In this paper, we suggest a method to identify the clothing as one approach for identifying a person in the grayscale image captured by a CCTV camera. We use the edge information of the clothing area for extracting the textural feature of the clothing. The edge filter is applied to the clothing area, and the histograms on the edge values are constructed. The feature vector is composed from the histograms. We used Euclidean distance as a similarity measure between feature vectors, and successfully identified the clothing with 77.8% of success rate.

Given vehicle images, we suggest a way to recognize the color of the vehicle contained in the image. The color feature of a vehicle is represented by a color histogram, and we decide the appropriate number of color histogram bins, which mainly affects the successful recognition rate. After generating the histograms, template matching is used to decide the vehicle color. In HSI (hue saturation intensity) color space, experimental results show that the partition of H, S, and I into 8, 4, 4, respectively, achieves the highest success rate up to 88.34%.

RFID is applied widely In many domains. RFID middleware plays an Important role in extracting tag information from the reader and forward it to the backend application systems. How to avoid system failure and reduce performance degradation in a complex and high volume tags environment Is a critical issue for RFID applications. Many researchers use hardware failover to achieve high availability. Some other researchers apply software agents to perform load balance. However, none of them provide a robust solution to the above problems between RFID reader and middleware. This work proposes an intelligent highly available system to RFID middleware. The system uses RFID repository to provide dynamic allocation In different types of readers and maintain task information of middleware. The system also uses the technologies of agent negotiation, genetic algorithm, and fuzzy computation to support highly available and load balance for RFID middleware. The system is applied to entrance guard and attendance checking application. The experimental result shows that the system can provide a highly available RFID middleware with high degree of tag Identification accuracy.

We investigated what influences the average luminance level (ALL) of displayed images, screen illuminance, and viewers ages had on the preferred luminance of LCDs. Twenty young subjects (mean age: 21.8) and 24 seniors (mean age: 68.9) adjusted the luminance of a 17-inch 1000: 1 LCD monitor to their preferred levels under different experimental conditions. The results indicate that the preferred luminance of LCDs corresponded to the following formula: Lp=k x ALLα. This is where Lp is the peak white luminance of the LCDs, k is a constant, and ALL is the average luminance level of the displayed images. Here, α is a constant from -0.19 to -0.20 for the seniors and from -0.14 to -0.17 for the young subjects. The influences of age-related changes in vision and ambient lighting on the luminance requirements for LCDs are also discussed. These results can be applied to the design of luminance-control systems for LCDs.

This paper proposes a new concept of the genetic robot which has its own robot genome, in which each chromosome consists of many genes that contribute to defining the robotpsilas personality. The large number of genes also allows for a highly complex system, however it becomes increasingly difficult and time-consuming to ensure reliability, variability and consistency for the robotpsilas personality while manually initializing values for the individual genes. To overcome this difficulty, this paper proposes an evolutionary algorithm for a genetic robotpsilas personality (EAGRP). EAGRP evolves a gene pool that customizes the robotpsilas genome so that it closely matches a simplified set of features desired by the user. It does this using several new techniques. It acts on a 2 dimensional individual upon which a new masking method, the Eliza-Meme scheme, is used to derive a plausible individual given the restricted preference settings desired by the user. The proposed crossover method allows reproduction for the 2-dimensional genome. Finally, the evaluation procedure for individuals is carried out in a virtual environment using tailored perception scenarios.

It has been widely accepted that for brain MR images, both the image density inhomogeneity (slowly-varying intensity changes across the field of view) and partial-volume effect (PVE) (more than one tissue type present in a single voxel) considerably reduce the accuracy and reliability of quantitative analysis for various clinical purposes. This paper presents a unified expectation-maximization (EM) approach, where PVE and intensity inhomogeneity are combined together into a built-in-one statistical model in additive and multiplicative formats. It assumes that each tissue type follows a conditionally-independent normal distribution, based on which the summation of all tissue contributions multiplied or added by the bias term leads to mean density value at each voxel. Meanwhile, the summation of all the tissue mixtures, which is unobservable but could be estimated via EM framework (many-to-one mapping), multiplied or added by the bias term would lead to the observed image density at each voxel. In doing so, both the inhomogeneity and tissue mixtures are updated voxel-by-voxel until the convergence of a stable solution. Comprehensive tests on simulated brain MR images strongly demonstrated the feasibilities of additive/multiplicative bias models and the effectiveness of the unified EM approach. In addition, additive and multiplicative bias field models reflect advantages in terms of stability and robustness.

In recent years, wireless technologies have been employed by Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS) to reduce the cost of wiring, especially for some secure sites which are not wiring-friendly, However, the PIDS based on state-of-art wireless media such as WLAN, ZigBee, or UWB, suffers from remote distance and noisy wireless links which are easy to fail due to obstacles, signal shadowing and fading. In this paper we propose a PIDS using GPRS and CDMA dual-mode wireless sensor networks (DM-WSNs) to deliver an optimal data transmission service. Moreover. Auto Shutdown mechanism is proposed to address the energy conservation for battery powered sensor devices. We deploy the DW-WSNs in the PIDS of an airport in China, to safeguard the parking apron against illegal intrusion. Practice experience indicates that the DM-WSNs can achieve a better network quality and fully satisfy the first-response requirement of airport security.

Automatic word segmentation is the foundation in Chinese text processing. It is a direction that to study different word segmentation method according to different purpose. Word segmentation and statistics are basic procedures in Chinese automatic summarization based on extraction. A pretreatment system is presented which combined word segmentation and statistics and achieved by 'Positional Remembering and Jump Matching with Statistics' in one scanning process. The experimental results show that it has a high speed and better effect in summarization.

Predicted particle swarm optimization is an enhanced version aiming to increase the utilization ratio of velocity information, and the performance heavily relies upon the parameters settings. According to control theory, the trajectories of position and velocity vectors of each particle can be both viewed as oscillatory links, and the relationship between inertia weight and accelerator coefficients is obtained. Thus, a self-adjusting parameter strategy is proposed. Simulation results show the new proposed strategy is powerful and useful.

In Chinese Question Answering System, in order to improve the accuracy of the passage retrieval which includes answers, this paper presents a method to compute the weight of passage based on the analysis of current passage retrieval methods. The word frequency of query words and query expansion words in passage, the length of passage;the distribution density and minimum match span of query words and query expansion words in passage are considered. The weight calculation of the answer passage is realized. And candidate passage set is retrieved on the basis of the weight Calculation. The experiment result on passage retrieval shows that this method has good effects that the MRR value equals 0.50.
