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.

In this paper, we propose a scatter-glare correction method based on thickness estimation and digital filtration. The method is an improvement of the scatter-glare correction method proposed by Ersahin, et al The method estimates scatter glare fraction in two steps. The first step is to assign an equivalent Lucite thickness to every pixel in the image, and the second step is to estimate the scatter-glare fraction from the thickness information. Experiments show that this method can well estimate the scatter-glare fraction in a wide range of thicknesses, and a higher accuracy for scatter-glare estimation can be obtained by this method compared with Ersahin's method.

This paper presents a novel method for natural image understanding. We improved the effect of saliency detection for the purpose of image segmentation at first. Then Graph cuts are used to find global optimal segmentation of N-dimensional image. After that, we adopt the scheme of supervised learning to classify the scene type of the image. The main advantages of our method are that: Firstly we revised the existed sparse saliency model to better suit for image segmentation, Secondly we propose a new color modeling method during the process of GrabCut segmentation. Finally we extract object-level top down information and low-level image cues together to distinguish the type of images. Experiments show that our proposed scheme can obtain comparable performance to other approaches.

This paper presents a novel method for image segmentation. We improved the effect of saliency detection for the purpose of image segmentation. Graph cuts are used to find global optimal segmentation of N-dimensional image. With the guidance of saliency, users do not have to select foreground object and background seeds. The main advantages of our method are that: Firstly we revised the existed sparse saliency model to better suit for image segmentation, Secondly we propose a new color modeling method during the process of GrabCut segmentation. Finally we combine these two processes together to segment images without interference. We demonstrate our proposed scheme for image segmentation on several databases and get satisfactory results.

In this paper, the subjective image quality for different image content is investigated by psychophysical experiments. The experimental images are the parts from natural scenes distorted by integer transform and quantization in H.264 frame. These images are divided into two types based on the scene content, type I and type II. The perceived thresholds and subjective graded scores for different quantization are obtained using forced choice staircase experiments and graded response experiments, respectively. The subjective assessment results showed that the image quality of type I degrades much more than the type II when quantization steps increase, and the preliminary experiment showed that the existed IQA metric, i.e. SSIM, could not predict it well. We also present a content-based image classifier to predict the two image types. The results show good accordance between the classifier and the subjective assessment.

Regularization is a solution to solve the problem of unstable estimation of covariance matrix with a small sample set in Gaussian classifier. And multi-regularization parameters estimation is more difficult than single parameter estimation. In this paper, KLIM-L covariance matrix estimation is derived theoretically based on MDL (minimum description length) principle for the small sample problem with high dimension. KLIM-L is a generalization of KLIM (Kullback-Leibler information measure) which considers the local difference in each dimension. Under the framework of MDL principle, multi-regularization parameters are selected by the criterion of minimization the KL divergence and estimated simply and directly by point estimation which is approximated by two-order Taylor expansion. It costs less computation time to estimate the multi-regularization parameters in KLIM-L than in RDA (regularized discriminant analysis) and in LOOC (leave-one-out covariance matrix estimate) where cross validation technique is adopted. And higher classification accuracy is achieved by the proposed KLIM-L estimator in experiment.
