Camera motion estimation through planar deformation determination
In this paper, we propose a global method for estimating the motion of a
camera which films a static scene. Our approach is direct, fast and robust, and
deals with adjacent frames of a sequence. It is based on a quadratic
approximation of the deformation between two images, in the case of a scene
with constant depth in the camera coordinate system. This condition is very
restrictive but we show that provided translation and depth inverse variations
are small enough, the error on optical flow involved by the approximation of
depths by a constant is small. In this context, we propose a new model of
camera motion, that allows to separate the image deformation in a similarity
and a ``purely'' projective application, due to change of optical axis
direction. This model leads to a quadratic approximation of image deformation
that we estimate with an M-estimator; we can immediatly deduce camera motion
parameters.Comment: 21 pages, version modifi\'ee accept\'e le 20 mars 200
A Family of Maximum Margin Criterion for Adaptive Learning
In recent years, pattern analysis plays an important role in data mining and
recognition, and many variants have been proposed to handle complicated
scenarios. In the literature, it has been quite familiar with high
dimensionality of data samples, but either such characteristics or large data
have become usual sense in real-world applications. In this work, an improved
maximum margin criterion (MMC) method is introduced firstly. With the new
definition of MMC, several variants of MMC, including random MMC, layered MMC,
2D^2 MMC, are designed to make adaptive learning applicable. Particularly, the
MMC network is developed to learn deep features of images in light of simple
deep networks. Experimental results on a diversity of data sets demonstrate the
discriminant ability of proposed MMC methods are compenent to be adopted in
complicated application scenarios.Comment: 14 page
