In image classification, merging the opinion of several human experts is very important for different tasks such as the evaluation or the training. Indeed, the ground truth is rarely known before the scene imaging. We propose here different…
In cases of serious crime, including sexual abuse, often the only available information with demonstrated potential for identification is images of the hands. Since this evidence is captured in uncontrolled situations, it is difficult to…
This paper proposes a multimodal biometric system through Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for face and ear biometrics with belief fusion of the estimated scores characterized by Gabor responses and the proposed fusion is accomplished by…
This paper demonstrates two different fusion techniques at two different levels of a human face recognition process. The first one is called data fusion at lower level and the second one is the decision fusion towards the end of the…
In this paper, we propose a novel and highly practical score-level fusion approach called dynamic belief fusion (DBF) that directly integrates inference scores of individual detections from multiple object detection methods. To effectively…
Combining evidence from different sources can be achieved with Bayesian or Dempster-Shafer methods. The first requires an estimate of the priors and likelihoods while the second only needs an estimate of the posterior probabilities and…
Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is a powerful tool in information fusion. When the evidence are highly conflicting, the counter-intuitive results will be presented. To adress this open issue, a new method based on evidence distance of…
Recognizing a face based on its attributes is an easy task for a human to perform as it is a cognitive process. In recent years, Face Recognition is achieved with different kinds of facial features which were used separately or in a…
We present a new wrapper feature selection algorithm for human detection. This algorithm is a hybrid feature selection approach combining the benefits of filter and wrapper methods. It allows the selection of an optimal feature vector that…
This paper proposes a novel method for randomized bin-picking based on learning. When a two-fingered gripper tries to pick an object from the pile, a finger often contacts a neighboring object. Even if a finger contacts a neighboring…
Gesture recognition is a hot topic in computer vision and pattern recognition, which plays a vitally important role in natural human-computer interface. Although great progress has been made recently, fast and robust hand gesture…
A plethora of biometric measures have been proposed in the past. In this paper we introduce a new potential biometric measure: the human tremor. We present a new method for identifying the user of a handheld device using characteristics of…
Biometrics is indispensable in this modern digital era for secure automated human authentication in various fields of machine learning and pattern recognition. Hand geometry is a promising physiological biometric trait with ample deployed…
Traditional breast cancer image classification methods require manual extraction of features from medical images, which not only require professional medical knowledge, but also have problems such as time-consuming and labor-intensive and…
In this paper, a logo classification system based on the appearance of logo images is proposed. The proposed classification system makes use of global characteristics of logo images for classification. Color, texture, and shape of a logo…
Examplers of a face are formed from multiple gallery images of a person and are used in the process of classification of a test image. We incorporate such examplers in forming a biologically inspired local binary decisions on similarity…
Nowadays, hand gesture recognition has become an alternative for human-machine interaction. It has covered a large area of applications like 3D game technology, sign language interpreting, VR (virtual reality) environment, and robotics. But…
We propose a deep learning-based feature fusion approach for facial computing including face recognition as well as gender, race and age detection. Instead of training a single classifier on face images to classify them based on the…
Dynamic facial expression recognition has many useful applications in social networks, multimedia content analysis, security systems and others. This challenging process must be done under recurrent problems of image illumination and low…
Feature fusion is a commonly used strategy in image retrieval tasks, which aggregates the matching responses of multiple visual features. Feasible sets of features can be either descriptors (SIFT, HSV) for an entire image or the same…
