Use of Support Vector Regression in Stable Trajectory Generation for Walking Humanoid Robots

This paper concerns the use of support vector regression (SVR), which is based on the kernel method for learning from examples, in identification of walking robots. To handle complex dynamics in humanoid robot and realize stable walking, this paper develops and implements two types of reference natural motions for a humanoid, namely, walking trajectories on a flat floor and on an ascending slope. Next, SVR is applied to model stable walking motions by considering these actual motions. Three kinds of kernels, namely, linear, polynomial, and radial basis function (RBF), are considered, and the results from these kernels are compared and evaluated. The results show that the SVR approach works well, and SVR with the RBF kernel function provides the best performance. Plus, it can be effectively applied to model and control a practical biped walking robot.

No-reference image quality assessment based on hybrid model

The aim of research on the no-reference image quality assessment problem is to design models that can predict the quality of distorted images consistently with human visual perception. Due to the little prior knowledge of the images, it is still a difficult problem. This paper proposes a computational algorithm based on hybrid model to automatically extract vision perception features from raw image patches. Convolutional neural network (CNN) and support vector regression (SVR) are combined for this purpose. In the hybrid model, the CNN is trained as an efficient feature extractor, and the SVR performs as the regression operator. Extensive experiments demonstrate very competitive quality prediction performance of the proposed method.     

A novel image watermarking scheme against desynchronization attacks by SVR revision

In digital image watermarking, the watermark’s vulnerability to desynchronization attacks has long been a difficult problem. On the basis of support vector regression (SVR) theory and local image characteristics, a novel image watermarking scheme against desynchronization attacks by SVR revision is proposed in this paper. First, some pixels are randomly selected and the sum and variance of their neighboring pixels are calculated; second, the sum and variance are regarded as the training features and the pixel values as the training objective; third, the appropriate kernel function is chosen and trained, a SVR training model will be obtained. Finally, the sum and variance of all pixels’ neighboring pixels are selected as input vectors, the actual output can be obtained by using the well-trained SVR, and the digital watermark can be recovered by judging the output vector. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme is invisible and robust against common signals processing such as median filtering, sharpening, noise adding, and JPEG compression, etc., and robust against desynchronization attacks such as rotation, translation, scaling, row or column removal, shearing, local random bend, etc.

Phase-Adaptive Superresolution of Mammographic Images Using Complex Wavelets

This correspondence describes a new superresolution approach for enhancing the resolution of mammographic images using complex wavelet frequency information. This method allows regions of interest of a mammographic image to be viewed in enhanced resolution while reducing the patient exposure to radiation. The proposed method exploits the structural characteristics of breast tissues being imaged and produces higher resolution mammographic images with sufficient visual fidelity that fine image details can be discriminated more easily. In our approach, the superresolution problem is formulated as a constrained optimization problem using a third-order Markov prior model and adapts the priors based on the phase variations of the low-resolution mammographic images. Experimental results indicate the proposed method is more effective at preserving the visual information when compared with existing resolution enhancement methods.     

Restoration of a single superresolution image from several blurred,noisy, and undersampled measured images

The three main tools in the single image restoration theory are the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator, the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) estimator, and the set theoretic approach using projection onto convex sets (POCS). This paper utilizes the above known tools to propose a unified methodology toward the more complicated problem of superresolution restoration. In the superresolution restoration problem, an improved resolution image is restored from several geometrically warped, blurred, noisy and downsampled measured images. The superresolution restoration problem is modeled and analyzed from the ML, the MAP, and POCS points of view, yielding a generalization of the known superresolution restoration methods. The proposed restoration approach is general but assumes explicit knowledge of the linear space- and time-variant blur, the (additive Gaussian) noise, the different measured resolutions, and the (smooth) motion characteristics. A hybrid method combining the simplicity of the ML and the incorporation of nonellipsoid constraints is presented, giving improved restoration performance, compared with the ML and the POCS approaches. The hybrid method is shown to converge to the unique optimal solution of a new definition of the optimization problem. Superresolution restoration from motionless measurements is also discussed. Simulations demonstrate the power of the proposed methodology.

A Novel Adaptive Beamformer Based on Semidefinite Programming (SDP) With Magnitude Response Constraints

A novel robust adaptive beamformer, formulated as a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem, is proposed in this paper. With new constraints on the magnitude response, the beamwidth and response ripple of the robust response region can be well controlled. Moreover, only a small part of these inequality constraints on the magnitude response are active during optimization so that few degrees of freedom (DOFs) of the adaptive beamformer are consumed. Consequently, the resultant beamformer has significant improvement on signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR). An important problem in the proposed beamformer is how to generate the array weight vector from the optimal semidefinite matrix. In this paper, a method utilizing the extended spectral factorization method is proposed to solve this problem. Simple implementation, flexible performance control as well as significant SINR enhancement support the practicability of the proposed method.     

Minimum class variance support vector machines.

In this paper, a modified class of support vector machines (SVMs) inspired from the optimization of Fisher's discriminant ratio is presented, the so-called minimum class variance SVMs (MCVSVMs). The MCVSVMs optimization problem is solved in cases in which the training set contains less samples that the dimensionality of the training vectors using dimensionality reduction through principal component analysis (PCA). Afterward, the MCVSVMs are extended in order to find nonlinear decision surfaces by solving the optimization problem in arbitrary Hilbert spaces defined by Mercer's kernels. In that case, it is shown that, under kernel PCA, the nonlinear optimization problem is transformed into an equivalent linear MCVSVMs problem. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated by comparing it with the standard SVMs and other classifiers, like kernel Fisher discriminant analysis in facial image characterization problems like gender determination, eyeglass, and neutral facial expression detection.

Semidefinite programming relaxation approach for multiuser detection of QAM signals

A semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation approach is proposed to solve multiuser detection problems in systems with M-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM). In the proposed approach, the optimal M-ary maximum likelihood (ML) detection is carried out by converting the associated M-ary integer programming problem into a binary integer programming problem. Then a relaxation approach is adopted to convert the binary integer programming problem into an SDP problem. This relaxation process leads to a detector of much reduced complexity. A multistage approach is then proposed to improve the performance of the SDP relaxation based detectors. Computer simulations demonstrate that the symbol-error rate (SER) performance offered by the proposed multistage SDP relaxation based detectors outperforms that of several existing suboptimal detectors.
