The S-kernel: A measure of symmetry of objects

In this paper we introduce a new symmetry feature named “symmetry kernel” (SK) to support a measure of symmetry. Given any symmetry transform S, SK of a pattern P is the maximal included symmetric sub-set of P for all directions and shifts. We provide a first algorithm to exhibit this kernel where the centre of symmetry is assumed to be the centre of mass. Then we prove that, in any direction, the optimal axis corresponds to the maximal correlation of a pattern with its symmetric version. That leads to a second algorithm. The associated symmetry measure is a modified difference between the respective surfaces of a pattern and its kernel. A series of experiments supports the actual algorithm validation.     

Comparison among feature extraction methods for HIV-1 protease cleavage site prediction

Recently, several works have approached the HIV-1 protease specificity problem by applying a number of methods from the field of machine learning. However, it is still difficult for researchers to choose the best method due to the lack of an effective comparison. For the first time we have made an extensive study on methods for feature extraction for the problem of HIV-1 protease. We show that a fusion of classifiers trained in different feature spaces permits to obtain a drastically error reduction with respect to the performance of the state-of-the-art.

La capacité d'imitation à la naissance: Elle existe, mais que signifie-t-elle?

Much of the research on early imitations is restricted to the problem of their existence, without trying to describe them. The aim of this research is to analyze the principal characteristics of neonatal imitations in order to differentiate them from the later imitations. The behaviours of 16 neonates were filmed. A facial and a manual model were used. A detailed analysis of newborn behaviour revealed several features of early imitations: They were selective, quite exact, integrated, and occurred with short-time latencies. These results are interpreted within a cognitive framework. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)     

多坐标系下目标跟踪的联合滤波

针对雷达目标观测和处理在不同的坐标系下完成，本文提出了联合滤波算法来跟踪机动目标。该算法以卡尔曼滤波器为基础，直角坐标系下和极坐标系下的算法相联合，不仅克服了两种坐标系下滤波算法的不足，而且对机动目标有很好的跟踪效果。仿真实验结果表明了该算法的有效性。     

基于奇异值分解的特征跟踪方法

在传统的基于模板匹配的跟踪方法中，均是给定一个模板，然后从图像中各个位置取出一个个与模板大小一致的区域进行相似性度量，找出与模板距离最小的一个区域作为当前模板，以便进行下一步的匹配跟踪工作。在景象匹配和相关跟踪过程中，由于所面临的大多数是变化的场景，实时获取的图像与预存模板之间存在比较大的差异，传统相关匹配方法的应用就会受到限制；而且在跟踪过程中，随时更新模板会造成跟踪性能对扰动过分敏感，从而产生漂移。首先拍摄目标不同角度的图像（尽可能包含目标可能出现的所有情况），构成目标图像训练集合，抽取出特征矩阵，对它进行奇异值分解，构成一个关于目标的多维空间。然后再用匹配方法在全局范围搜索，找出目标的大致位置，并利用收敛方法在确定的大致位置内进行搜索，确定目标的仿射变换系数，从而得到一个目标位置的确切描述。
