Color quantization is wildly exploited for many applications especially in the fields of computer graphics and imageprocessing. After studying the approaches of color clustering, a new approach based on ant colony clustering algorithm applied in color image quantization is proposed in the paper. According to the picking up-dropping theory, a promoted ant algorithm is applied to group colors into certain clusters in RGB space. It finishes color quantization after colors mapping of every pixel. Our experiment shows that the algorithm proposed in this paper has rather good performance with an excellent robustness, a less time consumption, and a simple realization.

Taking into account the demands of hyperspectral remote sensing(RS) image retrieval and processing, some encoding methods of spectral vector including direct encoding, feature-based encoding and tree-based encoding methods are proposed and compared. In direct encoding, based on the analysis of binary encoding and quad-value encoding, decimal encoding is proposed. It is proved that quad-value encoding and decimal encoding are suitable to fast processing and retrieval. In absorption feature-based encoding method, five common metrics are compared. Because locations of reflection/absorption features are sensitive to noise, this method is not very effective in retrieval. In tree-based encoding methods, bitree, quadtree, octree and hextree are proposed and discussed. It is proved that 2-level octree and 2-level hextree are more effective than bitree and quadtree. Finally, quad-value encoding, decimal encoding, 2-level octree and 2-level hextree are proposed in spectral vectors encoding, similarity measure and hyperspectral RS image retrieval.

An effective approach to the detection and tracking of small moving targets with low contrast is proposed. In our application, small moving targets are detected and tracked in a low quality video sequence captured from an airborne platform. The detection and tracking system includes three modules. First, the global motion parameters are estimated using fast least trimmed squares (FAST-ITS) regression and hierarchical processing. Once the global motion is robustly estimated, relatively stationary background can be eliminated almost completely through image warping. Then a motion-based fast target detector selects candidate pixels of the moving targets with motions statistically different from that of the background, and a particle filtering tracker examines the temporal consistency of targets to identify them and update their states. Information in the system flows in a closed loop form, in which the tracker instructs the detector where to look for a target, and the detector returns what it has found. Experimental results prove that the proposed method can reliably and effectively detect and track the real small moving target in real-time even if there is strong clutter influence.

On the basis of analyzing the uncertainties of spatial data mining (SDM), and in view of the limits of traditional spatial data mining, the framework for the uncertain spatial data mining has been founded. For which, four key problems have been probed and analyzed, including uncertainty simulation of spatial data with Monte Carlo method, measurement of spatial autocorrelation based on uncertain spatial positional data, discretization of continuous data based on neighborhood EM algorithm and quality assessment of results. Meanwhile, the experiments concerned have been performed using the geo-spatial datum gotten from 37 typified cites in China.
Conventional clustering algorithms are designed for a single independent dataset, i.e. Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering algorithm. In the real world, a dataset is independent of other datasets but sometimes can be coope...

This paper presents an appropriate approach for the robust estimation of the noise statistics in dental panoramic X-ray images. To achieve maximum image quality after denoising, a semi-empirical scatter model is presented, leading to a local adaptive Gaussian scale mixture (GSM) model. State of the art methods use multiscale filtering of images to reduce the irrelevant part of information, based on generic estimation of noise. The usual assumption of a distribution of Gaussian and Poisson statistics only leads to overestimation of the noise variance in regions of low intensity (small photon counts), but to underestimation in regions of high intensity and therefore to non-optimal results. The analysis approach is tested on a database of 50 panoramic X-ray images and the results are cross-validated by medical experts. It is shown that the local standard deviation (SDEV) in images, stemming from homogeneous phantoms (AI, PMMA), follows a generalized Nakagami distribution (GND). The heavily tailed distribution is not covered entirely by the GND. The error density function, is hypothesized to stem from scatter-glare, degrading the image. A beam stop method, for estimation of the scatter-glare amount, verifies that hypothesis. Finally, the application of the method for a phantom image, is shown with denoising results for comparison purpose, followed by the conclusion

This paper proposes a method for robustly matching active appearance models (AAMs) on images with gross disturbances (outliers). The method consists of two steps. First, an initial residual is calculated by comparing model and image appearance, and modes of the residual are analyzed. Second, all possible mode combinations are tested by evaluating an objective function. The objective function allows the selection of an outlier-free mode combination. Experiments demonstrate the ability of the robust matching method to successfully cope with outliers - compared to standard AAM matching, no degeneration of the model during matching occurs.
