Download or read book Information Theory in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition written by Francisco Escolano Ruiz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-07-14 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information theory has proved to be effective for solving many computer vision and pattern recognition (CVPR) problems (such as image matching, clustering and segmentation, saliency detection, feature selection, optimal classifier design and many others). Nowadays, researchers are widely bringing information theory elements to the CVPR arena. Among these elements there are measures (entropy, mutual information...), principles (maximum entropy, minimax entropy...) and theories (rate distortion theory, method of types...). This book explores and introduces the latter elements through an incremental complexity approach at the same time where CVPR problems are formulated and the most representative algorithms are presented. Interesting connections between information theory principles when applied to different problems are highlighted, seeking a comprehensive research roadmap. The result is a novel tool both for CVPR and machine learning researchers, and contributes to a cross-fertilization of both areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the latest advances in the mathematical theory and computational tools for modeling high-dimensional data drawn from one or multiple low-dimensional subspaces (or manifolds) and potentially corrupted by noise, gross errors, or outliers. This challenging task requires the development of new algebraic, geometric, statistical, and computational methods for efficient and robust estimation and segmentation of one or multiple subspaces.

Download or read book Geometric Properties for Incomplete Data written by Reinhard Klette and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-14 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer vision and image analysis require interdisciplinary collaboration between mathematics and engineering. This book addresses the area of high-accuracy measurements of length, curvature, motion parameters and other geometrical quantities from acquired image data. It is a common problem that these measurements are incomplete or noisy, such that considerable efforts are necessary to regularise the data, to fill in missing information, and to judge the accuracy and reliability of these results. This monograph brings together contributions from researchers in computer vision, engineering and mathematics who are working in this area. The book can be read both by specialists and graduate students in computer science, electrical engineering or mathematics who take an interest in data evaluations by approximation or interpolation, in particular data obtained in an image analysis context.

Download or read book Shape Contour and Grouping in Computer Vision written by David A. Forsyth and published by Springer. This book was released on 2003-07-31 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer vision has been successful in several important applications recently. Vision techniques can now be used to build very good models of buildings from pictures quickly and easily, to overlay operation planning data on a neuros- geon’s view of a patient, and to recognise some of the gestures a user makes to a computer. Object recognition remains a very di cult problem, however. The key questions to understand in recognition seem to be: (1) how objects should be represented and (2) how to manage the line of reasoning that stretches from image data to object identity. An important part of the process of recognition { perhaps, almost all of it { involves assembling bits of image information into helpful groups. There is a wide variety of possible criteria by which these groups could be established { a set of edge points that has a symmetry could be one useful group; others might be a collection of pixels shaded in a particular way, or a set of pixels with coherent colour or texture. Discussing this process of grouping requires a detailed understanding of the relationship between what is seen in the image and what is actually out there in the world.

Download or read book Scene Segmentation and Reasoning Under Uncertainty written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Segmentation of range images has long been considered in computer vision as an important but extremely difficult problem. A new paradigm for the segmentation of range images into piecewise continuous patches is presented. Data aggregation is performed via model recovery in terms of variable-order bi- variate polynomials using iterative regression. All the recovered models are potential candidates for the final description of the data. Selection of the models is achieved through a maximization of quadratic Boolean problem. The procedure can be adapted to prefer certain kinds of descriptions (one which describes more data points, or has smaller error, or has lower order model). They have developed a fast optimization procedure for model selection. The major novelty of the approach is in combining model extraction and model selection in a dynamic way. Partial recovery of the models is followed by the optimization (selection) procedure where only the best models are allowed to develop further. The results obtained in this way are comparable with the results obtained when using the selection module only after all the models are fully recovered, while the computational complexity is significantly reduced. The procedure was tested on several real range images.
