Hierarchical Gaussian Mixture Model
Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) are a convenient and essential tool for the estimation of probability density functions. Although GMMs are used in many research domains from image ...

Visual Tracking Based on Color Kernel Densities of Spatial Awareness
We propose a kernel-density based scheme that incorporates the object colors with their spatial relevance to track the object in a video sequence. The object is modeled by the col...

Sparse Multiscale Patches for Image Processing
Abstract. This paper presents a framework to define an objective measure of the similarity (or dissimilarity) between two images for image processing. The problem is twofold: 1) de...

Robust 3D Segmentation of Anatomical Structures with Level Sets
This paper is focused on the use of the level set formalism to segment anatomical structures in 3D images (ultrasound ou magnetic resonance images). A closed 3D surface propagates...

Bit-Width Selection for Data-Path Implementations
Specifications of data computations may not necessarily describe the ranges of the intermediate results that can be generated. However, such information is critical to determine t...

ICA Using Kernel Entropy Estimation with NlogN Complexity
Abstract. Mutual information (MI) is a common criterion in independent component analysis (ICA) optimization. MI is derived from probability density functions (PDF). There are scen...

Blind separation of statistically independent signals with mixed sub-Gaussian and super-Gaussian probability distributions
— In the context of Independent Component Analysis (ICA), we propose a simple method for online estimation of activation functions in order to blindly separate instantaneous mixt...

Pairwise Symmetry Decomposition Method for Generalized Covariance Analysis
We propose a new theoretical framework for generalizing the traditional notion of covariance. First, we discuss the role of pairwise cross-cumulants by introducing a cluster expan...
