In the automatic target recognition with complex background, the method of detecting motion target using the global motion estimation (GME) in image sequences is often proposed. Due to the possible presences of differently moving foreground objects and other sources of distortions, improvement of robustness and preciseness of GME is very difficult. Therefore the method of GME based on the M-estimators' formulation with direct multi-resolution is proposed in our paper. The M-estimators' formulation is not only executed in gradient descent at each level of the pyramid, but also applied in initial translation estimation with minimal SSD at the coarsest level, which assures the convergence of the subsequent gradient descent algorithm. Comparative experiments are performed to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The effectiveness and improvements can be observed from the comparisons.

Monitoring residential areas at a regional scale, and even at a global scale, has become an increasingly important topic. However, extraction of residential information was still a difficulty and challenging task, such as multiple usable data selection and automatic or semi-automatic techniques. In metropolitan area, such as Beijing, urban sprawl has brought enormous pressure on rural and natural environments. Given a case study, a new strategy of extracting of residential information integrating the upscaling methods and object multi-features was introduced in high resolution SPOT fused image. Multi-resolution dataset were built using upscaling methods, and optimal resolution image was selected by semi-variance analysis approach. Relevant optimal spatial resolution images were adopted for different type of residential area (city, town and rural residence). Secondly, object multi-features, including spectral information, generic shape features, class related features, and new computed features, were introduced. An efficient decision tree and Class Semantic Representation were set up based on object multi-features. And different classes of residential area were extracted from multi-resolution image. Afterwards, further discussion and comparison about improving the efficiency and accuracy of classification with the proposed approach were presented. The results showed that the optimal resolution image selected by upscaling and semi-variance method successfully decreased the heterogeneous, smoothed the noise influence, decreased computational, storage burdens and improved classification efficiency in high spatial resolution image. The Class Semantic Representation and decision tree based on object multi-features improved the overall accuracy and diminished the 'salt and pepper effect'. The new image analysis approach offered a satisfactory solution for extracting residential information quickly and efficiently.

Beijing-1 small satellite image of 4m high resolution not only makes it possible to extract the detailed information that is difficult to be obtained from low-resolution images, but also brings out new research subjects for automatic extraction and identification of thematic information. The reason for this are as follows:(1) the obvious increase of data requires higher spatial and temporal efficiency of image data retrieval, display, processing, etc.;(2) due to the highly detailed information of high resolution image, under the influence of the Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF), different parts of the same object may have different grey levels;together with factors such as object shadow, mutual cover, and cloud cover, the phenomenon of same object, different spectrum of high resolution images becomes more prominent, and the different object, same spectrum still exists, which brings greater difficulties to the work of information extraction [1][2]. The road of high resolution image has the following features: (1) the width of the road varies slightly and slowly;(2) the direction of the road varies slowly;(3) the local mean grey level of the road varies slowly;(4) the road is relatively long. Due to the increase of the resolution, the noises such as bridges, cars and trees along the road and its edge also increase. The paper proposes a new road extraction algorithm namely Scansnake aimed at the features of Beijing-1 images. A large amount of experiments proved that Scansnake algorithm has the advantage of object tracking, and under a series of complex conditions such as the variation of the width of the road and the change of grey feature distribution, Scansnake method can extract the road information of the high resolution Beijing-1 image.

The Antarctic is in very close relationship with the global climate, ecology environment, and the future of the human being. And it is unscientific to explore the Antarctic without any touch. While, crevasse is one of the most dangerous factors to the team members during the field expedition. Crevasse detection is very important in polar scientific research expedition for the safety;meanwhile, it is also meaningful information for ice flow monitoring. This paper presents the preliminary study on ice crevasse texture analysis and recognition based on SPOT image and coherence map derived from SAR image of Grove Mountains, east Antarctica. Since radar can penetrate the snow, it can detect the crevasse under the snow which can't be detected by optical satellite data. Based on the texture characteristics, gray level cooccurrence matrix is chosen at first to recognize the crevasse in SPOT image and coherence map respectively. And the results and the difference are analyzed. Optical and radar imagery both are valuable, however, there is no single sensor that gives 100 percent of the crevasses. Meanwhile, gray level co-occurrence matrix method can not detect the crevasse at 100 percent accuracy. More texture analysis method will be studied in further research.

Datasets of tens of gigabytes are becoming common in computational and experimental science. Providing remote visualization of these large datasets with adequate levels of quality and interactivity is an extremely challenging task, particularly for scientists who collaborate in widely distributed locations and their primary access to visualization resources is a desktop computer. This paper describes a remote visualization system for large-scale terrain rendering based on parallel streaming pipeline architecture. The visualization pipeline is divided in a client-server paradigm to take advantage of the powerful computing and storage resources on the dedicated computers. The two key components of this framework are: view-dependent simplification of the terrain mesh;and a scheme for delivering a minimally necessary subset of triangle strips to any user requesting an interactive visualization session. To verify the effectiveness of proposed schemes and data structures, the prototype system was implemented on China next-generation Internet backbone. Approximate 60GB size image resources for flight simulation were stored centrally in Wuhan, whereas scientists geographically dispersed in Beijing and Shanghai could manipulate and visualize these large 3D datasets in an efficient and flexible way, furthermore, the need for data replication to local desktops was eliminated.

Automatic target recognition(ATR) is the key of the image guidance technology, yet it is difficult to recognize the target by merely depending on the real-time image acquired by flying vehicle cameras, moreover, the task of recognizing the target from the real-time images by the vehicle-carrying imageprocessing system is a hard work itself The main trend of the ATR nowadays is to make utilization of the images produced by high-resolution remote sensing satellite to retrieve the front elevation of the interested region before hand. These front elevations are loaded upon the flying vehicles and are matched with the real-time images acquired by vehicle-carrying cameras to recognize the interested target. Obviously, the key step of this method is to recover the 3D information from 21) images. This paper proposed a framework to produce multi-scale and multi-viewpoint projection images based on remote sensing satellite stereopair by means of photogrammetry and computer vision. First we proposed a algorithm for reconstructing the 3D structure of the target by digital photogrammetric techniques and establishing the 3D model of the target using the OpenGL visualization toolkit. Then the conversion relationship between the world coordinate system and the simulation space coordinate system is provided to produce the front elevation in the simulation space.

3D ultrasound (US) is a new technology that can be used for a variety of diagnostic applications, such as obstetrical, vascular, and urological imaging, and has been explored greatly potential in the applications of image-guided surgery and therapy. Uterine adenoma and uterine bleeding are the two most prevalent diseases in Chinese woman, and a minimally invasive ablation system using an RF button electrode which is needle-like is being used to destroy tumor cells or stop bleeding currently. Now a 3D US guidance system has been developed to avoid accidents or death of the patient by inaccurate localizations of the electrode and the tumor position during treatment. In this paper, we described two automated techniques, the 3D Hough Transform (3DHT)and the 3D Randomized Hough Transform (3DRHT), which is potentially fast, accurate, and robust to provide needle segmentation in 3D US image for use of 3D US imaging guidance. Based on the representation (Phi, theta, rho, alpha) of straight lines in 3D space, we used the 3DHT algorithm to segment needles successfully assumed that the approximate needle position and orientation are known in priori. The 3DRHT algorithm was developed to detect needles quickly without any information of the 3D US images. The needle segmentation techniques were evaluated using the 3D US images acquired by scanning water phantoms. The experiments demonstrated the feasibility of two 3D needle segmentation algorithms described in this paper.
