Feature extraction using orthogonal discriminant local tangent space alignment

A novel algorithm called orthogonal discriminant local tangent space alignment (O-DLTSA) is proposed for supervised feature extraction. Derived from local tangent space alignment (LTSA), O-DLTSA not only inherits the advantages of LTSA which uses local tangent space as a representation of the local geometry so as to preserve the local structure, but also makes full use of class information and orthogonal subspace to improve discriminant power. The experimental results of applying O-DLTSA to standard face databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

Multi-scale patch-based sparse appearance model for robust object tracking

When objects undergo large pose change, illumination variation or partial occlusion, most existing visual tracking algorithms tend to drift away from targets and even fail to track them. To address the issue, in this paper we propose a multi-scale patch-based appearance model with sparse representation and provide an efficient scheme involving the collaboration between multi-scale patches encoded by sparse coefficients. The key idea of our method is to model the appearance of an object by different scale patches, which are represented by sparse coefficients with different scale dictionaries. The model exploits both partial and spatial information of targets based on multi-scale patches. Afterwards, a similarity score of one candidate target is input into a particle filter framework to estimate the target state sequentially over time in visual tracking. Additionally, to decrease the visual drift caused by frequently updating model, we present a novel two-step object tracking method which exploits both the ground truth information of the target labeled in the first frame and the target obtained online with the multi-scale patch information. Experiments on some publicly available benchmarks of video sequences showed that the similarity involving complementary information can locate targets more accurately and the proposed tracker is more robust and effective than others.

改进型LOG算子在偏振片绝对角度中的应用

光学成像系统自身通常都具有一定的偏振效应,严重影响仪器偏振测量精度,而提高仪器中偏振片绝对角度精度能提高偏振定标精度,对校正光学系统自身的偏振特性具有重要的意义。对偏振片直线透光轴Raw图像高精度边缘定位和直线检测是偏振片绝对角度计算的关键步骤。针对传统LOG算子各向同性及虚假边缘与边缘定位精度相矛盾的缺陷,提出改进型一阶导阈值旋转式椭圆对称LOG算子。该算子不仅保留了经典LOG算子的优点,还具有对不同角度的边缘更加有效地进行检测,在保持边缘定位精度下,减少虚假边缘的特点。在处理得到的边缘二值图像上,进行直线检测求出偏振片绝对角度,通过对比分析最小二乘法线性拟合和霍夫变换的直线检测效果,得出霍夫变换能精确计算出偏振片绝对角度。实验证明改进型LOG算子与霍夫变换相结合提高了偏振片绝对角度测量精度,对偏振定标精度具有很大的提高。

A HMM-based Mandarin Chinese Singing Voice Synthesis System

We propose a mandarin Chinese singing voice synthesis system, in which hidden Markov model (HMM)-based speech synthesis technique is used. A mandarin Chinese singing voice corpus is recorded and musical contextual features are well designed for training. F0 and spectrum of singing voice are simultaneously modeled with context-dependent HMMs. There is a new problem, F0 of singing voice is always sparse because of large amount of context, i.e., tempo and pitch of note, key, time signature and etc. So the features hardly ever appeared in the training data cannot be well obtained. To address this problem, difference between F0 of singing voice and that of musical score (DF0) is modeled by a single Viterbi training. To overcome the over-smoothing of the generated F0 contour, syllable level F0 model based on discrete cosine transforms (DCT) is applied, F0 contour is generated by integrating two-level statistical models. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system outperforms the baseline system in both objective and subjective evaluations. The proposed system can generate a more natural F0 contour. Furthermore, the syllable level F0 model can make singing voice more expressive.
