Finding mines in Sonar imagery is a significant problem with a great deal of relevance for seafaring military and commercial endeavors. Unfortunately, the lack of enormous Sonar image data sets has prevented automatic target recognition (ATR) algorithms from some of the same advances seen in other computer vision fields. Namely, the boom in convolutional neural nets (CNNs) which have been able to...
Support vector data description (SVDD) is a popular technique for detecting anomalies. The SVDD classifier partitions the whole space into an inlier region, which consists of the region near the training data, and an outlier region, which consists of points away from the training data. The computation of the SVDD classifier requires a kernel function, and the Gaussian kernel is a common choice for...
Identification of the correct medicinal plants that goes in to the preparation of a medicine is very important in ayurvedic medicinal industry. The main features required to identify a medicinal plant is its leaf shape, colour and texture. Colour and texture from both sides of the leaf contain deterministic parameters to identify the species. This paper explores feature vectors from both the front...
The frequent occurrence of road congestion and traffic accidents has affected people's travel efficiency and travel safety. Traffic sign recognition has become one of the key research objects in intelligent transportation system. This paper studies the identification of road traffic signs based on video images. First of all, collected image will be image preprocessing with image reduction, brightness...
This paper presents improvements in terms of accuracy for shape object classification using a new low complexity method compared to previous implementation [1]. The method is using echoes generated by a JAVA platform capable of emulate sound propagation in a controlled 2D virtual environment [2][3]. Echoes originate from the ultrasonic waves generated inside a virtual environment which contains geometrical...
This paper presents a multiple classifier system (MCS) to identify plants species based on the texture and shape features extracted from leaf images. A diverse pool of SVM and Neural Network classifiers is trained on four different feature sets, namely, Local Binary Pattern (LBP), Histogram of Gradients (HOG), Speed of Robust Features (SURF) and Zernike Moments (ZM). Then, a static classifier selection...
This paper presents a new discriminative learning framework to associate the relationship between the objects and the words in an image and perform template matching scheme for complex association patterns. The problem is first formulated as a bipartite graph matching problem. Thereafter, structural support vector machine (SVM) is employed to obtain the optimal compatibility function to encode the...
This paper presents a detection method of insulator stings for aerial inspection based on feature-fusion. The local sub-images of insulator strings are firstly collected from aerial videos and tagged to establish a training dataset. The fusion feature is then composed by the histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) feature and local binary pattern (LBP) feature after the principal component analysis...
Stencil computations expose a large and complex space of equivalent implementations. These computations often rely on autotuning techniques, based on iterative compilation or machine learning (ML), to achieve high performance. Iterative compilation autotuning is a challenging and time-consuming task that may be unaffordable in many scenarios. Meanwhile, traditional ML autotuning approaches exploiting...
The problem of object localization in image appear ubiquitously in computer vision applications including image classification, object detection and visual tracking. Recently, it is shown that multiple-instance learning(MIL) which is regarded as the fourth machine learning framework compared with supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforce learning has been verified that will get good...
1p/19q co-deletion is an important prognostic factor in low grade gliomas. However, determination of the 1p/19q status currently requires a biopsy. To overcome this, we investigate a radiogenomic classification using support vector machines to non-invasively predict the 1p/19q status from multimodal MRI data. Different approaches of predicting this status were compared: a direct approach which predicts...
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of irreversible blindness and loss of vision in people over 50 years old. Fluid (or cyst) regions such as intraretinal fluid (IRF), subretinal fluid (SRF), and sub-retinal pigment epithelium (sub-RPE), have different tissue appearance in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) images compared to normal retina tissue and are a defining feature of AMD...
In this paper, we propose a compact image steganalysis method for the LSB-matching steganography, in which a feature vector composed by only 12 elements is extracted from the image. We analyze the statistical artifact occurred in images when a secret data is embedded in it by the LSB-matching steganography. We selected 12 most relevant features based on the probability density function (PDF) of difference...
Plants are to be considered as one of the important things that plays a very essential role for all living beings exists on earth. But due to some unawareness and environment deterioration, some very rare plants are on the verge of extinction. Knowledge of rare leaves used for medicine and other plants is very critical in future. Leaf identification and classification plays a vital role for plant...
Recognition of fruits automatically using machine vision is considered as challenging task as fruits exist in various colors, sizes, shapes and textures. Additionally, when images are acquired of them, variation is introduced due to imaging conditions also. In this paper we have recognized nine different classes of fruits. Fruit image dataset are obtained from web as well as certain images are acquired...
Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) technology is of great significance in security inspection, while traditional object detection methods are proved not efficient in human body millimeter-wave images. In this paper, we propose a synthetic objection detection method for millimeter-wave images. We choose saliency, SIFT and HOG features to form image descriptors. According to sparse representation, the...
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease in low and middle-income countries. There are many methods of physical examinations for tuberculosis detection, but the most effective method is visual examination using microscopes, including fluorescent microscopy and bright field microscopy. However, according to the analysis of previous research work, the method based on fluorescent microscopes can yield...
Text detection is a difficult task due to the significant diversity of the texts appearing in natural scene images. In this paper, we propose a novel text descriptor, SPP-net, extracted by equipping the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with spatial pyramid pooling. We first compute the feature maps from the original text lines without any cropping or warping, and then generate the fixed-size representations...
ShapeNets is an image representation, which is based on shape, compact structure, hierarchical image structure and appearance characteristic of object contour. In a ShapeNets, the shape of image is a window of containing objects which can be extracted with the method of objectness. The outline of objects can also be extracted in a line boundary detection algorithm based on histogram of gradients direction,...
This work aims to improve the accuracy of the SVDD-based Intrusion Detection Systems. In this study we are interested by approaches using only one-class classification, namely the class of normal user sessions. Sessions are modeled by vectors of points in a finite features space. The goal of using the SVDD in anomaly detection is to find the hypersphere with a minimal volume that encloses the entire...
