In this paper we critically analyze the so far performed and proposed tests for measuring the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth with some of the existing accurately tracked artificial satellites. The impact of the 2nd generation GRACE-only EIGEN-GRACE02S Earth gravity model and of the 1st CHAMP+GRACE+terrestrial gravity combined EIGEN-CG01C Earth...

Trajectory-pooled Deep-learning Descriptors have been the state-of-the-art feature descriptors for human action recognition in video on many datasets. This paper improves their performance by applying the proposed eigen-evolution pooling to each trajectory, encoding the temporal evolution of deep learning features computed along the trajectory. This leads to Eigen-Evolution Trajectory (EET) des...

Category based image search, where the goal is to retrieve images of a specific category from a large database, is becoming increasingly popular. In such a setting, the query is often a classifier. However, the complexity of the classifiers (often SVMs) used for this purpose hinders the use of such a solution in practice. Problem becomes paramount when the database is huge and/or the dimensiona...

This paper proposes a novel technique for palmprint recognition in context to biometric identification of a person. Palmprints are images of the inner portion of a person’s palm and consist of a complex pattern of randomly oriented curves and lines. This random pattern can provide a unique identifier of a person if a mathematical model can be built to represent and compare it. In this paper the...

The template matching is the basic technique of the object detection such as the defect inspection and OCR (Optical Character Recognition). It has a problem which requires a lot of computational time for detecting the XY displacement and the rotational angle of the target object. We have proposed the eigen template method for this problem. The proposed method can efficiently calculate correlati...

Enforcing a straight-line condition of the total energy upon removal/addition of fractional electrons on eigen states has been successfully applied to atoms and molecules for calculating ionization potentials and electron affinities, but fails for solids due to the extended nature of the eigen orbitals. Here we have extended the straight-line condition to the removal/addition of fractional elec...
