Anisotropic diffusion can remove noise to some extent in imageprocessing. However the contradiction between diffusion and preservation still exists. In this paper, a new nonlinear diffusion model for image noise removal and feature preservation is presented. This model treats inhomogeneity region and image feature adaptively by discontinuity measure and local gradient information. A well balance between diffusion and preservation is also made in this new diffusion method. Experiments results show that the proposed method has high performance compared to other literature methods and is an ideal edge-preserving filtering method. In addition, we use block-based noise estimation to estimate deviation in diffusion equation

A Hopfield neural network approach to blind bilevel image restoration is presented. In the approach, two kinds of Hopfield neural networks are used. One is the analog Hopfield neural network, utilized to estimate the parameters of the finite point spread function (PSF) of a blurring system. The other one is the modified Hopfield neural network used to restore bilevel image. The entire model is based on the alternative operation of the two networks. In the modified Hopfield neural network, the eliminating highest error (EHE) criterion is applied for the purpose of obtaining a more precise solution. Simulation results show that, after a few iterations, the model always obtains a bilevel image whose quality is almost the same as, or even better than, what is obtained by the modified Hopfield network when the precise parameters of PSF are used. The results are quite good. If the EHF criterion is not used, the model does not achieve a good bi-level image.< >

Visual saliency detection has gained its popularity in computer vision in recent years. Depth information is proven as a fundamental element of human vision while it is underutilized in existing saliency detection approaches. In this paper, an effective visual object saliency detection model via RGB and depth cues mutual guided manifold ranking is proposed. The depth features are extracted to guide the saliency ranking of RGB image while the RGB saliency is used as the guide of depth map ranking as well. We obtain the final result by fusing the RGB and depth saliency maps. The experimental result on a benchmark dataset which contains 1000 RGB-D images demonstrates the effectiveness and superior performance compared with several state-of-art methods.

The Laplacian of Gaussian operator, Del /sup 2/G, is very important as an edge detector in the theory of computer vision. The bias of zero-crossing and output signal-to-noise-ratio of Del /sup 2/G under the models of four typical kinds of edges corrupted by white noise are given, and these theoretical results are confirmed by experiments. The relations among bias of zero-crossing, output and input signal-to-noise-ratio and parameter sigma of Del /sup 2/G are presented.< >

In wireless sensor networks, target classification differs from that in centralized sensing systems because of the distributed detection, wireless communication and limited resources. We study the classification problem of moving vehicles in wireless sensor networks using acoustic signals emitted from vehicles. Three algorithms including wavelet decomposition, weighted k-nearest-neighbor and Dempster-Shafer theory are combined in this paper. Finally, we use real world experimental data to validate the classification methods. The result shows that wavelet based feature extraction method can extract stable features from acoustic signals. By fusion with Dempster's rule, the classification performance is improved.

A novel evolutionary algorithm called probability evolutionary algorithm (PEA) is proposed, which is inspired by the quantum computation and quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithm (QEA). The individual in PEA is encoded by a probabilistic superposed bit which can represent a linear superposition of the states 0 to k (k ges 1). The observing step is used in PEA to obtain the observed individual, and the update method is used to evolve the population. The function optimization and 0-k knapsack problem experiments show that PEA has apparent superior in application area, searching capability and computation time compared with QEA and canonical genetic algorithm (CGA).

In this paper, the subjective image quality for different image content is investigated by psychophysical experiments. The experimental images are the parts from natural scenes distorted by integer transform and quantization in H.264 frame. These images are divided into two types based on the scene content, type I and type II. The perceived thresholds and subjective graded scores for different quantization are obtained using forced choice staircase experiments and graded response experiments, respectively. The subjective assessment results showed that the image quality of type I degrades much more than the type II when quantization steps increase, and the preliminary experiment showed that the existed IQA metric, i.e. SSIM, could not predict it well. We also present a content-based image classifier to predict the two image types. The results show good accordance between the classifier and the subjective assessment.

Geographic routing protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have received more attentions in recent years and greedy forwarding algorithm is a main component in geographic routing. In this paper, we investigate the forwarding criterions in greedy forwarding algorithms and present a greedy routing algorithm using a new criterion combining the characteristics of both distance-based criterion and direction-based criterion. Simulation is provided to compare the performance of our algorithm with those of the algorithm with distance-based criterion and the algorithm with direction-based criterion. The results show that our proposed algorithm is a preferred option in terms of the trade-off between transformation delay and energy consumption in the routing.

Multisensor image registration is a difficult problem. In this paper, we give a new registration method using direct histogram specification technique. We find that after using histogram specification, the resulting images with the same view look more similar, though the original images gained by different sensors differ much in intensity. Based on this property, a novel approach to find matching block pairs is proposed. The centers of the block pairs are used as control points (cps). We also use the cluster method of the nearest function criterion to test the correctness of the cps and discard wrong ones. The algorithm has been tested by many aerial images of different sensors. The effectiveness is illustrated by the experimental results.
