Effect of sparsity-aware timeāfrequency analysis on dynamic hand gesture classification with radar micro-Doppler signatures
Dynamic hand gesture recognition is of great importance in human-computer interaction. In this study, the authors investigate the effect of sparsity-driven time-frequency analysis on hand gesture classification. The time-frequency spectrogram is first obtained by sparsity-driven time-frequency analysis. Then three empirical micro-Doppler features are extracted from the time-frequency spectrogram and a support vector machine is used to classify six kinds of dynamic hand gestures. The experimental results on measured data demonstrate that, compared to traditional time-frequency analysis techniques, sparsity-driven time-frequency analysis provides improved accuracy and robustness in dynamic hand gesture classification
K-Space at TRECVid 2007
In this paper we describe K-Space participation in
TRECVid 2007. K-Space participated in two tasks, high-level feature extraction and interactive search. We present our approaches for each of these activities and provide a brief analysis of our results. Our high-level feature submission utilized multi-modal low-level features which included visual, audio and temporal elements. Specific concept detectors (such as Face detectors) developed by K-Space partners were also used. We experimented with different machine learning approaches including logistic regression and support vector machines (SVM). Finally we also experimented with both early and late fusion for feature combination. This year we also participated in interactive search, submitting 6 runs. We developed two interfaces which both utilized the same retrieval functionality. Our objective was to measure the effect of context, which was supported to different degrees in each interface, on user performance.
The first of the two systems was a āshotā based interface,
where the results from a query were presented as a ranked
list of shots. The second interface was ābroadcastā based,
where results were presented as a ranked list of broadcasts.
Both systems made use of the outputs of our high-level feature submission as well as low-level visual features
Simultaneous Spectral-Spatial Feature Selection and Extraction for Hyperspectral Images
In hyperspectral remote sensing data mining, it is important to take into
account of both spectral and spatial information, such as the spectral
signature, texture feature and morphological property, to improve the
performances, e.g., the image classification accuracy. In a feature
representation point of view, a nature approach to handle this situation is to
concatenate the spectral and spatial features into a single but high
dimensional vector and then apply a certain dimension reduction technique
directly on that concatenated vector before feed it into the subsequent
classifier. However, multiple features from various domains definitely have
different physical meanings and statistical properties, and thus such
concatenation hasn't efficiently explore the complementary properties among
different features, which should benefit for boost the feature
discriminability. Furthermore, it is also difficult to interpret the
transformed results of the concatenated vector. Consequently, finding a
physically meaningful consensus low dimensional feature representation of
original multiple features is still a challenging task. In order to address the
these issues, we propose a novel feature learning framework, i.e., the
simultaneous spectral-spatial feature selection and extraction algorithm, for
hyperspectral images spectral-spatial feature representation and
classification. Specifically, the proposed method learns a latent low
dimensional subspace by projecting the spectral-spatial feature into a common
feature space, where the complementary information has been effectively
exploited, and simultaneously, only the most significant original features have
been transformed. Encouraging experimental results on three public available
hyperspectral remote sensing datasets confirm that our proposed method is
effective and efficient
Feature Representation for Online Signature Verification
Biometrics systems have been used in a wide range of applications and have
improved people authentication. Signature verification is one of the most
common biometric methods with techniques that employ various specifications of
a signature. Recently, deep learning has achieved great success in many fields,
such as image, sounds and text processing. In this paper, deep learning method
has been used for feature extraction and feature selection.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information
