Knowing the locations of nodes in wireless sensor networks (WSN) is essential for many applications. Nodes in a WSN can have multiple capabilities and exploiting one or more of the capabilities can help to solve the localization problem. In this paper, we assume that each node in a WSN has the capability of distance measurement and present a location computation technique called linear intersection for node localization. We also propose an applied localization model using linear intersection and do some concerned experiments to estimate the location computation algorithm.

In image database retrieval there are many classical similarity measures that can be used to find the target image, these measures are mostly belong to geometry model from the point of view of the data model, while little attention has been devoted to the studies on methods based on probability density distribution. In this paper we experimental investigate some probabilistic similarity measures, present two methods for design of the similarity function of two mixture Gaussian distributions, on the basis of the nearest neighbor rule and K nearest neighbor rule respectively. An experimental study was conducted to examine and evaluate the measures for application to image databases, and the experiment results show that the methods based on K nearest neighbor rule achieve better performance.

Segmentation becomes a difficult task if the objects and background are not homogeneous and having overlapping characteristics. Cattle segmentation from its background is required in several typical applications, such as: the automatic cattle race classification. The cattle's fur detection which is inspired from the human skin detection is investigated in this paper for cattle and background segmentation in automatic beef cattle race classification. The Gaussian mixture model that was used in skin detection has been adopted to model Bali cow and Hybrid Ongole cow in this beef cattle race classification. The RGB color space and two texture descriptors are used as the features set. The addition of texture descriptor has increased the performance of the fur detection and automatic race classification. The GMM performs well but the noise and the complexity of the background lead to misclassification.

Batik, as a cultural heritage from Indonesia, has a lot of motifs based on certain patterns. This paper discusses feature extraction methods for the recognition of batik motifs in digital images. In this study, the use of several feature extraction methods have been compared in terms of their performance with several scenarios for testing level accuracy. The methods include Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM), Canny Edge Detection, and Gabor filters. The experimental results show that the use of GLCM features has performed the best with a classification accuracy reaching 80%.

A considerable amount of research work has been done for texture classification using local or global feature extraction methods. Inspired by Weber's Law, a simple and robust Weber Local Descriptor (WLD) is a recently developed for local feature extraction. This WLD method did not consider the contrast information. In order to improve texture classification accuracy, we propose a hybrid approach that combines the WLD with contrast information in this paper. It utilizes the histogram of two complementary features WLD and the image variance calculated with the Probability Weighted Moments. Support vector machine is used for classification. The comparison of the proposed method with state of art methods like local binary pattern and WLD is experimental investigated on two publically available dataset, named as Brodatz and KTH-TIPS2-a. Results show that our proposed method outperforms over the state of art methods for texture classification.

The purpose of image fusion is to combine information from several different source images to one image, which becomes reliable and much easier to be comprehended by people. Based on analyzing the relations of average and standard deviation of the two or more source images, a new strategy to improve image fusion effect and a new evaluation measure named RAS (the ratio between average and standard deviation) are proposed in this paper. We apply wavelet transform to decompose an image into low-frequency sub-image and high-frequency sub-images and apply different fusion rules respectively to low-frequency sub-image and high-frequency sub-images. According to subjective evaluation and objective criteria, such as entropy, root mean square error (RMSE), peak-to-peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR),RAS, the proposed strategy is very effective and universal to some extent for fusing a class of images whose average and standard deviation are approximately equal respectively through extensive experiments.
