Natural image matting is a task to estimate fractional opacity of foreground layer from an image. Many matting methods have been proposed, and most of them are trimap-based. Among these methods, closed-form matting offers both trimap-based and scribble-based matting. However, the closed-form method causes significant errors at background-hole regions due to over-smoothing. In this paper, we identify...
Ubiquitous projection is the recent effort that tries to close the gap between the physical world and the virtual world by using a mobile projector. Using a projector and camera together has a conflict of preferred light conditions, making it difficult to implement a robust visual detector while retaining ubiquity. In this paper, we focus on techniques of visual object detection for a portable projector-camera...
Many machine learning tasks can be achieved by using Multiple-instance learning (MIL) when the target features are ambiguous. As a general MIL framework, Diverse Density (DD) provides a way to learn those ambiguous features by maxmising the DD estimator, and the maximum of DD estimator is called a concept. However, modeling and finding multiple concepts is often difficult especially without prior...
The acceleration of an existing linear feature detection algorithm for 2D images using GPUs is discussed. The two most time consuming components of this process are implemented on the GPU, namely, linear feature detection using dual-peak directional non-maximum suppression, and a gap filling process that joins disconnected feature masks to rectify false negatives. Multiple steps or image filters in...
This paper presents an empirical study of multi-label classification methods, and gives suggestions for multi-label classification that are effective for automatic image annotation applications. The study shows that triple random ensemble multi-label classification algorithm (TREMLC) outperforms among its counterparts, especially on scene image dataset. Multi-label k-nearest neighbor (ML-kNN) and...
The following topics are dealt with: digital image computing; object recognition; image retrieval; medical imaging; biometric; object detection; object tracking; stereo video processing; facial expression; face recognition; video surveillance; sparse representation; multiview geometry; statistical pattern recognition; and learning.
Text data in an image present useful information for annotation, indexing and structuring of images. The gathered information from images can be applied for devices for impaired people, navigation, tourist assistance or georeferencing business. In this paper we propose a novel algorithm for text detection and localization from outdoor/indoor images which is robust against different font size, style,...
The automatic extraction of contour lines and generation of digital elevation models (DEMs) from topographic maps is one of the challenging subjects mostly because of aliasing, false colors, closely spaced lines and other features causing intersection or overlapping. In this paper we present an algorithm to extract contour lines from colored images of scanned topographic maps. In our approach, we...
Facial expression is one way humans convey their emotional states. Accurate recognition of facial expressions via image analysis plays a vital role in perceptual human-computer interaction, robotics and online games. This paper focuses on recognising the smiling from the neutral facial expression. We propose a face alignment method to address the localisation error in existing face detection methods...
