基于识别能力的人脸特征向量均衡

在人脸识别中,通常是把人脸图像投影在特征向量组成的空间中,特征向量决定了人脸识别的效果。同一人的人脸图像在好的特征向量上的投影应具有较集中的分布,反之亦然。从微观意义上提出了每个向量的识别能力的概念,通过计算识别能力的大小,选择具有较大的识别能力的特征向量。为了使每个向量在识别中发挥与其识别能力相对应的作用,根据每个向量的识别能力对它们进行均衡化处理,赋予不同权重,提高了识别率。通过在ORL、Yale人脸数据库上进行试验,验证了该方法的有效性。

Kernel-aligned multi-view canonical correlation analysis for image recognition

Existing kernel-based correlation analysis methods mainly adopt a single kernel in each view. However, only a single kernel is usually insufficient to characterize nonlinear distribution information of a view. To solve the problem, we transform each original feature vector into a 2-dimensional feature matrix by means of kernel alignment, and then propose a novel kernel-aligned multi-view canonical correlation analysis (KAMCCA) method on the basis of the feature matrices. Our proposed method can simultaneously employ multiple kernels to better capture the nonlinear distribution information of each view, so that correlation features learned by KAMCCA can have well discriminating power in real-world image recognition. Extensive experiments are designed on five real-world image datasets, including NIR face images, thermal face images, visible face images, handwritten digit images, and object images. Promising experimental results on the datasets have manifested the effectiveness of our proposed method.     

Good match exploration for thermal infrared face recognition based on YWF-SIFT with multi-scale fusion

Stable local feature detection is a critical prerequisite in the problem of infrared (IR) face recognition. Recently, Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is introduced for feature detection in an infrared face frame, which is achieved by applying a simple and effective averaging window with SIFT termed as Y-styled Window Filter (YWF). However, the thermal IR face frame has an intrinsic characteristic such as lack of feature points (keypoints); therefore, the performance of the YWF-SIFT method will be inevitably influenced when it was used for IR face recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel method combining multi-scale fusion with YWF-SIFT to explore more good feature matches. The multi-scale fusion is performed on a thermal IR frame and a corresponding auxiliary visual frame generated from an off-the-shelf low-cost visual camera. The fused image is more informative, and typically contains much more stable features. Besides, the use of YWF-SIFT method enables us to establish feature correspondences more accurately. Quantitative experimental results demonstrate that our algorithm is able to significantly improve the quantity of feature points by approximately 38%. As a result, the performance of YWF-SIFT with multi-scale fusion is enhanced about 12% in infrared human face recognition.     

Top-hat by reconstruction operators based multi-scale multi-structuring element method for multiple linear feature detection with simple post-processing

To efficiently extract all the possible linear features in image, a multi-scale multi-structuring element top-hat by reconstruction operator based algorithm with simple post-processing is proposed in this paper. Multi-scale top-hat by reconstruction operator using multi-scale structuring elements is discussed, firstly. Also, through importing multi-structuring elements with linear shapes at different directions, multi-scale multi-structuring element top-hat by reconstruction operator for linear feature extraction is shown. By using the multi-scales of multi-structuring elements, the method of extracting all the possible linear feature regions in an image is proposed. After extracting the linear feature regions, the final detected linear features, which are expressed as lines with different shapes and lengths, are obtained through image binarisation and refinement. Experimental results on different types of images show that, the proposed algorithm is efficient for linear feature detection and could be widely used in different applications related to multiple linear feature detection.

Infrared image enhancement through saliency feature analysis based on multi-scale decomposition

To improve contrast between dim target region and background in infrared (IR) long-range surveillance, this paper proposes a fast image enhancement approach using saliency feature extraction based on multi-scale decomposition. Firstly, a smooth based multi-scale decomposition is designed and applied to original infrared image, generating sub-images with various frequency components at different decomposition levels. The dim target regions of sub-images are extracted by a local frequency-tuned based saliency feature detection method, secondly. With saliency maps created by saliency extraction using multi-scale local windows with different sizes, the sub-images are enhanced at different decomposition scales. Finally, the enhanced result is reconstructed by synthesizing the all sub-images with adjustable synthetic weights. Since salient areas are analyzed based on fast multi-scale image decomposition, IR image can be s enhanced with good contrast successfully and rapidly. Compared with other algorithms, the experimental results prove that the proposed method is robust and efficient for IR image enhancement.
