A new method for linear feature and junction enhancement in 2D images based on morphological operation,oriented anisotropic Gaussian function and Hessian information

Feature enhancement is an important preprocessing step in many image processing tasks. It is the process of adjusting image intensities so that the enhanced results are more suitable for analysis. Good enhancement results for linear structures such as vessels or neurites can be used as inputs for segmentation and other operations. In this paper, a novel linear feature enhancement filter – an adaptive multi-scale morpho-Gaussian filter – which can enhance and smooth linear features is proposed based on morphological operation, anisotropic Gaussian function and Hessian information. This filter can enhance and smooth along the local orientation of the linear structures and the Hessian measurement is used to further enhance the linear features. We utilize the Hessian matrix to calculate the orientation information for our directional morphological operation and the oriented anisotropic Gaussian smoothing. We also propose a novel method for junction enhancement, which can solve the problem of junction suppression. We decompose the junctions and enhance along each linear structure within a junction region. We present the test results of our algorithm on images of different types and compare our method with three existing methods. The experimental results show that the proposed approach can achieve better results.     

Image feature detection algorithm based on the spread of Hessian source

Image feature detection can be obtained from many methods including the feature point detection. This paper adopts the image feature point detection method based on second-order characteristics of point and the image feature detection algorithm based on the Hessian matrix to detect more feature points. By combining the gray-scale-based image-matching technology with the feature-based image feature detection technology, we propose a Hessian algorithm to obtain more matching points, which can search for matching more quickly. The proposed algorithm overcomes the traditional matching methods that have Ergodic properties of the search strategy. Experiments demonstrate the speed and accuracy of the proposed algorithm, and we use the correct detected feature points to realize image registration, image fusion and image stitching.

3D shape recognition based on multi-modal information fusion

The classification and retrieval of 3D models have been widely used in the field of multimedia and computer vision. With the rapid development of computer graphics, different algorithms corresponding to different representations of 3D models have achieved the best performance. The advances in deep learning also encourage various deep models for 3D feature representation. For multi-view, point cloud, and PANORAMA-view, different models have shown significant performance on 3D shape classification. However, There’s not a way to consider utilizing the fusion information of multi-modal for 3D shape classification. In our opinion, We propose a novel multi-modal information fusion method for 3D shape classification, which can fully utilize the advantage of different modal to predict the label of class. More specifically, the proposed can effectively fuse more modal information. it is easy to utilize in other similar applications. We have evaluated our framework on the popular dataset ModelNet40 for the classification task on 3D shape. Series experimental results and comparisons with state-of-the-art methods demonstrate the validity of our approach.

     

Objective reduction based on nonlinear correlation information entropy

It is hard to obtain the entire solution set of a many-objective optimization problem (MaOP) by multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) because of the difficulties brought by the large number of objectives. However, the redundancy of objectives exists in some problems with correlated objectives (linearly or nonlinearly). Objective reduction can be used to decrease the difficulties of some MaOPs. In this paper, we propose a novel objective reduction approach based on nonlinear correlation information entropy (NCIE). It uses the NCIE matrix to measure the linear and nonlinear correlation between objectives and a simple method to select the most conflicting objectives during the execution of MOEAs. We embed our approach into both Pareto-based and indicator-based MOEAs to analyze the impact of our reduction method on the performance of these algorithms. The results show that our approach significantly improves the performance of Pareto-based MOEAs on both reducible and irreducible MaOPs, but does not much help the performance of indicator-based MOEAs.

Pedestrian detection based on the privileged information

The pedestrian detection is always a challenging issue in the computer vision. Unlike the object recognition problem, the detection’s speed is a critical factor. In order to accelerate detection speed while maintaining competitive accuracy, in this paper we introduce a new model: twin support vector machine based on privileged information (called TSVMPI, in this paper) (Qi et al. in Neurocomputing 129:146–152, 1) to detect pedestrian. TSVMPI uses two nonparallel hyperplane classifiers to decide the label of an unknown sample and is superior to the standard SVM, especially in the linear kernel case, resulting in a significant advantage to deal with the special task. All experimental results demonstrate our strategy’s effectiveness and show that the privileged information indeed offers a significant improvement for the pedestrian detection.

A parallel algorithm for detection of linear structures in satellite images

To enhance linear structures in a gray level image, local operations with an additive score are normally used. Here a multiplicative score is used instead which gives better results than the additive one. The problem of segmenting the image of the multiplicative score is then dealt with where the threshold value can be automatically selected. The experimental results on some satellite images are reported.

An asymmetry algorithm based on parameter transformation for Hessian matrix

An asymmetry algorithm recognition model, which is presented based on Hessian matrix transform by adjusting the diagonal parameter of Hessian matrix and which does not change the positive semi-definite characteristic, increases or decreases the distance between positive class or negative class and hyperplane on the asymmetry sample set and realizes our intention for separating the small samples more precisely. The experiment indicates that we cannot simply fix the diagonal parameter of Hessian matrix but must dynamically adjust the diagonal weight coefficient for controlling the number of error-divided samples. This modified asymmetry learning algorithm is more superior than the traditional standard SVM method and can recognize DNA sequence and its mean recognition rate comes to 93.3%.
