Optimising Two-Stage Recognition Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A typical recognition system consists of a sequential combination of two experts, called a detector and classifier respectively. The two stages are usually designed independently, but we show that this may be suboptimal due to interaction between the stages. In this paper we consider the two stages holistically, as components of a multiple classifier system. This allows for an optimal design that accounts for such interaction. An ROC-based analysis is developed that facilitates the study of the inter-stage interaction, and an analytic example is then used to compare independently designing each stage to a holistically optimised system, based on cost. The benefit of the proposed analysis is demonstrated practically via a number of experiments. The extension to any number of classes is discussed, highlighting the computational challenges, as well as its application in an imprecise environment.

The interaction between classification and reject performance for distance-based reject-option classifiers
Consider the class of problems in which a target class is well defined, and an outlier class is ill-defined. In these cases new outlier classes can appear, or the classconditional distribution of the outlier class itself may be poorly sampled. A strategy to deal with this problem involves a two-stage classifier, in which one stage is designed to perform discrimination between known classes, and...

Design of a new intelligent driver assistance system based on traffic sign detection with Persian context is concerned in this paper. The primary aim of this system is to increase the precision of drivers in choosing their path with regard to traffic signs. To achieve this goal, a new framework that implements fuzzy logic was used to detect traffic signs in videos captured along a highway f...

متن کاملTwo-stage Production Systems under Variable Returns to Scale Technology: A DEA Approach
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a non-parametric approach for performance analysis of decision making units (DMUs) which uses a set of inputs to produce a set of outputs without the need to consider internal operations of each unit. In recent years, there have been various studies dealt with two-stage production systems, i.e. systems which consume some inputs in their first stage to produce ...

This paper addresses the problem of degradation of speech recognition systems in presence of additive noise like automobile noise. Achieving reliable performance for a speech recognizer is very important for developing usable speech recognition enabled systems. A novel technique is proposed which removes noise in two filtering stages where the first stage whitens the colored noise while preserv...
