چکیده

Smile detection is a sub-problem of facial expression recognition field, which has attracted more and more interests from researchers because of its wide application market. As for smile detection problem itself, the ‘wild’ unconstrained scenario is more challenging than the laboratory constrained scenario. Therefore, in this paper, we mainly focus on solving smile detection problem in unconstrained scenarios. To this end, a new descriptor, Self-Similarity of Gradients (GSS), is proposed. Inspired by Self-Similarity on Color channels (CSS) feature in pedestrian detection area, GSS can effectively describe the similarities in a HOG feature map, while these similarities are useful and helpful for constructing a high-performance practical smile detector. Moreover, since a smile detector using multiple features and multiple classifiers simultaneously shows superior performance, they are also adopted by us. Finally, experimental results indicate that the combined features (HOG31+GSS+Raw pixel) using AdaBoost with linear Extreme Learning Machines (ELM) achieve improved performance over the state-of-the-arts on the real-world smile dataset (GENKI-4K).

New Pseudo-CT Generation Approach from Magnetic Resonance Imaging using a Local Texture Descriptor

Background: One of the challenges of PET/MRI combined systems is to derive an attenuation map to correct the PET image. For that, the pseudo-CT image could be used to correct the attenuation. Until now, most existing scientific researches construct this pseudo-CT image using the registration techniques. However, these techniques suffer from the local minima of the non-rigid deformation energy f...

Role of smile correction in mineral detection on hyperion data

This work aims to extract the mineralogical constituents of the Lahroud Hyperion scene situated in the NW of Iran. Like the other push-broom sensors, Hyperion images suffer from spectral distortions, namely the smile effect. The corresponding spectral curvature is defined as an across-track wavelength shift from the nominal central wavelength, and alters the pixel spectra. The common “column me...
