A method used for recognition and understanding of airfield based on mathematical morphology is proposed in this paper. The new approach can he divided into three steps. First, to extract the typical geometric structure features of airfield, a segmentation method called recursive Otsu algorithm is employed on an airfield image. Second, thinning and shrinking algorithms are utilized to obtain the contour of airfield with single pixel and to remove diffused small particles. Finally, Radon transform is adopted to extract two typical and important components, primary and secondary runways of airfield exactly. At the same time, region growing algorithm is exploited to get the other components such as parking apron and garages. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method gives good performance.

Feature selection is a process where a minimal feature subset is selected from an original feature set according to a certain measure. In this paper, feature relevancy is defined by an inconsistency rate. A bidirectional automated branch and bound algorithm is presented. It is a new complete search algorithm for feature selection, which performs feature deletion and feature addition in parallel. Its bound is determined by inconsistency rate of the original feature set, hence termed as ‘automated’. Experimental study shows that it is fit for feature selection.

Archaeology is at a point where it can benefit greatly from the application of computer vision methods, and in turn provides a large number of new, challenging and interesting conceptual problems and data for computer science. This is true in particular in the study of ceramics - the most abundant and widespread of all archaeological finds. The traditional way of documenting archaeological sherds is to draw the profile line, which is the intersection of a sherd along the axis of symmetry. A profilograph is a mechanical device, which can directly acquire and transfer a profile line by pin-pointing the profile on a sherd to a computer. We developed a fully automated vision system, which is able to compute the profile line out of the acquired 3D model of the fragment. In this paper we want to give a thorough comparison between the traditional manual approach, the profilograph and our system and present an improvement of the robustness of our approach by finding circular rills on the fragments. Practical experiments have been undertaken at the excavation Tel Dor in Israel.

A novel two-stage level set evolution method for detecting man-made objects in aerial images is described. The method is based on a modified Mumford-Shah model and it uses a two-stage curve evolution strategy to get a preferable detection. It applies fractal error metric, developed by Cooper, et al. (1994) at the first curve evolution stage and adds additional constraint texture edge descriptor that is defined by using DCT (discrete cosine transform) coefficients on the image at the next stage. Man-made objects and natural areas are optimally differentiated by evolving the partial differential equation. The method artfully avoids selecting a threshold to separate the fractal error image, while an improper threshold often results in great segmentation errors. Experiments of the segmentation show that the proposed method is efficient.

Efficient VLSI architectures for multi-dimensional (m-D) discrete wavelet transform (DWT), e.g. m=2, 3, are presented, in which the lifting scheme of DWT is used to reduce efficiently hardware complexity. The parallelism of 2 m subbands transforms in lifting-based m-D DWT is explored, which increases efficiently the throughput rate of separable m-D DWT. The proposed architecture is composed of m2m-1 1-D DWT modules working in parallel and pipelined, which is designed to process 2m input samples per clock cycle, and generate 2m subbands coefficients synchronously. The total time of computing one level of decomposition for a 2-D image (3-D image sequence) of size N2 (MN2) is approximately N2/4 (MN2/8) intra- clock cycles (ccs). An efficient line-based architecture framework for both 2D+t and t+2D 3-D DWT is first proposed. Compared with the similar works reported in previous literature, the proposed architecture has good performance in terms of production of computation time and hardware cost. The proposed architecture is simple, regular, scalable and well suited for VLSI implementation.

Spectral Angle Mapper (SAM) model has got wide applications in hyperspectral Remote Sensing (RS) information processing. But Spectral Angle couldn't achieve satisfied performance in some cases because of its sensitivity to noises and uncertainty. Based on the analysis to traditional SAM algorithm, four types of errors and their impacts to spectral angle are investigated. In order to reduce the impacts of above errors, some improved algorithms are proposed and experimented. The first improved algorithm is grouping spectral angle algorithm. In this new algorithm all bands are divided into two sets by odd and even bands, that means two additional sub-vectors are created in addition to the original spectral vector. So three spectral angles will be computed and the minimum of three indexes is used as final index. The second improved algorithm is normalized spectral angle. In this way spectral angle is computed to the normalized vectors of two original vectors. Two approaches are used to normalize the spectral vector, and spectral angle is computed to the normalized vectors. This algorithm is able to decrease the impacts of random errors. The third algorithm is intersected spectral angle. Spectral angle is calculated by a spectral displacement strategy in this approach. That means a given displacement to change the corresponding bands of two spectral vectors is used and a spectral angle to the displaced vectors will be got. By this displacement strategy the impacts of band offset is reduced. Finally some experiments are used to test those improved algorithms. It proves that those new approaches can reduce and control the errors and improve the precision and reliability of similarity measure.
