TL;DR: Compared with other methods, employing the radix sort makes the detection much more efficient without degradation of detection quality.
Abstract: This paper proposes a method for detecting copy-move forgery over images tampered by copy-move. To detect such forgeries, the given image is divided into overlapping blocks of equal size, feature for each block is then extracted and represented as a vector, all the extracted feature vectors are then sorted using the radix sort. The difference (shift vector) of the positions of every pair of adjacent feature vectors in the sorting list is computed. The accumulated number of each of the shift vectors is evaluated. A large accumulated number is considered as possible presence of a duplicated region, and thus all the feature vectors corresponding to the shift vectors with large accumulated numbers are detected, whose corresponding blocks are then marked to form a tentative detected result. Finally, the medium filtering and connected component analysis are performed on the tentative detected result to obtain the final result. Compared with other methods, employing the radix sort makes the detection much more efficient without degradation of detection quality.

TL;DR: In this article, a cumulant-based method for identification of gait using accelerometer data is presented, where feature vectors for classification were built using dimension reduction on calculated cumulants by principal component analysis (PCA).
Abstract: In this paper a cumulant-based method for identification of gait using accelerometer data is presented. Acceleration data of three different walking speeds (slow, normal and fast) for each subject was acquired by the accelerometer embedded in cell phone which was attached to the person's hip. Data analysis was based on gait cycles that were detected first. Cumulants of order from 1 to 4 with different number of lags were calculated. Feature vectors for classification were built using dimension reduction on calculated cumulants by principal component analysis (PCA). The classification was accomplished by support vector machines (SVM) with radial basis kernel. According to portion of variance covered in the calculated principal components, different lengths of feature vectors were tested. Six healthy young subjects participated in the experiment. The average person recognition rate based on gait classification was 90.3±3.2%. A similarity measure for discerning different walking types of the same subject was also introduced using dimension reduction on accelerometer data by PCA.

TL;DR: An edge detection technique that is based on ACO is presented, which establishes a pheromone matrix that represents the edge information at each pixel based on the routes formed by the ants dispatched on the image.
Abstract: Ant colony optimization (ACO) is a population-based metaheuristic that mimics the foraging behavior of ants to find approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. It can be used to find good solutions to combinatorial optimization problems that can be transformed into the problem of finding good paths through a weighted construction graph. In this paper, an edge detection technique that is based on ACO is presented. The proposed method establishes a pheromone matrix that represents the edge information at each pixel based on the routes formed by the ants dispatched on the image. The movement of the ants is guided by the local variation in the image's intensity values. The proposed ACO-based edge detection method takes advantage of the improvements introduced in ant colony system, one of the main extensions to the original ant system. Experimental results show the success of the technique in extracting edges from a digital image.

TL;DR: It is suggested that a neural network could be trained to recognize an optimum ratio for Haar wavelet compression of an image upon presenting the image to the network.
Abstract: Wavelet-based image compression provides substantial improvements in picture quality at higher compression ratios. Haar wavelet transform based compression is one of the methods that can be applied for compressing images. An ideal image compression system must yield good quality compressed images with good compression ratio, while maintaining minimal time cost. With Wavelet transform based compression, the quality of compressed images is usually high, and the choice of an ideal compression ratio is difficult to make as it varies depending on the content of the image. Therefore, it is of great advantage to have a system that can determine an optimum compression ratio upon presenting it with an image. We propose that neural networks can be trained to establish the non-linear relationship between the image intensity and its compression ratios in search for an optimum ratio. This paper suggests that a neural network could be trained to recognize an optimum ratio for Haar wavelet compression of an image upon presenting the image to the network. Two neural networks receiving different input image sizes are developed in this work and a comparison between their performances in finding optimum Haar-based compression is presented.

TL;DR: This paper shows that the presented facial expression recognition method based on LBP and LFDA obtains the best recognition accuracy of 90.7% with 11 reduced features, outperforming the other used methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), locality preserving projection (LPP).
Abstract: Automatic facial expression recognition is an interesting and challenging subject in signal processing, pattern recognition, artificial intelligence, etc. In this paper, a new method of facial expression recognition based on local binary patterns (LBP) and local Fisher discriminant analysis (LFDA) is presented. The LBP features are firstly extracted from the original facial expression images. Then LFDA is used to produce the low dimensional discriminative embedded data representations from the extracted high dimensional LBP features with striking performance improvement on facial expression recognition tasks. Finally, support vector machines (SVM) classifier is used for facial expression classification. The experimental results on the popular JAFFE facial expression database demonstrate that the presented facial expression recognition method based on LBP and LFDA obtains the best recognition accuracy of 90.7% with 11 reduced features, outperforming the other used methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), locality preserving projection (LPP).
