Classification of high resolution urban remote sensing imagery is addressed. The classification is done by both considering the panchromatic imagery and the multi-spectral image obtained using the spectrally consistent fusion method introduced in [1]. The data are classified using support vector machines (SVM). To further enhance the classification accuracy, mathematical morphology is used to derive local spatial information from the panchromatic data. In particular we use the Morphological Profile (MP) in classification of satellite imagery as was proposed in [2, 3]. We also use the derivative of the MP (DMP). In the majority of the image fusion (pansharpening) techniques proposed today, there is a compromise between the spatial enhancement and the spectral consistency. By comparing classification results obtained by using our model based scheme [1] to results obtained using the IHS and Brovey fusion methods, we find that spectrally consistent data give better results when it comes to classification.

Visual information retrieval systems are often constructed upon the notion of image similarity. The concept of image similarity may be defined in many ways: from a pure visual level, where we seek identical images, to a semantic level related with human perception the image. In our research we address the first approach, we explore topics of image matching (image alignment), however in terms of image fragments. The goal of image fragment matching is to find similar parts of two images, without a given model of particular objects present on images. It is also assumed that the number of similar objects (image fragments) is not known. In this paper we present a novel method for image fragment matching. It uses two ellipse pairs as an elementary object for image geometry reconstruction. The method is an extension of the previously proposed approach based on triangles. We have decided to replace triangles with a different geometrical structure to reduce computational complexity from O(n 3 ) to O(n 2 ), where n is the number of coherent key regions. We discuss and compare both matching methods both in terms of quality and processing efficiency.

Artificial Immune Systems (AISs) are composed of techniques inspired by immunology. The clonal selection principle ensures the organism adaptation to fight invading antigens by an immune response activated by the binding of antigens and antibodies. As an immune response can be elicited even when the binding between an antigen and an antibody is not perfect, an approximate binding might suffice, and a Fuzzy Logic mechanism might be the most appropriate mechanism to control such process. This paper presents a novel hybrid model based on concepts of Immune and Fuzzy Systems with applications to pattern recognition problems. The preliminary results obtained here suggest the proposed model is a promising pattern recognition tool.

This paper studies some fundamental properties on signal propagation in one-dimensional cellular neural networks with the antisymmetric template under the assumption that the initial output has only one connected component. A new sufficient condition for the component to propagate without attenuation is derived through theoretical analysis. It is also proved that under the same condition the final output is a black-and-white image having only one black at the right-most pixel, which means that the network can perform connected component detection when the input image has only one connected component.

An autoimmune disorder is a condition that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys healthy body parts. The epidemiology of these diseases is a matter of study and discussion, with many published results worldwide. We have critically collected more than 100 publications, analyzing autoimmune diseases' frequencies in various populations and ethnic groups. Simultaneously, we developed a web application in order to host the collected data. By utilizing Microsoft Silverlight technology, we have built a multimedia web frontend, in order to support a high level visualization of the data and the mining process. In parallel we continue the data mining process and the update of our database.

An important issue in the analysis of two-dimensional electrophoresis images is the detection and quantification of protein spots. The main challenges in the segmentation of 2DGE images are to separate overlapping protein spots correctly and to find the abundance of weak protein spots. To enable comparison of protein patterns between different samples, it is necessary to match the patterns so that homologous spots are identified. In this paper we describe a new robust technique to segment and model the different spots present in the gels. The watershed segmentation algorithm is modified to handle the problem of over segmentation by initially partitioning the image to mosaic regions using the composition of fuzzy relations. The experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm to overcome the over segmentation problem associated with the available algorithms.

Recently, there have been lots of researches on how to provide personalized services to different users according to their personal characters, needs, situations, contexts and so on. Such personalized services are often based on users' profiles provided by the users in the beginning, and users' records or experiences in using corresponding systems in certain periods. However, different systems or terminals collect user information independently and cannot share the user's personal information collected by these different systems/terminals. As a result, each system can only utilize the limited information collected by the system itself to provide services or recommendations, and it thus cannot meet what users' needs in varied situations across the different systems/terminals. Therefore, it is still an open issue on how to gather, share and utilize various kinds of personal information to effective personalized services in right time, right place and right means to users. In this paper, a case study for personalized pervasive learning is discussed as one typical application of the concept of Cyber-I, an individual's counterpart on the cyberspace. The Cyber-I aims to provide a better environment for users to obtain what they may really need on the Web, and it can be considered as an innovated possibility of web usage scenario in the near future. Our case study using pervasive devices (iPad, cell phone, and laptop) for learning issues can be regarded as the best practice to support the proposed Cyber-I.
