一种混合特征的人脸识别算法仿真研究

研究人脸识别优化问题,人脸图像受光照、人脸表情和位置变化等因素影响,由于图像具有复杂的多尺度特征,传统人脸识别算法只能提提取局部或全局特征,不能准确描述人脸图像,导致人脸识别率低。为了提高人脸识别率,提出一种小波分解和LBP算子相结合的人脸识别算法(WTLBP)。WTLBP首先利用小波变换对人脸图像进行分解,将人脸图像分解成大尺度和小尺度图像,然后采用LBP算子提取人脸图像的多尺度特征,最后采用概率统计法对人脸进行匹配识别。对ORL人脸库进行仿真,结果表明,WTLBP能够提取到人脸图像更加丰富的局部和全局信息,对光照、人脸表情和位置变化具有较高的鲁棒性,提高了人脸识别率。     

典型相关分析融合全局和局部特征的人脸识别

为了提高人脸的识别率,提出一种典型相关分析融合全局和局部特征的人脸识别算法（SUB-CCA）。通过划分子模式方式避免人脸识别存在小样本、非线性问题,并提取局部特征,采用主成分分析提取人脸图像的全局特征,并采用相关分析算法对全局、局总特征进行融合,消除特征间冗余信息,降低特征维数,采用投票法得到人脸识别结果,并采用3个人脸数据集对算法性能进行测试。仿真结果表明,相对于参比算法,SUB-CCA提高了人脸识别的识别精度。     

基于光照变换的Gabor小波人脸识别

光照变化易使人脸图像的灰度分布不均,造成局部对比度差别较大,会引起人脸识别正确率下降。为此在同态滤波的基础上,改变滤波函数,提出了高斯滤波的人脸识别方法,接着对滤波后的图像直方图均衡化,来增加图像的灰度动态范围,然后对人脸图像提取Gabor小波特征,最后利用最近邻法识别人脸图像。在光照变换明显的Yale B和CMU PIE数据库识别效果最好,降低了人脸图像的特征维数,缩短了特征提取时间,有效地提高了人脸识别率。     

基于能量的自适应局部Gabor特征提取的人脸识别

为了解决传统Gabor滤波器组在人脸识别过程中特征提取时间长、计算量大的问题,从不同方向、不同尺度以及全局角度按照能量大小构建了3种不同的局部Gabor滤波器组用来提取人脸特征。首先,分析数据库中部分图像Gabor变换后的图像能量,从不同角度选出能量较大的图像构建对应的局部Gabor滤波器组; 其次,根据所选滤波器组提取局部Gabor特征; 然后,采用线性判别分析(LDA)法进一步提取Fisher特征; 最后,利用最近邻法识别人脸图像。基于ORL人脸库和YALE人脸库的实验结果表明提出的人脸识别方法降低了人脸图像的特征维数,缩短了特征提取的时间,有效地提高了人脸识别率。

复杂光照条件下的人脸识别方法

在人脸识别增加真实性的研究中,为了提高在光照条件变化时人脸图像的识别率,并加快运行速度,提出了一种基于小波变换域的光照处理与识别方法.由于光照对低频信息的影响较小,且低频信息在人脸识别中起到最主要作用,通过对人脸的低频逼近图像进行光照处理,采用局部二元模式来表征光照处理后的低频图像,将得到的局部二元模式特征作为人脸的鉴别特征用于分类与识别.根据YaleB、Extended YaleB人脸库的实验结果表明,在复杂的光照条件下识别率高达96%,与传统方法相比,取得了更好的识别结果.     

小波变换和特征加权融合的人脸识别

在人脸识别领域,提取人脸特征和降低维数是人脸识别的关键。传统的基于小波变换的人脸识别算法仅在小波分解的低频分量上提取用于分类的图像特征,造成了高频分量中部分对识别有利信息的丢失。为了更有效地提取人脸图像特征,提出一种基于小波变换和特征加权融合的人脸识别算法。首先通过小波变换对人脸图像进行降维处理,然后对4个小波子图分别运用主成分分析法(PCA)提取特征,并把这4部分特征加权融合,最后利用支持向量机(SVM)进行分类识别。在ORL人脸库上进行实验验证,识别准确率可达到97.5%,实验结果表明该算法能够有效提高人脸识别能力,与传统识别算法相比具有较高的识别准确率和识别速度。     

一种基于二次直方图距离的人脸识别方法

提出一种非约束条件下的人脸识别方法。利用Prewitte算子将人脸图像转换成特征图像以保护更多的局部信息,并将特征图像划分为多个区域特征向量表示人脸,通过调整二次直方图距离中的权系数矩阵以降低干扰因素的影响,利用改进的距离测度计算特征图像间的相似度。实验结果表明该算法与传统的识别方法相比,有一定的人脸特征描述和识别性能。     

远程人脸识别方法的研究与仿真

研究远程准确人脸识别优化问题.在远程人脸图像采集过程中存在随机性,采集的人脸图像容易发生饰物遮挡,脸部侧偏等情况,造成采集图像可识别特征残缺,针对传统的方法过于依赖局部细节特征,无法准确的识别人脸.提出一种基于特征转化的人脸识别方法,根据采集到的人脸二维特征矩阵构造奇异值矩阵,运用迭代分解方法,把不能识别的缺陷特征转化成可识别的三维人脸特征,运用三维特征配合二维特征进行识别.经实验结果表明,改进方法能够准确识别远程采集的部分、遮挡的人脸图像,取得令人满意的效果.

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。     

How do children do mathematics with LOGO?

Abstract  This paper considers some results of a study designed to investigate the kinds of mathematical activity undertaken by children (aged between 8 and 11) as they learned to program in LOGO. A model of learning modes is proposed, which attempts to describe the ways in which children used and acquired understanding of the programming/mathematical concepts involved. The remainder of the paper is concerned with discussing the validity and limitations of the model, and its implications for further research and curriculum development.
