Exploiting Cross Domain Relationships For Target Recognition, Wei Wang Dec 2015

Exploiting Cross Domain Relationships For Target Recognition, Wei Wang

Doctoral Dissertations

Cross domain recognition extracts knowledge from one domain to recognize samples from another domain of interest. The key to solving problems under this umbrella is to find out the latent connections between different domains. In this dissertation, three different cross domain recognition problems are studied by exploiting the relationships between different domains explicitly according to the specific real problems.

First, the problem of cross view action recognition is studied. The same action might seem quite different when observed from different viewpoints. Thus, how to use the training samples from a given camera view and perform recognition in another new view …


Bayesian Dictionary Learning For Single And Coupled Feature Spaces, Li He Dec 2013

Bayesian Dictionary Learning For Single And Coupled Feature Spaces, Li He

Doctoral Dissertations

Over-complete bases offer the flexibility to represent much wider range of signals with more elementary basis atoms than signal dimension. The use of over-complete dictionaries for sparse representation has been a new trend recently and has increasingly become recognized as providing high performance for applications such as denoise, image super-resolution, inpaiting, compression, blind source separation and linear unmixing. This dissertation studies the dictionary learning for single or coupled feature spaces and its application in image restoration tasks. A Bayesian strategy using a beta process prior is applied to solve both problems.

Firstly, we illustrate how to generalize the existing beta …
