Architectural elements are the components and details of buildings. Their unique set, combination, design, construction technique form the architectural style of buildings. Building facade classification by architectural styles is viewed as a task of classifying separate architectural structural elements. In the scope of building facade architectural style classification the current paper targets the problem of classification of Gothic and Baroque architectural elements called tracery, pediment and balustrade. Since certain gradient directions dominate on the shape of each architectural element, discrimination between dominating gradients means classification of architectural elements and thus architectural styles. We use local features to describe gradient directions. Our approach is based on clustering and learning of local features and yields a high classification rate.

A hybrid method is used to evaluate atherosclerosis through a mathematical morphology approach and GVF-Snake method. Common carotid artery (CCA) segmentation requires outlining the intima and adventitia contours on the transverse view of B-mode ultrasound (US) images. The lumen and adventitia contours are segmented using a morphology and GVF-Snake methods, respectively. Upon analyzing ten separate patient data sets demonstrate that a comparison between the proposed method and the traditional approach (manual contouring) on 110 transverse images of the CCA showed a mean absolute distance (MAD) of 0.67±0.17mm for lumen and 0.64 ± 0.19mm for adventitia. Their Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) values are 92.7%±2.3% and 90.3%±3.5% for lumen and adventitia segmentation, respectively. These values are in good agreement with clinical standards.

In this paper, the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is used for the classification of the epileptic electroencephalogram (EEG) signals. The ANFIS combines the adaptation capability of the neural networks and the fuzzy logic-based qualitative approach together. A given input/output data set is deployed to construct a fuzzy inference system, whose membership function parameters are trained using a back propagation algorithm in combination with a least squares method. However, the training method sometimes may lead to local optima. We here propose a new strategy of hybrid training algorithm based on the fusion of the ANFIS and Harmony Search (HS), HS-ANFIS, which is adopted to tune all the parameters of the ANFIS. The validity of our method is verified by numerical experiments.

In this paper, we experimentally evaluate three different averaging methods for processing of electroencephalogram (EEG) event related potentials (ERPs) measured from scalp in response to repeated stimulus. In ERP applications, arithmetic mean (AM) is normally employed in processing the ERPs prior to ERP detection, whereas also other averaging methods might have beneficial properties. Fast ERP detection is essential, for example, in brain computer interfaces and during spine surgery. Thus, it is of interest to search for methods to aid in detecting ERPs with as few stimulus repetitions as possible. Here, noise reduction properties of AM, geometric mean (GM), and harmonic mean (HM) are demonstrated with simulations, and ERP processing by the three methods is illustrated by processing real visual evoked potentials (VEPs).

Automatic target detection (ATD) in infrared (IR) imagery is a fundamental and challenging task in computer vision. A fast automatic target detection method in IR image sequence is proposed in this paper. Since the position and scale of target change real-timely, we can predict the target position in real-time image by using the history position of target and flight parameters information of previous and current frames, and then estimate the scale of target depending on flight parameters and imaging parameters for getting the model with the appropriate scale. In order to make the template matching more robust for target rotation, the template matching method based on parametric template vector is used to recognize the position of target. The detection result is identified by using multi-frame integration based on recognition information of history and currant frames. Some experimental results using real-world images with complicated background validate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method under rotation and scale variance condition.

A novel hybrid fitting energy-based active contour model in the level set framework is proposed. The method fuses the region and boundary information of the target to achieve accurate and robust detection performance. A special extra term that penalizes the deviation of the level set function from a signed distance function is also included in our method. This term allows the time-consuming redistancing operation to be removed completely. Moreover, a fast unconditionally stable numerical scheme is introduced to solve the problem. Experimental results on real infrared images show that our method can improve target detection performance efficiently in terms of the number of iterations and the wasted central processing unit (CPU) time.
