چکیده

The calculation of salient structures is one of the early and basic ideas of perceptual organization in Computer Vision. Saliency algorithms aim to nd image curves, maximizing some deterministic quality measure which grows with the length of the curve, its smoothness, and its continuity. This note proposes a modiied saliency estimation mechanism, which is based on probabilistically speciied grouping cue and on length estimation. In the context of the proposed method, the well known saliency mechanism, proposed by Shaashua and Ullman SU88] may be interpreted as a process trying to detect the curve with maximal expected length. Besides giving a new interpretation and a principled justiication to older measures, the proposed saliency mechanism is able to use diierent grouping cues and thus generalizes the scope of saliency detection to other domains, in a systematic rigorous way.

Learning Document Image Features With SqueezeNet Convolutional Neural Network

The classification of various document images is considered an important step towards building a modern digital library or office automation system. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) classifiers trained with backpropagation are considered to be the current state of the art model for this task. However, there are two major drawbacks for these classifiers: the huge computational power demand for...

Designing of a New Transformer Ground Differential Relay Based on Probabilistic Neural Network

Low- impedance transformer ground differential relay is a part of power transformer protection system that is employed for detecting the internal earth faults. This is a fast and sensitive relay, but during some external faults and inrush current conditions, may be exposed to maloperation due to current transformer (CT) saturation. In this paper, a new intelligent transformer ground differentia...

Rule-based joint fuzzy and probabilistic networks

One of the important challenges in Graphical models is the problem of dealing with the uncertainties in the problem. Among graphical networks, fuzzy cognitive map is only capable of modeling fuzzy uncertainty and the Bayesian network is only capable of modeling probabilistic uncertainty. In many real issues, we are faced with both fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. In these cases, the propo...

Compressed-Sampling-Based Image Saliency Detection in the Wavelet Domain

When watching natural scenes, an overwhelming amount of information is delivered to the Human Visual System (HVS). The optic nerve is estimated to receive around 108 bits of information a second. This large amount of information can’t be processed right away through our neural system. Visual attention mechanism enables HVS to spend neural resources efficiently, only on the selected parts of the...
