In this paper, we propose a new segmentation algorithm that combines a graph-based shape model with image cues based on boosted features. The landmark-based shape model encodes prior constraints through the normalized Euclidean distances between pairs of control points, alleviating the need of a large database for the training. Moreover, the graph topology is deduced from the dataset using manifold...
Questioned document examination is extensively used by forensic specialists for criminal identification. This paper presents a writer recognition system based on allographic features operating in identification mode (one-to-many). It works at the level of isolated characters, considering that each writer uses a reduced number of shapes for each one. Individual characters of a writer are manually segmented...
In this paper, we present a graph cut application dealing with MRI brain image segmentation. We here propose another emerging approach of region segmentation based on graph cut which supports on the eigenspace characteristics and the perceptual grouping properties to classify brain tumoral tissue. Image segmentation is considered as solving the partitioning clustering problem by extracting the global...
When objects in images are small or blurred enough, geometric features are inadequate for reliable pattern recognition. We introduce the Pattern Recognition by Cluster Accumulation (PRCA) method to show that pattern recognition performance can be improved in this situation by using radiometric features for object detection. In addition, PRCA uses clustering to provide feature selection and dimensionality...
In this paper we present a new video object trajectory clustering algorithm, which allows us to model and analyse the patterns of object behaviors based on the extracted features using tensor analysis. The proposed algorithm consists of three steps as follows: extraction of trajectory features by tensor analysis, non-parametric probabilistic mean shift clustering and clustering correction. The performance...
Clustering for better representation of the diversity of text or image search results has been studied extensively. In this paper, we extend this methodology to the novel domain of music search. We conduct empirical evaluation of different clustering algorithms, audio feature representations, and the incorporation of lyrics for music clustering. Our evaluation shows the fusion of audio and text features...
Feature selection is an important problem for pattern classification systems. There are many methods for feature selection available, in which the feature selection method based on mutual information proposed by authors of Ref.[13] is one of the more effective approaches. However, it is often difficult to compute the mutual information for the continuous data whether using discretization strategy...
Most recent facial expressions recognition systems only work well with frontal face images. However, subjects do not always face front. With this in mind, we propose in this paper a method for pose-robust facial expressions recognition. Active appearance models (AAMs) are used for face tracking to extract pose-robust facial feature points. However, AAM has accuracy problems with face tracking when...
