In this paper, we present the development of a digital image retrieval technique using autocorrelogram and wavelet based texture feature. Autocorrelogram is a color feature that is able to incorporate the spatial correlation of alike color and is tolerant to large changes in appearance, color, contrast, and brightness. A wavelet transform is used to analyze the textures that are characterized by their energy distribution in each sub-band. We propose an integration of the autocorrelogram and wavelet based texture to improve the performance of the image retrieval system. Experimental results suggest that the proposed integration offers much better performance than using the features separately.

This paper presents the comparative study of on-line testing methods for AMS systems application to decimation filters. We present a case-study implementation of high-level-synthesis-for-testability (HLSFT) methodology for the case of a decimation filter implemented in a BIST circuitry for mixed-signal core testing. Three different self-test techniques are studied and compared for a 0.6, 0.35 and 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS technologies.

This paper presents a new scheme of WDM/OCDMA system that capable of providing differentiated services in access network. We implement the proposed double-weight (DW) code in this system. The double-weight (DW) code has a fixed weight of 2 and exists for every natural number, n. In spectral-amplitude-coding optical code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, DW code has an ideal cross correlation to eliminate multiuser interference and suppress the noise. We analyze the performance of the system by evaluating the bit error rate (BER) of different services.

This paper describes a music searching system based on an automatic indexing process created over a pattern recognition tool and MPEG-7 standard. We present a complete analysis of the involved technologies integration process and show a reference measure in the feasibility of this kind of application not only in the research environment but also in the production of real systems.

In this paper, a cluster-based framework is introduced for comparing analysis methods of functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI). In the proposed framework, fMRI data is replaced with a feature space and each method considered as a clustering method in the new space. As a result, different methods can be compared by means of a cluster validity measure. The feature space is computed using a non-parametric method (principal component analysis-PCA). Four subjects have been analyzed with three methods and the proposed cluster-based framework has evaluated performance of the methods. The results are identical to those of the modified receiver operating characteristics (ROC). This validates the proposed approach.

Automatic segmentation of brain tissues is crucial to many medical imaging applications. We use a multi-resolution analysis and a power transform to extend the well-known Gaussian mixture model expectation maximization based algorithm for segmentation of white matter, gray matter, and cerebrospinal fluid from T1-weighted magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the brain. Experimental results with near 4000 synthetic and real images are included. The results illustrate that the proposed method outperforms six existing methods.

Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) is a non-invasive technique for assessing biochemical fingerprint of tissue composition. The need to differentiate between normal and abnormal tissues and determine type of abnormality before biopsy or surgery motivated development and application of MRSI. There are several technical reasons that make the brain easier than other organs to be examined with MRSI. This work presents our proposed methods and results for the analysis of the brain spectra of patients with three tumor types (malignant glioma, astrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma). After extracting features from MRSI data using wavelet and wavelet packets, we use artificial neural networks to determine the abnormal spectra and the type of abnormality. We evaluated the proposed methods using clinical and simulated MRSI data and biopsy results. The MRSI analysis results were correct 97% of the time when classifying the spectra of the clinical MRSI data into normal tissue, tumor, and radiation necrosis. They were correct 72% and 83% of the time when determining tumor types using the clinical and simulated MRSI data, respectively.

CU VOCAL is a Cantonese text-to-speech (TTS) engine. We use a syllable-based concatenative synthesis approach to generate intelligible and natural synthetic speech in Cantonese. The paper reports on our recent enhancements in CU VOCAL to support user adjustments in prosody and style with the use of the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) in the input text. CU VOCAL was previously developed as a SAPI-compliant engine to enable easy integration with other applications. The paper also reports on our enhancements in the CU VOCAL SAPI (speech API) engine to support the SAPI 5 XML tags.

Weather information is an excellent representation of atmospheric phenomenon. People with little or no atmospheric knowledge can understand weather forecasts and make good use of it in their daily life. Although Internet information flow does not include this system, it is essential for fitting both the technical and non-technical users. Users need to see the current traffic status of their own ISP or zone, even if some users curiously want to see other zones or the global traffic status. To fulfill this requirement for users, this paper approached a new model called the Ryuki model. In the four planes of the Ryuki model, we captured flow information from the bottom plane, estimated the flows, and introduced three mathematical indices in the second plane. The indices are Ryuki temperature, Ryuki pressure and Ryuki density. The third plane is the service plane where two types of services are introduced. And finally, the top plane represents the network status of the zone. Zone is used as an autonomous system (AS) in this document. A well-known network simulator is used in the simulation for collecting network traffic to estimate the service (QoS and CoS) related information.
