چکیده

The determination of displacement vectors is an important task in the context of temporal image sequence analysis, as well as in stereoscopic vision. The relations between images taken from an image sequence or a stereo pair are conceptually represented by a displacement vector field which establishes a pairwise correspondence between points in both regarded images. Most approaches for the determination of displacement vector fields include a first step, where individual measurements of local displacements are performed. Often these initial measurements are subsequently combined in a way that exploits a priori knowledge, e.g. using spatial smoothness constraints for the resulting vector field. However, the very first step, i.e. the determination of individual displacement vectors is a process whose results are in general afflicted by errors. The extent and specific type of error that is to be expected varies largely between the different displacement vectors, as the reliability is largely dependent on the local characteristics of the image signal. If reliability or accuracy measures can be assigned to these estimates, this is advantageous compared to the approach of detecting and suppressing erroneous measurements (’outliers’) in subsequent processing steps. The present contribution is oriented towards the joint estimation of individual displacement vectors and their corresponding reliability measures. Extending the results of Singh and Allen [1], these estimation theoretic relations can be fully derived from a statistical image model.

Bayes, E-Bayes and Robust Bayes Premium Estimation and Prediction under the Squared Log Error Loss Function

In risk analysis based on Bayesian framework, premium calculation requires specification of a prior distribution for the risk parameter in the heterogeneous portfolio. When the prior knowledge is vague, the E-Bayesian and robust Bayesian analysis can be used to handle the uncertainty in specifying the prior distribution by considering a class of priors instead of a single prior. In th...

A Robust Distributed Estimation Algorithm under Alpha-Stable Noise Condition

Robust adaptive estimation of unknown parameter has been an important issue in recent years for reliable operation in the distributed networks. The conventional adaptive estimation algorithms that rely on mean square error (MSE) criterion exhibit good performance in the presence of Gaussian noise, but their performance drastically decreases under impulsive noise. In this paper, we propose a rob...

Support vector regression for prediction of gas reservoirs permeability

Reservoir permeability is a critical parameter for characterization of the hydrocarbon reservoirs. In fact, determination of permeability is a crucial task in reserve estimation, production and development. Traditional methods for permeability prediction are well log and core data analysis which are very expensive and time-consuming. Well log data is an alternative approach for prediction of pe...

An Improved Motion Vector Estimation Approach for Video Error Concealment Based on the Video Scene Analysis

In order to enhance the accuracy of the motion vector (MV) estimation and also reduce the error propagation issue during the estimation, in this paper, a new adaptive error concealment (EC) approach is proposed based on the information extracted from the video scene. In this regard, the motion information of the video scene around the degraded MB is first analyzed to estimate the motion type of...

Discrete time robust control of robot manipulators in the task space using adaptive fuzzy estimator

This paper presents a discrete-time robust control for electrically driven robot manipulators in the task space. A novel discrete-time model-free control law is proposed by employing an adaptive fuzzy estimator for the compensation of the uncertainty including model uncertainty, external disturbances and discretization error. Parameters of the fuzzy estimator are adapted to minimize the estimat...
