A method that incorporates edge detection technique, Markov Random field (MRF), watershed segmentation and merging techniques was presented for performing image segmentation and edge detection tasks. It first applies edge detection technique to obtain a Difference In Strength (DIS) map. An initial segmented result is obtained based on K means clustering technique and the minimum distance. Then the region process is modeled by MRF to obtain an image that contains different intensity regions. The gradient values are calculated and then the watershed technique is used. DIS calculation is used for each pixel to define all the edges (weak or strong) in the image. The DIS map is obtained. This help as priority knowledge to know the possibility of the region segmentation by the next step (MRF), which gives an image that has all the edges and regions information. In MRF model, gray level l , at pixel location i , in an image X , depends on the gray levels of neighboring pixels. The segmentation results are improved by using watershed algorithm. After all pixels of the segmented regions are processed, a map of primitive region with edges is generated. The edge map is obtained using a merge process based on averaged intensity mean values. A common edge detectors that work on (MRF) segmented image are used and the results are compared. The segmentation and edge detection result is one closed boundary per actual region in the image.

We present a method that partitions a single image into two layers, requiring that one layer has similar properties in terms of pixel colour variation to a provided template patch. First the paper provides a new view on defining a similarity function for a pixel with its small neighbourhood to be part of the texture described by the template patch. This results in better description of pixels near the texture boundary. Second, it is shown how the Maximally Stable Extremal Regions (MSERs), originally designed for wide baseline stereo matching, can be used to locally merge pixels having the same intensity and thus reduce the dimension of the graph representing the image. The MSERs help in texture description and yield significant reduction of memory and computation time. Finally the graph is fed into the ***/*** algorithm to cut the graph into two parts. Performance of the method is presented on some images from the Berkeley database. Finally, restrictions in using the method are discussed.

This paper discussed the reliability of computing the road link speed from probe vehicles. An algorithm for the smallest probe vehicle sampling sizes for traffic flow estimation was proposed. Many factors are considered, such as road style, road link speed and information transmit period of probe vehicle. The field testing using traffic data of Xuhui district in Shanghai presents a good result which validates the effecfiveness of the new model.

This paper discussed a novel segmentation algorithm B-JSEG for color images based on color information and region growing. This method is proposed on the base of JSEG, a popular method in segmentation of color images, and directional operators for edge detection in images. Compared with other methods existed, new parameters are used to characterize the property of color-texture images in the proposed method. With the aim of alleviating over-segmentation, directional operators are integrated into the JSEG method to take account of both homogeneity and discontinuity in regions. It is shown from the experiments on large amounts of images that the proposed method is robust and able to match better with human's perception than JSEG.

Based on the study of the characteristics of humans' vision system, this paper designed a new algorithm of medical image compression and combined the masking feature of human vision system and the three component model of the image. The experiments were done on the medical images including CT and MRI. The results show that under the same compression ratio, the method used in the paper can achieve better subjective visual quality. The compression ratio can reach 16:1, if the visually lossless effect is required, i.e., almost all the relevant medical information is reserved.

In this paper, a line-based scan image compression algorithm with low complexity was presented. The algorithm was based on Christos Chrysalis's line-based wavelet transformation coding. There was not image tiling in the algorithm. The supposed algorithm modeled with contexts for different subband after quantifying wavelet coefficients uniformly. A modified Golomb-Rice algorithm with low complexity was adopted as entropy coder. The experiment shows that the memory requirement of the algorithm is far less than that of the SPIHT in compressing images with huge size. The complexity of the entropy coding of the algorithm is reduced largely. The algorithm is especially appropriate for remote sensing image compression system with power and space limited.

Text that appears in a scene or graphically added to video can provide an important supplemental source of index information as well as clues for decoding the video's structure and for classification, and we call them closed caption. In this work, a novel algorithm is presented for detecting and locating caption in digital video. The first module of the system divides an image into small blocks featured by pixel value that is fed to SVM (Support Vector Machine) to classify whether they are text blocks or not. The other module is to do post-processing on the classified text blocks to identify the rectangle region of them and OCR can be used further and easily. Experiments conducted with a variety of video sources showe that our method could detect and locate caption region successfully by SVM with comparatively less samples.

This paper described an ontology based multi agent knowledge process made (MAKM) which is one of multi agents systems (MAS) and uses semantic network to describe agents to help to locate relative agents distributed in the workgroup. In MAKM, an agent is the entity to implement the distributed task processing and to access the information or knowledge. Knowledge query manipulation language (KQML) is adapted to realize the communication among agents. So using the MAKM mode, different knowledge and information on the medical domain could be organized and utilized efficiently when a collaborative task is implemented on the web.
