In this paper, we propose a null space discriminant locality preserving projections (NDLPP) method for facial feature extraction and recognition. Based on locality preserving projections (LPP) and discriminant locality preserving projections (DLPP) methods, NDLPP comes into the characteristics of DLPP that encodes both the geometrical and discriminant structure of the data manifold, and addresses the small sample size problem by solving an eigenvalue problem in null space. Experiments on synthetic data and ORL, Yale, and FERET face databases are performed to test and evaluate the proposed algorithm. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of NDLPP.

Yixiong Liang, Zhihua Yin, Haotian Liu, Hailong Zeng, Jianxin Wang, Jianfeng Liu, Nanying Che

Summary: This paper proposes a novel weakly supervised nuclei segmentation framework that utilizes sparsely annotated bounding boxes for segmentation without requiring segmentation labels. The framework integrates traditional image segmentation and self-training to achieve fully supervised instance segmentation. The method generates coarse masks and pseudo labels using the traditional segmentation and refines them with the help of a teacher model. Both teacher and student models are trained jointly using the refined masks, pseudo labels, and manually annotated bounding boxes. The proposed method outperforms existing weakly supervised methods on both datasets.
