Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, the combination of these two types of images leads to better understanding of  the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images are really in distinguishing targets from the background based on the radiation differences and  land surface temperature (LST) calculation. However, their spatial resolu...

Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...

Due to the differences between the visible and thermal infrared images, combination of these two types of images is essential for better understanding the characteristics of targets and the environment. Thermal infrared images have most importance to distinguish targets from the background based on the radiation differences, which work well in all-weather and day/night conditions also in land s...

With the growth of demand for security and safety, video-based surveillance systems have been employed in a large number of rural and urban areas. The problem of such systems lies in the detection of patterns of behaviors in a dataset that do not conform to normal behaviors. Recently, for behavior classification and abnormal behavior detection, the sparse representation approach is used. In thi...

In this paper, a sparse representation based manifold learning method is proposed. The construction of the graph manifold in high dimensional space is the most important step of the manifold learning methods that is divided into local and gobal groups. The proposed graph manifold extracts local and global features, simultanstly. After construction the sparse representation based graph manifold,...

In this paper, a new method for image denoising based on incoherent dictionary learning and domain transfer technique is proposed. The idea of using sparse representation concept is one of the most interesting areas for researchers. The goal of sparse coding is to approximately model the input data as a weighted linear combination of a small number of basis vectors. Two characteristics should b...
