Boosted LMS-based piecewise linear adaptive filters
We introduce the boosting notion extensively used in different machine learning applications to adaptive signal processing literature and implement several different adaptive filtering algorithms. In this framework, we have several adaptive constituent filters that run in parallel. For each newly received input vector and observation pair, each filter adapts itself based on the performance of the other adaptive filters in the mixture on this current data pair. These relative updates provide the boosting effect such that the filters in the mixture learn a different attribute of the data providing diversity. The outputs of these constituent filters are then combined using adaptive mixture approaches. We provide the computational complexity bounds for the boosted adaptive filters. The introduced methods demonstrate improvement in the performances of conventional adaptive filtering algorithms due to the boosting effect. © 2016 IEEE
Adaptive pre-filtering techniques for colour image analysis
One important step in the process of colour image
segmentation is to reduce the errors caused by image
noise and local colour inhomogeneities. This can be
achieved by filtering the data with a smoothing
operator that eliminates the noise and the weak
textures. In this regard, the aim of this paper is to
evaluate the performance of two image smoothing
techniques designed for colour images, namely
bilateral filtering for edge preserving smoothing and
coupled forward and backward anisotropic diffusion
scheme (FAB). Both techniques are non-linear and
have the purpose of eliminating the image noise,
reduce weak textures and artefacts and improve the
coherence of colour information. A quantitative
comparison between them will be evaluated and also
the ability of such techniques to preserve the edge
information will be investigated
2D Face Recognition System Based on Selected Gabor Filters and Linear Discriminant Analysis LDA
We present a new approach for face recognition system. The method is based on
2D face image features using subset of non-correlated and Orthogonal Gabor
Filters instead of using the whole Gabor Filter Bank, then compressing the
output feature vector using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). The face image
has been enhanced using multi stage image processing technique to normalize it
and compensate for illumination variation. Experimental results show that the
proposed system is effective for both dimension reduction and good recognition
performance when compared to the complete Gabor filter bank. The system has
been tested using CASIA, ORL and Cropped YaleB 2D face images Databases and
achieved average recognition rate of 98.9 %
