Tropical linear algebra with the Lukasiewicz T-norm
The max-Lukasiewicz semiring is defined as the unit interval [0,1] equipped
with the arithmetics "a+b"=max(a,b) and "ab"=max(0,a+b-1). Linear algebra over
this semiring can be developed in the usual way. We observe that any problem of
the max-Lukasiewicz linear algebra can be equivalently formulated as a problem
of the tropical (max-plus) linear algebra. Based on this equivalence, we
develop a theory of the matrix powers and the eigenproblem over the
max-Lukasiewicz semiring.Comment: 27 page
(K,L)-eigenvectors in max-min algebra
Using the concept of (K,L)-eigenvector, we investigate the structure of the
max-min eigenspace associated with a given eigenvalue of a matrix in the
max-min algebra (also known as fuzzy algebra). In our approach, the max-min
eigenspace is split into several regions according to the order relations
between the eigenvalue and the components of x. The resulting theory of
(K,L)-eigenvectors, being based on the fundamental results of Gondran and
Minoux, allows to describe the whole max-min eigenspace explicitly and in more
detail.Comment: New title and abstract, several minor correction
Unsupervised video indexing on audiovisual characterization of persons
Cette thèse consiste à proposer une méthode de caractérisation non-supervisée des intervenants dans les documents audiovisuels, en exploitant des données liées à leur apparence physique et à leur voix. De manière générale, les méthodes d'identification automatique, que ce soit en vidéo ou en audio, nécessitent une quantité importante de connaissances a priori sur le contenu. Dans ce travail, le but est d'étudier les deux modes de façon corrélée et d'exploiter leur propriété respective de manière collaborative et robuste, afin de produire un résultat fiable aussi indépendant que possible de toute connaissance a priori. Plus particulièrement, nous avons étudié les caractéristiques du flux audio et nous avons proposé plusieurs méthodes pour la segmentation et le regroupement en locuteurs que nous avons évaluées dans le cadre d'une campagne d'évaluation. Ensuite, nous avons mené une étude approfondie sur les descripteurs visuels (visage, costume) qui nous ont servis à proposer de nouvelles approches pour la détection, le suivi et le regroupement des personnes. Enfin, le travail s'est focalisé sur la fusion des données audio et vidéo en proposant une approche basée sur le calcul d'une matrice de cooccurrence qui nous a permis d'établir une association entre l'index audio et l'index vidéo et d'effectuer leur correction. Nous pouvons ainsi produire un modèle audiovisuel dynamique des intervenants.This thesis consists to propose a method for an unsupervised characterization of persons within audiovisual documents, by exploring the data related for their physical appearance and their voice. From a general manner, the automatic recognition methods, either in video or audio, need a huge amount of a priori knowledge about their content. In this work, the goal is to study the two modes in a correlated way and to explore their properties in a collaborative and robust way, in order to produce a reliable result as independent as possible from any a priori knowledge. More particularly, we have studied the characteristics of the audio stream and we have proposed many methods for speaker segmentation and clustering and that we have evaluated in a french competition. Then, we have carried a deep study on visual descriptors (face, clothing) that helped us to propose novel approches for detecting, tracking, and clustering of people within the document. Finally, the work was focused on the audiovisual fusion by proposing a method based on computing the cooccurrence matrix that allowed us to establish an association between audio and video indexes, and to correct them. That will enable us to produce a dynamic audiovisual model for each speaker
