This paper presents an improved Oriented Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST) and Rotated BRIEF (ORB) algorithm named ORB using three-patch and local gray difference (ORB-TPLGD). ORB takes a breakthrough in real-time aspect. However, subtle changes of the image may greatly affect its final binary description. In this paper, the feature description generation is focused. On one hand, instead of pixel patch pairs comparison method used in present ORB algorithm, a three-pixel patch group comparison method is adopted to generate the binary string. In each group, the gray value of the main patch is compared with that of the other two companion patches to determine the corresponding bit of the binary description. On the other hand, the present ORB algorithm simply uses the gray size comparison between pixel patch pairs, while ignoring the information of the gray difference value. In this paper, another binary string based on the gray difference information mentioned above is generated. Finally, the feature fusion method is adopted to combine the binary strings generated in the above two steps to generate a new feature description. Experiment results indicate that our improved ORB algorithm can achieve greater performance than ORB and some other related algorithms.

In this paper, a new feature fusion method for Handwritten Character Recognition based on single tri-axis accelerometer has been proposed. The process can be explained as follows: firstly, the short-time energy (STE) features are extracted from accelerometer data. Secondly, the Frequency-domain feature namely Fast Fourier transform Coefficient (FFT) are also extracted. Finally, these two categories features are fused together and the principal component analysis (PCA) is employed to reduce the dimension of the fusion feature. Recognition of the gestures is performed with Multi-class Support Vector Machine. The average recognition results of ten Arabic numerals using the proposed fusion feature are 84.6%, which are better than only using STE or FFT feature. The performance of experimental results show that gesture-based interaction can be used as a novel human computer interaction for consumer electronics and mobile device.

In recent years, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been successfully used in image recognition and image classification. General CNNs only use a single image as feature extraction. If the quality of the obtained image is not good, it is easy to cause misjudgment or recognition error. Therefore, this study proposes the feature fusion of a dual-input CNN for the application of face gender classification. In order to improve the traditional feature fusion method, this paper also proposes a new feature fusion method, called the weighting fusion method, which can effectively improve the overall accuracy. In addition, in order to avoid the parameters of the traditional CNN being determined by the user, this paper uses a uniform experimental design (UED) instead of the user to set the network parameters. The experimental results show that in the dual-input CNN experiment, average accuracy rates of 99.98% and 99.11% on the CIA and MORPH data sets are achieved, respectively, which is superior to the traditional feature fusion method.
