EFFECTIVE IMAGE SEGMENTATION FRAMEWORK FOR GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL INCORPORATING LOCAL INFORMATION

A new two-step framework is proposed for image segmentation. In the first step, the gray-value distribution of the given image is reshaped to have larger inter-class variance and less intra-class variance. In the sec- ond step, the discriminant-based methods or clustering-based methods are performed on the reformed distribution. It is focused on the typical clustering methods-Gaussian mixture model （GMM） and its variant to demonstrate the feasibility of the framework. Due to the independence of the first step in its second step, it can be integrated into the pixel-based and the histogram-based methods to improve their segmentation quality. The experiments on artificial and real images show that the framework can achieve effective and robust segmentation results.

Multi-resolution image segmentation based on Gaussian mixture model

Mixture model based image segmentation method, which assumes that image pixels are independent and do not consider the position relationship between pixels, is not robust to noise and usually leads to misclassification. A new segmentation method, called multi-resolution Ganssian mixture model method, is proposed. First, an image pyramid is constructed and son-father link relationship is built between each level of pyramid. Then the mixture model segmentation method is applied to the top level. The segmentation result on the top level is passed top-down to the bottom level according to the son-father link relationship between levels. The proposed method considers not only local but also global information of image, it overcomes the effect of noise and can obtain better segmentation result. Experimental result demonstrates its effectiveness.

ON USING NON-LINEAR CANONICAL CORRELATION ANALYSIS FOR VOICE CONVERSION BASED ON GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL

Voice conversion algorithm aims to provide high level of similarity to the target voice with an acceptable level of quality.The main object of this paper was to build a nonlinear relationship between the parameters for the acoustical features of source and target speaker using Non-Linear Canonical Correlation Analysis(NLCCA) based on jointed Gaussian mixture model.Speaker indi-viduality transformation was achieved mainly by altering vocal tract characteristics represented by Line Spectral Frequencies(LSF).To obtain the transformed speech which sounded more like the target voices,prosody modification is involved through residual prediction.Both objective and subjective evaluations were conducted.The experimental results demonstrated that our proposed algorithm was effective and outperformed the conventional conversion method utilized by the Minimum Mean Square Error(MMSE) estimation.

A GAUSSIAN MIXTURE MODEL-BASED REGULARIZATION METHOD IN ADAPTIVE IMAGE RESTORATION

A GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model) based adaptive image restoration is proposed in this paper. The feature vectors of pixels are selected and extracted. Pixels are clustered into smooth,edge or detail texture region according to variance-sum criteria function of the feature vectors. Then pa-rameters of GMM are calculated by using the statistical information of these feature vectors. GMM predicts the regularization parameter for each pixel adaptively. Hopfield Neural Network (Hopfield-NN) is used to optimize the objective function of image restoration,and network weight value matrix is updated by the output of GMM. Since GMM is used,the regularization parameters share properties of different kind of regions. In addition,the regularization parameters are different from pixel to pixel. GMM-based regularization method is consistent with human visual system,and it has strong gener-alization capability. Comparing with non-adaptive and some adaptive image restoration algorithms,experimental results show that the proposed algorithm obtains more preferable restored images.

This paper presents a new online incremental training algorithm of Gaussian mixture model （GMM）, which aims to perform the expectation-maximization（EM） training incrementally to update GMM model parameters online sample by sample, instead of waiting for a block of data with the sufficient size to start training as in the traditional EM procedure. The proposed method is extended from the split-and-merge EM procedure, so inherently it is also capable escaping from local maxima and reducing the chances of singularities. In the application domain, the algorithm is optimized in the context of speech processing applications. Experiments on the synthetic data show the advantage and efficiency of the new method and the results in a speech processing task also confirm the improvement of system performance.

