Model free exploratory methods available for functional MRI analysis of one subject such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) are investigated for generalisations when analysing more than one subject. Introducing the subject dimension makes a three-way data: brain, time, subject, and multiway methods are proposed either to optimise the variance (PCA) or...

Face recognition is emerging as an active research area with numerous commercial and law enforcement applications. This paper presents comparative analysis of two most popular subspace projection techniques for face recognition. It compares Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA), as implemented by the InfoMax algorithm. ORL face database is used for training...

This paper extends the framework of independent component analysis (ICA) to supervised learning. The key idea is to find a conditionally independent representation of input variables for given output. The representation is useful for the naive Bayes learning which has been reported to perform as well as more sophisticated methods. The learning algorithm is derived in a similar criterion to ICA....

We consider two novel representations and feature extraction schemes for automatic recognition of emotion related facial expressions. In one scheme facial landmark points are tracked over successive video frames using an effective detector and tracker to extract landmark trajectories. Features are extracted from landmark trajectories using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) method. In the alt...

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a technique that attempts to separate data into maximally independent groups. Achieving maximal independence in space or time yields two varieties of ICA meaningful for functional MRI (fMRI) applications: spatial ICA (SICA) and temporal ICA (TICA). SICA has so far dominated the application of ICA to fMRI. The objective of these experiments was to study IC...

Independent component analysis (ICA) is an effective feature extraction tool for process monitoring. However, the conventional ICA-based process monitoring methods usually adopt noise-free ICA models and thus may perform unsatisfactorily under the adverse effects of the measurement noise. In this paper, a process monitoring method using a new noisy independent component analysis, referred to as...

We propose a method to enhance the quality and precision of prediction results using measurements in the context of radio network modelling. The proposed method involves the use of an Independent Component Analysis (ICA) block and a MultiLayer Perceptron (MLP) Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The role of the ICA block is to make the variables at the input of the ANN statistically independent so...

Abstract: Based on the fast kernel entropy optimization independent component analysis and the minimum conditional entropy, this paper proposes a harmonic source localization method which aims at accurately estimating harmonic currents and identifying harmonic sources. The injected harmonic currents are estimated by the fast kernel entropy optimization independent component analysis (FKEO-ICA) ...

When exploiting independent component analysis (ICA) to perform blind source separation (BSS), it is assumed that sources are mutually independent. However, in practice, the latent sources are usually dependent to some extent. Subband decomposition ICA (SDICA) is an extension of ICA to admit source dependence. It assumes that each source is represented as the sum of some independent sub-compone...

This paper proposes a new approach to watermarking multimedia products by redundant discrete wavelet transform (RDWT) and independent component analysis (ICA). For watermark security, embedded logo watermarks are encrypted to random noise signal. To embed logo watermarks, the original image is decomposed by RDWT, and watermarks are embedded into middle frequency at LH and HL sub-bands. The perc...
