In this paper, we propose a flexible fully-multiplicative orthogonal-group based ICA (FlexibleOgICA) algorithm, which can instantaneously separate the mixture of sub-Gaussian and super-Gaussian source signals. It adopts a self-adaptive nonlinear function, which adjusts its parameter to achieve better performance based on the estimation of the kurtosis of super-Gaussian source signals. We also have successfully applied the algorithm to obtain the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signal, showing its fast convergence speed and high separation performance

Various technologies have been used to protect the copyrights of digital contents from illegal or unintentional attacks. Watermarking methods protect digital contents by embedding a watermark message into them. However, since conventional watermarking algorithms change original digital contents to embed digital watermarks using various embedding methods, they result in the degradation of digital contents and decrease the fidelity of digital contents. A fingerprinting technique can be also used for protecting digital contents. However this method may have high computational complexity to generate unique features for digital contents. In order to provide the excellent fidelity, the proposed technique distributes original digital contents without any change like fingerprinting technique and just generates the content-associated information, which is combined wavelet coefficients with copyright message and used to extract copyright message afterward. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms an existing method for various signalprocessing attacks.

Radar based microwave imaging technique has great potential for breast cancer detection. It has been demonstrated by recent experiments that the data adaptive radar microwave imaging reveals good image resolution. However, purely scattered energy based image reconstruction methods can face major challenges in differentiation since the fibroconnective and glandular tissues which could have similar dielectric properties as that of malignant tissues. It has been proposed that the morphological features of the tissue can differentiate the benign from malignant tissues due to their irregular, spiculated shapes. Thus to efficiently differentiate the healthy, benign and breast tissues, this paper proposes a method that combines a novel data-independent beamformer called MWDAS method with Matrix Pencil (MP) method to first localize the suspicious region and then extract the resonant frequency and damping factor of complex natural resonance (CNR) of the malignant tissues. We employ FD-TD based computational 2D and 3D breast models for testing our method.

Neurotransmitter fields differ from neural fields in the underlying principle that the state variables are not the neuron action potentials, but the chemical concentration of neurotransmitters in the extracellular space. The dendritic arbor of a new electro-chemical neuron model performs a computation on the surrounding field of neurotransmitters. These fields may represent quantities such as position, force, momentum, or energy. Any computation performed by a neural network has a direct analog to a neurotransmitter field computation. While models that use action potentials as state variables may form associations using matrix operations on a large vector of neuron outputs, the neurotransmitter state model makes it possible for a small number of neurons, even a single neuron, to establish an association between an arbitrary pattern in the input field and an arbitrary output pattern. A single layer of neurons, in effect, performs the computation of a two-layer neural network.

Three dimensional Electron Microscopy (EM) and in particular single particle reconstruction using cryo-EM, has rapidly advanced over recent years, such that increasingly several macromolecular complexes can be resolved at sub-nanometer resolution (6-10 angstrom). This paper reviews some of the main volumetric image and geometric post-processing steps once a three dimensional EM map (henceforth a 3D map) has been reconstructed from single particle Cryo-EM, as essential steps in an enhanced and automated computational structure interpretation pipeline. In particular the paper addresses automated filtering, critical point calculations, symmetric and non-symmetric molecular domain segmentation, and protein secondary structure (alpha-helices and beta-sheets) elucidation from 3D maps.

Particle filter has attracted much attention due to its robust tracking performance in clutter. However, a price to pay for its robustness is the computational cost. Meanwhile there is no exact mechanism for choosing or updating scale in its framework for accurate tracking. In this paper we propose a threshold and scale based particle filter (TSPF). It employs a threshold to discard the bad particles and keep the good ones. In this case, the efficiency of particles is improved and the number of required particles is greatly reduced. It also adapts Robert T. Collins's theory of selecting kernel scale for mean shift blob tracking to particle filter. Experiments show TSPF works well, both spatially and in scale.

This paper describes a novel real-time technique to determine horizontal human face pose from a video color sequence. The idea underlying this technique is that when head is at an arbitrary pose to the right or left, there are significant relationships between the distance from center of both pupils to head center, and the distance between both pupils. From these distances, we compute a ratio known as "horizontal ratio". This ratio, besides being advantageous in the sense that it reduces the dependency on facial features tracking accuracy and robust to noise, is actually the quantity that is used to determine the horizontal human face pose. The technique is simple, computational cheap and requires only information that is usually retrievable from a face and facial feature tracker.
