This paper presents a hybrid method for face detection to these problems. The algorithm starts with image resizing process followed by the Gaussian Mixture Model to calculate the skin likelihood value of pixel in an image. Then, the skin regions are extracted from the background with a proper threshold value obtained adaptively based on image information. This study developed an algorithm to performed face location and detection. This study used face database from University of Ljubljana (Slovenia) Computer Vision Laboratory (CVL), which contains seven 2D images corresponding to 114 different individuals, to evaluate the proposed system. The resolution of the images is 640*480 pixels. Another database, the Bao database which consists of 157 images with image resolutions within 57×85 pixels and 300 × 300 pixels is chosen. The detection accuracy for frontal face and side face images on CVL database is 94.4% and 84.7% respectively.

The proposed illumination normalization technique fuses the merits of color (Red, Green and Blue) normalization (Nrgb) and gamma correction (GC) for color images. By the fusion of these methods the image becomes independent of the change in face images due to illumination direction. In that way, the presence of false edges in gradient faces is reduced. Experimental results on Georgia Tech Face database with illumination problem shows that the proposed technique improved significantly recognition accuracy in comparison to histogram equalization (HE), logarithm transform (LT) and gamma correction (GC).","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130214466","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 objectives of this research are to a) study the edge detection criteria and b) measure the PSNR values in estimating the noise between the original iris feature and new iris template. The eye image with [320×280] dimension is obtained from the CASIA database which has been pre-processed through the segmentation and normalization in obtaining the rubber sheet model with [20×240] in dimension. Once it has been produced, the important information is extracted from the iris. Results show that, the PSNR values of iris feature before and after the process of extraction, was 24.93 and 9.12.

This type of detector offer various advantages compare to the conventional photomultiplier tubes (PMTs). SiPM are smaller in size and thus consumes less space. Several researches have been conducted using SiPM for image acquisition in the field of medical imaging. The aim of this research is to model the intrinsic resolution of a scintillation camera using SiPM detector. Experiments are conducted to determine the optimum distance between the light source and the SiPM detector to obtain an intrinsic resolution of 3.7 mm. The resolution is base on previous research using Toshiba GCA 7100A platform with Sodium Iodide (NaI) scintillator (40 × 40 × 0.9525 cm3). Results revealed that the SiPM needs to be placed at a distance of 14.36 mm from the light source to represent the scintillation camera intrinsic resolution. It is concluded that the SiPM detector can be used to model the current scintillation camera intrinsic resolution and have a huge potential to replace the current photomultiplier tube detector.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129981366","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}

Since phase information is not represented, the cross TFD (XTFD) is proposed to analyze phase shift keying (PSK) signals by providing localized phase information. However, the phase estimation does not yield desirable performances as the time-frequency representation is interfered by duplicated terms. The problem is solved by the proposed XTFD which uses an adaptive window to remove the duplicated term. The local and global adaptive algorithms are proposed to estimate the window width. It is shown that both algorithms meet the theoretical limit at a minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 5dB. At lower SNR, the local adaptive method outperforms the global adaptive method at the expense of higher number of computation.","PeriodicalId":440373,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Signal and Image Processing Applications","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130113137","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}
