Automatically recognising facial emotions has drawn increasing attention in computer vision. Facial landmark based methods are one of the most widely used approaches to perform this task. However, these approaches do not provide good performance. Thus, researchers usually tend to combine more information such as textural and audio information to increase the recognition rate. In this paper we propose...
In this paper, we extend the nearest convex hull classifier to Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) manifolds. SPD manifold features have been shown to have excellent performance in various image/video classification tasks. Unfortunately, SPD manifolds naturally possess non-Euclidean geometry, so existing Euclidean machineries such as the nearest convex hull classifier cannot be used directly. To that...
Microscope examination of Gram stained clinical specimens is used for aiding the diagnosis of patients with infectious diseases. In high volume pathology laboratories, this manual microscopy examination is considered time consuming and labour intensive. Unfortunately, despite the great benefits offered from the application of Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems, to our knowledge, the highest automation...
There has been an ongoing effort in improving reliability and consistency of pathology test results due to their critical role in making an accurate diagnosis. One way to do this is by applying image-based Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems. This paper proposes a comprehensive benchmarking platform comprising over 1,000 images to evaluate CAD systems for the Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) test via...
Recent advances suggest that encoding images through Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) matrices and then interpreting such matrices as points on Riemannian manifolds can lead to increased classification performance. Taking into account manifold geometry is typically done via (1) embedding the manifolds in tangent spaces, or (2) embedding into Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces (RKHS). While embedding...
A convenient way of analysing Riemannian manifolds is to embed them in Euclidean spaces, with the embedding typically obtained by flattening the manifold via tangent spaces. This general approach is not free of drawbacks. For example, only distances between points to the tangent pole are equal to true geodesic distances. This is restrictive and may lead to inaccurate modelling. Instead of using tangent...
