Orientation field is one of the intrinsic charac-teristics of fingerprints, and it plays very important role in many processing phases of fingerprint recognition such as enhancement, minutiae extraction and matching. Therefore, accurate estimation of orientation filed is much necessary. In this paper, a novel PDE-based method is proposed for regularization of orientation field for low-quality fingerprint images. The method consists of four steps. Firstly, the coarse orientation field is computed using traditional gradient-based approach. Secondly, the reliability map of the orientation field is computed based on a procedure of multiscale coherence analysis. Then the orientation in the low-reliable region is reconstructed with the surrounding data by means of image inpainting technique. Finally, nonlinear diffusion filtering with adaptive diffusivity is performed on the whole orientation field. Experiments on the NIST SD4 fingerprint database indicated that the proposed algorithm is capable to estimate the orien-tation field accurately, especially for poor-quality fingerprints, and it can be integrated into fingerprint recognition systems to improve the performance.

Effective and robust recognition and tracking of objects are the key problems in visual surveillance systems. Most existing object recognition methods were designed with particular objects in mind. This study presents a general moving objects recognition method using global features of targets. Targets are extracted with an adaptive Gaussian mixture model and their silhouette images are captured and unified. A new objects silhouette database is built to provide abundant samples to train the subspace feature. This database is more convincing than the previous ones. A more effective dimension reduction method based on graph embedding is used to obtain the projection eigenvector. In our experiments, we show the effective performance of our method in addressing the moving objects recognition problem and its superiority compared with the previous methods.

Accurate detection of moving objects is an important step in stable tracking or recognition. By using a nonparametric density estimation method over a joint domain-range representation of image pixels, the correlation between neighboring pixels can be used to achieve high levels of detection accuracy in the presence of dynamic background. However, color similarity between foreground and background will cause many foreground pixels to be misclassified. In this paper, an adaptive foreground model is exploited to detect moving objects in dynamic scenes. The foreground model provides an effective description of foreground by adaptively combining the temporal persistence and spatial coherence of moving objects. Building on the advantages of MAP-MRF (the maximum a posteriori in the Markov random field) decision framework, the proposed method performs well in addressing the challenging problem of missed detection caused by similarity in color between foreground and background pixels. Experimental results on real dynamic scenes show that the proposed method is robust and efficient.

Four parameters, φ (electronegativity), nws1/3 (valence electron density in Wagner-Seitz cell),R (Pauling's metallic radius) and Z (number of valence electrons in atom), and the patternrecognition methods were used to investigate the regularities of formation of ternary intermetallic compounds between three transition elements. The obtained mathematical model expressed by some inequalities can be used as a criterion of ternary compound formation in "unknown" phase diagrams of alloy systems.

Smooth interpolants defined over tetrahedra are currently being developed for they have many applications in geography, solid modeling, finite element analysis, etc. In this paper, we will characterize a certain class of C-1 discrete tetrahedral interpolants with only C-1 data required. As special cases of the class characterized, we give two C-1 discrete tetrahedral interpolants which have concise expressions.

The reasonable design of particle filter framework in multi-sensor observation system is the key to expand the application domain of sampling nonlinear filters. Aiming at the effective realization of particle filter for multi-sensor target tracking problem, a novel average weight optimization Rao-Blackwellised particle filtering al- gorithm is proposed. Combining with the kinetic equation of target state evolution, RBPF is used as the basic es- timator of algorithm realization. For the rational utiliza- tion from multi-sensor observations and the reduction of the adverse influence from random observations noise in measuring process of particles weight, the average weight optimization strategy is used to improve the reliability and stability of particle weight variance. In addition, we give the concrete flow of RBPF in average weight optimization strategy. Finally, the theoretical analysis and experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

This paper attempts to introduce an improved difference model that modifies a car-following model, which takes the next-nearest-neighbor interaction into account. The hnprovement of this model over the previous one lies in that it performs more realistically in the dynamical motion for small delay time. The traffic behavior of the improved model is investigated with analytic and numerical methods with the finding that the new consideration could further stabilize traffic flow. And some simulation tests verify that the proposed model can demonstrate some complex physical features observed recently in real traffic such as the existence of three phases: free flow, coexisting flow, and jam flow; spontaneous formation of density waves; sudden flow drop in flow-density plane; traffic hysteresis in transition between the free and the coexisting flow. Furthermore, th.e improved model also predicts that the stable state to relative density in the coexisting flow is insusceptible to noise.

The fast computation of Zernike moments from normalized geometric moments has been developed in this paper. The computation is multiplication free and only additions are needed to generate Zernike moments. Geometric moments are generated using Hatamian's filter up to high orders by a very simple and straightforward computation scheme. Other kinds of moments (e.g., Legendre, pseudo Zernike) can be computed using the same algorithm after giving the proper transformations that state their relations to geometric moments. Proper normalizations of geometric moments are necessary so that the method can be used in the efficient computation of Zernike moments. To ensure fair comparisons, recursive algorithms are used to generate Zernike polynomials and other coefficients. The computational complexity model and test programs show that the speed-up factor of the proposed algorithm is superior with respect to other fast and/or direct computations. It perhaps is the first time that Zernike moments can be computed in real time rates, which encourages the use of Zernike momentfeatures in different image retrieval systems that support huge databases such as the XM experimental model stated for the MPEG-7 experimental core. It is concluded that choosing direct computation would be impractical.

In this paper, two new similarity measure methods based on set theory were proposed. Firstly, similarity measure of two sets based on set theory and set operation was discussed. This principle was used to spectral vectors, and two approaches were proposed. The first method was to create a spectral polygon corresponding to spectral curve, and similarity of two spectral vectors can be replaced by that of two polygons. Area of spectral polygon was used as quantification function and some effective indexes for similarity and dissimilarity were computed. The second method was to transform the original spectral vector to encoding vector according to absorption or reflectance feature bands, and similarity measure was conducted to encoding vectors. It proved that the spectral polygon-based approach was effective 'and can be used to hyperspectral RS image retrieval.
