A daytime and nighttime color image fusion method based on IHS transform and Multi-Wavelet transform is presented. The method can automatically merge images of a scene captured under different illumination and can be used for practical purposes. Specifically, the fused image can give more information of the context of night-time traffic videos, which makes them easier to be understood. The context is automatically captured by a camera in a fixed-position during daytime and then is fused into a nighttime image of the same scene. The advantages of this method are that it preserves the important local perceptual cues and it can avoid the problems with traditional methods such as aliasing, ghosting and haloing.

Image fusion is the process of combining the most relevant information from multiple source images to obtain an accurate fused image. In this paper, we want to fuse visual and thermal satellite images. In order to provide enhanced information, we have investigated techniques of image fusion to obtain the most accurate information. This paper presents a technique which will produce an accurate fused image using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for feature extraction and using Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to get the more optimized combined image. The performance of the proposed image fusion scheme is evaluated with mutual information (MI), root mean square error (RMSE), and it is also compared to the fused image that is generated by using Pixel Level GA based Image Fusion (PLGA_IF) and Discrete Wavelet Transform based Image Fusion (DWT_IF) techniques. Simulation results conducted with DWT and GA show that the proposed method outperforms the existing image fusion algorithms.

This paper presents a vision tracking system to achieve high recognition performance under dynamic circumstances, using a fuzzy logic controller. The main concept of the proposed system is based on the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR) and the opto-kinetic reflex (OKR) of the human eye. To realize the VOR concept, MEMS inertial sensors and encoders are used for robot motion detection. This concept turns the camera towards a selected target, counteracting the robot motion. Based on the OKR concept, the targeting errors are periodically compensated, using vision information. The fuzzy logic controller uses sensor data fusion to detect slip or collision occurrences. To calculate a heading angle of the camera accurately, the output of the fuzzy logic controller and the vision information from the camera are combined, using an extended Kalman filter. The proposed vision tracking system is implemented in a mobile robot and evaluated experimentally. The experimental results are obtained as the tracking and the recognition success rate using a mobile robot. The developed system achieved the excellent tracking and recognition performance during slip or collision occurrences under dynamic circumstances.

Motivated by biological applications, this paper addresses the problem of network reconstruction from data. Previous work has shown necessary and sufficient conditions for network reconstruction of noise-free LTI systems. This paper assumes that the conditions for network reconstruction have been met but here we additionally take into account noise and unmodelled dynamics (including nonlinearities). Algorithms are therefore proposed to reconstruct dynamical (Boolean) network structure from time-series (steady-state) data respectively in presence of noise and nonlinearities. In order to identify the network structure that generated the data, we compute the smallest distances between the measured data and the data that would have been generated by particular Boolean structures. Information criteria and optimisation technique balancing such distance and model complexity are introduced to search for the true structure. We conclude with biologically-inspired network reconstruction examples which include noise and nonlinearities.

Since the medical training samples are very limited, it is difficult to construct a statistical shape model with good generalization using few samples. In this paper, we propose a novel statistical shape modeling method using 2D PCA. The 3D shape is represented as a matrix by spherical parameterization. The experiments showed that our proposed method can reconstruct statistical shape model with good generalization even using fewer samples.

In this study, we design and present the novel wearable system with the interactive posture caption and recognition functions based on the non-vision over the ZigBee wireless sensor network (ZigBee-WSN). There are two type sensors, 3-axis accelerometer and clip type, to be employed in our wearable system. These sensors are arranged on user's four limbs such that the posture information can be gathered by them. Then, the posture information is transmitted to the data-controlling center over ZigBee-WSN. Finally, this center can analyze and distinguish various postures by our proposed algorithm through the friend user's interface to express. Our presented wearable system can distinguish out 28 kinds of hand postures and 13 kinds of leg postures altogether. Moreover, under our presented ZigBee-WSN system with small size, low-power consumption, and high-reliability characteristics, the data-controlling center can simultaneously tele-monitor the real-time body interactive postures of 8 persons, when the transmitting distance is less than 18 M and the package correct transmitted rate is more than 97.5%.

The paper deals with simulation, control and visualization of color-sorting machine. It is based on Matlab family products. In particular, Matlab R2007b and Simulink as a general simulation environment, with Stateflow to simulate STD-based models. Virtual Reality Toolbox for 3D visualization and Real Time Toolbox for connection between simulation and real world. Using Tagaki-Sugeno method, expert fuzzy system is designed for color detection which is most crucial part of the project. Physical model of color-sorting machine was developed at the laboratory of department of Measurement and control. Because of complexity of the system it can be integrated in the lessons of Image Processing and control systems.

Automatic image annotation, which aims at automatically identifying and then assigning semantic keywords to the meaningful objects in a digital image, is not a very difficult task for human but has been regarded as a difficult and challenging problem to machines. In this paper, we present a hierarchical annotation scheme considering that generally human s visual identification to a scenery object is a rough-to-fine hierarchical process. First, the input image is segmented into multiple regions and each segmented region is roughly labeled with a general keyword using the multi-classification support vector machine. Since the results of rough annotation affect fine annotation directly, we construct the statistical contextual relationship to revise the improper labels and improve the accuracy of rough annotation. To obtain reasonable fine annotation for those roughly classified regions, we propose an active semi-supervised expectation-maximization algorithm, which can not only find the representative pattern of each fine class but also classify the roughly labeled regions into corresponded fine classes. Finally, the contextual relationship is applied again to revise the improper fine labels. To illustrate the effectiveness of the presented approaches, a prototype image annotation system is developed, the preliminary results of which showed that the hierarchical annotation scheme is effective.

Cyber-physical system (CPS) integrates physics with Internet to provide a timely, confidential and efficient interaction of physical appliances with people. However, as a CPS Application, Smart Home still has difficulties in building a centralized interaction for remote monitoring. The paper presents the interaction model of Smart Community Cyber-Physical System (SCCPS) with the name Net-in-Net. The proposed model interaction is organized as a Wireless Sensor Network with Zigbee and GPRS technologies. Furthermore, B/S and C/S mixed mode is used as the architecture of remote interaction. After that a Cyber Protocol of application layer is proposed. Such model is supposed to provide a smart home interaction of high Security, reliability, stability and timeliness.

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have become indispensable to the realization of smart homes. The objective of this paper is to develop such a WSN that can be used to construct smart home systems. The focus is on the design and implementation of the wireless sensor node and the coordinator based on ZigBee technology. A monitoring system is built by taking advantage of the GPRS network. To support multi-hop communications, an improved routing algorithm based on the Dijkstra algorithm is presented. Preliminary simulations have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the algorithm.
