navigation scenario for UUVs using simplified motion model. Results reveal that by using only a small population size, PSR provides a lower root mean square error (RMSE) of estimation in comparison to that obtained with Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and classical resampling particle filter as well as an Exquisite Resampling algorithm. The method is also shown to be insensitive to significant simulated measurement outliers.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"39 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120917576","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}

It consists to automatically identify of human behavior and interpreting their actions. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm to recognize aggressive human behavior based on two models. The first method is based on shape representation by using bag-of-features approach and the second method is based on the skeleton graph in order to extract motion features. The feature association of the two models is carried out at each frame of atomic action. Thus, an appropriate label is assigned to each feature association vector by using an offline clustering algorithm such as k-means. The obtained feature vectors are conducted from a sequence video by using a set of labels as an optimum codebook. The aggressive behaviors are then recognized by applying a support vector machine classifier. The proposed algorithm enables robust recognition in very challenging situations such as dynamic environment and deals well with self-occlusion problem. Experimental results are conducted on KTH dataset actions and demonstrate that the proposed approach provide significant recognition rate of 96%.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121191985","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}

As yet there has been little formal study in surveillance systems for identity tracking using gait signature over different camera views. We present a new approach for people tracking and identification between different non-intersecting un-calibrated cameras based on gait analysis. A vision-based markerless extraction method is being utilized for deriving the gait kinematics as well as anthropometric measurements in order to produce a gait signature. Given the nature of surveillance data, a parametric Fourier descriptor is being used to guide the extraction process of the legs. The novelty of our approach is motivated by the recent research for people recognition using gait. The experimental results confirm the robustness of our method to extract gait features in different scenarios with a classification rate of 92% for lateral views. Furthermore, experimental results revealed the potential of our method to work in real surveillance systems to recognize walking people over different views with achieved cross-camera recognition rates of 95% and 90% for two different views.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"429 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116992403","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 paper explores this possibility and considers knowledge discovery process acceleration. Given that knowledge is extracted from data, knowledge mining process would be similar to data mining. However, knowledge representation is more complex than data representation. Homogeneous knowledge, such as induction rules, should thus be mined first. An extension of k-means algorithm is proposed, which clusters induction rules using a new similarity measure. On the other hand, induction rules are continually and dynamically acquired, e.g. agent concept. It is more efficient for the discovery process to incrementally mine induction rules. Three incremental induction rule clustering approaches are developed. These approaches have been tested using three benchmarks, and their clustering performance has been investigated. Results are satisfactory and show from 70% to 90% of success rate.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123081090","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 assumed multipath resolving ensures that the multipath propagation scenario expected with any indoor signal propagation, is downgraded to a two-path one which inadvertently oversimplifies the underlying localization problem. In this work, we propose a full solution which consists of a pre-localization step and the actual localization task. In a previous work, we presented a pre-processing or pre-localization step which makes use of electrically-driven reflection properties of UWB signals to extract information from the reflected signals in the multipath environment; and ultimately reduce the multipath propagation scenario into a two-path one based on these extracted information. As a direct consequence, a way is paved for geometrical approaches which are usually driven by either the Time of Arrival (TOA), Angle of Arrival (AOA) and Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) position estimation method. In this work, we show that by carefully considering the inherent properties of the UWB technology, UWB based 2D indoor localization can be efficiently achieved by using just two receivers and one transmitter which contrasts current geometric approaches which require at least three receivers and one transmitter for localization.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134473903","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 speckle noise reduces the quality of images and makes their interpretation and analysis really difficult, so it's necessary to filter images to remove the noise in order to preserve as much as possible the most important features of the signal. To achieve this goal, in this paper we present an efficient method that reduces the speckle noise in SAR images, based on the Contourlet Transform (CT). The CT is a new image decomposition scheme that provides sparse representation of the data, constructed by combining two successive stages, applying in first a Laplacian pyramidal decomposition followed by a directional filter bank. This non-linear approach is designed to give a good representation of the geometrical content of the image. Recently, the Stationary version of the Contourlet Transform (SCT) has been proposed to preserve the shift-invariant property. In the present paper, we explore two different de-noising methods: the Bayesian Shrinkage based on a weighting factor that reduces noise by using the contourlet coefficients, and the Soft Thresholding based on the choice of the threshold that ensures adaptation to the noiseless signals. Hence, we present a comparative study of the results obtained through the SCT considering different stages of decomposition's levels and different kind of filters, and the Lee Adaptive Filter. A performance evaluation is realized to validate our methods.","PeriodicalId":417940,"journal":{"name":"2013 8th International Workshop on Systems, Signal Processing and their Applications (WoSSPA)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131321805","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}
