A hybrid method is used to evaluate atherosclerosis through a mathematical morphology approach and GVF-Snake method. Common carotid artery (CCA) segmentation requires outlining the intima and adventitia contours on the transverse view of B-mode ultrasound (US) images. The lumen and adventitia contours are segmented using a morphology and GVF-Snake methods, respectively. Upon analyzing ten separate patient data sets demonstrate that a comparison between the proposed method and the traditional approach (manual contouring) on 110 transverse images of the CCA showed a mean absolute distance (MAD) of 0.67±0.17mm for lumen and 0.64 ± 0.19mm for adventitia. Their Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) values are 92.7%±2.3% and 90.3%±3.5% for lumen and adventitia segmentation, respectively. These values are in good agreement with clinical standards.

Recently, a new representation for recognizing instances and categories of scenes called spatial Principal component analysis of Census Transform histograms (PACT) has shown its excellent performance in the scene image classification task. PACT captures local structures of an image through the Census Transform (CT), meanwhile, large scale structures are captured by the strong correlation between neighboring CT values and the histogram. However, the original spatial PACT only simply concatenates all levels compact histograms together, and discards the difference between various levels. In order to improve this problem, we propose a multi-level kernel machine method, which computes a set of base kernels at each level of pyramid of PACT, and finds optimal weights for best fusing all these base kernels for scene recognition. Experiments on two popular benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed multi-level kernel machine method outperforms the spatial PACT on scene recognition. Besides, our method is easy to be implemented comparing with spatial PACT.

Software fault prediction techniques are helpful in developing dependable software. In this paper, we proposed a novel framework that integrates testing and prediction process for unit testing prediction. Because high fault prone metrical data are much scattered and multi-centers can represent the whole dataset better, we used artificial immune network (aiNet) algorithm to extract and simplify data from the modules that have been tested, then generated multi-centers for each network by Hierarchical Clustering. The proposed framework acquires information along with the testing process timely and adjusts the network generated by aiNet algorithm dynamically. Experimental results show that higher accuracy can be obtained by using the proposed framework.

image annotation is the process of assigning proper keywords to describe the content of a given image, which can be regarded as a problem of multi-object image classification. In this paper, a general multi-label annotation algorithm is proposed, which is based on sparse representation theory and employs a multi-level decision method to deal with the multi-object classification problem. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can provide more promising results compared with the traditional classification based image annotation methods.

According to the characteristic and the requirement of multipath planning, a new multipath planning method is proposed based on network. This method includes two steps： the construction of network and multipath searching. The construction of network proceeds in three phases： the skeleton extraction of the configuration space, the judgment of the cross points in the skeleton and how to link the cross points to form a network. Multipath searching makes use of the network and iterative penalty method （IPM） to plan multi-paths, and adjusts the planar paths to satisfy the requirement of maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicle （UAV）. In addition, a new height planning method is proposed to deal with the height planning of 3D route. The proposed algorithm can find multiple paths automatically according to distribution of terrain and threat areas with high efficiency. The height planning can make 3D route following the terrain. The simulation experiment illustrates the feasibility of the proposed method.
