  abstract = {We present a resolution-invariant image
                  representation (RIIR) framework in this paper. The
                  RIIR framework includes the methods of building a
                  set of multi-resolution bases from training images,
                  estimating the optimal sparse resolution-invariant
                  representation of any image, and reconstructing the
                  missing patches of any resolution level. As the
                  proposed RIIR framework has many potential
                  resolution enhancement applications, we discuss
                  three novel image magnification applications in this
                  paper. In the first application, we apply the RIIR
                  framework to perform Multi-Scale Image Magnification
                  where we also introduced a training strategy to
                  built a compact RIIR set. In the second application,
                  the RIIR framework is extended to conduct Continuous
                  Image Scaling where a new base at any resolution
                  level can be generated using existing RIIR set on
                  the fly. In the third application, we further apply
                  the RIIR framework onto Content-Base Automatic
                  Zooming applications. The experimental results show
                  that in all these applications, our RIIR based
                  method outperforms existing methods in various

                  unsafe states of a system whose basic realtime
                  parameters are captured by multi-sensors. Our
                  approach is to learn a danger level function which
                  can be used to alert the users in advance of
                  dangerous situations. The main challenge to this
                  learning problem is the labelling issue, i.e., it is
                  difficult to assign an objective danger level at
                  each time step to the training data, except at the
                  collapse points where a penalty can be assigned and
                  at the successful ends where a certain reward can be
                  assigned. In this paper, we treat the danger level
                  as expected future reward (penalty is regarded as
                  negative reward) and use temporal difference (TD)
                  learning [2] to learn a function to approximate the
                  expected future reward. The TD learning obtains the
                  approximation by propagating the penalty/reward
                  observable at collapse points or successful ends to
                  the entire feature space following some
                  constraints. Our approach is applied to, but not
                  limited to, the application of monitoring of driving
                  safety and the experimental results demonstrate the
                  effectiveness of the approach.},

  abstract = {This paper addresses the problem of recovering 3D
                  human pose from a single monocular image, using a
                  discriminative bag-of-words approach. In previous
                  work, the visual words are learned by unsupervised
                  clustering algorithms. They capture the most common
                  patterns and are good features for coarse-grain
                  recognition tasks like object classification. But
                  for those tasks which deal with subtle differences
                  such as pose estimation, such representation may
                  lack the needed discriminative power. In this paper,
                  we propose to jointly learn the visual words and the
                  pose regressors in a supervised manner. More
                  specifically, we learn an individual distance metric
                  for each visual word to optimize the pose estimation
                  performance. The learned metrics rescale the visual
                  words to suppress unimportant dimensions such as
                  those corresponding to background. Another
                  contribution is that we design an appearance and
                  position context (APC) local descriptor that
                  achieves both selectivity and invariance while
                  requiring no background subtraction. We test our
                  approach on both a quasi-synthetic dataset and a
                  real dataset (HumanEva) to verify its
                  effectiveness. Our approach also achieves fast
                  computational speed thanks to the integral
                  histograms used in APC descriptor extraction and
                  fast inference of pose regressors.},

  abstract = {The paper attempted the recognition of multiple
                  drivers’ emotional state from physiological
                  signals. The major challenge of the research is due
                  to the severe inter-driver variation such that the
                  features of different emotional state are high
                  correlated, and it is found that simple
                  decorrelation method cannot normalize the features
                  well to achieve acceptable classification
                  accuracy. Hence, in this paper, we propose to apply
                  a latent variable to represent the hidden attribute
                  of individual driver and use statistical
                  training. In addition, we applied temporal
                  constraints for the inference process to improve the
                  recognition accuracy. Experimental results show that
                  the proposed method outperform existing algorithms
                  used for emotional state recognition.},

  abstract = {Segmentation of video objects from background is a
                  popular computer vision topic and has many important
                  applications. Most existing methods are either
                  computationally expensive or requiring manual
                  initialization, static cameras, and/or rigid
                  scenes. In a previous work, we proposed a joint
                  spatio-temporal linear regression algorithm to
                  automatically cluster the sparse edge/corner pixels
                  in each video frame and obtain two motion models for
                  the object and background respectively. To label the
                  rest pixels for object segmentation, in this paper,
                  we propose to model the Optical-Flow residual error,
                  color intensity residual error and temporal label
                  consistency features, as well as color/edge
                  orientation consistency constrains, in a graph, and
                  apply the Graph-Cut algorithm to minimize the energy
                  of the graph to obtain an optimal segmentation of
                  the two motion layers boundaries. Finally the object
                  layer is identified from the two using simple
                  heuristics. Experimental segmentation result with
                  videos taken by webcams is promising.},

                  interpolated image to improve its perceptual
                  quality. A low-resolution input image is firstly
                  interpolated and then decomposed into several
                  patches. Each patch is then segmented into multiple
                  homogenous regions using Connected Component
                  Analysis technique. Then a spatial-filter is applied
                  to enhance the color/intensity transition between
                  neighboring components. The designed spatial-filter
                  combines the advantages of both bilateral-filtering
                  and unsharp masking methods, with high computational
                  efficiency. The proposed method can be used for

