In all of the existing block-based image and video coding standards, blocks are processed in the fixed scan order. Then in HEVC intra coding, intra prediction is always based on the top and/or left neighboring reconstructed pixels, which incurs less accurate prediction for blocks where the spatial correlation is not along the topleft-to-bottomright direction. To obtain better intra prediction, we propose to flexibly determine the coding order of blocks in HEVC intra coding. Complying with the hierarchical quadtree structure in HEVC, our flexible block ordering (FBO) technique recursively decides the coding order of four sub-blocks when splitting one block. Moreover, we propose new methods to perform inter/extrapolation for intra prediction so as to fully utilize neighboring reconstructed pixels, not always being top/left. Experimental results show that our proposed FBO technique achieves on average 2.9% BD-rate reduction compared to HEVC baseline.

Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) has been the commonly used transform for a few decades in image/video coding. However, DCT does not work well on the blocks having anisotropic correlations. In this paper, based on the adaptive dictionary, we propose a new online transform scheme using Orthogonal Matching Pursuit (OMP) for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). For a coding block, we construct its dictionary by exploiting non-local correlations from the reconstructed regions. The OMP algorithm is implemented to obtain the sparse transform coefficients. Experimental results show that the BD-rate savings of the proposed scheme for the sequences with strong edges can be up to 1..9%.

We propose a novel superpixel algorithm based on Minimum Spanning Tree (MST), to generate superpixels efficiently while strictly adhere to object boundaries. The MST, which built by gradually removing strong edges of the image graph extracted from the image, is more sensitive to image local structures. Therefore, an efficient hierarchical clustering strategy is basically employed in our algorithm to segment the input image into superpixels based on the tree distance. To gradually merge the image pixels and remove texture noises, a multi-layer scheme with different resolutions of superpixels is proposed. In each layer, the graph is constructed from the lower layer and segmented into superpixels in a linear complexity with the node number in the graph. Because the node number in each layer is exponentially reduced, the computational time of our method mainly concentrates on the first few layers, which is linear with the number of image pixels. The experimental results conducted on the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods both in terms of structure preservation and computational efficiency.

The edges of the shadow region are blurred in the SAR image due to the moving of the radar during data collection. This phenomenon becomes obvious in the High Resolution SAR images. Shadow enhancement is of great value for ATR especially when the scattering centers of the target itself are not clear. In this paper, an approach for shadow enhancement in the SAR images for targets with plat structures is presented. And experiments on the Mini-SAR data test the validity of the approach.

The intrinsic factors that drive human mobility have remained unclear for decades. Our observations from both intra-urban and inter-urban trips demonstrate a general law of human mobility. Specifically, the probability that a trip will occur is inversely proportional to the size of population located inside a circle with radius equal to the travel distance centered at the trip origin. A simple parameterless rank-based model is presented; this model can predict human flows with a convincing fidelity. Moreover, existing models can be implemented as special cases of our model, suggesting that our model is stable at more spatial scales. Our model also creates a fundamental bridge between individual mobility and social relationships.

The massive or large scaled multiple input multiple output(MIMO) systems have gained huge consideration due to high achievable data rates, reliable system performance and advantaged energy efficiency for future wireless networks. For such systems, we should have a keen knowledge of the channel model, the ways of configuration, spectral efficiency and so on. The obtaining of the far-field pattern in the massive MIMO system from measurements made in the near-field has attracted widespread attention recently. In this article, two basic techniques for accomplishing this have been proposed. In the first technique, the NTFF(near-field to far-field) transformation is based on the equivalence principle. While in the second technique, it is based on the plane wave spectrum(PWS) expansion. Both of the methods have their own advantages for the massive MIMO systems. One can drastically reduce the computation time and the other can make enormous reduction in the storage consumption. Experimental results show that the two transformation techniques are proved to be feasible and they are consistent with each other.

GF-3 is the Chinese Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite mission with scientific and commercial applications, which will be launched in 201.. The ortho-rectification image combined with the DEM data can only be satisfied with the applications of the high resolution radar image, the data quantity with wide-breadth also put forward higher request to the automation processing. The Reverse-Range-Doppler method was used to ortho-rectified the SAR image of GF-3 satellite based on the Range-Doppler model in this paper. It not only ensures the correction precision, but also simplifies the iteration steps about DEM data, and improves the efficiency of automatic processing.

The accuracy of attitude observation is always the main contributor to geometric performance of earth observation satellites (EOSs). Given the ground process requirement, linear pushbroom and asynchronous imaging sensors are widely used in EOSs, such as multispectral sensor with sequential line arrays, three-line array sensor in stereo mapping satellite, panchromatic sensor with multiple non-collinear CCD chip in some high-resolution optical satellite. By using the images of those sensors, this paper proposes a method, which is based on image registration approach, rigorous forward intersection and bundle adjustment {1., to refine attitude data of satellite for improving geometric performance of images. Preliminary experiments, which used multi-sensors asynchronous images of Chinese Mapping Satellite-1.02, demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of improving internally coincident precision of attitude data without ground control points. In particular, relative positioning accuracy of images can be directly improved, and absolute positioning accuracy can consequently be improved via additionally using a few GCPs in the stripe image data.

In this paper, we mainly study the approximate discrete-time model for stochastic nonlinear systems with Markovian switching (SNSwMS). The consistency condition between the approximate discrete-time model and the exact discrete-time model of systems is discussed and analyzed. Then, the quantitative relationship between the bound of the model error in mean square and the initial value and sampling period is obtained.
