A one class classifier for Signal identification: a biological case study
2008
The paper describes an application of a one-class KNN to identify different signal patterns embedded in a noise structured background. The problem become harder whenever only one pattern is well represented in the signal, in such cases one class classifier techniques are more indicated. The classification phase is applied after a preprocessing phase based on a Multi Layer Model (MLM) that provides a preliminary signal segmentation in an interval feature space. The one-class KNN has been tested on synthetic data that simulate microarray data for the identification of nucleosomes and linker regions across DNA. Results have shown a good recognition rate on synthetic data for nucleosome and lin…
Extracting information from support vector machines for pattern-based classification
2014
Statistical machine learning algorithms building on patterns found by pattern mining algorithms have to cope with large solution sets and thus the high dimensionality of the feature space. Vice versa, pattern mining algorithms are frequently applied to irrelevant instances, thus causing noise in the output. Solution sets of pattern mining algorithms also typically grow with increasing input datasets. The paper proposes an approach to overcome these limitations. The approach extracts information from trained support vector machines, in particular their support vectors and their relevance according to their coefficients. It uses the support vectors along with their coefficients as input to pa…
Improving distance based image retrieval using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm
2015
Image retrieval is formulated as a multiobjective optimization problem.A multiobjective genetic algorithm is hybridized with distance based search.A parameter balances exploration (genetic search) or exploitation (nearest neighbors).Extensive comparative experimentation illustrate and assess the proposed methodology. Relevance feedback has been adopted as a standard in Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). One major difficulty that algorithms have to face is to achieve and adequate balance between the exploitation of already known areas of interest and the exploration of the feature space to find other relevant areas. In this paper, we evaluate different ways to combine two existing relevan…
Full Reference Mesh Visual Quality Assessment Using Pre-Trained Deep Network and Quality Indices
2019
In this paper, we propose an objective quality metric to evaluate the perceived visual quality of 3D meshes. Our method relies on pre-trained convolutional neural network i.e VGG to extract features from the distorted mesh and its reference. Quality indices from well-known mesh visual quality metrics are concatenated with the extracted features resulting a global feature vector. this latter is used to learn the support vector regression (SVR) to predict the final quality score. Experimental results from two subjective databases (LIRIS masking database and LIRIS/EPFL general-purpose database) and comparisons with seven objective metrics cited in the state-of-the-art demonstrate the effective…
Target tracking with dynamically adaptive correlation
2016
Abstract A reliable algorithm for target tracking based on dynamically adaptive correlation filtering is presented. The algorithm is capable of tracking with high accuracy the location of a target in an input video sequence without using an offline training process. The target is selected at the beginning of the algorithm. Afterwards, a composite correlation filter optimized for distortion tolerant pattern recognition is designed to recognize the target in the next frame. The filter is dynamically adapted to each frame using information of current and past scene observations. Results obtained with the proposed algorithm in synthetic and real-life video sequences, are analyzed and compared w…
Multi-functional Protein Clustering in PPI Networks
2008
Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks contain valuable information for the isolation of groups of proteins that participate in the same biological function. Many proteins play different roles in the cell by taking part in several processes, but isolating the different processes in which a protein is involved is often a difficult task. In this paper we present a method based on a greedy local search technique to detect functional modules in PPI graphs. The approach is conceived as a generalization of the algorithm PINCoC to generate overlapping clusters of the interaction graph in input. Due to this peculiarity, multi-facets proteins are allowed to belong to different groups correspondi…
Randomized Hough Transform for Ellipse Detection with Result Clustering
2005
Our research is focused on the development of robust machine vision algorithms for pattern recognition. We want to provide robotic systems the ability to understand more on the external real world. In this paper, we describe a method for detecting ellipses in real world images using the randomized Hough transform with result clustering. A preprocessing phase is used in which real world images are transformed - noise reduction, greyscale transform, edge detection and final binarization - in order to be processed by the actual ellipse detector. The ellipse detector filters out false ellipses that may interfere with the final results. Due to the fact that usually more "virtual" ellipses are de…
Three-dimensional object detection under arbitrary lighting conditions
2006
A novel method of 3D object recognition independent of lighting conditions is presented. The recognition model is based on a vector space representation using an orthonormal basis generated by the Lambertian reflectance functions obtained with distant light sources. Changing the lighting conditions corresponds to multiplying the elementary images by a constant factor and because of that, all possible lighting views will be elements that belong to that vector space. The recognition method proposed is based on the calculation of the angle between the vector associated with a certain illuminated 3D object and that subspace. We define the angle in terms of linear correlations to get shift and i…
Three-dimensional object recognition by Fourier transform profilometry
2008
An automatic method for three-dimensional (3-D) shape recognition is proposed. It combines the Fourier transform profilometry technique with a real-time recognition setup such as the joint transform correlator (JTC). A grating is projected onto the object surface resulting in a distorted grating pattern. Since this pattern carries information about the depth and the shape of the object, their comparison provides a method for recognizing 3-D objects in real time. A two-cycle JTC is used for this purpose. Experimental results demonstrate the theory and show the utility of the new proposed method.
SmartSpectra: Applying multispectral imaging to industrial environments
2005
SmartSpectra is a smart multispectral system for industrial, environmental, and commercial applications where the use of spectral information beyond the visible range is needed. The SmartSpectra system provides six spectral bands in the range 400-1000nm. The bands are configurable in terms of central wavelength and bandwidth by using electronic tunable filters. SmartSpectra consists of a multispectral sensor and the software that controls the system and simplifies the acquisition process. A first prototype called Autonomous Tunable Filter System is already available. This paper describes the SmartSpectra system, demonstrates its performance in the estimation of chlorophyll in plant leaves, …
