Using Mutual Information To Combine Object Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a randomized method for combining diierent object models. By determining a connguration of the models, which maximizes their mutual information, the proposed method creates a uniied hypothesis from multiple object models on the y, without prior training. To validate the eeectiveness of the proposed method, experiments are conducted in which human faces are detected and localized in images by combining diierent face models.

Prediction of fragmentation due to blasting using mutual information and rock engineering system; case study: Meydook copper mine
One of the key outcomes of blasting in mines is found to be rock fragmentation which profoundly affects downstream expenses. In fact, size prediction of rock fragmentation is the first leap towards the optimization of blasting design parameters. This paper makes an attempt to present a model to predict rock fragmentation using Mutual Information (MI) in Meydook copper mine. Ten parameters are c...
متن کاملObject-Oriented Method for Automatic Extraction of Road from High Resolution Satellite Images
As the information carried in a high spatial resolution image is not represented by single pixels but by meaningful image objects, which include the association of multiple pixels and their mutual relations, the object based method has become one of the most commonly used strategies for the processing of high resolution imagery. This processing comprises two fundamental and critical steps towar...
متن کاملHierarchical Combination of Object Models using Mutual Information
Combining different and complementary object models promises to increase the robustness and generality of today’s computer vision algorithms. This paper introduces a new method for combining different object models by determining a configuration of the models which maximizes their mutual information. The combination scheme consequently creates a unified hypothesis from multiple object models “o...
متن کاملEstimating Object Region from Local Contour Configuration
In this paper, we explore ways to combine boundary information and region segmentation to estimate regions corresponding to foreground objects. Boundary information is used to generate an object likelihood image which encodes the likelihood that each pixel belongs to a foreground object. This is done by combining evidence gathered from a large number of boundary fragments on training images by ...
متن کاملView-based Shape Similarity using Mutual Information Spheres
We present a new method for computing the shape similarity between 3D polygonal models using an informationtheoretic viewpoint selection framework. Given a 3D model, a sphere of viewpoints surrounding this model is used to obtain its shape signature from the mutual information of each viewpoint. This signature represents the essence of the shape from a view-based approach. Then, in order to qua...
