The "Binding Problem" is an important problem across many disciplines, including psychology, neuroscience, computational modeling, and even philosophy. In this work, we proposed a novel computational model, Bayesian Linking Field Model, for feature binding in visual perception, by combining the idea of noisy neuron model, Bayesian method, Linking Field Network and competitive mechanism. Simulation Experiments demonstrated that our model perfectly fulfilled the task of feature binding in visual perception and provided us some enlightening idea for future research.

The vehicle routing problem with simultaneous delivery and pickup (VRPSDP) is studied under capacity constraint and maximum distance constraint;and the mixed integer programming model is built. To deal with the fluctuation in vehicle load, we propose an ant colony system (ACS) approach by combining the pheromone updating strategy of rank-based version of the ant system (ASRank) with the MAX-MIN ant system (MMAS). A heuristic factor based on the residual loading capacity is also designed to improve the vehicle loading rate. Additionally, a local search strategy of node-exchange is used in the process of tour improvement to accelerate the searching. Finally, numerical results show that the algorithm provides the desirable solution with high convergence rate.

To preserve the sharp features and details of the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image effectively when despeckling, a despeckling algorithm with edge detection in nonsubsampled second generation bandelet transform (NSBT) domain is proposed. First, the Canny operator is utilized to detect and remove edges from the SAR image. Then the NSBT which has an optimal approximation to the edges of images and a hard thresholding rule are used to approximate the details while despeckling the edge-removed image. Finally, the removed edges are added to the reconstructed image. As the edges are detected and protected, and the NSBT is used, the proposed algorithm reaches the state-of-the-art effect which realizes both despeckling and preserving edges and details simultaneously. Experimental results show that both the subjective visual effect and the mainly objective performance indexes of the proposed algorithm outperform that of both Bayesian wavelet shrinkage with edge detection and Bayesian least square-Ganssian scale mixture (BLS-GSM).

The paper proposes a shape-adaptive wavelet coding algorithm for the known object of the diagnostic region of three-dimensional medical images. The new algorithm only applies to the shape-adaptive transformation of the pixels inside the object for decorrelation. After transformation, the number of coefficients of the object is as many as that of the pixels inside the image area. To achieve a quick and lossless transformation, a novel shape-adaptive wavelet transform based on lifting scheme for arbitrarily shaped object is proposed. By analyzing the location of invalid coefficients transformed, the paper also proposes a modified OB-3DSPECK (Object-based Set Partitioned Embedded Block Coder) method that cancels symbol outputs of invalid block or coefficients outside the object, specifically, only two types of symbols are output to arithmetic coding codec. For the object region of three-dimensional medical images, the proposed algorithm supports the lossy-to-lossless embedded en/decoding. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms OB-3DSPIHT by 0.5 dB on the average SNR. Furthermore, because of the reduction of the output of one type symbol, the arithmetic coding becomes optional.

In this paper, we propose an approach to automatic detection of semantic object. The method provides an effective content expression pattern for semantic analysis and retrieval of video. In the moving semantic object detection model, motion contrast is computed based on the planar motion (homography) between frames, which is estimated by applying RANSAC algorithm on point correspondences in the scene. In the semantic object detection model of static frame, the three features used are intensity, color and texture. Then a dynamic fusion technique is applied to combine these models. The automatic detection method can greatly decrease computation and be used in pervasive computing environment conveniently. Experimental results verify efficiency of proposed approach.

Hyper Surface Classification (HSC) is a novel classification method based on hyper surface which is put forward by Qing He, etc. Experiments show that HSC can efficiently and accurately classify large-size data in two dimensional space and three-dimensional space. Actually, it is difficult to deal with high dimensional data for HSC. So the dimension reduction (data rearrangement) and ensemble methods (feature subspace) are proposed for HSC. But the method based on ensemble will produce many inconsistent and repetitious data in some density dataset, which influence the classification ability of HSC. To solve the problem, a simple and effective kind of data feature transformation method for enhancing performance of HSC is proposed in this paper. The experimental results show that this method can efficiently reduce the inconsistent and repetitious data, efficiently utilize the data information, and remarkably improve the classification performance of HSC.

This paper introduced a novel high performance algorithm and VLSI architectures for achieving bit plane coding (BPC) in word level sequential and parallel mode. The proposed BPC algorithm adopts the techniques of coding pass prediction and parallel & pipeline to reduce the number of accessing memory and to increase the ability of concurrently processing of the system, where all the coefficient bits of a code block could be coded by only one scan. A new parallel bit plane architecture (PA) was proposed to achieve word-level sequential coding. Moreover, an efficient high-speed architecture (HA) was presented to achieve multi-word parallel coding. Compared to the state of the art, the proposed PA could reduce the hardware cost more efficiently, though the throughput retains one coefficient coded per clock. While the proposed HA could perform coding for 4 coefficients belonging to a stripe column at one intra-clock cycle, so that coding for an NxN code-block could be completed in approximate N2/4 intra-clock cycles. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed designs have high throughput rate with good performance in terms of speedup to cost, which can be good alternatives for low power applications.
