image enhancement is an important step in imageprocessing, and the enhancement approach based on normalization of incomplete beta function is able to achieve ideal enhanced results. However, it often requires human intervention or is time-consuming to obtain good parameters, which still remains an issue not fully solved. In practice, it is an optimization problem to select the optimal parameters for the method. In the paper, the Firefly Algorithm( FA) is employed to search for the optimal parameters and the acquired optimal parameters are used to generate the gray level transformation curve to improve images. The performance of the proposed method is contrasted with other evolutionary computing methods like genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization algorithm. Experimental results display that FA is able to gain the optimal parameters effectively and adaptively, which outperforms the other optimization algorithms involved in the paper.

In this paper, Local Structure Tensor (LST) based Adaptive Anisotropic Filtering (AAF) methodology is used for medical image enhancement over different modalities. This filtering framework enhances and preserves anisotropic image structures while suppressing high frequency noise. The goal of this work is to reduce the overall computational cost with minimum risk on accuracy by introducing optimized filternets for local structure analysis and reconstruction filtering. This filtering technique facilitates user interaction and direct control over high frequency contents of the signal. The efficacy of the filtering framework is evaluated by testing the system with medical images of different modalities. The results are compared using three different quality measures. Experimental results show that a good level of noise reduction along with structure enhancement can be achieved in the adaptively filtered images.

In this paper we have addressed the problem of adopting in a combined way a genetic algorithm 131 and the Hough Transform [1,2] for implementing an auto tracking method in a video conference system By applying this method we have been able to track an object that moves slowly following quite parallel trajectories. The proposed algorithm considers just the shape of the object to be tracked and a priori known as a template, without taking into account other several characteristics of images like colour or texture. Because the implementation of Hough transform is a problem of maximising a function with particular constraints, and each run of evaluating Hough transform is time consuming, in this paper we have adopted a particular genetic algorithm to evaluate the rectangular region in which evaluate the Hough Transform [6]. The genetic algorithm used elitistic strategy, fitness sharing 151, mating restriction 141, adaptive rate of mutation and adaptive rate of cross-over with a double crosspoint[3]. Moreover, in this paper, since the evaluation of Hough Transform is very time consuming, we have addressed the strategy of dividing the whole scene in different shorter window in order to partition the evaluating load on parallel DSP.

Early classification of time-series data in a dynamic environment is a challenging problem of great importance in signalprocessing. This paper proposes a classifier architecture with a reject option capable of online decision making without the need to wait for the entire time series signal to be present. The main idea is to classify an odor/gas signal with an acceptable accuracy as early as possible. Instead of using posterior probability of a classifier, the proposed method uses the "agreement" of an ensemble to decide whether to accept or reject the candidate label. The introduced algorithm is applied to the bio-chemistry problem of odor classification to build a novel Electronic-Nose called Forefront-Nose. Experimental results on wind tunnel test-bed facility confirms the robustness of the forefront-nose compared to the standard classifiers from both earliness and recognition perspectives.

Based on the analysis of the infrared thermometry principle, using low power Bluetooth4.0 technology and combining software and hardware, a thermometer was designed, which can send temperature data to the mobile phone by Bluetooth4.0. After amplified the infrared temperature sensor signal of the thermometer by a instrumentation amplifier, CC2540 carries on the AD sampling, based on the infrared thermometry principle, to calculate the temperature value. Finally the temperature value will be sent to the mobile phone through the Bluetooth 4.0, and the temperature value can be plotted as a line so that we can clearly observe patient's temperature changes for a long time. Through the actual test, the feasibility of the system was verified.

This project aims to apply imageprocessing techniques in computer vision featuring an omnidirectional vision system to agricultural mobile robots (AMR) used for trajectory navigation problems, as well as localization matters. To carry through this task, computational methods based on the JSEG algorithm were used to provide the classification and the characterization of such problems, together with Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for pattern recognition. Therefore, it was possible to run simulations and carry out analyses of the performance of JSEG image segmentation technique through Matlab/Octave platforms, along with the application of customized Back-propagation algorithm and statistical methods in a Simulink environment. Having the aforementioned procedures been done, it was practicable to classify and also characterize the HSV space color segments, not to mention allow the recognition of patterns in which reasonably accurate results were obtained.
As a principal component analysis of the images based on an ordered structure, the greatest eigen fuzzy set (GEFS) and the smallest eigen fuzzy set (SEFS) of max-min composition and adjoint one, are proposed. In the c...

Spectral image clustering discovers groups and identifies distributions from spectral signatures without requiring a previous training stage. The sparse subspace clustering-based methods group spectral signatures in different subspaces, finding the sparsest representation for each pixel, guaranteeing that they belong to the same class. Although these methods have shown good accuracy, as the number of pixels increases, computational complexity becomes intractable. This paper proposes to reduce the number of pixels to be classified in the spectral image by half through a sub-sampling procedure that eliminate every two contiguous pixels, preserving the spatial structure of the image. Then, the clustering result is obtained using its spatial information. The performance of the proposed spectral image clustering framework is evaluated in three datasets showing that similar accuracy is obtained up to 7.9 times faster compared to the classification of the data sets without subsampling.
