Abstract:
In camera-based object labeling, boost classifier ƒT(x)=Σr=1Mβrhr(x) is trained to classify an image represented by feature vector x using a target domain training set DT of labeled feature vectors representing images acquired by the same camera and a plurality of source domain training sets DS1, . . . , DSN acquired by other cameras. The training applies an adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) algorithm to generate base classifiers hr(x) and weights βr. The rth iteration of the AdaBoost algorithm trains candidate base classifiers hrk(x) each trained on a training set DT∪DSk, and selects hr(x) from previously trained candidate base classifiers. The target domain training set DT may be expanded based on a prior estimate of the labels distribution for the target domain. The object labeling system may be a vehicle identification system, a machine vision article inspection system, or so forth.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for matching real trips to schedules in a public transportation system. Inputs can be reduced to a two-dimensional sequence alignment of data indicative of a temporal series of arrival and departure timestamps. A dynamic programming solution is applied to the two-dimensional sequence alignment of the data. Then, symmetric and asymmetric cases are analyzed with respect to the two-dimensional sequence alignment of the data to thereby match real trip data to schedule data in the public transportation system based on the temporal series of the arrival and departure timestamps.
