    A SVM GREEK CHARACTER RECOGNISER

    No full text
    ABSTRACT This paper presents a handwritten Greek character recognizer based on Support Vector Machines (SVMs) . The recognizer is composed of two modules: the first one is a feature extractor, the second one, the classifier, is performed by means of SVMs. The recognizer, tested on a database of more than 22000 handwritten Greek characters, has shown satisfactory performances. SVMs compare notably better, in terms of recognition rates, with popular neural classifiers, such as Learning Vector Quantization and Multi-layer Perceptron

    Data Dimensionality Estimation Methods: A Survey

    No full text
    In this paper, data dimensionality estimation methods are reviewed. The estimation of the dimensionality of a data set is a classical problem of pattern recognition. There are some good reviews (Algorithms for Clustering Data, Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 1988) in literature but they do not include more recent developments based on fractal techniques and neural autoassociators. The aim of this paper is to provide an up-to-date survey of the dimensionality estimation methods of a data set, paying special attention to the fractal-based methods

    Handy: A real-time three color glove-based gesture recognizer with learning vector quantization

    No full text
    This paper presents Handy, a real-time hand gesture recognizer based on a three color glove. The recognizer is formed by three modules. The first module, fed by the frame acquired by a webcam, identifies the hand image in the scene. The second module, a feature extractor, represents the image by a nine-dimensional feature vector. The third module, the classifier, is performed by means of learning vector quantization. The recognizer, tested on a dataset of 907 hand gestures, has shown very high recognition rate

    ABSTRACT Machine Learning involves several scientific domains including mathematics, computer science, statistics and biology, and is an approach that enables computers to automatically learn from data. Focusing on complex media and how to convert raw data into useful information, this book offers both introductory and advanced material in the combined fields of machine learning and image/video processing. The machine learning techniques presented enable readers to address many real world problems involving complex data. Examples covering areas such as automatic speech and handwriting transcription, automatic face recognition, and semantic video segmentation are included, along with detailed introductions to algorithms and examples of their applications. The book is organized in four parts: The first focuses on technical aspects, basic mathematical notions and elementary machine learning techniques. The second provides an extensive survey of most relevant machine learning tec..
