Title: Simulating binocular eye movements based on 3-D short-term memory image in reading
Author(s): Satoru Morita
Abstract: We simulate binocular eye movements in reading. We introduce the 3-D edge features reconstructed from the foveated visions of two eyes to determine the next fixation point in reading. The next fixation point is determined statistically from the feature points in the 3-D short-term memory edge image. We show the effectiveness of simulating binocular eye movements based on 3-D short-term memory image.

Abstract: Face pose adjustment, as a loop of human face location, is very important in computer face recognition. In this paper, we present a new approach to automatic face pose adjustment on gray-scale static images with a single face. In the first stage, we make every little image with the degree of mediacy, then ask for one piece of image including two eyes using match degree. Finally ad-just this piece correctly. In the second stage, the inclination angle is calculated and the face position is redressed. The experimentations show that the algo-rithm performs very well both in terms of rate and of efficiency.

Abstract: This paper deals with designing a semi-automated noise filtering approach, which receives just original noisy image and corresponding gold(user manipulated) image to learn filtering task. It tries to generate optimized mathematical morphology procedure for image filtering by applying genetic algorithm as an optimizer. After training and generating morphological procedure, the approach is ready to apply the learned procedure on new noisy images. It takes just one gold sample to learn filtering and dose not need any prior context knowledge; that is the main advantage of this approach. Using the morphological operators makes filtering procedure robust, effective, and computationally efficient. Furthermore, the proposed filter shows little distortion on noise free parts of image, so it can extract objects from heavily noisy environments. Architecture of the system and details of implementation are presented. The approach feasibility is tested by well-prepared synthetic noisy images; results are given and discussed
