In this paper, a hybrid feature extraction technique using 2D principal component analysis (2DPCA) and discrete orthogonal Krawtchouk moment (KM) are used to extract the global and local features from the face. Ensemble of RBF classifiers are used to classify the image. Decision-level fusion is done using fuzzy integral to generate more accurate classification than each of the constituent classifiers. The proposed system is evaluated using ORL and YALE databases. Experimental results show that the combination of global and local features promotes the system performance. The fusion of multiple RBFs using fuzzy integral performed better as compared to conventional aggregation rules.

In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for facial recognition based on features fusion in support vector machine (SVM). First, some local features and global features from pre-processed face images are obtained. The global features are obtained by making use of singular value decomposition (SVD). At the same time, the local features are obtained by utilizing principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the principal Gabor features. Finally, the feature vectors which are fused with global and local features are used to train SVM to realize the face expression recognition, and the computer simulation illustrates the effectivity of this method on the JAFFE database.

In this paper, we design method for recognition of fingerprint and IRIS using feature level fusion and decision level fusion in Children multimodal biometric system. Initially, Histogram of Gradients (HOG), Gabour and Maximum filter response are extracted from both the domains of fingerprint and IRIS and considered for identification accuracy. The combination of feature vector of all the possible features is recommended by biometrics traits of fusion. For fusion vector the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to select features. The reduced features are fed into fusion classifier of K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Navie Bayes(NB). For children multimodal biometric system the suitable combination of features and fusion classifiers is identified. The experimentation conducted on children’s fingerprint and IRIS database and results reveal that fusion combination outperforms individual. In addition the proposed model advances the unimodal biometrics system.

Level Fusion

This paper proposes hybrid approaches based on both feature level and score level fusion strategies to provide a robust recognition system against the distortions of individual modalities. In order to compare the proposed schemes, a virtual multimodal database is formed from FERET face and PolyU palmprint databases. The proposed hybrid systems concatenate features extracted by local and global feature extraction methods such as Local Binary Patterns, Log Gabor, Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis. Match score level fusion is performed in order to show the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed schemes. The experimental results based on these databases reported a significant improvement of the proposed schemes compared with unimodal systems and other multimodal face–palmprint fusion methods.

In the proposed chapter, a novel, effective, and efficient approach to face recognition is presented. It is a fusion of both global and local features of images, which significantly achieves higher recognition. Initially, the global features of images are determined using polar cosine transforms (PCTs), which exhibit very less computation complexity as compared to other global feature extractors. For local features, the rotation invariant local ternary patterns are used rather than using the existing ones, which help improving the recognition rate and are in alignment with the rotation invariant property of PCTs. The fusion of both acquired global and local features is performed by mapping their features into a common domain. Finally, the proposed hybrid approach provides a robust feature set for face recognition. The experiments are performed on benchmark face databases, representing various expressions of facial images. The results of extensive set of experiments reveal the supremacy of the proposed method over other approaches in terms of efficiency and recognition results.

Reef restoration via direct outplanting of sexually propagated juvenile corals is a key strategy in preserving coral reef ecosystem function in the face of global and local stressors (e.g. ocean warming). To advance our capacity to scale and maximize the efficiency of restoration initiatives, we examined how abiotic conditions (i.e. larval rearing temperature, substrate condition, light intensity, and flow rate) interact to enhance post-settlement survival and growth of sexually propagated juvenile Montipora capitata. Larvae were reared at 3 temperatures (high: 28.9°C, ambient: 27.2°C, low: 24.5°C) for 72 h during larval development, and were subsequently settled on aragonite plugs conditioned in seawater (1 or 10 wk) and raised in different light and flow regimes. These juvenile corals underwent a natural bleaching event in Kāne‘ohe Bay, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i (USA), in summer 2019, allowing us to opportunistically measure bleaching response in addition to survivorship and growth. This study demonstrates how leveraging light and flow can increase the survivorship and growth of juvenile M. capitata. In contrast, larval preconditioning and substrate conditioning had little overall effect on survivorship, growth, or bleaching response. Importantly, there was no optimal combination of abiotic conditions that maximized survival and growth in addition to bleaching tolerances. This study highlights the ability to tailor sexual reproduction for specific restoration goals by addressing knowledge gaps and incorporating practices that could improve resilience in propagated stocks.

Images captured in a real scene usually suffer from complex non-uniform degradation, which includes both global and local blurs. It is difficult to handle the complex blur variances by a unified processing model. We propose a global-local blur disentangling network, which can effectively extract global and local blur features via two branches. A phased training scheme is designed to disentangle the global and local blur features, that is the branches are trained with task-specific datasets, respectively. A branch attention mechanism is introduced to dynamically fuse global and local features. Complex blurry images are used to train the attention module and the reconstruction module. The visualized feature maps of different branches indicated that our dual-branch network can decouple the global and local blur features efficiently. Experimental results show that the proposed dual-branch blur disentangling network can improve both the subjective and objective deblurring effects for real captured images.

In this research, a hybrid approach for path planning of autonomous ships that generates both global and local paths, respectively, is proposed. The global path is obtained via an improved artificial potential field (APF) method, which makes up for the shortcoming that the typical APF method easily falls into a local minimum. A modified velocity obstacle (VO) method that incorporates the closest point of approach (CPA) model and the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS), based on the typical VO method, can be used to get the local path. The contribution of this research is two-fold: (1) improvement of the typical APF and VO methods, making up for previous shortcomings, and integrated COLREGS rules and good seamanship, making the paths obtained more in line with navigation practice; (2) the research included global and local path planning, considering both the safety and maneuverability of the ship in the process of avoiding collision, and studied the whole process of avoiding collision in a relatively entirely way. A case study was then conducted to test the proposed approach in different situations. The results indicate that the proposed approach can find both global and local paths to avoid the target ship.

AbstractIn this paper, we propose a hybrid super-resolution method by combining global and local dictionary training in the sparse domain. In order to present and differentiate the feature mapping in different scales, a global dictionary set is trained in multiple structure scales, and a non-linear function is used to choose the appropriate dictionary to initially reconstruct the HR image. In addition, we introduce the Gaussian blur to the LR images to eliminate a widely used but inappropriate assumption that the low resolution (LR) images are generated by bicubic interpolation from high-resolution (HR) images. In order to deal with Gaussian blur, a local dictionary is generated and iteratively updated by K-means principal component analysis (K-PCA) and gradient decent (GD) to model the blur effect during the down-sampling. Compared with the state-of-the-art SR algorithms, the experimental results reveal that the proposed method can produce sharper boundaries and suppress undesired artifacts with the present of Gaussian blur. It implies that our method could be more effect in real applications and that the HR-LR mapping relation is more complicated than bicubic interpolation.
