In this paper, we presented a ringing metric to evaluate the quality of images restored using iterative image restoration algorithms. A ringing metrics is used to assessment the restored images based on the Gabor filter. The experimental results validate the proposed method perform well over a wide range of restoration image ringing levels assessment. And the proposed model has given good agreement with observer ratings obtained in subjective experiments.

Combining bottom-up and top-down attention influences, a novel region extraction model which based on object-accumulated visual attention mechanism is proposed in this paper. Compared with early research, the new approach brings in prior information at the proper time, updates scan path dynamically, needs less computational resources and reduces the probability to direct the attention to a less-meaning area. The application to search an airport target in remote sensing image was provided, through which the novel mechanism that how visual attention chose the area was described. Compared with another two region extraction models, experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the approach proposed in this paper.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast threshold. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper using wavelet transformation fractal dimension to fuse dual band infrared images, and then detect targets is better than using mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.

Most experimental and decoding algorithm studies of brain neural signals assume that neurons transmit information as a rate coding, but recent studies on the fast cortical computations indicate that temporal coding is probably a more biologically plausible scheme used by neurons. We introduce spiking neural networks (SNN) which consist of spiking neurons propagate information by the timing of spikes to analyze the cortical neural spike trains directly without temporal information lost. The SNN based temporal pattern classification is compared with the conventional artificial neural networks (ANN) based firing rate analysis. The results show that the SNN algorithm can achieve higher accuracy, which demonstrates that temporal coding is a viable code for fast neural information processing and the SNN approach is suitable for recognizing the temporal pattern in the cortical neural signals.

The principle of target tracking and data fusion techniques are discussed. To resolve high uncertainty that exists in sensors of mobile robots, one multi-sensor data fusion algorithm is presented. The algorithm is based on particle filter techniques, fuses the information coming from multiple sensors and merges different state space models. So it can be used to eliminate system and measurement noise and estimate value of position and headings of mobile robot. On simulation experiments, we compare different cases such as single sensors and multi-sensor data fusion, the results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of this algorithm and exhibits good tracking performance.

Aero-optic effects cause distortions, including blurring, vibration, deformation and spatial shifting, of the objects in the image obtained by the infra-red sensor. Contributions of this paper are in the following two aspects. First, the correctness of the theoretical point spread function (PSF) representing the aero-optic effects, which had been derived in our previous research, is validated experimentally. Second, in order to restore the aero-optically degraded images, an improved Landweber iteration method is proposed, where, instead of being fixed, the relaxation factor is updated adaptively at each iteration. Experiments have been carried out and results demonstrate that the proposed method introduces improved restoration results with better convergence.

controller synthesis uses hardware description language and synthesis optimization tools from a higher abstract level. State transition graph of completely specified finite state machine is adopted to describe the behavior of controller. State transition graph STG_org was generated before synthesized and state transition graph STG_ext was reversely extracted from structure realization of controller synthesis. If STG_org and STG_ext were equivalent then corresponding process of controller synthesis was correct. The paper gives a formal verification algorithm of controller synthesis with time complexity O(B 2 /Aldrt 1 (n)+A ldr t 2 (m,n)) .In order to further improve time complexity of algorithm, a verifying algorithm with synthetic information guidance was proposed. The algorithm is proved efficient in theory for its time complexity is decreased to O(Bldrt 1 (n) + Aldrt 2 (m,n)).

High-rate analog-to-digital converters (ADC's) are ubiquitous and critical components in advance signal processing, such as software radio and ultra wideband (UWB) radar system. In this paper, we propose an alternative parallel sampling scheme, which is based on random projection, for an ultra- wideband analog to digital conversion. The sampling rate by using proposed scheme can be reduced to 1/m Nyquist sampling rate where m is the number of parallel channel. Compared with conventional ADCs based on pulse code modulation (PCM), the proposed method makes the sub-Nyquist sampling possible. And compared with other parallel sampling scheme methods, it can be easy implemented without any apriori knowledge about the signal. And it is very suitable for sampling UWB signals with short time support. Additionally, the detail implementation structure, performance analysis and simulation results of proposed method are given.

A new multiple description coding (MDC) approach is proposed based on the theory of compressive sensing (CS). The CS theory allows a signal to be reconstructed from a small number of its random measurements if the signal is sparse in some space. An attractive property of CS for MDC applications is that the reconstruction error only depends on the number but not on which of the transmitted measurements that are received. By treating each CS measurement as a description, we have a balanced MDC scheme with fine description granularity and low encoding complexity. Another advantage of the new MDC approach is that all signals can be coded the same but decoded in different spaces for better sparse reconstruction.
