In order to detect an arbitrary shape of wrinkles, we represent them as a set of line segments, where each segment is characterized by its length and orientation. We propose a probability density of wrinkle model which exploits local edge profile and geometric properties of wrinkles. To optimize the probability density of wrinkle model, we employ reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler with delayed rejection. Experimental results demonstrate that the new algorithm detects facial wrinkles more accurately than a recent state-of-the-art method.","PeriodicalId":6856,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"36 1","pages":"1391-1394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83302716","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 proposed metric is based on geodesics in the shape space. Using this distance, we formulate a variational setting to estimate intrinsic mean shape viewed as the perfect pattern to represent a set of given shapes. By applying a geodesic-based shape warping, we generate a principal component analysis (PCA) able to capture nonlinear shape variability. Indeed, the proposed approach better reflects the main modes of variability of the data. Therefore, characterizing dominant modes of individual shape variations is conducted well through the reconstruction process.

On the one hand this multi-loop approach offers a reasonable rate-distortion performance while only minimal modifications to the encoder and decoder in both layers are required. On the other hand this approach requires full reconstruction of all pictures of all layers at the decoder side which, in the case of quality scalability with two layers, doubles the decoder complexity. In this paper high layer modifications to the prediction structure similar to the scalable extension of H.264 - AVC are implemented in SHVC and studied. These modifications allow for an enhancement layer decoder implementation to skip a significant amount of motion compensation and deblocking operations in the base layer. It is shown that the decoder complexity can hereby be reduced up to 55% for the random access configuration and up to 64% for the low delay configuration compared to SHVC. An overall coding performance increase of 1.2% when decoding the enhancement layer is reported while when only decoding the base layer a drift can be observed between -0.16 dB for random access and -0.39 dB for low delay.","PeriodicalId":6856,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"364 1","pages":"3729-3733"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75439338","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 ill-posed problem is often regularized by imposing a certain constraining model on the solution. However, it enforces the source distribution to follow a pre-assumed spatial structure that does not always match the spatio-temporal changes of current sources. We propose a Bayesian approach for 3D current source estimation that consists of a continuous combination of multiple models, each reflecting a specific spatial property for current sources. Multiple models are incorporated into our Bayesian approach as an Lp-norm prior for current sources, where p is an unknown hyperparameter with prior probabilistic distribution defined over the range between 1 and 2. The current source estimation is then obtained as an optimally weighted combination of solutions across all models, the weight being determined from posterior distribution of p inferred from electrocardiography data. The performance of our proposed approach is assessed in a set of synthetic and real-data experiments on human heart-torso models. While the use of fixed models such as L1- and L2-norm only properly recovers sources with specific spatial structures, our method delivers consistent performance in reconstructing sources with different extents and structures.","PeriodicalId":6856,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"51 1","pages":"3522-3526"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75760980","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 model is based on the assumption that an image can be approximated by a product of true intensities and a bias field. Unlike the existing methods, where the true intensities are represented as a linear combination of characteristic functions of segmentation regions, we employ L0 gradient minimization to enforce a piecewise constant solution. We introduce a new neighbor term into the Mumford-Shah model to allow the true intensity of a pixel to be influenced by its immediate neighborhood. A two-stage segmentation method is applied to the proposed Mumford-Shah model. In the first stage, both the true intensities and bias field are obtained while the segmentation is done using the K-means clustering method in the second stage. Comparisons with the two-stage Mumford-Shah model show the advantages of our method in its ability in segmenting images with intensity inhomogeneity.","PeriodicalId":6856,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"252 1","pages":"6-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75825772","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}
