Array computers can be useful in the solution of numerical spatiotemporal problems such as partial differential equations (PDEs). IBM has recently introduced the cell broadband engine (Cell BE) Architecture, which contains 8 identical vector processors in an array structure. In the paper the implementation of the 3-D Princeton Ocean Model on the Cell BE is discussed. The area/speed/power tradeoffs of our solution and different hardware implementations are also compared.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast threshold. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper using wavelet transformation fractal dimension to fuse dual band infrared images, and then detect targets is better than using mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.

In this paper, we develop an image enhancement technology in the DCT domain for radiologists to screen mammograms. The proposed algorithm is an improved version of the algorithm developed. The improved algorithm overcomes the shortcomings of the old algorithm which requires manual adjustment of multiple parameters to realize non-uniform enhancement in different frequency bands. The proposed image enhancement algorithm is expressed as an optimization problem. In the optimization problem, the optimal local enhancement factors are found so that the target global contrast value is achieved which is specified by a user. Because it's a multi-variable optimization problem, genetic algorithm is used to search the optimal parameters. The experimental results show that the algorithm is progressive.

The wavelet/scalar quantization (WSQ) [1] fingerprint image compression algorithm is effective and has been widely applied to fingerprint image compression. However, WSQ cannot control the compression ratio and its performance on fuzzy images is poor. We propose an improved WSQ fingerprint image compression algorithm to overcome the above shortcomings. Our algorithm uses a mixed quantizer so that the algorithm can treat fuzzy and non-fuzzy fingerprint images separately. In order to control the compression ration, an optimization parameters for a specific compression ratio. The proposed algorithm is compared with the traditional WSQ fingerprint image compression algorithm and the results are encouraging.

In this paper, a set of quasi-Bernstein polynomials of degree n with one parameter is presented, which is an extension of the Bernstein polynomials over the triangular domain. Using the presented polynomials as basis functions, we construct a class of shape adjusting surfaces defined over the triangular domain with a shape parameter, namely, quasi-B-B parametric surfaces. These surfaces share many properties with the B-B parametric surfaces. In particular, when shape parameters equal 1, they degenerate to be the B-B parametric surfaces. By changing the value of the shape parameter, we can get different surfaces under the fixed control net.

Past decades, numerous spectral analysis based algorithms have been proposed for dimensionality reduction, which plays an important role in machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, most of these existing algorithms are developed intuitively and pragmatically, i.e., on the base of the experience and knowledge of experts for their own purposes. Therefore, it will be more informative to provide some a systematic framework for understanding the common properties and intrinsic differences in the algorithms. In this paper, we propose such a framework, i.e., ldquopatch alignmentrdquo, which consists of two stages: part optimization and whole alignment. With the proposed framework, various algorithms including the conventional linear algorithms and the manifold learning algorithms are reformulated into a unified form, which gives us some new understandings on these algorithms.

Based on the space spanned by {1, t, , tn-5, sint, cost, t sin t, t cos t}, (n≥5), this paper presents a new kind of uniform splines. These splines are called uniform algebraic-trigonometric splines, which share most of the properties as those of the B-splines in the polynomial space. Such splines can encompass conical solenoids, involutes of circles and some other transcendent curves. The subdivision scheme of this new kind of curves is given, and it is verified to be convergent. The subdivision scheme is equal to a series of linear subdividing process, which followed the V.D. property and the convexity preserving property of the splines.

Understanding the primatespsila visual system has been one of the challenging problems of different groups of scientists for years. Though many studies, from physiology and neuroscience to computer vision, are done on different aspects of visual processing in the cortex, a comprehensive computational model of visual cortex is still missing. We have implemented a computational model of object recognition in ventral visual pathway in our previous work. This hierarchical model covers visual areas V1/V2, V4/PIT, and AIT sending inputs to the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC) for categorization. To extend our model, in this work, we have added a simple model of motion detection in neurons of areas V1 and MT of the dorsal stream to our previous model. This has enabled the model to perform another principal function of the visual cortex, i.e., motion perception.

In the area of mechanical, aerospace, chemical and civil engineering the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs) has been one of the most important problems of mathematics for a long time. In this field, one of the most exciting areas is the simulation of fluid flow, which involves for example problems of air, sea and land vehicle motion. In this paper a CNN-UM based solver of 2D inviscid, adiabatic, compressible fluids will be presented. The governing equations are solved by using first- and second-order numerical methods. Unfortunately the necessity the coupled multi-layered computational structure with non-linear, space-variant templates does not make it possible to utilize the huge computing power of the analog CNN-UM chips. To improve the performance of our solution emulated digital CNN-UM implemented on FPGA has been used. Properties of the implemented specialized architecture is examined in terms of area, speed and accuracy.
