Real-time indoor scene description for the visually impaired using autoencoder fusion strategies with visible cameras

This paper describes three coarse image description strategies, which are meant to promote a rough perception of surrounding objects for visually impaired individuals, with application to indoor spaces. The described algorithms operate on images (grabbed by the user, by means of a chest-mounted camera), and provide in output a list of objects that likely exist in his context across the indoor scene. In this regard, first, different colour, texture, and shape-based feature extractors are gener...

A Dense Phase Descriptor for Human Ear Recognition

Ear print is an imminent biometric modality that has been attracting increasing attention in the biometric community. However, compared with well-established modalities, such as face and fingerprints, a limited number of contributions has been offered on ear imaging. Moreover, only several studies address the aspect of ear characterization (i.e., feature design). In this respect, in this paper, we propose a novel descriptor for ear recognition. The proposed descriptor, namely, dense local pha...

Land-Use Classification with Compressive Sensing Multifeature Fusion

In this letter, we formulate a land-use (LU) classification problem within a compressive sensing (CS) fusion framework. CS aims at providing a compact representation form after a given query image has been processed with an opportune feature extraction type. In particular, residuals are generated from the image reconstruction with dictionaries associated with the available set of possible LUs and gathered to form a single-feature image pattern. The patterns obtained from different types of fe...

Person re-identification by order-induced metric fusion

This paper presents a novel two-pronged framework for person re-identification. Its idea articulates over the fact that distinct descriptors manifest different ranking scores for the same probe pattern. Thus, if conveniently fused, the descriptors in hand are ought to compensate each other, leading to significant improvements. In this respect, this paper proposes a learning-free weighting method that penalizes and averages the re-identification estimates (e.g., distances) pointed out by diffe...

Decomposing global solar radiation into its diffuse and direct normal radiation

This work presents a model based on Radial Basis Function (RBF) to estimate the diffused solar radiation (DSR) and direct normal radiation (DNR) fractions of solar radiation from global solar radiation in a semiarid area in Algeria based on a database measured between 2013 and 2015. The data has been collected at Applied Research Unit for Renewable Energies, (URAER) at Ghardaia city situated in the south of Algeria. The experimental results show that RBF model estimates DNR and DSR with high ...
