Abstract
We have developed and evaluated a tool for change detection and other analysis tasks relevant to image exploitation. The tool, visGRAIL, integrates three key elements: (1) the use of multiple algorithms to extract information from images - feature extractors or {open_quotes}sensors{close_quotes}, (2) an algorithm to fuse the information - presently a neural network, and (3) empirical estimation of the fusion parameters based on a representative set of images. The system was applied to test images in the RADIUS Common Development Environment (RCDE). In a task designed to distinguish natural scenes from those containing various amounts of human-made objects and structure, the system classified correctly 95% of 350 images in a test set. This paper describes details of the feature extractors, and presents analyses of the discriminatory characteristics of the features. visGRAIL has been integrated into the RCDE.

A segmentation algorithm for noisy images: design and evalution

TL;DR: A minimum spanning tree representation of a gray-level image has been developed and an image segmentation problem is effectively reduced to a tree partitioning problem, which can be solved efficiently.

A segmentation algorithm for noisy images

TL;DR: Evaluation results have shown that the segmentation algorithm is robust in the presence of these two types of noise, transmission errors and Gaussian additive noise.

Neural Net Learning Issues in Classification of Free Text Documents

TL;DR: In intelligent analysis of large amounts of text, not any single clue indicates reliably that a pattern of interest has been found, so neural nets are used as parameterized mappings that allow for fusion of higher level clues extracted from free text.

Bootstrap Methods for Standard Errors, Confidence Intervals, and Other Measures of Statistical Accuracy

TL;DR: The bootstrap is extended to other measures of statistical accuracy such as bias and prediction error, and to complicated data structures such as time series, censored data, and regression models.

Advanced visual surveillance using Bayesian networks

TL;DR: A knowledge-based approach is adopted in which domain specific models of the dynamic objects, events and behaviour are used to meet the requirement for sensitive and accurate performance.

An artificial intelligence approach to DNA sequence feature recognition.

TL;DR: The ultimate goal of the Human Genome project is to extract the biologically relevant information recorded in the estimated 100,000 genes encoded by the 3 x 10(9) bases of the human genome, which necessitates development of reliable computer-based methods capable of analysing and correctly identifying genes in the vast amounts of DNA-sequence data generated.

Learning algorithms for feedforward networks based on finite samples

TL;DR: Two classes of convergent algorithms for learning continuous functions and regressions that are approximated by feedforward networks are presented, applicable to networks with unknown weights located only in the output layer and general feed forward networks.
