A semiautomatic segmentation method based on active contour is proposed for computed tomography (CT) image series. First, to get initial contour, one image slice was segmented exactly by C-V method based on Mumford-Shah model. Next, the computer will segment the nearby slice automatically using the snake model one by one. During segmenting of image slices, former slice boundary, as next slice initial contour, may cross over next slice real boundary and never return to right position. To avoid contour skipping over, the distance variance between two slices is evaluated by an threshold, which decides whether to initiate again. Moreover, a new improved marching cubes (MC) algorithm based on 2D images series segmentation boundary is given for 3D image reconstruction. Compared with the standard method, the proposed algorithm reduces detecting time and needs less storing memory. The effectiveness and capabilities of the algorithm were illustrated by experimental results.

A novel approach based on independent component analysis (ICA) for speckle filtering and target extraction of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed using adaptive space separation with weighted information entropy (WIE) incorporated. First the basis and the independent components are respectively obtained by ICA technique, and WIE of the image is computed; then based on the threshold computed from function T-WIE (threshold versus weighted-information-entropy), independent components are adaptively separated and the bases are classified accordingly. Thus, the image space is separated into two subspaces: "clean" and "noise". Then, a proposed nonlinear operator ABO is applied on each component of the 'clean' subspace for further optimization. Finally, recovery image is obtained reconstructing this subspace and target is easily extracted with binarisation. Note that here T-WIE is an interpolated function based on several representative target SAR images using proposed space separation algorithm.

When applying formal majority voter in TMR (triple modular redundancy) fault tolerance system with two error injections, there is a problem that formal majority voter has a low rate of output. To solve this problem, we propose a modified majority voting model with special rules. In the situation of error injection, test result shows that compared with formal majority voter, modified majority voter has a higher rate of correct decision and a lower ratio of benign signals.

Automatic recognition of artists is very important in acoustic music indexing, browsing, and contentbased acoustic music retrieving, but synchronously it is still a challenging errand to extract the most representative and salient attributes to depict diversiform artists. In this paper, we developed a novel system to complete the reorganization of artist automatically. The proposed system can efficiently identify the artist's voice of a raw song by analyzing substantive features extracted from both pure music and singing song mixed with accompanying music. The experiments on different genres of songs illustrate that the proposed system is possible.

In this article, we present an approach for the automated extraction of quantitative information about trichome patterning on leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. Time series of growing rosette leaves (4D confocal datasets, 3D + time) are used for this work. At first, significant anatomical structures, i.e. leaf surface and midplane are extracted robustly. Using the extracted anatomical structures, a biological reference coordinate system is registered to the leaves. The performed registration allows to determine intra- as well as inter-series spatiotemporal correspondences. Trichomes are localized by first detecting candidates using Hough transform. Then, local 3D invariants are extracted and the candidates are validated using a Support Vector Machine (SVM).

The sensitivity of diffuse optical tomography （DOT） imaging exponentially decreases with the increase of photon penetration depth, which leads to a poor depth resolution for DOT. In this letter, an exponential adjustment method （EAM） based on maximum singular value of layered sensitivity is proposed. Optimal depth resolution can be achieved by compensating the reduced sensitivity in the deep medium. Simulations are performed using a semi-infinite model and the simulation results show that the EAM method can substantially improve the depth resolution of deeply embedded objects in the medium. Consequently, the image quality and the reconstruction accuracy for these objects have been largely improved.

The measure J in J value segmentation (JSEG) fails to represent the discontinuity of color, which degrades the robustness and discrimination of JSEG. An improved approach for JSEG algorithm was proposed for unsupervised color-texture image segmentation. The texture and photometric invariant edge information were combined, which results in a discriminative measure for color-texture homogeneity. Based on the image whose pixel values are values of the new measure, region growing-merging algorithm used in JSEG was then employed to segment the image. Finally, experiments on a variety of real color images demonstrate performance improvement due to the proposed method.

This paper introduces a new approach, nearest convex hull (NCH), for remote sensing classification. NCH is an intuitive classification method which labels the test point as the training class whose convex hull is closest to it. Some attractive advantages of this learning algorithm are the robustness to noises and the scale of training samples, the straightforward way to handle multi-class tasks, and most of all the capability of processing high dimensional and nonlinear data. In our work, we deduce the NCH algorithm again basing on theories of the computational geometry, from which a simpler implementation of it is presented. Then we apply it to real-world remote problems and compare it with two other state-of-arts classifiers: K-NN and SVM. Experiments in this paper confirm the promising performance of NCH for remote sensing classification.
