In this paper we show a new on-line parametric model for time series forecasting based on VapnikChervonenkis (VC) theory. Using the strong connection between support vector machines (SVM) and Regularization theory (RT), we propose a regularization operator in order to obtain a suitable expansion of radial basis functions (RBFs) with the corresponding expressions for updating neural parameters. ...

This paper describes an approach for the problem of face pose discrimination using Support Vector Machines (SVM). Face pose discrimination means that one can label the face image as one of several known poses. Face images are drawn from the standard FERET data base. The training set consists of 150 images equally distributed among frontal, approximately 33.75 rotated left and right poses, respe...

In this article an attempt is made to study the applicability of a general purpose, supervised feed forward neural network with one hidden layer, namely. Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network. It uses relatively smaller number of locally tuned units and is adaptive in nature. RBFs are suitable for pattern recognition and classification. Performance of the RBF neural network was also compar...

This paper presents a new cooperative-coevolutive algorithm for the design of Radial Basis Function Networks (RBFNs) for classification problems. The algorithm promotes a coevolutive environment where each individual represents a radial basis function (RBF) and the entire population is responsible for the final solution. As credit assignment three quality factors are considered which measure th...

A Neural Network (NN) using Normalised Radial Basis Functions (NRBF) is used for encoding the sequence of positions forming the path of an autonomous wheelchair. The network operates by continuously producing the next position for the wheelchair. As the path passes several times over the same point, additional phase information is added to the position information. This avoids the aliasing prob...

We introduce radial basis functions with compact support for elastic registration of medical images. With these basis functions the influence of a landmark on the registration result is limited to a circle in 2D and, respectively, to a sphere in 3D. Therefore, the registration can be locally constrained which especially allows to deal with rather local changes in medical images due to, e.g., tu...

The main purpose of the proposed technique is to allow a blendshape rig to create facial expressions that are independent from the underlying blendshape poses. [JTDP03] proposed an automatic segmentation technique to divide the face into regions that have similar amount of deformation. Each region finds its best blendshape weights that conforms to the motion capture data and then propagates the...

Partial differential equations (PDEs) on surfaces arise in a variety of application areas including biological systems, medical imaging, fluid dynamics, mathematical physics, image processing and computer graphics. In this paper, we propose a radial basis function (RBF) discretization of the closest point method. The corresponding localized meshless method may be used to approximate diffusion o...
