Abstract: An approach to image labeling by seabed context based on multiple-instance learning via embedded instance selection (MILES) is presented. Sonar images are first segmented into superpixels with associated intensity and texture feature distributions. These superpixels are defined as the… Read More

Environmentally-Adaptive Target Recognition for SAS Imagery
Abstract: Characteristics of underwater targets displayed in synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imagery vary depending on their environmental context. Discriminative features in sea grass may differ from the features that are discriminative in sand ripple, for example. Environmentally-adaptive target detection and… Read More
Classification Label Map for MUUFL Gulfport Released!
We are excited to announce that we have released a classification label map for the MUUFL Gulfport co-registered hyperspectral and Lidar Campus 1 image . The MUUFL Gulfport data set was collected in November 2010 over the campus of the… Read More
Partial Membership Latent Dirichlet Allocation for Soft Image Segmentation

Abstract: Topic models (e.g., pLSA, LDA, sLDA) have been widely used for segmenting imagery. However, these models are confined to crisp segmentation, forcing a visual word (i.e., an image patch) to belong to one and only one topic. Yet, there… Read More
Multi-camera High-throughput Plant Root Phenotyping System
Abstract: Plant root phenotyping is a key component in plant breeding and selection for desireable root properties. Preferable root traits can not only help a plant to grow faster but also allow for more dense and deep root system architectures… Read More
