In Strata I, the keypoints from gallery and probe iris images are paired using traditional SIFT approach. Due to high image similarity at different regions of i...

PaFiMoCS: Particle Filtered Modified-CS and Applications in Visual Tracking across Illumination Change
cs.CV
We study the problem of tracking (causally estimating) a time sequence of sparse spatial signals with changing sparsity patterns, as well as other unknown states, from a sequence of nonlinear observations corrupted by (possibly) non-Gaussian noise. In many applications, particularly those in visual tracking, the unknow...

A novel processing pipeline for optical multi-touch surfaces
cs.CV
In this thesis a new approach for touch detection on optical multi-touch devices is proposed that exploits the fact that the camera images reveal not only the actual touch points but also objects above the screen such as the hand or arm of a user. The touch processing relies on the Maximally Stable Extremal Regions alg...

Causal graph-based video segmentation
cs.CV
Numerous approaches in image processing and computer vision are making use of super-pixels as a pre-processing step. Among the different methods producing such over-segmentation of an image, the graph-based approach of Felzenszwalb and Huttenlocher is broadly employed. One of its interesting properties is that the regi...

A Factorized Variational Technique for Phase Unwrapping in Markov Random Fields
cs.CV
Some types of medical and topographic imaging device produce images in which the pixel values are "phase-wrapped", i.e. measured modulus a known scalar. Phase unwrapping can be viewed as the problem of inferring the number of shifts between each and every pair of neighboring pixels, subject to an a priori preference fo...

Clustering Learning for Robotic Vision
cs.CV
We present the clustering learning technique applied to multi-layer feedforward deep neural networks. We show that this unsupervised learning technique can compute network filters with only a few minutes and a much reduced set of parameters. The goal of this paper is to promote the technique for general-purpose robotic...

Wavelet-based Scale Saliency
cs.CV
Both pixel-based scale saliency (PSS) and basis project methods focus on multiscale analysis of data content and structure. Their theoretical relations and practical combination are previously discussed. However, no models have ever been proposed for calculating scale saliency on basis-projected descriptors since then....

Recurrent Online Clustering as a Spatio-Temporal Feature Extractor in DeSTIN
cs.CV
This paper presents a basic enhancement to the DeSTIN deep learning architecture by replacing the explicitly calculated transition tables that are used to capture temporal features with a simpler, more scalable mechanism. This mechanism uses feedback of state information to cluster over a space comprised of both the sp...

A Geometric Descriptor for Cell-Division Detection
cs.CV
We describe a method for cell-division detection based on a geometric-driven descriptor that can be represented as a 5-layers processing network, based mainly on wavelet filtering and a test for mirror symmetry between pairs of pixels. After the centroids of the descriptors are computed for a sequence of frames, the tw...

Complexity of Representation and Inference in Compositional Models with Part Sharing
cs.CV
This paper describes serial and parallel compositional models of multiple objects with part sharing. Objects are built by part-subpart compositions and expressed in terms of a hierarchical dictionary of object parts. These parts are represented on lattices of decreasing sizes which yield an executive summary descriptio...

Indoor Semantic Segmentation using depth information
cs.CV
This work addresses multi-class segmentation of indoor scenes with RGB-D inputs. While this area of research has gained much attention recently, most works still rely on hand-crafted features. In contrast, we apply a multiscale convolutional network to learn features directly from the images and the depth information. ...

Gradient Driven Learning for Pooling in Visual Pipeline Feature Extraction Models
cs.CV
Hyper-parameter selection remains a daunting task when building a pattern recognition architecture which performs well, particularly in recently constructed visual pipeline models for feature extraction. We re-formulate pooling in an existing pipeline as a function of adjustable pooling map weight parameters and propos...

Multiscale Discriminant Saliency for Visual Attention
cs.CV
The bottom-up saliency, an early stage of humans' visual attention, can be considered as a binary classification problem between center and surround classes. Discriminant power of features for the classification is measured as mutual information between features and two classes distribution. The estimated discrepancy o...

Multiple models of Bayesian networks applied to offline recognition of Arabic handwritten city names
cs.CV
In this paper we address the problem of offline Arabic handwriting word recognition. Off-line recognition of handwritten words is a difficult task due to the high variability and uncertainty of human writing. The majority of the recent systems are constrained by the size of the lexicon to deal with and the number of wr...
