Firstly, mutual information measure is combined with morphological gradient information. The essence of the gradient information is that locations a large gradient magnitude should be aligned, but also the orientation of the gradients at those locations should be similar. Secondly, a hybrid optimizer combined PSO with Powell algorithm is proposed to restrain local maxima of mutual information function and improve the registration accuracy to sub-pixel level. Lastly, muhlresolution data structure based on Mallat decomposition can not only improve the behavior of registration function, but also improve the speed of the algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that the new method can yield good registration result, superior to traditional optimizer with respect to smoothness and attraction basin as well as convergence speed.展开更多

A method of fingerspelling recognition by hand shape using HLAC (higher-order local auto-correlation) features is proposed. Furthermore, in order to use HLAC features more effectively, the use of image processing techniques: reducing an image resolution, dividing an image, and image pre-processing techniques, is also proposed. The experimental results show that the proposed method is promising.展开更多
