This paper presents a novel method for interest region description. We adopted the idea that the appearance of an interest region can be well characterized by the distribution of its local features. The most well-known descriptor built on this idea is the SIFT descriptor that uses gradient as the local feature. Thus far, existing texture features are not widely utilized in the context of region...

In this paper a contour matching based face recognition system is proposed, which uses “Fourier Descriptor of contour” for identification of faces. The feasibility of using contour and FD’s matching for human face identification is presented through experiment. The Fourier descriptor is used to describe the boundary of a shape in 2 dimensional space.The advantage of using the Fourier descriptor...

automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. however, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. in this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (ldp), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. an ldp feat...

Using the modern time-series analysis method in the time domain, based on the autoregressive moving average (ARMA) innovation model and white noise estimator, non-regular descriptor discrete-time stochastic linear systems are researched. Under assumption 1~3, an asymptotically stable reduced-order Wiener state estimator for descriptor systems is given by using projection and block matrix theori...

We propose a novel local nearest neighbor distance (LNND) descriptor for anomaly detection in crowded scenes. Comparing with the commonly used low-level feature descriptors in previous works, LNND descriptor has two major advantages. First, LNND descriptor efficiently incorporates spatial and temporal contextual information around the video event that is important for detecting anomalous intera...

In this paper the problem of sliding mode control (SMC) for a class of uncertain (TS) fuzzy descriptor systems with time-varying delay is studied. An integral-type sliding function is proposed and a delay-dependent criterion is developed in terms of linear matrix inequality (LMI), which ensures the sliding mode dynamics to be robustly admissible with generalized H2 disturbance rejection level. ...

Descriptor systems with inequality (unilateral) constraints may have singularities (impasse points) if the set of active constraints changes in the time interval of interest. A typical example are contact conditions in constrained mechanical systems that can be formulated as unilateral constraints for the position and velocity coordinates. We discuss these singularities in detail for a simple m...

This paper presents a new theoretical approach for the description of multidimensional objects for which 3D and 4D are particular cases. The approach is based on a curved space which is associated to each object. This curved space is characterised by Riemannian tensors from which invariant quantities are defined. A descriptor or index is constructed from those invariants for which statistical a...

A new theory that qualitatively and quantitatively describes shape is presented. Signals are treated as ordered sets and shape as a property of the order. Measures of shape are derived starting from simple two element sets. It is shown that the degree of asymmetry or relative contrast at various scales is a sufficient descriptor of shape. The shape of a signal is a composite of the shape of all...

In this paper we propose a generalized complex networks model, which concerns asymmetric network configuration including both neutral-type coupling delay and retarded-type one. The synchronization problem of this generalized complex networks is reformulated into the asymptotical stability problem of neutral delay functional differential equations. By introducing descriptor system transformation...
