Barcode has been widely applied in the modern world. This paper presents a fast and robust recognition method of noisy code 39 barcode. The proposed method can be divided into two steps: search and decoding. In the first step, all asterisks in the image are found with evenly defined scan lines and then those with the same directions are matched together to get a valid barcode region. In the second step, a local denoise method is first applied to eliminate noise in the barcode region and then a middle band filter is used to decode the barcode. Our method is simple in comparison with former methods and experimental results show that it is efficient for fast barcode recognition on noisy images.

This paper aims to carry out granular analysis of time sequence based on quotient space. Granular methods have long before been adopted to analyze time sequence, but the granularity was based on time, for example, day mean, month mean, year mean and so on in finance forecast. In this paper, the granularity is based on space and some significant results are obtained: we can, in certain circumstances, get characteristics of time sequence in an original space when carrying out granular analysis of it in its coarser-grain space; granular analysis of a Markov chain is equivalent to an hidden Markov model (HMM), contrarily, any HMM is equivalent to granular analysis of a Markov chain. These results deepened our understanding of HMM from the perspective of granular analysis. We can not only use the methods of HMM to study time sequence, but also use the methods of granular analysis based on quotient space theory to solve the problems of HMM.

A novel Parallel-Based Lifting Algorithm (PBLA) for Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), exploiting the parallelism of arithmetic operations in all lifting steps, is proposed in this paper. It leads to reduce the critical path latency of computation, and to reduce the complexity of hardware implementation as well. The detailed derivation on the proposed algorithm, as well as the resulting Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) architecture, is introduced, taking the 9/7 DWT as an example but without loss of generality. In comparison with the Conventional Lifting Algorithm Based Implementation (CLABI), the critical path latency of the proposed architecture is reduced by more than half from (4Tm + 8Ta)to Tm + 4Ta, and is competitive to that of Convolution-Based Implementation (CBI), but the new implementation will save significantly in hardware. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed architecture has good performance in both increasing working frequency and reducing area.

A new digital image scrambling method based on DCT and chaos maps is presented in this *** the chaotic system in semi-frequency domain,all the pixels of the original image are rearranged and *** procedure of the algorithm is roughly divided into three steps:first,an original image is decomposed for its first variable by 1-D DCT, then modulated by chaos system,a primary scrambling result is achieved,at last,after by inverse 1-D DCT for the scrambling result,repeating the same procedure for the second variable,a final scrambling result is obtained for the original *** confirm the robustness of the novel method,some robustness testing experiments are carried out on the scrambling *** experimental results shows that the method succeeds in enduring several kinds of common image attacks,such as cropping,noise and rotation.

In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a powerful technique for the visualization of blood vessels in the human body. Blood vessel segmentation is a main problem for 3D vascular reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a new adaptive thresholding method for the segmentation of DSA images. Each pixel of the DSA images is declared to be a vessel/background point with regard to a threshold and a few local characteristic limits depending on some information contained in the pixel neighborhood window. The size of the neighborhood window is set according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels to make sure that each window contains the background definitely. Some experiments on cerebral DSA images are given, which show that our proposed method yields better results than global thresholding methods and some other local thresholding methods do.

Vessel segmentation is the base of 3d reconstruction of Digital Subtraction Angiograph (DSA) images. This paper proposes a framework of adaptive local thresholding based on a verification-based approach for vessel segmentation of DSA images. The original DSA image is firstly divided into overlapping subimages according to a priori knowledge of the diameter of vessels. We implement a hypothesis test to determine whether each subimage contains vessels and then choose an optimal threshold respectively for every subimage previously determined to contain vessels, with a secondary verification process to exclude the condition that the subregion only containing the background but misclassified as one containing vessels by the hypothesis test. Finally an overall binarization of the original image is achieved by combining the thresholded subimages. Experiments demonstrate superior performance over global thresholding and some adaptive local thresholding methods.
