Wavelet image denoising has been well acknowledged as an important method of denoising in imageprocessing. This paper describers a new method for the suppression of noise in image by fusing the wavelet denoising technique with support vector regression (SVR). Based on the least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM), a new denoising operators used in the wavelet domain are obtained. Simulated noise images are used to evaluate the denoising performance of the proposed algorithm along with the other wavelet-based denoising algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed denoising method outperforms standard wavelet denoising techniques in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio and the prevented edge information in most cases. It also achieves better performance than the median filter.

The optimization of existing sewer systems or making new systems is and will remain one of the key issues in drainage management in our society. The problem consists of minimization of a nonlinear cost function subjected to nonlinear constraints. To overcome the difficulties of the optimization of drainage systems, in this paper, an elitist adaptive genetic algorithm (EAGA) for pipe optimization has been developed, by integrating elitist genetic algorithm (EGA) with adaptive genetic algorithm (AGA). We compare the performance of the EAGA with that of EGA and AGA in optimizing sewer systems. The EAGA converges to the global optimum in far fewer generations than the EGA and AGA. We believe that the EAGA is the first step in realizing a class of self-organizing genetic algorithms (GAs) capable of adapting themselves in locating the global optimum in drainage systems.

Spatial data mining refers to extracting and "mining" the hidden, implicit, valid, novel and interesting spatial or non-spatial patterns or rules from large-amount, incomplete, noisy, fuzzy, random, and practical spatial databases. In which an important issue but remains underdeveloped is to reveal and handle the uncertainties in spatial data mining. In This work, uncertainty of spatial data is briefly analyzed firstly, including the types and origins of uncertainty, their models of measurement and propagation. Then, some uncertainty factors in operation of spatial data mining are discussed and some uncertainty handling methods are adopted, including maximum variance data discretization and fuzzy belief function. Finally, we think the process of spatial data mining can be regarded as a complex system, a linear serial processing system in engineering control systems. An uncertainty propagation model of spatial data mining - fuzzy logic uncertainty propagation model with credibility factor is developed. Moreover, several key problems about uncertainty handling and propagation in spatial data mining are put forward.

Segmentation and clustering of infrared small target images in a sky or sea-sky background is considered in this paper, which is the preprocessing part of the detection and recognition of the moving small targets in an infrared image sequence. The infrared image intensity surface is well fitted by the least squares support vector machines (LS-SVM), and then the maximum extremum points are detected on the well fitted intensity surface by convolving the image with the second order directional derivative operators deduced from the mapped LS-SVM with mixtures of kernels. With the coarse locations, the possible targets are extracted by the clustering analysis. The computer experiments are carried out for the real and simulated sky and sea-sky infrared images. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed approach is effective.

Three-dimensional echocardiography is a promising technique for quantitative analysis of heart functions because it can visualize the complex structure of the hearts intuitively. Within this new technical how to describe the motion of some part of the heart quantitatively is meaningful. This paper proposes a method of 3D motion estimation based on elliptic partial differential equation. It detects the displacement fields instead of the optical flow fields, which needs calibrated for. First a new quadratic error functional is proposed in this paper; then, it leads to a set of elliptic partial differential equations by variation calculus. Using finite difference method, this algorithm is possible to evaluation the motion of mitral valve.

This paper presents a method for the detection of small objects from the infrared images. The detection is performed on the intensity surface well fitted by the cubic facet model. The small target energy distribution presents as a convex surface on the image intensity surface and the target center is the maximal extremum points of the convex surface. According to the extremum theory, the possible small target position is analytically determined by directly convolving the original image with the derivative operators deduced from the bivariate cubic function. With the available coarse target locations, the potential target is separated from the background by examining the intensity features of the target cluster. Experimental results on the sample infrared images demonstrate the proposed algorithm provides a robust and efficient performance.

Shanghai Jiaotong University Shanghai 200030his paper proposes a novel video object tracking approach using birdirectional projection. Forward projection is exploited to locate the current video object with rough boundary information. Watershed segmentation is applied to the simplified gradient image of the current frame to obtain a reasonable partition. An improved backward projection which incorporates pixel classification with region classification is performed on some segmented regions in a rather small search range and the tracking performance is enhanced in respect to both reliability and efficiency. Experimental results for various types of the MPEG-4 (moving picture experts group) test sequences demonstrate an efficient and faithful segmentation performance of the proposed approach.
