classification ensemble, which uses the weighed polling of outputs, is the art of combining a set of basic classifiers for generating high-performance, robust and more stable results. this study aims to improve the results of identifying the persian handwritten letters using error correcting output coding (ecoc) ensemble method. furthermore, the feature selection is used to reduce the costs of ...

Sparse coding which encodes the original signal in a sparse signal space, has shown its state-of-the-art performance in the visual codebook generation and feature quantization process of BoW based image representation. However, in the feature quantization process of sparse coding, some similar local features may be quantized into different visual words of the codebook due to the sensitiveness o...

As a novel class of noncoding RNAs, long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been verified to be associated with various diseases. As large scale transcripts are generated every year, it is significant to accurately and quickly identify lncRNAs from thousands of assembled transcripts. To accurately discover new lncRNAs, we develop a classification tool of random forest (RF) named LncRNApred based on ...

image database, image retrieval, run length coding, Freeman coding, downsampling Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) is an important issue in the computer vision community. Both visual and textual content descriptions are employed when the user formulates queries. Shape feature is an important visual feature, as it corresponds to the region of interest in images. For retrieval, shape compariso...

Ausgehend von einer konkreten Problemstellung, die sich im Rahmen einer Kooperation mit einem industriellen Partner ergibt, untersuchen wir in diesem Artikel, was geometrische Ähnlichkeit von CADObjekten (in unserem Fall polygonalen Objekten) bedeutet. Aus der Untersuchung leiten wir verschiedene Eigenschaften von Ähnlichkeit ab und definieren die Begriffe Ähnlichkeitsmaß und Ähnlichkeitsmetrik...

We present a scheme for measuring completeness of local feature extraction in terms of image coding. Completeness is here considered as good coverage of relevant image information by the features. As each feature requires a certain number of bits which are representative for a certain subregion of the image, we interpret the coverage as a sparse coding scheme. The measure is therefore based on ...

In this paper, a new algorithm for generating codebook is proposed for vector quantization (VQ) in image coding. The significant features of the training image vectors are extracted by using the proposed Orthogonal Polynomials based transformation. We propose to generate the codebook by partitioning these feature vectors into a binary tree. Each feature vector at a non-terminal node of the bina...

This paper introduces a new approach to feature-based head tracking and pose estimation. Head tracking and pose estimation nd their most important applications in motion analysis for model-based video coding. The proposed algorithm employs an underlying 3D head model, feature-based pose estimation, and texture mapping to produce accurate templates for the feature tracking. In this way, the set ...
