چکیده

From trivial edge-detection techniques to the use of a quadrature pair of Gabor filters, the status quo in orientation analysis entails some form of convolution over a window of interest. Although Gabor filters have increased in popularity, most likely due to its computational efficiency as well as being a viable model for the human visual system, it is not without its shortcomings. Most prominent of those are the inconsistency of orientation estimates over a range of scales, the need for a large bank of differently tuned filters to account for all possible frequency patterns, and the inherent smoothing of high gradient regions resulting from its embedded Gaussian window. This paper proposes a practical alternative to standard Gabor-type approaches that allows for the presence of multiple orientations, offers increased robustness to noise while preserving such crucial scene elements as lines and edges.

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...

Case Mix Planning using The Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution and Robust Estimation: a Case Study

Management of surgery units and operating room (OR) play key roles in optimizing the utilization of hospitals. On this line Case Mix Planning (CMP) is normally applied to long term planning of OR. This refers to allocating OR time to each patient’s group. In this paper a mathematical model is applied to optimize the allocation of OR time among surgical groups. In addition, another technique is ...

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...

The analysis of residuals variation and outliers to obtain robust response surface

In this paper, the main idea is to compute the robust regression model, derived by experimentation, in order to achieve a model with minimum effects of outliers and fixed variation among different experimental runs. Both outliers and nonequality of residual variation can affect the response surface parameter estimation. The common way to estimate the regression model coefficients is the ordinar...
