A robust face pose estimation approach is proposed by using face shape statistical model approach and pose parameters are represented by trigonometric functions. The face shape statistical model is firstly built by analyzing the face shapes from different people under varying poses. The shape alignment is vital in the process of building the statistical model. Then, six trigonometric functions are employed to represent the face pose parameters. Lastly, the mapping function is constructed between face image and face pose by linearly relating different parameters. The proposed approach is able to estimate different face poses using a few face training samples. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate its efficiency and accuracy.

A novel latent semantic indexing （LSI） approach for content-based image retrieval is presented in this paper. Firstly, an extension of non-negative matrix factorization （NMF） to supervised initialization is discussed. Then, supervised NMF is used in LSI to find the relationships between low-level features and high-level semantics. The retrieved results are compared with other approaches and a good performance is obtained.

Smooth interpolants defined over tetrahedra are currently being developed for they have many applications in geography, solid modeling, finite element analysis, etc. In this paper, we will characterize a certain class of C-1 discrete tetrahedral interpolants with only C-1 data required. As special cases of the class characterized, we give two C-1 discrete tetrahedral interpolants which have concise expressions.

A color-based visual technique is described based on the mean shift image segmentation method providing relevant information for robust localization of the visible road area in Urban Intelligent Transportation System (U-ITS). The traffic image sequences are firstly trained to extract the background and then segmented into separated parts by the mean shift method as initialization, regions with the number of pixels not less than a threshold and with more uniform surfaces with the 'same' color compared to their environment are filtered as recognized road area. The algorithm given in this paper can present road area recognition with arbitrary shapes, which is fit for unstructured road applications in urban cities very well.

Elliptical splats are used to represent and render the isosurface of volume data. The method consists of two steps. The first step is to extract points on the isosurface by looking up the case table. In the second step, properties of splats are computed based on local geometry. Rendering is achieved using surface splatting algorithm. The obtained results show that the extraction time of isosurfaces can be reduced by a factor of three. So our approach is more appropriate for interactive visualization of large medical data than the classical marching cubes (MC) technique.

Pupil localization is a very important preprocessing step in many reel applications. Accurate and robust pupil localization in non-ideal eye images is a challenging task. A detailed method of pupil localization in non-ideal eye images is proposed. This method is implemented in three main phases： first, segment the rough pupil region based on Gaussian Mixture Model： then modify the rough segmentation result using morphological method to minimize the influence of some disturbing factors; last estimate the pupil parameters based on minimizing the least square error. The proposed method is first tested on CASIA iris image dataset, and then on our self-captured iris dataset which contains a wider variety of iris images. Experiments show that the proposed method can perform well for nonideal eye images of various qualities.

A semiautomatic segmentation method based on active contour is proposed for computed tomography (CT) image series. First, to get initial contour, one image slice was segmented exactly by C-V method based on Mumford-Shah model. Next, the computer will segment the nearby slice automatically using the snake model one by one. During segmenting of image slices, former slice boundary, as next slice initial contour, may cross over next slice real boundary and never return to right position. To avoid contour skipping over, the distance variance between two slices is evaluated by an threshold, which decides whether to initiate again. Moreover, a new improved marching cubes (MC) algorithm based on 2D images series segmentation boundary is given for 3D image reconstruction. Compared with the standard method, the proposed algorithm reduces detecting time and needs less storing memory. The effectiveness and capabilities of the algorithm were illustrated by experimental results.

A novel approach based on independent component analysis (ICA) for speckle filtering and target extraction of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed using adaptive space separation with weighted information entropy (WIE) incorporated. First the basis and the independent components are respectively obtained by ICA technique, and WIE of the image is computed; then based on the threshold computed from function T-WIE (threshold versus weighted-information-entropy), independent components are adaptively separated and the bases are classified accordingly. Thus, the image space is separated into two subspaces: "clean" and "noise". Then, a proposed nonlinear operator ABO is applied on each component of the 'clean' subspace for further optimization. Finally, recovery image is obtained reconstructing this subspace and target is easily extracted with binarisation. Note that here T-WIE is an interpolated function based on several representative target SAR images using proposed space separation algorithm.

The reasonable design of particle filter framework in multi-sensor observation system is the key to expand the application domain of sampling nonlinear filters. Aiming at the effective realization of particle filter for multi-sensor target tracking problem, a novel average weight optimization Rao-Blackwellised particle filtering al- gorithm is proposed. Combining with the kinetic equation of target state evolution, RBPF is used as the basic es- timator of algorithm realization. For the rational utiliza- tion from multi-sensor observations and the reduction of the adverse influence from random observations noise in measuring process of particles weight, the average weight optimization strategy is used to improve the reliability and stability of particle weight variance. In addition, we give the concrete flow of RBPF in average weight optimization strategy. Finally, the theoretical analysis and experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.
