The aim of the paper is to introduce two new multichannel median type filters, obtained by vector extension of their scalar (gray scale image) counterparts. The two filters are typical examples for two situations in imageprocessing: the use of the fuzzy attribute to justify the weighting factors and the fuzzy attribute as descriptor for rule-based processing.

Human-computer intelligent interaction (HCII) in virtual environments is a rapidly developing field. Natural human communication is multi-modal, however, most modern computer interfaces rely exclusively on one mode of interaction. We employ a novel approach to integrating multiple modes of human-computer communication. By using auditory and visual features at different levels of integration we explore optimal ways of combining these modalities.

A differential equation was employed in modelling deforestation by human population interactions to yield an explicit mathematical model. The theoretical relation and many possible models were applied to the grid cell data in Hiroshima Prefecture, and relative appropriateness of each model was evaluated by Akaike's information criterion (AIC) using raw data. Intensive further verification was executed by the bootstrap method. It was demonstrated that the theoretical relation was in the best agreement among many other models in comparison.

The draft international standard ITU-T H.263 is closely related to the well known and widely used ITU-T Recommendation H.261. However, H.263 does provide the same subjective image quality at less than half the bit-rate. In this paper we investigate to what extend single enhancements of H.263 contribute to this performance gain, and consider the trade-off quality vs. complexity. Based on typical test sequences, H.263 with its various modes is compared to H.261 on the basis of rate distortion curves at bit-rates up to 128 kbps. At 64 kbps, the performance gain of H.263 in its default mode compared to H.261 is approximately 2 dB. This improvement is achieved with only little increase of complexity, and is mainly due to more accurate motion compensation with half-pel accuracy. Considering the trade-off quality vs. complexity, the combination of the optional coding-modes "Advanced prediction mode" and "PB-frames mode" is a good compromise, resulting in an additional performance gain of 1.5 dB PSNR at 64 kbps. The "Syntax-based arithmetic coding mode" on the other hand, offers only a very small performance gain (0.1 dB at 64 kbps) for its increased computational complexity. Results from profiling an H.263 software codec are presented in order to support complexity considerations of the optional coding-modes.

We present a novel and simple cascaded acousto-optic imageprocessing system to perform imageprocessing. The system consists of two imaging lenses and two acousto-optic modulators that are placed in series. Real time imageprocessing is achieved by Bragg diffraction. computer simulation is given and compared to an optical imageprocessing system which uses a single acousto-optic modulator.

From the transfer functions of an acousto-optic (AO) cell, it is found that some basic imageprocessing can be accomplished by using AO cells. Instead of frequency-plane filters, the AO cells are placed directly behind the object. The one dimensional edge enhancement results using one AO cell can be improved by using two acousto-optic cells which are put in tandem and with contra-propagating sound. The dominant second derivative operation obtained from the transfer function of the undiffracted order works like a one-dimensional Laplacian operator which enables improved edge enhancement.

In matched-field processing, sophisticated models of the ocean channel are used to provide accurate steering vectors. These steering vectors are then used with standard beamformers (conventional, MVDR, etc.). The Hudson Canyon data set is one of a few publicly available data sets in a form directly suitable for matched-field processing. Using these data we show successful tracking out to a range of 5 km. Exploitation of broadband information is critical for that processing. However, we show that the MVDR processor is only successful when the broadband information is exploited coherently.

Due to the large computation power needed for Markovian random field (MRF) based imageprocessing, new variations of the basic MRF model are implemented. The transportation of the model to the very fast cellular neural networks (CNN) gave new tasks and opportunities to improve the technique, since the CNN has a special local architecture. This CNN architecture can be implemented in real VLSI circuits of superior speed in imageprocessing. A type of MRF image segmentation with modified metropolis dynamics (MMD) can be well implemented in the CNN architecture. In this paper we address the improvement of this existing CNN method by introducing anisotropic diffusion as the smoothing process in the model. We suggest that this new feature with the MRF representation will give a new approach to solving early vision problems in the future.
