Region growth is an important method based on regional information, and its gridding process also is an important problem. This research is satisfied with the needs of the remote sensing massive data real time and fast transmission and processing, and developed of the theory and methods research of remote sensing processing based on grid operation. This paper starts with basic principle and mathematical models of region growth. Then some new serial region growth algorithms proposed in recent years are classified and analyzed, based on which their related gridding strategies are emphatically discussed. Then this research analyze and put forward the algorithm, which should be feasible when designing gridding parallel segmentation, and give an evaluation of the parallel regional segment algorithm. Finally, the problems and challenges of future research were pointed out.

The main purpose of this study is to develop the inexpensive eye-gaze input interface for disabled people. The eye-gaze inputting can suit many situations, and it has little load for user because it is non-contact input interface. Many projects about the eye-gaze have been studied recently. Most of the productions of eye-gaze inputting use infra-red rays (IR) to detect the iris in the eyes. However the harm of IR for human eyes has been pointed out. In addition, if the interface requires the camera which has IR, the users must purchase the specific devices. Therefore we adopted a PC and the camera doesn't have the IR function. We propose the system by using the motion-template that is one of the functions of OpenCV library for tracking motion. However this function can't recognize the point where the user watches on monitor. It can recognize only the motion. That's why we made calibrate function to relate the eye-gaze with the monitor. We propose two methods to recognize eye-gaze. Both methods require the iris binary image. This image shows the iris shape and we expect that user's visual point can be calculated from this iris image. One method uses gravity point to calculate the point. Other method uses the rectangular approximation to calculate it. We did experiments for some subjects by both methods and compared the results to validate which method is proper and how much the calibrate function is accurate. In the experiment, the function randomly spotted a blue target on the monitor. The target position changes on a regular basis. In this experiment, the user stares at the target and we check the accuracy. If this function or methods are proper, the function correctly recognizes the user stare at target or near. For more accuracy, we will consider about how to detect the iris correctly in the future.

Thousands of cameras are connected to the Internet providing streaming data (videos or periodic images). The images contain information that can be used to determine the scene contents such as traffic, weather, and the environment. Analyzing the data from these cameras presents many challenges, such as (i) retrieving data from geographically distributed and heterogeneous cameras, (ii) providing a software environment for users to simultaneously analyze large amounts of data from the cameras, (iii) allocating and managing computation and storage resources. This paper presents a system designed to address these challenges. The system enables users to execute image analysis and computer vision techniques on a large scale with only slight changes to the existing methods. It currently includes more than 65,000 cameras deployed worldwide. Users can select cameras for the types of analysis they can do. The system allocates Amazon EC2 and Windows Azure cloud instances for executing the analysis. Our experiments demonstrate that this system can be used for a variety of image analysis techniques (e.g. motion analysis and human detection) using 2.7 million images from 1274 cameras for three hours using 15 cloud instances to analyze 141 GB of images (at 107 Mbps).

The number of Earth observation satellites from China increases dramatically recently and those satellites are acquiring a large volume of imagery daily. As the main portal of imageprocessing and distribution from those Chinese satellites, the China Centre for Resources Satellite Data and Application (CRESDA) has been working with PCI Geomatics during the last three years to solve two issues in this regard: processing the large volume of data (about 1,500 scenes or 1 TB per day) in a timely manner and generating geometrically accurate orthorectified products. After three-year research and development, a high performance system has been built and successfully delivered. The high performance system has a service oriented architecture and can be deployed to a cluster of computers that may be configured with high end computing power. The high performance is gained through, first, making imageprocessing algorithms into parallel computing by using high performance graphic processing unit (GPU) cards and multiple cores from multiple CPUs, and, second, distributing processing tasks to a cluster of computing nodes. While achieving up to thirty (and even more) times faster in performance compared with the traditional practice, a particular methodology was developed to improve the geometric accuracy of images acquired from Chinese satellites (including HJ-1 A/B, ZY-1-02C, ZY-3, GF-1, etc.). The methodology consists of fully automatic collection of dense ground control points (GCP) from various resources and then application of those points to improve the photogrammetric model of the images. The delivered system is up running at CRESDA for pre-operational production and has been and is generating good return on investment by eliminating a great amount of manual labor and increasing more than ten times of data throughput daily with fewer operators. Future work, such as development of more performance-optimized algorithms, robust image matching methods and application workflows

Generic image classification methods are not performing well on tissue images. Such software solutions are producing high number of false negative and positive results, which prevents their clinical usage. We have created the MorphCeck high resolution tissue imageprocessing framework, which enables us to collect morphological and morphometrical parameter values of the examined tissues. Size of such tissue images can easily reach the order of 100 MB-1 GB. Therefore, the imageprocessing speed and effectiveness is an important factor. Our main goal is to accurately evaluate high resolution H-E (hematoxilin-eozin) stained colon tissue sample images, and based on the parameters classify the images into differentiated sets according to the structure and the surface manifestation of the tissues. We have interfaced our MorphCheck tissue image measurement software framework with the WND-CHARM general purpose image classifier and tried to classify high resolution tissue images with this combined software solution. The classification is by default initiated with a large training set and three main classes (healthy, adenoma, carcinoma), however the new image classification process' wall-clock time was intolerably high on single core PC. The processing time is depending on the size/resolution of the image and the size of the training set. Due to the tissue specific image parameters the classification effectiveness was promising. So we have started a development process to decrease the processing time and further increase the accuracy of the classification. We have developed a workflow based parallel version of the MorphCheck and WND-CHARM classifier software. In collaboration with the MTA SZTAKI Application Porting Centre the WND-CHARM has been ported to some distributed computing infrastructure (DCI). The paper introduces the steps that were taken to optimize WND-CHARM applications running faster using DCIs and some performance results of the tissue image classification proce

Accidental atmospheric releases of hazardous material pose great risks to human health and the environment. In this context it is valuable to develop the emergency action support system, which can quickly identify probable location and characteristics of the release source based on the measurement of dangerous substance concentration by the sensors network. In this context Bayesian approach occurs as a powerful tool being able to combine observed data along with prior knowledge to gain a current understanding of unknown model parameters. We have applied the methodology combining Bayesian inference with Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) to the problem of the atmospheric contaminant source localization. The algorithm input data are the on-line arriving concentrations of given substance registered by the distributed sensor's network. We have proposed the different version of the Hybrid SMC along with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms and examined its effectiveness to estimate the probabilistic distributions of atmospheric release parameters. The proposed algorithms scan 5-dimensional parameters' space searching for the contaminant source coordinates, release strength and atmospheric transport dispersion coefficients.
