In this paper, we propose a unified framework to perform progressive image restoration based on hybrid graph Laplacian regularized regression. We first construct a multi-scale representation of the target image by Laplacian pyramid, then progressively recover the degraded image in the scale space from coarse to fine so that the sharp edges and texture can be eventually recovered. On one hand, within each scale, a graph Laplacian regularization model represented by implicit kernel is learned which simultaneously minimizes the least square error on the measured samples and preserves the geometrical structure of the image data space by exploring non-local self-similarity. In this procedure, the intrinsic manifold structure is considered by using both measured and unmeasured samples. On the other hand, between two scales, the proposed model is extended to the parametric manner through explicit kernel mapping to model the inter-scale correlation, in which the local structure regularity is learned and propagated from coarser to finer scales. Experimental results on benchmark test images demonstrate that the proposed method achieves better performance than state-of-the-art image restoration algorithms.

In recent years, moving cast shadow detection has been becoming a critical challenge to improve the accuracy of moving object detection in video surveillance. In this paper, we derive a robust moving cast shadow detection method based on multiple features fusion. Firstly, several kinds of features such as intensity, color and texture are extracted sufficiently by means of various measures for the foreground image. Then, the synthetic feature map is generated by linear combination of these features. Consequently, moving cast shadow pixels are distinguished from their moving objects roughly. Finally, spatial adjustment is applied to correct misclassified pixels for acquiring the refined shadow detection result. The effectiveness of our proposed method is evaluated on various scenes. The results demonstrate that the method can achieve high detection rate. In particular, the experiments also indicate that it significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art methods by extensive comparisons.

Pattern Mining is a popular issue in biological sequence analysis. With the introduction of wildcard gaps, more interesting patterns can be mined. In this paper, we propose a new definition related to pattern frequency, under which the Apriori property holds. We define a pattern mining problem called Ming top-K Frequent Patterns (MFP), where gaps are mined instead of specified. Compared with existing problems, MFP does not require any domain knowledge of the user. However, theoretical analysis and experimental results show that MFP favors inflexible patterns. We then define another problem where the flexibility threshold of each gap is specified by the user. The problem is called Mining top-K Frequent and Flexible Patterns (MF 2 P). We develop algorithm with polynomial complexities for both problems. Patterns can grow from both sides. Some interesting biological patterns mined by our algorithms are discussed.

Spiking neural P systems (SN P systems, for short) are a class of distributed parallel computing devices inspired from the way neurons communicate by means of spikes. Recently, a variant of SN P systems was considered: at each step the neuron with the minimum number of spikes among the neurons that can spike will fire. In previous literature, it was obtained that such systems can achieve Turing completeness when the computing result is realized through accumulation of spikes in the output neuron. In this work, we use a natural way to define the computing result of the systems, by means of determining the time interval between the first two spikes emitted by the output neuron. As devices of computing functions, we construct a universal sequential SN P system based on minimum spike number (without delay) by using 137 neurons;as generators of sets of numbers, a universal sequential SN P system based on minimum spike number (without delay) with 126 neurons is also obtained.

This paper investigates distributed leader-following swarm of heterogeneous multi-agent systems. Comparing with the existing works on leader-following swarm of homogeneous multi-agent systems, this paper is much more approaching the practical situation because the agents have different dynamics. We show that the heterogeneous followers will gather with a certain error lever under some assumptions and conditions. The stability properties have been proven by theoretical analysis and verified via numerical simulation. The stability of the heterogeneous multi-agent systems has been achieved based on matrix theory and the Lyapunov stability theorem. Numerical simulation is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.

This paper investigates distributed leader-following swarm stability of heterogeneous multi-agent systems with periodically intermittent control. We assume that the agents in the network are nonidentical and the coupling matrix is balanced. Each heterogeneous follower is assumed to obtain some information from the leader and the neighbors only on a series of periodically time intervals. We show that the system will be exponentially stable. The stability properties are proved via theoretical analysis and verified via numerical simulations. The stability of the heterogeneous multi-agent systems is proved based on matrix theory and the Lyapunov stability theorem. A numerical example is shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical result.

Constructive Interference (CI) proposed in the existing work (e.g., A-MAC [1], Glossy [2]) may degrade the packet reception performance in terms of Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) and Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). The packet reception performance of a set of nodes transmitting simultaneously might be no better than that of any single node transmitting individually. In this paper, we redefine CI and propose TriggerCast, a practical wireless architecture which ensures concurrent transmissions of an identical packet to interfere constructively rather than to interfere non-destructively. CI potentially allows orders of magnitude reductions in energy consumption and improvements in link quality. Moreover, we for the first time present a theoretical sufficient condition for generating CI with IEEE 802.15.4 radio: concurrent transmissions with an identical packet should be synchronized at chip level. Meanwhile, co-senders participating in concurrent transmissions should be carefully selected, and the starting instants for the concurrent transmissions should be aligned. Based on the sufficient condition, we propose practical techniques to effectively compensate propagation and radio processing delays. TriggerCast has 95 th percentile synchronization errors of at most 250ns. Extensive experiments in practical testbeds reveal that TriggerCast significantly improves PRR (from 5% to 70% with 7 concurrent senders, from 50% to 98.3% with 6 senders) and RSSI (about 6dB with 5 senders).
