Modeling Covariance Matrices in Multitemporal Temperature Feature Spaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multitemporal thermal imagery in conjunction with a diurnal temperature model provides a well-known means to derive physical properties of the earth’s surface. Classification applications based on such data sets can be used for clustering image pixels with similar heating behaviour. For that purpose, the covariance matrix which describes the mutual dependence of the used features (i.e. temperature values measured at different times of a day) provides an important source of information. In this study we investigate the effect of Gaussian distributed surface properties (thermal inertia, humidity and albedo) on covariance matrices in multitemporal temperature feature spaces with the aid of a diurnal temperature model [1], [2]. The results are compared with experimental findings.

Discriminatively trained sparse inverse covariance matrices for low resource acoustic modeling
We propose a method to discriminatively train acoustic models with sparse inverse covariance (precision) matrices in order to improve the model robustness when training data is insufficient. Acoustic models with sparse inverse covariance matrices were previously proposed to address the problem of over-fitting when training data is inadequate. Since many of the entries of the inverse covariance ...
متن کاملDimensional reduction, covariance modeling, and computational complexity in ASR systems
In this paper, we study acoustic modeling for speech recognition using mixtures of exponential models with linear and quadratic features tied across all context dependent states. These models are one version of the SPAM models introduced in [1]. They generalize diagonal covariance, MLLT, EMLLT, and full covariance models. Reduction of the dimension of the acoustic vectors using LDA/HDA projecti...
متن کاملLevel set segmentation using image second order statistics
This paper proposes a novel level set based image segmentation method by use of image second statistics and logarithmic Euclidean metric. Different from previous tensor based image segmentation approaches, the proposed method adopts covariance feature as region-level descriptor rather than pixel-level one. On the basis of feature image, we utilize second order statistics of image feature, i.e.,...
متن کاملExploiting Feature Covariance in High-Dimensional Online Learning
Some online algorithms for linear classification model the uncertainty in their weights over the course of learning. Modeling the full covariance structure of the weights can provide a significant advantage for classification. However, for high-dimensional, largescale data, even though there may be many second-order feature interactions, it is computationally infeasible to maintain this covaria...
متن کاملModeling inverse covariance matrices by expansion of tied basis matrices for online handwritten Chinese character recognition
The state-of-the-art modified quadratic discriminant function (MQDF) based approach for online handwritten Chinese character recognition (HCCR) assumes that the feature vectors of each character class can be modeled by a Gaussian distribution with a mean vector and a full covariance matrix. In order to achieve a high recognition accuracy, enough number of leading eigenvectors of the covariance ...
