The problem addressed is how to use transputer networks for imageprocessing. As is well known, SIMD (single instruction/multiple data) or MIMD (multiple instruction/multiple data) architectures are very useful in parallel computing. The authors describe how to use transputers as an SIMD or MIMD machine to implement parallel imageprocessing. Several image-processing algorithms, including Laplacian of Gaussian, edge detection, region labeling, generalized Hough transform, and thinning, have been tested. The authors maintain that transputer-based systems are suitable for real-time imageprocessing. It is also pointed out that, compared with the other parallel machines, transputer systems can provide high performance and more flexibility with relatively low cost.

This work shows a novel application based on techniques of computer Vision and Machine Learning to identify k clusters into a data set with overlapping issue. Used in area of unsupervised data clustering, where separation between groups is tricky. Through pair-to-pair distance calculations upon original data, is gotten a Distances Matrix as representative information of data. This matrix contains visual information, then using morphological operators extract relevant features for individual identification of groups in data set. Next, matrix decomposition performed to covariance matrix, being calculation of data elements for each cluster in order to project data into a new linear space. So, overlapping and separation distances among clusters are corrected without loss information. Results present correct identification of k clusters, without loss information, and eliminating data overlap. Clustering validation metrics such as Silhouette and Precision was used to test the methodology.

Today video searching systems are required for interactive video communication service andcomputer network system. It is the most effective for visual communication. Then, we consider the method of extracting image and matching the feature tables in video searching system. In this paper, we pay attention to temporal characteristics in video retrieval methods. So we propose the temporal approach which grouping parameters of the correlation value are used in order to reduce matching time. As these characteristics, we used the luminance frequency. Next matching methods are verified from the viewpoints of the processing time and matching precision between query images and database images. Finally, our proposed method is evaluated from the viewpoint of probability model by simulation results, and it is shown that grouping methods are particularly useful.

The development of computer Vision system for tracking players in indoor team games is presented. Several imageprocessing and tracking methods are described, along with camera calibration and lens distortion correction. The output of the system consists of spatio-temporal trajectories of the players, which can be further processed and analyzed by sport experts. In some critical situations the automatic tracking process must be manually interrupted. To correct miss-trackings, human supervision is required. Some experimental results are presented as well.

A blindimage restoration for non-linear motion blurs with non-uniform point spread functions based on multiple blurred versions of a same scene is proposed. The restoration is separately considered as identification and deconvolution problems. In the proposed identification process, an identification difficulty is introduced to rank an order of blur identification. A blurred image with the lowest identification difficulty is initially identified by using a single-image-based scheme. Then, other images are identified based on a cross convolution relation between each pair of blurred images. In addition, an iterative feedback scheme is applied to improve the identification results. For the deconvolution process, a spatial adaptive scheme using regional optimal terminating points is modified from a conventional iterative deconvolution scheme. The images are decomposed into sub-regions based on smoothness. The regional optimal terminating points are independently assigned to suppress a noise in smooth regions and sharpen the image in edgy regions. The optimal terminating point for each region is decided by considering a discrepancy error. Restoration examples of simulated and real world blurred images are experimented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.

Wavelet tree based watermarking algorithms are using the wavelet coefficient energy difference for copyright protection and ownership verification. WTQ (Wavelet Tree Quantization) algorithm is the representative technique using energy difference for watermarking. According to the cryptanalysis on WTQ, the watermark embedded in the protected image can be removed successfully. In this paper, we present a novel differential energy watermarking algorithm based on the wavelet tree group modulation structure, i.e. WTGM (Wavelet Tree Group Modulation). The wavelet coefficients of host image are divided into disjoint super trees (each super tree containing two sub-super trees). The watermark is embedded in the relatively high-frequency components using the group strategy such that energies of sub-super trees are close. The employment of wavelet tree structure, sum-of-subsets and positive/negative modulation effectively improve the drawbacks of the WTQ scheme for its insecurity. The integration of the HVS (Human Visual System) for WTGM provides a better visual effect of the watermarked image. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our algorithm in terms of robustness and imperceptibility.

This work proposes a system capable of autonomous behavior using computer Vision and Deep Reinforcement Learning. These learned behaviors are those related to foraging in an environment that has food and poisons distributed throughout a scenario. We apply the Deep Learning framework for color imageprocessing. These images simulate the agent's vision. The foraging task is modeled as a reinforcement learning problem, in which an input constituted by raw pixels is processed by a convolutional neural network resulting in a set of actions. A Deep Learning algorithm based on SARSA was used. During training, the agent selects the actions based on a probability distribution called Softmax. The objective of this work is to present an agent capable of searching for food and distinguishing it from poisons through continuous learning and without the help or external intervention from humans. The experiments show that the agent is able to distinguish food from poisons without hints or markings in its vision input. This highlights the advantages of combining Deep Learning with reinforcement learning for the foraging problem. The results of this work form an initial basis for understanding the relationship among autonomy, cognition, and perception in artificial agents.
