Abstract:

Nowadays, Barton’s Joint Roughness Coefficients (JRC) are widely used as the index for roughness and as a challenging fracture property. When JRC ranking is the goal, deriving JRC from different fractal/wavelet procedures can be conflicting. Complexity increases when various rankings outcome from different calculation methods. Therefore, using Barton’s JRC, we cannot make a decision based on the proven mathematical theories because each method has a different rank. Ideally, these rankings must be equal but, in practice, they are different for each method. To solve this problem and to achieve a robust and valid ranking for JRC, Condorcetand Borda count methods have been used. These methods have been proposed as fusion approaches. Re-ranking of JRC using different methods integrated with Condorcet showed confusion in ranking of the JRC4, JRC5, and JRC6 profiles. This ambiguity is equal to equalizing decision conditions about all the three at the examination of the winners, losers, and draws in pairwise matrices. Therefore, Borda Count was applied and resulted in robust rankings. In fact, a new approach for a roughness measurement is presented. A new JRC ranking called JRCN is introduced. This new ranking shows a lower sum of squared errors (0.00390) in comparison with the original JRC ranking method (0.00410) and ranked JRCN1 to JRCN10. Thus it is proposed to consider JRCN as a new and improved version of JRC rankings.

Image Steganalysis Based on Co-Occurrences of Integer Wavelet Coefficients

We present a steganalysis scheme for LSB matching steganography based on feature vectors extracted from integer wavelet transform (IWT). In integer wavelet decomposition of an image, the coefficients will be integer, so we can calculate co-occurrence matrix of them without rounding the coefficients. Before calculation of co-occurrence matrices, we clip some of the most significant bitplanes of ...

Fusion of Daubechies Wavelet Coefficients for Human Face Recognition

In this paper fusion of visual and thermal images in wavelet transformed domain has been presented. Here, Daubechies wavelet transform, called as D2, coefficients from visual and corresponding coefficients computed in the same manner from thermal images are combined to get fused coefficients. After decomposition up to fifth level (Level 5) fusion of coefficients is done. Inverse Daubechies wave...

Local fusion of complex dual-tree wavelet coefficients based face recognition for single sample problem

In this paper, we propose a novel face recognition method for the one sample problem. This approach is based on local appearance feature extraction using directional multiresolution decomposition offered by dual tree complex wavelet transform (DT-CWT). It provides a local multiscale description of images with good directional selectivity, effective edge representation and invariance to shifts a...

Query Based Adaptive Re-ranking for Person Re-identification

Existing algorithms for person re-identification hardly model query variations across non-overlapping cameras. In this paper, we propose a query based adaptive re-ranking method to address this important issue. In our work, negative image pairs can be easily generated for each query under non-overlapping cameras. To infer query variations across cameras, nearest neighbors of the query positive ...
