As a generalization of the two-dimensional Fourier transform (2D FT) and 2D fractional Fourier transform, the 2D nonseparable linear canonical transform (2D NsLCT) is useful in optics, signal and image processing. To reduce the digital implementation complexity of the 2D NsLCT, some previous works decomposed the 2D NsL...

Discrete Gyrator Transforms: Computational Algorithms and Applications
cs.CV
As an extension of the 2D fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) and a special case of the 2D linear canonical transform (LCT), the gyrator transform was introduced to produce rotations in twisted space/spatial-frequency planes. It is a useful tool in optics, signal processing and image processing. In this paper, we devel...

Two-pixel polarimetric camera by compressive sensing
cs.CV
We propose an original concept of compressive sensing (CS) polarimetric imaging based on a digital micro-mirror (DMD) array and two single-pixel detectors. The polarimetric sensitivity of the proposed setup is due to an experimental imperfection of reflecting mirrors which is exploited here to form an original reconstr...

Data preprocessing methods for robust Fourier ptychographic microscopy
cs.CV
Fourier ptychographic microscopy (FPM) is a recently proposed computational imaging technique with both high resolution and wide field-of-view. In current FP experimental setup, the dark-field images with high-angle illuminations are easily submerged by stray light and background noise due to the low signal-to-noise ra...

Using Transfer Learning for Image-Based Cassava Disease Detection
cs.CV
Cassava is the third largest source of carbohydrates for human food in the world but is vulnerable to virus diseases, which threaten to destabilize food security in sub-Saharan Africa. Novel methods of cassava disease detection are needed to support improved control which will prevent this crisis. Image recognition off...

Multiband NFC for High-Throughput Wireless Computer Vision Sensor Network
cs.NI
Vision sensors lie in the heart of computer vision. In many computer vision applications, such as AR/VR, non-contacting near-field communication (NFC) with high throughput is required to transfer information to algorithms. In this work, we proposed a novel NFC system which utilizes multiple frequency bands to achieve h...

Large-scale Multiview 3D Hand Pose Dataset
cs.HC
Accurate hand pose estimation at joint level has several uses on human-robot interaction, user interfacing and virtual reality applications. Yet, it currently is not a solved problem. The novel deep learning techniques could make a great improvement on this matter but they need a huge amount of annotated data. The hand...

Monocular Visual Odometry for an Unmanned Sea-Surface Vehicle
cs.CV
We tackle the problem of localizing an autonomous sea-surface vehicle in river estuarine areas using monocular camera and angular velocity input from an inertial sensor. Our method is challenged by two prominent drawbacks associated with the environment, which are typically not present in standard visual simultaneous l...

Recognizing Abnormal Heart Sounds Using Deep Learning
cs.SD
The work presented here applies deep learning to the task of automated cardiac auscultation, i.e. recognizing abnormalities in heart sounds. We describe an automated heart sound classification algorithm that combines the use of time-frequency heat map representations with a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). Give...

LabelFusion: A Pipeline for Generating Ground Truth Labels for Real RGBD Data of Cluttered Scenes
cs.CV
Deep neural network (DNN) architectures have been shown to outperform traditional pipelines for object segmentation and pose estimation using RGBD data, but the performance of these DNN pipelines is directly tied to how representative the training data is of the true data. Hence a key requirement for employing these me...

Hybrid PS-V Technique: A Novel Sensor Fusion Approach for Fast Mobile Eye-Tracking with Sensor-Shift Aware Correction
cs.CV
This paper introduces and evaluates a hybrid technique that fuses efficiently the eye-tracking principles of photosensor oculography (PSOG) and video oculography (VOG). The main concept of this novel approach is to use a few fast and power-economic photosensors as the core mechanism for performing high speed eye-tracki...

Photosensor Oculography: Survey and Parametric Analysis of Designs using Model-Based Simulation
cs.CV
This paper presents a renewed overview of photosensor oculography (PSOG), an eye-tracking technique based on the principle of using simple photosensors to measure the amount of reflected (usually infrared) light when the eye rotates. Photosensor oculography can provide measurements with high precision, low latency and ...

Coresets for Triangulation
cs.CG
Multiple-view triangulation by $\ell_{\infty}$ minimisation has become established in computer vision. State-of-the-art $\ell_{\infty}$ triangulation algorithms exploit the quasiconvexity of the cost function to derive iterative update rules that deliver the global minimum. Such algorithms, however, can be computationa...

Cloud computing is an important part of today's world because offloading computations is a method to reduce costs. In this paper, we investigate computing the Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) using Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE). Performing SURF in FHE enables a method to offload the computations while maintaining...

On Finding Maximum Cardinality Subset of Vectors with a Constraint on Normalized Squared Length of Vectors Sum
cs.DS
In this paper, we consider the problem of finding a maximum cardinality subset of vectors, given a constraint on the normalized squared length of vectors sum. This problem is closely related to Problem 1 from (Eremeev, Kel'manov, Pyatkin, 2016). The main difference consists in swapping the constraint with the optimizat...

Shape Generation using Spatially Partitioned Point Clouds
cs.CV
We propose a method to generate 3D shapes using point clouds. Given a point-cloud representation of a 3D shape, our method builds a kd-tree to spatially partition the points. This orders them consistently across all shapes, resulting in reasonably good correspondences across all shapes. We then use PCA analysis to deri...
