We first employ one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) feature selection to select the most informative voxels. Then, we form meshes around selected voxels with their spatial and functional neighbors by employing the Mesh Model with Temporal Measurements (MM-TM). We estimate the arc weights of meshes, which represent the relationships among voxels within the selected neighborhood. In order to get rid of the redundant relationships, we prune the estimated mesh weights using ANOVA. By doing so, we obtain a sparse representation of discriminative information in the brain. Finally, we train k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifiers using the sparse mesh arc weights. We used fMRI recordings from a visual object recognition experiment. Our results show that employing the selected voxels in classification performs better than employing all voxels in the brain. Moreover, mesh arc weights formed around selected voxels outperform the intensity values of selected voxels. Finally, pruning the mesh arc weights leads to a slight increase in the classification performance.","PeriodicalId":427250,"journal":{"name":"2016 24th Signal Processing and Communication Application Conference (SIU)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121555171","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}

In addition, accuracy of estimation performances has been supported with theoretical lower bounds (Cramer-Rao lower bound and deterministic lower mean squared error). Considering estimation performances, compressive sampling matching pursuit yields the best results unless the signal has a non-sparse structure.","PeriodicalId":427250,"journal":{"name":"2016 24th Signal Processing and Communication Application Conference (SIU)","volume":"258 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114299811","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}

Patch clustering and sparse model selection are carried out using the magnitude and phase of the patch gradient operator. A compact dictionary pair is learned for each cluster. A low resolution patch is classified into one of the clusters using the two criteria. A high resolution patch is reconstructed using the high resolution cluster dictionary, and the spare representation coefficients of its low resolution counterpart over the low resolution cluster dictionary. This extension aims at super-resolving patches of low sharpness or poor directionality with bicubic interpolation. Accordingly, the computationally expensive sparse representation framework will only be applied on a limited portion of image patches. As a result, the super-resolution reconstruction computational complexity is significantly reduced without sacrificing the performance. Experiments conducted over natural images validate this result.","PeriodicalId":427250,"journal":{"name":"2016 24th Signal Processing and Communication Application Conference (SIU)","volume":"48 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114017440","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}

However, low cost Infrared (IR) camera sensors produce noisy images which degrades the robustness of these systems. This paper proposes a new PVI system that uses a mirror based stereo camera setup to increase the PVI robustness. The two images from the stereo setup are analyzed with a new vein extraction method that uses Support Vector Regressors (SVR). The junction points of these images are compared to find junction disparities for an added 3D biometric feature. We collected a dataset of PVI images from volunteers to validate the system and we also compared parts of the proposed system on standard datasets. The overall results are promising and we will continue testing new stereo PVI image analysis methods in the future.","PeriodicalId":427250,"journal":{"name":"2016 24th Signal Processing and Communication Application Conference (SIU)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122634321","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}
