Reconstruction algorithm based on total variation (TV) minimization has become a hot topic in CT field. In order to make a better balance between suppressing noise and preserving edge, an improved variation is proposed in this paper. An anisotropic strategy is developed to effectively preserve the edges of imaging objects. Simultaneously, the unity weight in the original variation is substituted by an amplitude dependent weight to suppress the smaller variations, which arise from noise effect with a higher possibility. Numerical simulations validated that the CT reconstruction based on the improved variation has a better reconstruction performance as compared to its original counterpart.

We propose to estimate human gender from corresponding fingerprint and face information with the Bayesian hierarchical model. Different from previous works on fingerprint based gender estimation with specially designed features, our method extends to use general local image features. Furthermore, a novel word representation called latent word is designed to work with the Bayesian hierarchical model. The feature representation is embedded to our multimodality model, within which the information from fingerprint and face is fused at the decision level for gender estimation. Experiments on our internal database show the promising performance.

This paper presents a new approach for visualizing the surfaces from 3D ultrasound data. 3D ultrasound data usually contain substantial quantity of speckle noise, which makes the extraction of smooth and continuous surfaces extremely difficult. In this paper, combining the partial differential equation model of anisotropic diffusion filter with the Lee filter, we present a new algorithm for handling 3D ultrasound data, aiming to suppress the speckle noise, and meanwhile, smooth the ultrasound image. Additionally, the marching cubes algorithm is applied to extract a smooth endocardial surface. Comparing experiments are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach.

In this paper, a multiple fault diagnosis method based on case-based reasoning (CBR) is presented. And the characteristics of multiple fault modes are studied, then the case knowledge library is established for multiple faults, finally a twostep case retrieval strategy is proposed. The candidate case generation method based on the membership weights is employed to initially retrieve, which can reduce the number of candidate cases efficiently. Then, through calculating the case similarity using the grey relational analysis, the most probable fault case is obtained. It can avoids the problem of time-consuming computation resulting from the combination explosion of multiple faults. Finally, an example is applied to illustrate the proposed scheme, the results mean that the above method is effective, and it can be adopted in the actual industrial production.

In tooth implantation surgery, dentist or surgeon needs to derive quantitative information about the place each implant should be go, the length and width of each implant should be, as well as the angle each implant should be inserted, based on the 3D CT image of jaw of a patient. In existing techniques, the information is measured from such slices that are generated from virtually cutting teeth-ridge along the direction perpendicular to teeth-ridge. However, according to the clinical experience and anatomical knowledge, usually the largest length of each implant should be measured on such slice that is generated by cutting teeth-ridge along the tooth root direction. Besides, for each defect tooth, the most suitable angle or orientation to insert an implant is the tooth root orientation. Thus, in surgical planning of dental implant, it is much important to compute or estimate tooth root orientation from 3D CT image of jaw. To our knowledge, this problem is seldom studied in existing literature. In this paper, we try to discuss this problem.

A method of printing and certificate forgery based on digital watermarking is presented. This method embeds watermark in the DFT domain using the principles that middle and low frequency coefficients have little changes in print-scan process, and using HOUGH transform for image correction to resist rotation attacks when extracting watermarks. The experimental results show that this method has strong robustness to first print-scan images, which can be detected right watermarks, while for the second print-scan images robustness drops about 20%. Therefore the algorithm can be used to identify the authenticity of printing and certificates by the correction of the watermarks and can be used to all types of copyright protection and certificates security.

This paper focuses on route planning, especially for unmanned aircrafts in marine environment. Firstly, new heuristic information is adopted such as threat-zone, turn maneuver and forbid-zone based on voyage heuristic information. Then, the cost function is normalized to obtain more flexible and reasonable routes. Finally, an improved sparse A* search algorithm is employed to enhance the planning efficiency and reduce the planning time. Experiment results showed that the improved algorithm for aircraft in maritime environment could find a combinational optimum route quickly, which detoured threat-zones, with fewer turn maneuver, totally avoiding forbid-zones, and shorter voyage.

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.
