Unlike conventional approaches such as Hough Transform, we employ a robust but simple approach to extract the geometrical feature under real dynamic world conditions. Multi-threshold segmentation and the split-and-merge method are employed to interpret geometrical features such as edge, concave corners, convex corners, and segments in a unified framework. The features are represented by feature tree (F-Tree) so as to compactly represent the environments and some important properties of the F-Tree are discussed in this paper. To demonstrate the validity of the approach, we show the actual experiment results which are based on real Laser Range Finder data and real time analysis. The comparative study with Hough Transform shows the advantages and the high performance of the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The knowledge base is populated with learnt classification rules categorizing documents into topics. Classification provides for the reduction of the dimensio0ality of the document feature space. The semantic model of retrieved web documents is semantically labeled by querying domain ontology and processed with content-based classification method. The model obtained is mapped to the existing knowledge base by implementing inference algorithm. It enables models of the same semantic type to be recognized and integrated into the knowledge base. The approach provides for the domain knowledge integration and assists the extraction and modeling web documents semantics. Implementation results of the proposed approach are presented.展开更多

First, a new spatial point reconstruction approach is proposed to recover the coordinates of 3D points from 2D images by the related coordinate conversion factor (CCF). The images are captured by a monocular camera. Second, the human body is represented by a connected three-stick model. Then the parameters of the body model are recovered by the method of projective geometry using the related CCF. Finally, the gait feature composed of those parameters is defined, and it is proved by experiments that those features can partially avoid the influence of viewing angles between the optical axis of the camera and walking direction of the subject.展开更多
