A variational method for contour tracking via covariance matching

This paper presents a novel formulation for contour tracking.We model the second-order statistics of image regions and perform covariance matching under the variational level set framework.Specifically,covariance matrix is adopted as a visual object representation for partial differential equation(PDE) based contour tracking.Log-Euclidean calculus is used as a covariance distance metric instead of Euclidean distance which is unsuitable for measuring the similarities between covariance matrices,because the matrices typically lie on a non-Euclidean manifold.A novel image energy functional is formulated by minimizing the distance metric between the candidate object region and a given template,and maximizing the one between the background region and the template.The corresponding gradient flow is then derived according to a variational approach,enabling partial differential equations(PDEs) based contour tracking.Experiments on several challenging sequences prove the validity of the proposed method.

Multi-channel SAR imaging based on distributed compressive sensing

The rapid development of compressive sensing(CS)shows that it is possible to recover a sparse signal from very limited measurements.Synthetic aperture radar(SAR)imaging based on CS can reconstruct the target scene with a reduced number of collected samples by solving an optimization problem.For multi-channel SAR imaging based on CS,each channel requires sufficient samples for separate imaging and the total number of samples could still be large.We propose an imaging algorithm based on distributed compressive sensing(DCS)that reconstructs scenes jointly under multiple channels.Multi-channel SAR imaging based on DCS not only exploits the sparsity of the target scene,but also exploits the correlation among channels.It requires significantly fewer samples than multi-channel SAR imaging based on CS.If multiple channels offer different sampling rates,DCS joint processing can reconstruct target scenes with a much more flexible allocation of the number of measurements offered by each channel than that used in separate CS processing.

Negative effects of sufficiently small initial weights on back-propagation neural networks

In the training of feedforward neural networks,it is usually suggested that the initial weights should be small in magnitude in order to prevent premature saturation.The aim of this paper is to point out the other side of the story:In some cases,the gradient of the error functions is zero not only for infinitely large weights but also for zero weights.Slow convergence in the beginning of the training procedure is often the result of sufficiently small initial weights.Therefore,we suggest that,in these cases,the initial values of the weights should be neither too large,nor too small.For instance,a typical range of choices of the initial weights might be something like(0.4,0.1) ∪(0.1,0.4),rather than(0.1,0.1) as suggested by the usual strategy.Our theory that medium size weights should be used has also been extended to a few commonly used transfer functions and error functions.Numerical experiments are carried out to support our theoretical findings.
