Mass localization is a crucial problem in computer-aided detection (CAD) system for the diagnosis of suspicious regions in mammograms. In this paper, a new automatic mass detection method for breast cancer in mammographic images is proposed. Firstly, suspicious regions are located with an adaptive region growing method, named multiple concentric layers (MCL) approach. Prior knowledge is utilized by tuning parameters with training data set during the MCL step. Then, the initial regions are further refined with narrow band based active contour (NBAC), which can improve the segmentation accuracy of masses. Texture features and geometry features are extracted from the regions of interest (ROI) containing the segmented suspicious regions and the boundaries of the segmentation. The texture features are computed from gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and completed local binary pattern (CLBP). Finally, the ROIs are classified by means of support vector machine (SVM), with supervision provided by the radiologist׳s diagnosis. To deal with the imbalance problem regarding the number of non-masses and masses, supersampling and downsampling are incorporated. The method was evaluated on a dataset with 429 craniocaudal (CC) view images, containing 504 masses. Among them, 219 images containing 260 masses are used to optimize the parameters during MCL step, and are used to train SVM. The remaining 210 images (with 244 masses) are used to test the performance. Masses are detected with 82.4% sensitivity with 5.3 false positives per image (FPsI) with MCL, and after active contour refinement, feature analysis and classification, it obtained 1.48 FPsI at the sensitivity 78.2%. Testing on 164 normal mammographic images showed 5.18 FPsI with MCL and 1.51 FPsI after classification. Experiments on mediolateral oblique (MLO) images have also been performed, the proposed method achieved a sensitivity 75.6% at 1.38 FPsI. The method is also analyzed with free response operating characteristi

In recent years, the Total Generalized Variation (TGV) model has received lots of attention in image processing community. Though this model can restore image with natural intensity transitions, its spatial identical parameter setting limits its performance. In this paper, we propose a novel Adaptive Weighted Total Generalized Variation model for image restoration. We analyze the TGV model from Bayesian Probability view and derive a novel adaptive parameter calculation scheme for it, exploiting the image's self-similarity. Experiment results on image deblurring and reconstruction show that by adapting the parameters in TGV model to image contents, the proposed model can restore image's edges and details well and achieve significant improvement over state of the art variational based models.

The shadow is a particular phenomenon in SAR images, inflecting some information of the target. However, the shadow edges are blurred in SAR images. Thus, we analyze the causes for the blurring phenomenon of shadow edges in terms of SAR imaging algorithms in this paper. Taking the range Doppler algorithm for example, we conduct four simulation experiments to compensate for different processing steps and compare the imaging discrepancy among the refocused shadow edges. The conclusions are that the blurring phenomenon of shadow edges in SAR images is mainly reflected in azimuth, and azimuth compression is the major impact-factor to the shadow imaging quality. It is obvious that optimization of azimuth compression should get more attention for shadow enhancement in SAR images.

Travel time parameters obtained from road traffic sensors data play an important role in traffic management practice. In this paper, a travel time analysis and prediction model was established for urban road traffic sensors data based on the change point analysis algorithm and ARIMA model. Firstly, time series of travel time parameters were clustered by using change point mining algorithm after traffic sensors data preprocessing. Then, a travel time prediction model was established based on ARIMA model. Finally, the model was verified with high accuracy through simulation by using multiple sets of data and analysis of its practicability was done.

The hot rolled strip laminar cooling system is a complex industrial process, associated with features of strong nonlinear and changing operating conditions. So, the process is hard to control with traditional close loop control methods. But fortunately, there is the repeated characteristic in the laminar cooling process, which is very suited to apply the iterative learning between the strips. So, PI iterative learning method is proposed in this paper to learn the inner knowledge between the strips with similar working condition. On the other hand, in order to improve the control effect,CBR(case-based reasoning) technology is applied to adjust the parameters P and I according to the changing working conditions. The experiments are conducted with industrial operating data. The results show that, with the proposed method, it is effective to find the right operating point quickly and the strip coiling temperature can be controlled in the suitable range.

Cluster analysis is important in scientific and industrial fields. In this study, we proposed a novel chaotic biogeography-based optimization (CBBO) method, and applied it in centroid-based clustering methods. The results over three types of simulation data showed that this proposed CBBO method gave better performance than chaotic particle swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, firefly algorithm, and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization. In all, our CBBO method is effective in centroid-based clustering.
