With microarray data being dramatically accumulated, integrating data from related studies represents a natural way to increase sample size so that more reliable statistical analysis may be performed. However, inherent variation among different microarray platforms makes the data integration not a trivial task. In this paper, we present a simple and effective integration scheme, called normalized linear transform (NLT), to combine data from different microarray platforms. The NLT scheme is compared with three other integration schemes for two tasks: classification analysis and gene marker selection. Our experiments demonstrate that the NLT scheme performs best in terms of classification accuracy under various classification settings, and leads to more biologically significant marker genes.

In this paper, we propose a flexible fully-multiplicative orthogonal-group based ICA (FlexibleOgICA) algorithm, which can instantaneously separate the mixture of sub-Gaussian and super-Gaussian source signals. It adopts a self-adaptive nonlinear function, which adjusts its parameter to achieve better performance based on the estimation of the kurtosis of super-Gaussian source signals. We also have successfully applied the algorithm to obtain the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signal, showing its fast convergence speed and high separation performance

Instead of traditionally using a 3D physical model with many control points on it, a calibration plate with printed chess grid and movable along its normal direction is implemented to provide large area 3D control points with variable Z values. Experiments show that the approach presented is effective for reconstructing 3D color objects in computer vision system.

An efficient method for facial feature location was proposed based on skin color segmentation and gray image symmetry transform. To reduce the influence of background and variable facial poses, the Blob analysis and ellipse fitting methods were successively applied to the image blobs detected by conventional skin color segmenting method. Invalid blobs were removed and candidate face regions were adjusted vertically. Then, mouth region was extracted from each candidate face region by segmenting hue image. Afterwards, the generalized symmetry transform (GST) of gray image was used to obtain candidate eyes and the real eyes were detected by combination optimization of the proposed cost function which was related to model of facial geometry and positions of eyes and mouth. Finally, other facial features such as chin and cheek could be precisely located. The test results show that the proposed approach is more effective and has better performance.

A novel and more effective algorithm used for segmenting pulmonary nodules in thoracic spiral CT images was presented. The algorithm is based on mean shift clustering method and CI (Convergence Index) features, which can represent the multiple Gaussian model of pulmonary nodules both for solid and sub-solid, substantially. The algorithm has the following steps: (1) calculating the CI features of all pixels in the region of interest (ROI), (2) combining the CI features with the intensity range and the spatial position of the pixels to form a feature vector set, (3) grouping the feature vector set to clusters with mean shift clustering algorithm. Owing to our algorithm can represent the multiple Gaussian model both for solid and sub-solid nodules, it can be used in any user interested nodule regions, especially suitable for the segmentation of sub-solid nodules. Experiments demonstrated that our algorithm can figure out the outline of pulmonary nodules of different forms more precisely.

In this paper, we propose a matching method for remote sensing images based on corner structures. Firstly corner angle vector is defined to analysis corner structure, and the process of how to obtain it is discussed in detail. Then some measures are given to eliminate the false corners. Finally a relaxation matching scheme is presented. The experiments show the effectiveness and feasibility of our matching method.

Automated tongue image segmentation in tongue diagnosis system of traditional Chinese medicine is difficult due to two factors: There are lots of pathological details on the surface of tongue, and the shapes of tongue bodies are quite different By adequately considering color information of tongue images, knowledge-based initial tongue body boundary detection and a color gradient are introduced into the gradient vector flow snake. The roughly detected tongue body boundary is employed to lead the usage of color gradient and the convergence of *** experiments results show robustness and accuracy of the algorithm. This work establishes a solid foundation for feature analysis of tongue diagnosis.

Osteoarthritis is a chronic and crippling disease affecting an increasing number of people each year. With no known cure, it is expected to reach epidemic proportions in the near future. Accurate segmentation of knee cartilage from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans facilitates the measurement of cartilage volume present in a patient's knee, thus enabling medical clinicians to detect the onset of osteoarthritis and also crucially, to study its effects. This paper compares four model-based segmentation methods popular for medical data segmentation, namely Active Shape Models (ASM) (Cootes et al., 1995), Active Appearance Models (AAM) (Cootes et al., 2001), Patch-based Active Appearance Models (PAAM) (Faggian et al., 2006), and Active Feature Models (AFM) (Langs et al., 2006). A comprehensive analysis of how accurately these methods segment human tibial cartilage is presented. The results obtained were benchmarked against the current "gold standard" (cartilage segmented manually by trained clinicians) and indicate that modeling local texture features around each landmark provides the best results for segmenting human tibial cartilage.

In the Electroluminescent display panels, the largest portion of power consumption of data driver circuits comes from charging and discharging quite large capacitive loads, data lines. The proposed multi-steps data driving method can reduce the panel AC power consumption into only a few percent of that of conventional ones if the number of steps is large enough. In the proposed driving method, external capacitors supply charge to loads in multi-steps manner, and the charge returns to the capacitors instead of being discharged to ground. This charge recycling is the basis of reduction of the panel AC power. In this paper, the author gives a hardware implementation of 4-steps voltage generator with a minimum complexity.
