Designed to diminish the artifacts caused by application of the state-of-the-art error concealment methods, a hybrid error concealment scheme is introduced. The proposed scheme stands out by using the inherent spatial redundancy of natural images along with a data hiding technique to obtain the information required for reconstruction of the lost parts of the image at the receiver. Furthermore, to maintain the quality of the received image in high packet loss conditions, an alternative scheme is proposed which will be activated in response to a receiverpsilas feedback reporting a high packet loss ratio. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing methods in terms of the quality of the received image and computational cost.

The state-of-the-art exact histogram specification algorithm by Coltuc and others is improved. We use the image generated by this method as our initial starting point and improve its visual quality by application of several histogram-invariant transformations on the image, making it more and more similar to the source image. Experimental results verify the superb performance of the proposed method.

Low gain feedback has found several applications in constrained control systems, robust control and nonlinear control. Low gain feedback refers to a family of stabilizing state feedback gains that are parameterized in a scalar and go to zero as the scalar decreases to zero. Such feedback gains can be constructed either by an eigenstructure assignment algorithm or through the solution of a parametric algebraic Riccati equation (ARE). The eigenstructure assignment approach leads to feedback gains in the form of a matrix polynomial in the parameter, while the ARE approach requires the solution of an ARE for each value of the parameter. This note proposes an alternative approach to low gain feedback design based on the solution of a parametric Lyapunov equation. Such an approach possesses the advantages of both the eigenstructure assignment approach and the ARE-based approach. It also avoids the possible numerical stiffness in solving a parametric ARE and the structural decomposition of the open loop system that is required by the eigenstructure assignment approach.

This paper investigates and contrasts the use of different Bayesian networks and a fuzzy integral for real-time sensor fusion using sonar and rangefinder laser values on an ActivMedia robot. Bayesian networks have become increasingly popular because of their ability to capitalize on the conditional probabilities present in an influence chain. The Choquet fuzzy integral, which has primarily been used for statistical analysis, has a great power of description. Comparison of the two methods indicates that noise within the sensor network can drastically affect the accuracy of the results, especially those obtained using the Bayesian network.

In this paper we propose a new model to generate handwriting based on behavioral patterns we believe is to be found in humans when imitating a written character. The proposed algorithm has a hierarchical structure. It is consisted of two main levels. At the first level the graphical features of the written letter to be imitated are extracted. These features are the directions of movement for each stroke. To extract the strokes that shape a letter, zero crossings of vertical and horizontal spatial velocity profiles are determined. At the second part a given letter is regenerated by using the extracted directions. At this level, the letter is linearly divided into several subdivisions. After that the excursion length (step) and the slope of line-segments producing the subdivisions are estimated. In each trial of learning, trajectory points are chosen with the estimated step and a random slope. The final trajectory is produced by successive arrangement of the strokes. In each trial the slope and step of the target point has a distance less than a specified threshold from the actual path is stored in memory and others are generated again. This process will continue during different trials until the trajectory can be generated using only memory. The resulted trajectories for different letters written by different subjects are qualitatively and quantitatively similar to the actual trajectories generated by human.

We describe various results related to the random-party distillation of multiparty entangled states—that is, conversion of such states into entangled states shared between fewer parties, where those parties are not predetermined. In previous work we showed that certain output states (namely Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs) could be reliably acquired from a prescribed initial multipartite state [namely the W state |W⟩=13(|100⟩+|010⟩+|001⟩)] via random-party distillation that could not be reliably created between predetermined parties. Here we provide a more rigorous definition of what constitutes “advantageous” random-party distillation. We show that random-party distillation is always advantageous for W-class three-qubit states (but only sometimes for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger class states). We show that the general class of multiparty states known as symmetric Dicke states can be readily converted to many other states in the class via random-party distillation. Finally we show that random-party distillation is provably not advantageous in the limit of multiple copies of pure states.
