the objective of this work is to get benefit of advancement in GPU technologies in the state of art software framework. We have analyzed the existing map-reduce (MR) framework and modify the same for new GPU architectures. We have identified some significant possibilities for improvement. these improvements are mainly in the context of the different GPU architectures, which were introduced after the development of the MR framework. Our experiments show an average of 2.5x speedup of MR framework on these architectures. Cache reconfiguration is also investigated in this work. We have achieved performance benefit ranging from 10% to 200% for various cache sizes. Based on the above analysis, three techniques have been developed for the performance enhancement of MR framework. First, we exploited the concept of principle of locality by code restructure. We have saved over 32%cache miss per thread. Second, we have reduced the number of comparisons per thread in group phase. Our optimized group phase gives an average of 1.5x speed up. In third optimization, we have performed delayed writing during mapperCount function and make this function as cache sensitive. this reduces significant cache misses and improves the execution time by 10% to 25% for this function.

Since first proposed, SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) has attracted great attention in the field of computervision because of many of its advantages. In the paper, we propose a novel SIFT algorithm based on Weighted-PCA. Besides, in order to improve the matching accuracy, we redefine the distance measurement in the matching process. the experimental results show that the proposed method is more effective than existing ones under image rotation, scale transformation and noise degradation.

For active contours, modeling techniques are represented by simulation and visualization of the objectives to their counterparts in physics, geometrics and graphics, etc. the goal of adopting this concept is to address several major difficulties in active contours for segmentation, boththeoretically and practically. Based on this technology, in theory, by interpreting the equations with physical meaning, it proves that each term in Geometric Active Contours (GAC) and Snakes is correspondent and has similar function. this approach can also illustrate their differences. In practice, the obstacle of multi-object segmentation by Snakes can be overcome visually through simulating the inflation of the balloon in a closed space. the precision of the edge based GAC is not satisfied. By imitating the light propagating in the isotropic substance, this trouble is easily solved. Utilization of the electrostatic field and heat diffusion principles can establish a fusion scheme to create an image force field, which guarantees boththe accuracy and the speed of the shape recovery process. In conclusion, the modeling technique transfers one question to its analogy and fast the procedures of solving some problems. the applications show vast prospects of this technology in image analysis.

Action recognition is an important topic in computervision and most current work focuses on view-dependent representations. In this paper, we develop a novel free viewpoint action recognition based on Self-similarity matrix (SSM), which tends to be stable across views. We choose Local Self-similarity (LSS) descriptor as our low-level feature, then SSM is calculated by computing the similarity between any pair of frame features. Each video sequence is represented using a diagonal descriptor vector extracted from the SSM. Support Vector Machines (SVM) is employed for classification. the encouraging experimental results on the public IXMAS multi-view data set demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.

Because of high data dependency between ADL (adaptive directional lifting) steps, such as interpolation, directional prediction and update, the existing CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) configuration method for traditional rectilinear transform is difficult to be used for ADL-based transform. this paper proposed a new configuration method so-called Slice for implementation of the ADL-based transforms on GPUs (graphicsprocessing Units). Compared withthe existing configuration for the conventional rectilinear lifting algorithm, the proposed method makes each step being handled by a different kernel both for horizontal and vertical passes to avoid unnecessary waiting time between threads. Meanwhile the interpolation and decomposition are executed in an interleaving manner on the pixel level. Moreover, the coalesced memory accesses are exploited to the greatest extent by reading and writing a slice of image data from or back to global memory. the results show that the Slice method overcomes the limitation of high data dependency between ADL steps, and achieves more than 10 times speedup compared to the optimized CPU implementation.