                  to detect unsafe driving patterns from multi-channel
                  driving recording data. The fusion is performed
                  using a discriminatively trained graphical model
                  -conditional random field (CRF). The proposed
                  approach offers several advantage over existing
                  information fusing approaches. First, it derives its
                  classification power by directly modelling and
                  maximizing the conditional probability. Second, it
                  represents the variable dependency in an undirected
                  graph, which is very efficient in inference. Third,
                  it does not require to label all the training data
                  and utilizes both labelled and unlabelled data
                  efficiently by semi-supervised learning
                  algorithms. The proposed approach is evaluated on
                  driving recording data collected from driving
                  simulator -STISIM. Experiments show it outperforms
                  the simple discriminative classifier (SVM) and
                  generative model (HMM).},

                  super resolution is proposed. Back-projection [1]
                  can minimize the reconstruction error with an
                  efficient iterative procedure. Although it can
                  produce visually appealing result, this method
                  suffers from the chessboard effect and ringing
                  effect, especially along strong edges. The
                  underlining reason is that there is no edge guidance
                  in the error correction process. Bilateral filtering
                  can achieve edge-preserving image smoothing by
                  adding the extra information from the feature
                  domain. The basic idea is to do the smoothing on the
                  pixels which are nearby both in space domain and in
                  feature domain. The proposed bilateral
                  back-projection algorithm strives to integrate the
                  bilateral filtering into the back-projection
                  method. In our approach, the back-projection process
                  can be guided by the edge information to avoid
                  across-edge smoothing, thus the chessboard effect
                  and ringing effect along image edges are
                  removed. Promising results can be obtained by the
                  proposed bilateral back-projection method

  abstract = {Effective image prior is necessary for image super
                  resolution, due to its severely under-determined
                  nature. Although the edge smoothness prior can be
                  effective, it is generally difficult to have
                  analytical forms to evaluate the edge smoothness,
                  especially for soft edges that exhibit gradual
                  intensity transitions. This paper finds the
                  connection between the soft edge smoothness and a
                  soft cut metric on an image grid by generalizing the
                  Geocuts method (Y. Boykov and V. Kolmogorov, 2003),
                  and proves that the soft edge smoothness measure
                  approximates the average length of all level lines
                  in an intensity image. This new finding not only
                  leads to an analytical characterization of the soft
                  edge smoothness prior, but also gives an intuitive
                  geometric explanation. Regularizing the super
                  resolution problem by this new form of prior can
                  simultaneously minimize the length of all level
                  lines, and thus resulting in visually appealing
                  results. In addition, this paper presents a novel
                  combination of this soft edge smoothness prior and
                  the alpha matting technique for color image super
                  resolution, by normalizing edge segments with their
                  alpha channel description, to achieve a unified

                  increase in computational cost. Our contributions
                  are mainly two fold. First, we include a
                  preprocessing called "local clustering" before the
                  hierarchical clustering algorithm to merge very
                  similar adjacent speech segments. This local
                  clustering aims to reduce the number of segments to
                  be clustered by the hierarchical clustering, so as
                  to dramatically increase the processing
                  speed. Second, we perform a postprocessing called
                  "cross EM refinement" to purify the clusters
                  generated by the hierarchical clustering. This
                  algorithm is based on the idea of cross validation
                  and EM algorithm. Our experimental evaluations show
                  that the proposed cross EM refinement approach
                  reduces the speaker diarization error by up to 56%,

                  multiple objects whose number is unknown and varies
                  during tracking. Based on preliminary results of
                  object detection in each image which may have
                  missing and/or false detection, the multiple object
                  tracking method keeps a graph structure where it
                  maintains multiple hypotheses about the number and
                  the trajectories of the objects in the video. The
                  image information drives the process of extending
                  and pruning the graph, and determines the best
                  hypothesis to explain the video. While the
                  image-based object detection makes a local decision,
                  the tracking process confirms and validates the
                  detection through time, therefore, it can be
                  regarded as temporal detection which makes a global
                  decision across time. The multiple object tracking
                  method gives feedbacks which are predictions of
                  object locations to the object detection
                  module. Therefore, the method integrates object
                  detection and tracking tightly. The most possible
                  hypothesis provides the multiple object tracking
                  result. The experimental results are presented.},

                  posteriori (MAP) solution of a probabilistic
                  framework called Hidden Markov Model, where the
                  distribution of the object state at current time
                  instance is estimated based on current and previous
                  observations. However this approach is prone to
                  errors caused by temporal distractions such as
                  occlusion, background clutter and multi-object
                  confusion. In this paper we propose a multiple
                  object tracking algorithm that seeks the optimal
                  state sequence which maximizes the joint
                  state-observation probability. We name this
                  algorithm trajectory tracking since it estimates the
                  state sequence or "trajectory" instead of the
                  current state. The algorithm is capable of tracking
                  multiple objects whose number is unknown and varies
                  during tracking. We introduce an observation model
                  which is composed of the original image, the
                  foreground mask given by background subtraction and
                  the object detection map generated by an object
                  detector The image provides the object appearance

                  likelihood computation to consider the multi-object
                  configuration in its entirety. The detection map
                  consists of pixel-wise object detection scores,
                  which drives the tracking algorithm to perform joint

                  the camera motion is continuous. Our approach is
                  based on the observations that (1) most highlights
                  in baseball games are composed of certain types of
                  scene shots and (2) those scene shots exhibit

                  for each type of scene shots with products of
                  histograms, and then for each type of highlight a

                  identify semantically important sentences, for
                  summary creations. Both methods strive to select
                  sentences that are highly ranked and different from
                  each other. This is an attempt to create a summary
                  with a wider coverage of the document's main content
                  and less redundancy. Performance evaluations on the
                  two summarization methods are conducted by comparing
                  their summarization outputs with the manual
                  summaries generated by three independent human
                  evaluators},
