Weak boundary contrast, inhomogeneous background and overlapped intensity distributions of the object and background are main causes that may lead to failure of boundary detection for many traditional active contour methods. In this paper, we propose a region-based active contour model to address these problems in both local and global ways. A localized active contour framework is developed, in which two local boundary measures are introduced for the evolution of the level set function. These measures are used to select the boundary candidates for boundary preservation such that the evolution of the contour is guided in a reasonable way. The object boundary is determined by a global boundary measure which evaluates the boundary completeness during the entire evolution process. The experiments demonstrate that our method works well against weak boundary contrast, inhomogeneous background and overlapped intensity distributions.

Figs like other agricultural products may include cancerogenic aflatoxin which is caused by Aspergillus type molds. Under the UV illumination, a large portion of the aflatoxin contaminated figs expose Bright Greenish Yellow Fluorescence (BGYF) in visible light spectrum. Using the fluorescence properties, the contaminated figs are visually detected and manually removed by workers. However, this procedure could not eliminate all the aflatoxin contaminated figs and the UV exposure may cause skin cancer on workers under UV illumination. Besides, the reflectance outside the visible spectrum may include significant information for aflatoxin contamination. In this study, we investigate the NIR reflectance spectroscopy for the detection of aflatoxin contaminated figs and correctly classified the figs with 90% mean accuracy.

Segmentation algorithms are widely used in image processing. These methods have different complexity values and the choice of reasonable methods decreases on large images. Especially on the medical images with large size, it may take days to perform segmentation in some methods. However, parallel implementation may eliminate the drawback of these algorithms to some extent. In this study, we propose to implement segmentation algorithms in parallel using Graphical Processing Unit. Using the proposed implementation, the computation time of the K-centers, K-means and DBSCAN algorithms were decreases 87, 642 and 2 times, respectively.

This paper proposes a new affine registration algorithm for 2D point matching. It is a two-step iterative registration algorithm by soft weight assignment based on bidirectional distance. At each iteration, the affine transformation is updated by two optimization steps, in which the model data and the test data are matched from each other respectively. By the optimization of registration at separate steps during each iteration, the proposed algorithm can provide a good estimate of the accurate affine transformation in condition of poor initialization and lack of geometric assumptions on point sets. Some experiments about comparison with the current state-of-the art approaches, demonstrate the robustness and accuracy of our method.

This BNAIC compressed contribution provides a summary of the work originally presented at the First IAPR Workshop on Partially Supervised Learning and published in [5]. It outlines the idea behind supervised and semi-supervised learning and highlights the major shortcoming of many current methods. Having identified the principal reason for their limitations, it briefly sketches a conceptually different take on the matter for linear discriminant analysis (LDA). Finally, the contribution hints at some of the results obtained. For any details, the reader is of course referred to [5].

A novel wideband 5.8GHz CPW-fed an- tenna is presented for Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Four U-shaped and four L-shaped branches are used as additional resonators to achieve wideband operation. The proposed antenna was analyzed numeri- cally using the Method of moment (MOM) and the Fi- nite element method (FEM). With the antenna size lim- ited to 30 × 30mm2, the ?10dB bandwidth obtained by MOM is 3.235GHz (5.765~9GHz) and the ?9.5dB band- width obtained by FEM is 2.74GHz (5.32~8.06GHz), cor- responding to 55.7% and 47.2% of the center frequency 5.8GHz respectively. Moreover, the simulated results show that the proposed antenna has gain of more than 4.8dBi and the radiation pattern is nearly omnidirectional in the H-plane. The measured ?10dB bandwidth is 2.68GHz (5.63GHz~8.31GHz), 46.2% of the 5.8GHz frequency. Fur- thermore, there are three measured resonant frequencies at 1.34GHz, 3.23GHz and 5.8GHz with lower than ?10dB return loss respectively. The measurement result achieves a wideband RFID tag antenna performance and is in good agreement with the calculated results.

3D displays enable immersive visual impressions but the impact on the human perception still is not fully understood. Viewing conditions like the convergence-accommodation (C-A) conflict have an unnatural influence on the visual system and might even lead to visual discomfort. As visual perception is individual we assumed the impact of simulated 3D content on the visual system to be as well. In this study we aimed to analyze the stereoscopic visual performance of 17 subjects for disparities inside and outside the in literature defined zone of comfortable viewing to provide an individual evaluation of the impact of increased disparities on the performance of the visual system. Stereoscopic stimuli were presented in a four-alternative forced choice (4AFC) setup in different disparities. The response times as well as the correct decision rates indicated the performance of stereoscopic vision. The results showed that increased disparities lead to a decline in performance. Further, the impact of the presented disparities is dependent on the difficulty of the task. The decline of performance as well as the deciding disparities for the decline were subject dependent.
