Nonnegative matrix factorization （NMF） is a recently proposed unsupervised procedure for learning spatially localized, partsbased subspace representation of objects. An improvement of the classical NMF by combining with Log-Gabor wavelets to enhance its part-based learning ability is presented. The new method with principal component analysis （PCA） and locally linear embedding （LIE） proposed recently in Science are compared. Finally, the new method to several real world datasets and achieve good performance in representation and classification is applied.展开更多

Instead of color quantization algorithm, an automatic classification method based on adaptive mean shift （AMS） based clustering is used for nonparametric clustering of image data set. The clustering results are used to construct Gaussian mixture modelling （GMM） of image data for the calculation of soft J value. The region growing algorithm used in JSEG is then applied in segmenting the image based on the multiscale soft J-images. Experiments show that the synergism of JSEG and the soft classification based on AMS based clustering and GMM overcomes the limitations of JSEG successfully and is more robust.展开更多

If too much necessary spatial distribution information of color is lost in JSEG, it is difficult or even impossible for JSEG to segment image correctly. Enlightened from segmentation based on fuzzy theories, soft class-map is constracted to solve that problem. The definitions of values and other related ones are adjusted according to the soft class-map. With more detailed values obtained from soft class map, more color distribution information is preserved. Experiments on a synthetic image and many other color images illustrate that JSEG with soft class-map can solve efficiently the problem that in a region there may exist color gradual variation in a smooth transition. It is a more robust method especially for images which haven＇ t been heavily blurred near boundaries of underlying regions.展开更多
