Obtaining an accurate vehicle position is important for intelligent vehicles in supporting driver safety and comfort. This paper proposes an accurate ego-localization method by matching in-vehicle camera images to an aerial image. There are two major problems in performing an accurate matching: (1) image difference between the aerial image and the in-vehicle camera image due to view-point and i...

In pattern recognition applications with high number of input features and insufficient number of samples, the curse of dimensionality can be overcome by extracting features from smaller feature subsets. The domain knowledge, for example, can be used to group some of the features together, which are also known as “views”. The features extracted from views can later be combined (i.e. stacking) t...

A method for obtaining two dimensional fields of wave breaking energy dissipation in the surfzone is presented. The method relies on acquiring geometrical parameters of the wave roller from remote sensing data. These parameters are then coupled with a dissipation model to obtain time averaged two dimensional maps, but also the wave breaking energy dissipation on a wave-by-wave basis. Comparison...

A large number of features have been proposed by researchers for on-line signature verification. However, little work has been done in measuring the consistency and discriminative power of these features. This paper presents a comparative study of features commonly used in on-line signature verification. A consistency model is developed by generalizing the existing feature-based measure to dist...

We present a week of observations of wave dissipation on the south forereef of Palmyra Atoll. Using wave measurements made in 6.2m and 11.2m of water offshore of the surf zone, we computed energy fluxes and near-bottom velocity. Equating the divergence of the shoreward energy flux to its dissipation by bottom friction and parameterizating dissipation in terms of the root-mean-square velocity cu...
