Marvasti S, Gillies D, Markus HS, 2004, Novel intelligent wavelet filtering of embolic signals from TCD ultrasound, Departmental Technical Report: 04/7, Publisher: Department of Computing, Imperial College London, 04/7

Transcranial Doppler ultrasound can be used to detect emboli in blood flow for predictingstroke. Embolic signals have characteristic transient chirps suitable for wavelet analysis.We have implemented and evaluated the first on-line intelligent wavelet filter to amplifyembolic signals building on our previous work in detection. Our intelligent waveletamplifier uses the matching filter properties of the Daubechies 8th order wavelet toamplify embolic signals. Even the smallest embolic signal is enhanced without affectingthe background blood flow signal. We show an increase of over 2db (on average) inembolic signal strength and an improvement in detection of 10-20%.

Thomaz CE, Gillies D, 2004, A maximum uncertainty LDA-based approach for limited sample size problems – with application to Face Recognition, Departmental Technical Report: 04/1, Publisher: Department of Computing, Imperial College London, 04/1

A critical issue of applying Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is both thesingularity and instability of the within-class scatter matrix. In practice, particularly inimage recognition applications such as face recognition, there are often a large number ofpixels or pre-processed features available, but the total number of training patterns islimited and commonly less than the dimension of the feature space. In this paper, a newLDA-based method is proposed. It is based on a straighforward stabilisation approach forthe within-class scatter matrix. In order to evaluate its effectiveness, experiments on facerecognition using the well-known ORL and FERET face databases were carried out andcompared with other LDA-based methods. The results indicate that our method improvesthe LDA classification performance when the within-class scatter matrix is notonly singular but also poorly estimated, with or without a Principal Component Analysisintermediate step and using less linear discriminant features.

Bayesian networks are constructed under a con-ditional independency assumption. This assump-tion however does not necessarily hold in prac-tice and may lead to loss of accuracy. We previ-ously proposed a hidden node methodology whereby Bayesian networks are adapted by the addition of hidden nodes to model the data de-pendencies more accurately. Empirical results in a computer vision application to classify and count the neural cell automatically showed that a modified network with two hidden nodes achieved significantly better performance with an average prediction accuracy of 83.9% com-pared to 59.31% achieved by the original net-work. In this paper we justify the improvement of performance by examining the changes in network accuracy using four network accuracy measurements; the Euclidean accuracy, the Co-sine accuracy, the Jensen-Shannon accuracy and the MDL score. Our results consistently show that the network accuracy improves by introduc-ing hidden nodes. Consequently, we were able to verify that the hidden node methodology helps to improve network accuracy and contribute to the improvement of prediction accuracy.

In several pattern recognition problems, particularly in image recognition ones, there are often a large number of features available, but the number of training samples for each pattern is significantly less than the dimension of the feature space. This statement implies that the sample group covariance matrices often used in the Gaussian maximum probability classifier are singular. A common solution to this problem is to assume that all groups have equal covariance matrices and to use as their estimates the pooled covariance matrix calculated from the whole training set. This paper uses an alternative estimate for the sample group covariance matrices, here called the mixture covariance, given by an appropriate linear combination of the sample group and pooled covariance matrices. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the performance associated with this estimate in two recognition applications: face and facial expression. The average recognition rates obtained by using the mixture covariance matrices were higher than the usual estimates.
