A statistical algorithm for the reconstruction from time sequence echocardiographic images is proposed in this paper. The ability to jointly restore the images and reconstruct the 3D images without blurring the boundary is the main innovation of this algorithm. First, a Bayesian model based on MAP-MRF is used to reconstruct 3D volume, and extended to deal with the images acquired by rotation scanning method. Then, the spatiotemporal nature of ultrasound images is taken into account for the parameter of energy function, which makes this statistical model anisotropic. Hence not only can this method reconstruct 3D ultrasound images, but also remove the speckle noise anisotropically. Finally, we illustrate the experiments of our method on the synthetic and medical images and compare it with the isotropic reconstruction method.

Precise pupil features detection is an important factor for face recognition. This paper presents a robust and accurate algorithm to precisely estimate pupil features: pupil center and pupil radius. First, a pupil parameters estimation step is taken and a weight ring mask is created. Then, a weighted Hough transform is used to precisely extract pupil features. Because of the estimation step, the influence of eyelid and eyelash is largely eliminated. The experimental results show very good robustness and accuracy

When computer vision technique is used in robotics, robotic hand-eye calibration is a very important research task. Many algorithms have been proposed for hand-eye calibration. Based on these algorithms, we introduce a new hand-eye calibration algorithm in this paper, which employs the screw motion theory to establish a hand-eye matrix equation by using quaternion and gets a simultaneous result for rotation and translation by solving linear equations. The algorithm proposed in this paper has high and stable computational efficiency without non-linear minimization and can be understood easily. Both simulations and real experiments show the superiority of our algorithm over the comparative algorithms

In this paper, we employ the concept of characteristic line to show some useful properties of planar homography matrix. These properties relate the characteristic line of a planar homography matrix with Euler angles of the planar pattern. Based on the characteristic line, a new method of linear camera calibration is proposed and a strategy to select poses of planar pattern during taking calibration images is suggested. This strategy can help ensure accuracy of calibration. Experiment results including both simulated data and real images validate the method and strategy

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

An efficient framework utilizing both local features and geometrical distribution for detecting facial components is presented. First, candidate facial components are efficiently collected by cascaded boosting of Haar-like features. The candidates may include false positives and multiple detections. Then, geometrical distribution of facial components is imposed on the candidates to select the optimal configuration. For simplicity, we suppose full dependence between the components and model it with multivariate Gaussian. The effectiveness of the framework is evaluated with experiments

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.

By introducing the velocity difference between the preceding car and the car before the preceding one into the optimal velocity model (OVM), we present an extended dynamical model which takes into account the next-nearest-neighbor interaction. The stability condition of this model is derived by considering a small perturbation around the uniform flow solution with finding that traffic congestion is suppressed efficiently by incorporating the effect of new consideration. Then we investigate the property of the model using numerical methods. The results indicate that the next-nearest-neighbor interaction has important impacts on the coexisting flow, the relation between flow and density, and the propagation speed of small disturbance (PSSD). In addition, we have a try to further enhance the stability of traffic flow by introducing the relative velocity of an arbitrary number of cars in front, but the analysis of linear stability shows it is poor for our purpose
