A quick 3D needle segmentation algorithm for 3D US data is described in this paper. The algorithm includes the 3D quick randomized Hough transform (3DGHT), which is based on the 3D randomized Hough transform and coarse-fine searching strategy. We tested it with water phantom. The results show that our algorithm works well in 3D US images with angular deviation less than 1 degree and position deviation less than 1 mm, and the computational time of segmentation with 35 MB data is within 1s.

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.

Short-term forecasting of travel time is essential for the success of intelligent transportation system. In this paper, we review the state-of-art of short-term traffic forecasting models and outline their basic ideas, related works, advantages and disadvantages of each model. An improved adaptive exponential smoothing (IAES) model is also proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the previous adaptive exponential smoothing model. Then, comparing experiments are carried out under normal traffic condition and abnormal traffic condition to evaluate the performance of four main branches of forecasting models on direct travel time data obtained by license plate matching (LPM). The results of experiments show each model seems to have its own strength and weakness. The forecasting performance of IASE is superior to other models in shorter forecasting horizon (one and two step forecasting) and the IASE is capable of dealing with all kind of traffic conditions.

A new model-based speech enhancement algorithm by variational Bayesian learning was proposed in this paper. Autoregressive process was used to model speech signal and its order was determined automatically. Clean speech signal could be estimated using a variational Kalman smoother. Moreover, overfitting was avoided in the learning of model parameter and model structure. Experimental results compared with Kalman filter-based enhancement and spectral subtraction methods demonstrate the performance of our algorithm.

An efficient image denoising algorithm is introduced. Firstly, image pixels are classified into noisy pixels and noise-free pixels by four directional operators. Then an adaptive weighted median filter is designed to remove and restore the detected noisy pixels and keep the noise-free ones unchanged. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm preserves image details well while removing impulsive noise efficiently, and its filtering performance is significantly superior to the classical median filter and some other typical and recently developed improved median filters.

In order to perform a high-quality interactive rendering of large medical data sets on a single off-the-shelf PC, a LOD selection algorithm for multi-resolution volume rendering using 3D texture mapping is presented, which uses an adaptive scheme that renders the volume in a region-of-interest at a high resolution and the volume away from this region at lower resolutions. The algorithm is based on several important criteria, and rendering is done adaptively by selecting high-resolution cells close to a center of attention and low-resolution cells away from this area. In addition, our hierarchical level-of-detail representation guarantees consistent interpolation between different resolution levels. Experiments have been applied to a number of large medical data and have produced high quality images at interactive frame rates using standard PC hardware.

A novel way achieving geometrical reconstruction of actual human face through projecting two types of texture on face in short time is advanced. The first type texture is stripe which is used to establish parallax grid between images. Taking into account of its results, the second type projecting texture is used to match by virtue of its abundant traits. After realizing geometrical reconstruction, the paper provides a general way about achieving actual texture reconstruction by the outer spherical surface surrounding object. In order to uniform color, it deals with parts of images in conjunct region and makes the color change meeting a certain function on condition of keeping their original information mostly. Results show this way can improve reconstruction quality and decrease complicacy of algorithm.
