gesture and motion recognition are needed for a variety of applications. the use of human hand motions as a natural interface tool has motivated researchers to conduct research in the modeling, analysis and recognition of various hand movements. in particular, human-computer intelligent interaction has been a focus of research in vision-based gesture recognition. in this work, we introduce a 3-...

A 4D image registration method is proposed for consistent estimation of cardiac motion from MR image sequences. Under this 4D registration framework, all 3D cardiac images taken at different time-points are registered simultaneously, and motion estimated is enforced to be spatiotemporally smooth, thereby overcoming potential limitations of some methods that typically estimate cardiac deformatio...

Video magnification is a computational procedure to reveal subtle variations during video frames that are invisible to the naked eye. A new spatio-temporal method which makes use of connectivity based mapping of the wavelet sub-bands is introduced here for exaggerating of small motions during video frames. In this method, firstly the wavelet transformed frames are mapped to connectivity space a...

The aim is to provide invariant signatures for matching space curves under Euclidean motions. Semi-diierential rather than diierential invariants can be used for the description and recognition of space curves. They have the advantage of being more robust, but on the other hand introduce the problem of nding good reference points. In order to avoid a search for such points, an alternative schem...

In the present article, a numerical method is proposed for the numerical solution of the KdV equation by using a new approach by combining cubic B-spline functions. In this paper we convert the KdV equation to system of two equations. The method is shown to be unconditionally stable using von-Neumann technique. To test accuracy the error norms L2, L∞ are computed. Three invariants of motion are...
