In this paper, we present a method that can recognize face images by use of a sparse population code that is a learning model about a receptive fields of the simple cells in the primary visual cortex. Twenty front-view facial images form twenty persons were used for the training process, and 200 varied facial images, 20 per person, were used for test. The correct recognition rate was 100% for only the front-view test facial images, which include the images either with spectacles or of various expressions, while it was 90% in average for the total input images that include rotated faces. We analyzed the effect of nonlinear functon that determine the sparseness, and compared recognition rate using the sparese population code with that using eigenvectors (eigenfaces), which is compact code that makes contrast with the sparse population code.

Generally, research of classical image classification algorithms assume that training data and testing data are derived from the same domain with the same distribution. Unfortunately, in practical applications, this assumption is rarely met. Aiming at the problem, a domain adaption image classification approach based on multi-sparse representation is proposed in this paper. The existences of intermediate domains are hypothesized between the source and target domains. And each intermediate subspace is modeled through online dictionary learning with target data updating. On the one hand, the reconstruction error of the target data is guaranteed, on the other, the transition from the source domain to the target domain is as smooth as possible. An augmented feature representation produced by invariant sparse codes across the source, intermediate and target domain dictionaries is employed for across domain recognition. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The problem of blocking artifacts is very common in block-based image and video compression, especially at very low bit rates. In this paper, we propose a post-processing method for JPEG-coded image deblocking via sparse representation and adaptive residual threshold. This method includes three steps. First, we obtain the dictionary by online dictionary learning and the compressed images. The dictionary is then modified by the histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) feature descriptor and K-means cluster. Second, an adaptive residual threshold for orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) is proposed and used for sparse coding by combining blind image blocking assessment. At last, to take advantage of human visual system (HVS), the edge regions of the obtained deblocked image can be further modified by the edge regions of the compressed image. The experimental results show that our proposed method can keep the image more texture and edge information while reducing the image blocking artifacts.

Most background subtraction methods focus on dynamic and complex scenes without considering robustness against noise. This paper proposes a background subtraction algorithm based on dictionary learning and sparse coding for handling low light conditions. The proposed method formulates background modeling as the linear and sparse combination of atoms in the dictionary. The background subtraction is considered as the difference between sparse representations of the current frame and the background model. Assuming that the projection of the noise over the dictionary is irregular and random guarantees the adaptability of the approach in large noisy scenes. Experimental results divided in simulated large noise and realistic low light conditions show the promising robustness of the proposed approach compared with other competing methods.

본 논문은 유한체(finite fields)에서 압축센싱(compressed sensing) 프레임워크를 살펴본다. 하나의 측정 샘플은 센싱행렬의 행과 희소 신호 벡터와의 내적으로 연산되며, 본 논문에서 제안하는 확률적 희소 신호 복원 알고리즘을 이용하여 그 압축센싱의 해를 찾고자 한다. 지금까지 압축센싱은 실수(real-valued)나 복소수(complex-valued) 평면에서 주로 연구되어 왔지만, 이와 같은 원신호를 처리하는 경우 이산화 과정으로 정보의 손실이 뒤따르게 된다. 이에 대한 연구배경은 이산(discrete) 신호에 대한 희소 신호를 복원하고자 하는 노력으로 이어지고 있다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 프레임워크는 센싱행렬로써 코딩 이론에서 사용된 LDPC(Low-Density Parity-Check) 코드의 패러티체크 행렬을 이용한다. 그리고 본 연구에서 제안한 확률적 복원 알고리즘을 이용하여 유한체의 희소 신호를 복원한다. 기존의 코딩 이론에서 발표한 LDPC 복호화와는 달리 본 논문에서는 희소 신호의 확률분포를 이용한 반복적 알고리즘을 제안한다. 그리고 개발된 복원 알고리즘을 통하여 우리는 유한체의 크기가 커질수록 복원 성능이 우수한 결과를 얻었다. 압축센싱의 센싱행렬이 LDPC 패러티체크 행렬과 같은 저밀도 행렬에서도 좋은 성능을 보여줌에 따라 이산 신호를 고려한 응용 분야에서 적극적으로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

악보 전사란, 오디오 파일로부터 음고 (음표의 높낮이)와 리듬 (음표의 길이) 정보를 추출하여 악보를 만드는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 음원 분리 및 데이터 분류에 자주 사용되는 Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF)와 Non-Negative Sparse Coding (NNSC) 방식을 사용하여 오디오 파일을 주파수와 리듬 성분으로 분류하였다. 또한 배음 통합 (subharmonic summation) 방법으로 분류된 주파수들로부터 기본 진동 주파수를 계산하였고, 이로써 악보를 야루는 음표의 높낮이를 정확히 얻을 수 있었다. 제안한 방식으로 악보 전사거 성공적으로 이루어졌고, NMF 혹은 NNSC만 사용하여 악보 전사를 하였던 기존의 논문들에 비해 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In-network storage is an effective technique for avoiding network congestion and reducing power consumption in continuous data collection in wireless sensor networks. In recent years, network coding based storage design has been proposed as a means to achieving ubiquitous access that permits any query to be satisfied by a few random (nearby) storage nodes. To maintain data consistency in continuous data collection applications, the readings of a sensor over time must be sent to the same set of storage nodes. In this paper, we present an efficient approach to updating data at storage nodes to maintain data consistency at the storage nodes without decoding out the old data and re-encoding with new data. We studied a transmission strategy that identifies a set of storage nodes for each source sensor that minimizes the transmission cost and achieves ubiquitous access by transmitting sparsely using the sparse matrix theory. We demonstrate that the problem of minimizing the cost of transmission with coding is NP-hard. We present an approximation algorithm based on regarding every storage node with memory size B as B tiny nodes that can store only one packet. We analyzed the approximation ratio of the proposed approximation solution, and compared the performance of the proposed coding approach with other coding schemes presented in the literature. The simulation results confirm that significant performance improvement can be achieved with the proposed transmission strategy.

– In the paper, to handle the problem of traditional bag-of-features model ignoring the spatial relationship of local features in human action recognition, we proposed a Multiscale Spatial Position Coding under Locality Constraint method. Specifically, to describe this spatial relationship, we proposed a mixed feature combining motion feature and multi-spatial-scale configuration. To utilize temporal information between features, sub spatial-temporal-volumes are built. Next, the pooled features of sub-STVs are obtained via max-pooling method. In classification stage, the Locality-Constrained Group Sparse Representation is adopted to utilize the intrinsic group information of the sub-STV features. The experimental results on the KTH, Weizmann, and UCF sports datasets show that our action recognition system outperforms the classical local ST feature-based recognition systems published recently.

In this paper, we address a new fast DCT-II/DFT/HWT hybrid transform architecture for digital video and fusion mobile handsets based on Jacket-like sparse matrix decomposition. This fast hybrid architecture is consist of source coding standard as MPEG-4, JPEG 2000 and digital filtering discrete Fourier transform, and has two operations: one is block-wise inverse Jacket matrix (BIJM) for DCT-II, and the other is element-wise inverse Jacket matrix (EIJM) for DFT/HWT. They have similar recursive computational fashion, which mean all of them can be decomposed to Kronecker products of an identity Hadamard matrix and a successively lower order sparse matrix. Based on this trait, we can develop a single chip of fast hybrid algorithm architecture for intelligent mobile handsets.
