Cluster analysis has proven to be a useful tool for investigating the association structure among genes in a microarray data set. There is a rich literature on cluster analysis and various techniques have been developed. Such analyses heavily depend on an appropriate (dis)similarity measure. In this paper, we introduce a general clustering approach based on the confidence interval inferential meth...Show More
Confidence estimation is essential for refining stereo matching results through a post-processing step. This problem has recently been studied using a learning-based approach, which demonstrates a substantial improvement on conventional simple non-learning based methods. However, the formulation of learning-based methods that individually estimates the confidence of each pixel disregards spatial c...Show More
Road detection is one of the key issues of scene understanding for Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS). Recent approaches has addressed this issue through the use of different kinds of sensors, features and algorithms. KITTI-ROAD benchmark has provided an open-access dataset and standard evaluation mean for road area detection. In this paper, we propose an improved road detection algorithm ...Show More
Perception is an essential procedure for intelligent vehicles where the safety issue is the most critical one. Usually, the perceptual approach is constructed based on measurements received from multiple sensors such as (Radar, and LiDAR) in order to model the immediate driving environment for autonomous vehicles navigation. These sensors are often limited and uncertain in providing visual informa...Show More
Glacier monitoring and classification play a vital role in understanding the impact of climate change. Remote sensing imagery, particularly synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, offers valuable information for glacier surface classification due to its all-weather and day-and-night imaging capability. This paper proposes an approach that combines dual-pol ALOS-2/PALSAR-2 and dual-pol Sentinel-1 pola...Show More

A situation map that shows the overview of a disaster situation serves as a valuable tool for disaster response teams. It helps them to orientate their location and to make disaster response decisions. It is, however, a complicated task to rapidly generate a complete and comprehensive situation map of a disaster area, particularly due to the centralized organization of disaster management and the ...Show More

We present a deep architecture that estimates a stereo confidence, which is essential for improving the accuracy of stereo matching algorithms. In contrast to existing methods based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that rely on only one of the matching cost volume or estimated disparity map, our network estimates the stereo confidence by using the two heterogeneous inputs simultaneousl...Show More
Mobile robots build on accurate, real-time mapping with onboard range sensors to achieve autonomous navigation over rough terrain. Existing approaches often rely on absolute localization based on tracking of external geometric or visual features. To circumvent the reliability issues of these approaches, we propose a novel terrain mapping method, which bases on proprioceptive localization from kine...Show More
Stereoscopic perception is an important part of human visual system that allows the brain to perceive depth. However, depth information has not been well explored in existing saliency detection models. In this letter, a novel saliency detection method for stereoscopic images is proposed. First, we propose a measure to evaluate the reliability of depth map, and use it to reduce the influence of poo...Show More
Geographical maps encoded with rainbow color scales are widely used by climate scientists. Despite a plethora of evidence from the visualization and vision sciences literature about the shortcomings of the rainbow color scale, they continue to be preferred over perceptually optimal alternatives. To study and analyze this mismatch between theory and practice, we present a web-based user study that ...Show More
Contour information is an important feature in recognition of coke microscopic optical texture. In view of the characteristic of coke microscopic, a contour extraction method, which is based on joint edge confidence map and dual threshold, is proposed. At first, an edge confidence map with gradient magnitude and orientation is built, then non-maximum suppression is employed to obtain local externa...Show More
We address the problem of segmenting a video in two classes of different semantic value, namely background and people, with the goal of guaranteeing that no people (or body parts) are classified as background. Body parts classified as background are given a higher classification error cost (segmentation with bias on background), as opposed to traditional approaches focused on people detection. To ...Show More
We present a novel method that predicts a confidence to improve the accuracy of an estimated depth map in stereo matching. In contrast to existing learning based approaches relying on hand-crafted confidence features, we cast this problem into a convolutional neural network, learned using both a matching cost volume and its associated disparity map. As the size of the matching cost volume varies d...Show More

Finding correct semantic correspondences between heterogeneous ontologies is one of the most challenging problems in the area of semantic web technologies. As manually constructing such mappings is not feasible in realistic scenarios, a number of automatic matching tools have been developed that propose mappings based on general heuristics. As these heuristics often produce incorrect results, a ma...Show More

In computer vision systems an unpredictable image corruption can have significant impact on its usability. Image recovery methods for partial image damage, in particular in moving scenarios, can be crucial for recovering corrupted images. In these situations, image fusion techniques can be successfully applied to congregate information taken at different instants and from different points-of-view ...Show More
In this paper, we propose a new confidence metric for efficient stereo matching. To measure the confidence of a stereo match, we refer to the curvatures around the two minimum costs of a cost curve, the size of aggregation kernel, and the occlusion information. Using the proposed confidence metric, we then design a weighted median filter, in order to refine the initially estimated disparities with...Show More
Recent studies employ advanced deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for monocular depth perception, which can hardly run efficiently on small drones that rely on low/middle-grade GPU(e.g. TX2 and 1050Ti) for computation. In addition, the methods which can effectively and efficiently produce probabilistic depth prediction with a measure of model confidence have not been well studied. The lack ...Show More
This paper describes an improved solution to the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem based on pseudolinear models. Accurate estimation of vehicle and landmark states is one of the key issues for successful mobile robot navigation if the configuration of the environment and initial robot location are unknown. A state estimator which can be designed to use the nonlinearity as it is ...Show More
Due to the fact that objects with camouflage blend seamlessly into their surroundings, exhibiting a exceptional resemblance in terms of texture, color, shape, etc., and possessing boundaries that are indistinguishable from their environment, the detection of such camouflaged objects becomes significantly more challenging. In this research, we introduce a novel network called CRNet, which incorpora...Show More

Stereo matching aiming to perceive the 3-D geometry of a scene facilitates numerous computer vision tasks used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Although numerous methods have been proposed for this task by leveraging deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), stereo matching still remains an unsolved problem due to its inherent matching ambiguities. To overcome these limitations, we p...Show More
In the urban environment or under complex traffic situation, conventional localization methods like GPS, dead reckoning or SLAM are not precise enough for autonomous driving.
