In this article, BP network learning algorithm is improved by using momentum and genetic algorithm after analyzing the defects of the BP network learning algorithm. So the convergence rate of BP network is speeded up greatly. The vehicle license plate character image is segmented and feature is extracted by edge detection using sobel operator. And then license plates of cars are automatically recognized by using improved BP neural network. This algorithm can improve the speed and accuracy for the automatic identification of the license plates of vehicle.

Event driven architectures are widely used in numerous software applications, for instance in GUI focused software. Currently most event driven softwares are applied merely in local environment. If we need to use event driven architecture in a distributed environment, there are not too many candidates to choose from. Thus, although there are a number of techniques which support the event notification in distributed environments, such as Comet technique and ESB platform, we still require a light-weight and user-friendly system, free from platform and protocol, to support event notification in the Web environment. In this paper we implemented a middleware which supports event subscription and publication based on Web Service. Through the evaluations afterwards we finally found out the limitations of our current system and we offered our suggestions accordingly.

Traditionally, the modeling of sensory neurons has focused on the characterization and/or the learning of input-output relations. Motivated by the view that different neurons impose different partitions on the stimulus space, we propose instead to learn the structure of the stimulus space, as imposed by the cell, by learning a cell specific distance function or kernel. Metaphorically speaking, this direction attempts to bypass the syntactic question of “how the cell speaks”, by focusing instead on the semantic and fundamental question of “what the cell says”. Here we consider neural data from both the inferotemporal cortex (ITC) and the prefrontal cortex (PFC) of macaque monkeys. We learn a cell-specific distance function over the stimulus space as induced by the cell response; the goal is to learn a function such that the distance between stimuli is large when the responses they evoke are very different, and small when the responses they evoke are similar. Our main result shows that after training, when given new stimuli, our ability to predict their similarity to previously seen stimuli is significantly improved. We attempt to exploit this ability to predict the response of the cell to a novel stimuli using KNN over the learnt distances. Furthermore, using our learned kernel we obtain a partitioning of the stimulus space which is more similar to the partition induced by the cell responses as reveled by low dimension embedding, and thus, are able in some of the cases to peek at the semantic partition induced by the cell.

Face recognition systems typically have a rather short operating distance with standoff (distance between the camera and the subject) limited to 1~2 meters. When these systems are used to capture face images at a larger distance (5~10 m), the resulting images contain only a small number of pixels on the face region, resulting in a degradation in face recognition performance. To address this problem, we propose a camera system consisting of one PTZ camera and two static cameras to acquire high resolution face images up to a distance of 10 meters. We propose a novel camera calibration method based on the coaxial configuration between the static and PTZ cameras. We also use a linear prediction model and camera control to mitigate delays in image processing and mechanical camera motion. The proposed system has a larger standoff in face image acquisition and effectiveness in face recognition test. Experimental results on video data collected at a distance ranging from 5 to 10 meters of 20 different subjects as probe and 10,020 subjects as gallery shows 96.4% rank-1 identification accuracy of the proposed method compared to 0.1% rank-1 accuracy of the conventional camera system using a state-of-the-art matcher.

Given a pair of images represented using bag-of-visual-words and a label corresponding to whether the images are “related”(must-link constraint) or “unrelated” (cannot-link constraint), we address the problem of selecting a subset of visual words that are salient in explaining the relation between the image pair. In particular, a subset of features is selected such that the distance computed using these features satisfies the given pairwise constraints. An efficient online feature selection algorithm is presented based on the dual-gradient descent approach. Side information in the form of pair-wise constraints is incorporated into the feature selection stage, providing the user with flexibility to use an unsupervised or semi-supervised algorithm at a later stage. Correlated subsets of visual words, usually resulting from hierarchical quantization process (called groups), are exploited to select a significantly smaller vocabulary. A group-LASSO regularizer is used to drive as many feature weights to zero as possible. We evaluate the quality of the pruned vocabulary by clustering the data using the resulting feature subset. Experiments on PASCAL VOC 2007 dataset using 5000 visual keywords, resulted in around 80% reduction in the number of keywords, with little or no loss in performance.

Automatic illicit drug pill matching and retrieval is becoming an important problem due to an increase in the number of tablet type illicit drugs being circulated in our society. We propose an automatic method to match drug pill images based on the imprints appearing on the tablet. This will help identify the source and manufacturer of the illicit drugs. The feature vector extracted from tablet images is based on edge localization and invariant moments. Instead of storing a single template for each pill type, we generate multiple templates during the edge detection process. This circumvents the difficulties during matching due to variations in illumination and viewpoint. Experimental results using a set of real drug pill images (822 illicit drug pill images and 1,294 legal drug pill images) showed 76.74% (93.02%) rank one (rank-20) matching accuracy.

In this article, BP network learning algorithm is improved by using momentum and genetic algorithm after analyzing the defects of the BP network learning algorithm. Wavelet multi-scale edge detection is used to segment the vehicle image and extract the feature of the image. And then the features of moment invariants and improved BP neural network models are used to automatically recognize and classify the vehicle image. This algorithm can improve the speed and accuracy for the automatic identification and classification of the vehicle.
