In this paper, we propose a scheme for moving object tracking from videos by combining mean shift and motion field statistics. For mean shift, we employ an enhanced spatial-range mean shift that enables a reduced numb...

A novel wideband 5.8GHz CPW-fed an- tenna is presented for Radio frequency identification (RFID) tag. Four U-shaped and four L-shaped branches are used as additional resonators to achieve wideband operation. The proposed antenna was analyzed numeri- cally using the Method of moment (MOM) and the Fi- nite element method (FEM). With the antenna size lim- ited to 30 × 30mm2, the ?10dB bandwidth obtained by MOM is 3.235GHz (5.765~9GHz) and the ?9.5dB band- width obtained by FEM is 2.74GHz (5.32~8.06GHz), cor- responding to 55.7% and 47.2% of the center frequency 5.8GHz respectively. Moreover, the simulated results show that the proposed antenna has gain of more than 4.8dBi and the radiation pattern is nearly omnidirectional in the H-plane. The measured ?10dB bandwidth is 2.68GHz (5.63GHz~8.31GHz), 46.2% of the 5.8GHz frequency. Fur- thermore, there are three measured resonant frequencies at 1.34GHz, 3.23GHz and 5.8GHz with lower than ?10dB return loss respectively. The measurement result achieves a wideband RFID tag antenna performance and is in good agreement with the calculated results.
A hierarchical structure is a stack of successively reduced image representations. Each basic element of a hierarchical structure is the father of a set of elements in the level below. The transitive closure of this f...

Small storage space for photographs in formal documents is increasingly necessary in today's needs for huge amounts of data communication and storage. Traditional compression algorithms do not sufficiently utilize the distinctness of formal photographs. That is, the object is an image of the human head, and the background is in unicolor. Therefore, the compression is of low efficiency and the image after compression is still space-consuming. This paper presents an image compression algorithm based on object segmentation for practical high-efficiency applications. To achieve high coding efficiency, shape-adaptive discrete wavelet transforms are used to transformation arbitrarily shaped objects. The areas of the human head and its background are compressed separately to reduce the coding redundancy of the background. Two methods, lossless image contour coding based on differential chain, and modified set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) algorithm of arbitrary shape, are discussed in detail. The results of experiments show that when bit per pixel (bpp)is equal to 0.078, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) of reconstructed photograph will exceed the standard of SPIHT by nearly 4dB.

Thousands of fragments of ceramics (called sherds for short) are found at archaeological excavation sites. One of these excavations sites is Tel Dor in Israel. The excavators in Dor use hand drawings and a profilograph for documentation of sherds. Both techniques acquire a cross-section of the sherd, the so called profile line, which is used for classification and statistical analysis about the ancient population of Dor. As proposed in previous work we are developing a fully automated system for documentation of sherds by 3D-acquisition based on structured light and extraction of the profile line. Consequently we joined the field trip to Tel Dor in July, 2004 to compare in-situ the accuracy and performance of the traditional hand drawings, the profilograph and our system. We therefore alos measured the time for each step of documentation in-situ to find bottle-necks in documented sherds per hour. Based on these results we could propose an improvement to increase the throughput of our system by a factor of 5. The results of the comparison of all three techniques of documentation of sherds, the improvement for our system and a methodological experiment for future work are shown in this report.

This paper is concerned with algorithms for removal additive noise from images. The proposed (α,ß)-trimmed mean filtering is suitable for application to real images corrupted by Gaussian, uniform and impulsive noise. The developed technique is a generalization of α-trimmed mean filter and have the same basic properties as rank-order filters. The actual performance of proposed technique was compared with that of average, median and midpoint filters and evaluated on noisy images by the error of restoration. The illustrative examples are given.

This paper focuses on basic geometric and topological access methods, and computational operations implemented by various data objects. It covers such methods as inter-slices point matching, stream slices, sorting of octree blocks, cell operations and experimental results. At first, this paper discusses in detail the feature points matching of inter-slices. Then it introduces stream slices eigenfields and octree data structures theories. Next, it discusses cell operations and its data structure. Finally, it shows an experimental result. The innovations in the paper is the data structure of slices feature and cell feature, and the feature matching methods owns the properties both quickly and exactly.