Integration of Expectation Maximization using Gaussian Mixture Models and Naïve Bayes for Intrusion Detection

Intrusion detection is the investigation process of information about the system activities or its data to detect any malicious behavior or unauthorized activity.Most of the IDS implement K-means clustering technique due to its linear complexity and fast computing ability.Nonetheless,it is Naïve use of the mean data value for the cluster core that presents a major drawback.The chances of two circular clusters having different radius and centering at the same mean will occur.This condition cannot be addressed by the K-means algorithm because the mean value of the various clusters is very similar together.However,if the clusters are not spherical,it fails.To overcome this issue,a new integrated hybrid model by integrating expectation maximizing(EM)clustering using a Gaussian mixture model(GMM)and naïve Bays classifier have been proposed.In this model,GMM give more flexibility than K-Means in terms of cluster covariance.Also,they use probabilities function and soft clustering,that’s why they can have multiple cluster for a single data.In GMM,we can define the cluster form in GMM by two parameters:the mean and the standard deviation.This means that by using these two parameters,the cluster can take any kind of elliptical shape.EM-GMM will be used to cluster data based on data activity into the corresponding category.

An Aircraft Trajectory Anomaly Detection Method Based on Deep Mixture Density Network

The timely and accurately detection of abnormal aircraft trajectory is critical to improving flight safety.However,the existing anomaly detection methods based on machine learning cannot well characterize the features of aircraft trajectories.Low anomaly detection accuracy still exists due to the high-dimensionality,heterogeneity and temporality of flight trajectory data.To this end,this paper proposes an abnormal trajectory detection method based on the deep mixture density network(DMDN)to detect flights with unusual data patterns and evaluate flight trajectory safety.The technique consists of two components:Utilization of the deep long short-term memory(LSTM)network to encode features of flight trajectories effectively,and parameterization of the statistical properties of flight trajectory using the Gaussian mixture model(GMM).Experiment results on Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport terminal airspace show that the proposed method can effectively capture the statistical patterns of aircraft trajectories.The model can detect abnormal flights with elevated risks and its performance is superior to two mainstream methods.The proposed model can be used as an assistant decision-making tool for air traffic controllers.

Semantic image annotation based on GMM and random walk model

Automatic image annotation has been an active topic of research in computer vision and pattern recognition for decades.A two stage automatic image annotation method based on Gaussian mixture model(GMM) and random walk model(abbreviated as GMM-RW) is presented.To start with,GMM fitted by the rival penalized expectation maximization(RPEM) algorithm is employed to estimate the posterior probabilities of each annotation keyword.Subsequently,a random walk process over the constructed label similarity graph is implemented to further mine the potential correlations of the candidate annotations so as to capture the refining results,which plays a crucial role in semantic based image retrieval.The contributions exhibited in this work are multifold.First,GMM is exploited to capture the initial semantic annotations,especially the RPEM algorithm is utilized to train the model that can determine the number of components in GMM automatically.Second,a label similarity graph is constructed by a weighted linear combination of label similarity and visual similarity of images associated with the corresponding labels,which is able to avoid the phenomena of polysemy and synonym efficiently during the image annotation process.Third,the random walk is implemented over the constructed label graph to further refine the candidate set of annotations generated by GMM.Conducted experiments on the standard Corel5 k demonstrate that GMM-RW is significantly more effective than several state-of-the-arts regarding their effectiveness and efficiency in the task of automatic image annotation.

MODELING INTRAPERSONAL DEFORMATION SUBSPACE USING GMM FOR PALMPRINT IDENTIFICATION

In this paper, an efficient model of palmprint identification is presented based on subspace density estimation using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). While a few training samples are available for each person, we use intrapersonal palmprint deformations to train the global GMM instead of modeling GMMs for every class. To reduce the dimension of such variations while preserving density function of sample space, Principle Component Analysis (PCA) is used to find the principle differences and form the Intrapersonal Deformation Subspace (IDS). After training GMM using Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm in IDS, a maximum likelihood strategy is carried out to identify a person. Experimental results demonstrate the advantage of our method compared with traditional PCA method and single Gaussian strategy.
