Indoor Scene Recognition Mechanism Based on Direction-Driven Convolutional Neural Networks.

Indoor location-based services constitute an important part of our daily lives, providing position and direction information about people or objects in indoor spaces. These systems can be useful in security and monitoring applications that target specific areas such as rooms. Vision-based scene recognition is the task of accurately identifying a room category from a given image.

A comparative study of semantic segmentation of omnidirectional images from a motorcycle perspective.

The semantic segmentation of omnidirectional urban driving images is a research topic that has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, because the use of such images in driving scenes is highly relevant. However, the case of motorized two-wheelers has not been treated yet. Since the dynamics of these vehicles are very different from those of cars, we focus our study on images acquired using a motorcycle.

An Evidential Framework for Localization of Sensors in Indoor Environments.

Indoor localization has several applications ranging from people tracking and indoor navigation, to autonomous robot navigation and asset tracking. We tackle the problem as a zoning localization where the objective is to determine the zone where the mobile sensor resides at any instant. The decision-making process in localization systems relies on data coming from multiple sensors.

Hyperspectral Unmixing in Presence of Endmember Variability, Nonlinearity, or Mismodeling Effects.

This paper presents three hyperspectral mixture models jointly with Bayesian algorithms for supervised hyperspectral unmixing. Based on the residual component analysis model, the proposed general formulation assumes the linear model to be corrupted by an additive term whose expression can be adapted to account for nonlinearities (NLs), endmember variability (EV), or mismodeling effects (MEs). The NL effect is introduced by considering a polynomial expression that is related to bilinear models.

Online kernel principal component analysis: a reduced-order model.

Kernel principal component analysis (kernel-PCA) is an elegant nonlinear extension of one of the most used data analysis and dimensionality reduction techniques, the principal component analysis. In this paper, we propose an online algorithm for kernel-PCA. To this end, we examine a kernel-based version of Oja's rule, initially put forward to extract a linear principal axe.

Nonlinear feature extraction using kernel principal component analysis with non-negative pre-image.

The inherent physical characteristics of many real-life phenomena, including biological and physiological aspects, require adapted nonlinear tools. Moreover, the additive nature in some situations involve solutions expressed as positive combinations of data. In this paper, we propose a nonlinear feature extraction method, with a non-negativity constraint.
