Greedy Approximation Of Kernel Pca By Minimizing The Mapping Error, Peng Cheng, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona Sep 2012

Greedy Approximation Of Kernel Pca By Minimizing The Mapping Error, Peng Cheng, Wanqing Li, Philip Ogunbona

Professor Philip Ogunbona

In this paper we propose a new kernel PCA (KPCA) speed-up algorithm that aims to find a reduced KPCA to approximate the kernel mapping. The algorithm works by greedily choosing a subset of the training samples that minimizes the mean square error of the kernel mapping between the original KPCA and the reduced KPCA. Experimental results have shown that the proposed algorithm is more efficient in computation and effective with lower mapping errors than previous algorithms.

Detecting Humans Under Occlusion Using Variational Mean Field Method, Duc Thanh Nguyen, Philip Ogunbona, Wanqing Li

Professor Philip Ogunbona

This paper proposes a human detection method using variational mean field approximation for occlusion reasoning. In the method, parts of human objects are detected individually using template matching. Initial detection hypotheses with spatial layout information are represented in a graphical model and refined through a Bayesian estimation. In this paper, mean field method is employed for such an estimation. The proposed method was evaluated on the popular CAVIAR-INRIA dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is able to detect humans in severe occlusion within reasonable processing time.
