Randomized RANSAC with Sequential Probability Ratio Test
A randomized model verification strategy for RANSAC is presented. The proposed method finds, like RANSAC, a solution that is optimal with user-controllable probability η. A provably optimal model verification strategy is designed for the situation when the contamination of data by outliers is known, i.e. the algorithm is the fastest possible (on average) of all randomized RANSAC algorithms guar...
متن کاملBoosted multi-hypothesis sequential probability ratio test
In many computer vision classification and detection problems, the time to decision is no less important that the error rates. In the binary case, given the false positive and false negative rates, the optimal strategy minimizing the expected decision time is the Wald’s sequential probability ratio test (SPRT). Recently, Sochman and Matas proposed learning SPRT strategies from labeled examples ...
متن کاملA Neural Implementation of Wald’s Sequential Probability Ratio Test
Difficult decisions often require evaluation of samples of evidence acquired sequentially. A sensible strategy is to accumulate evidence, weighted by its reliability, until sufficient support is attained. An optimal statistical approach would accumulate evidence in units of logarithms of likelihood ratios (logLR) to a desired level. Studies of perceptual decisions suggest that the brain approxi...
متن کاملAssociated With the WAGR Syndrome
Wilms' tumor is a childhood nephroblastoma that is postulated to arise through the inactivation of a tumor suppressor gene by a two-hit mechanism. A candidate II p 13 Wilms' tumor gene, WT I, has been cloned and shown to encode a z:inc finger protein. Patients with the WAGR syndrome (Wilms' tumor, aniridia, genitourinary abnormalities, and mental retardation) have a high risk of developing Wilm...
متن کاملConvergence in a sequential two stages decision making process
We analyze a sequential decision making process, in which at each stepthe decision is made in two stages. In the rst stage a partially optimalaction is chosen, which allows the decision maker to learn how to improveit under the new environment. We show how inertia (cost of changing)may lead the process to converge to a routine where no further changesare made. We illustrate our scheme with some...
