Boosting Sparsity Constrained Bi-Linear Model for Object Recognition

چکیده
Although the bag-of-visual-words (BoW) representation has received wide application, it ignores the spatial information. To tackle this problem, we propose to use ‘components’ as the higher-level visual elements to represent images. Then we formulate object recognition into a bi-linear model along with sparsity constraints to indicate two progressive linear relationships among a given concept and the two-level visual elements of images, yielding a sparsity constrained bi-linear model (SBLM). To further enhance robustness and leverage the nonconvexity of SBLM, we learn a combination of SBLM in a boosting-like procedure. We also prove that the optimization over each subset (while keeping the other subset fixed) of weighted SBLM is convex, hence the global optimum for each subset can be found. Accordingly, the optimization procedure can keep on refining the two parameter sets with strictly reduced objective cost during each boosting round. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed boosting SBLM method. * Corresponding author.

Model Predictive Controller Design for a Novel Moving Mass Controlled Bi-rotor UAV
This paper presents design and implementation of Model Based Predictive Controller (MPC) for a novel Bi-Rotor Moving Mass Controlled (MMC) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Due to the strict constrained control inputs in this type of UAV, it is necessary to take into account the constrained controller design and un-constrained control methods are not applicable. MPC controller which is designed ba...
متن کاملBoosting Constrained Mutual Subspace Method for Robust Image-Set Based Object Recognition
Object recognition using image-set or video sequence as input tends to be more robust since image-set or video sequence provides much more information than single snap-shot about the variability in the appearance of the target subject. Constrained Mutual Subspace Method (CMSM) is one of the state-of-the-art algorithms for imageset based object recognition by first projecting the image-set patte...

We would like to congratulate the authors for their thought-provoking and interesting paper. The Dantzig paper is on the timely topic of high-dimensional data modeling that has been the center of much research lately and where many exciting results have been obtained. It also falls in the very hot area at the interface of statistics and optimization: ℓ 1-constrained minimization in linear model...
متن کاملA New Bi-Objective Model for a Multi-Mode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem with Discounted Cash Flows and four Payment Models
The aim of a multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) is to assign resource(s) with the restricted capacity to an execution mode of activities by considering relationship constraints, to achieve pre-determined objective(s). These goals vary with managers or decision makers of any organization who should determine suitable objective(s) considering organization strategi...
متن کاملImage Annotation by Input-Output Structural Grouping Sparsity
Automatic image annotation (AIA) is very important to image retrieval and image understanding. Two key issues in AIA are explored in detail in this paper, i.e., structured visual feature selection and the implementation of hierarchical correlated structures among multiple tags to boost the performance of image annotation. This paper simultaneously introduces an input and output structural group...
