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.

CAD drawings reuse is of great importance in promoting design efficiency and productivity. The ability to retrieve CAD drawings is the core of drawings reuse task. Most of the existing drawings retrieval systems rely only on text descriptions. Due to complexity of visual feature, a little system is based on content. A simplified topological relationship is proposed to describe visual features for dimension reduction. An effective topological relationship vector is constructed by graph spectra. A novel retrieval system based on visual contents, including topological relationships, shape, and directional relationships, is proposed. The experiments show that the proposed approach and system are superior to the text-based and traditional content-based retrieval systems.

A fuzzy logic controller (FLC) is designed to achieve course-keeping for mooring shifting system, which is the main system of non self-propelled vessels. Compared with manual operation, the automatic operation and monitoring system with the FLC can perform higher precision and efficiency. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is introduced to optimize the proposed FLCpsilas parameters. A series of simulation studies have been undertaken to compare the performance of a basis FLC and PSO based FLC. The results demonstrate that the latter has the better controlling quality.

A variational model which is used to locate at the boundary of the object in the designated region is presented in this paper. This is done by adding an intersect area term into our model, which will play an important role in this paper. In this model, we need to construct an energy functional ε using two level set functions. One is used to capture the object of interest, the other one indicates image region which should be corrected. By minimizing the proposed model with respected to both two functions,the approach permits to segment the more accurate boundary. We implement our model with two algorithms, advantages and disadvantages of the two algorithms are discussed according to the experiment result. At the same time, we compare our model with a model proposed by Chunming Li et al. The result shows that our model is more accurate.

B-scan ultrasound is the primary means for the diagnosis of fatty liver. However, due to use of various ultrasound equipments, poor quality of ultrasonic images and physical differences of patients, fatty liver diagnosis is mainly qualitative, and often depends on the subjective judgment of technicians and doctors. Therefore, computer-aided feature extraction and quantitative analysis of liver B-scan ultrasonic images will help to improve clinical diagnostic accuracy, repeatability and efficiency, and could provide a measure for severity of hepatic steatosis. This paper proposed a novel method of fatty liver diagnosis based on liver B-mode ultrasonic images using support vector machine (SVM). Fatty liver diagnosis was transformed into a pattern recognition problem of liver ultrasound image features. According to the different characteristics of fatty liver and healthy liver, important image features were extracted and selected to distinguish between the two categories. These features could be represented by near-field light-spot density, near-far-field grayscale ratio, grayscale co-occurrence matrix, and neighborhood gray-tone difference matrix (NGTDM). A SVM classifier was modeled and trained using the clinical ultrasound images of both fatty liver and normal liver. It was then exploited to classify normal and fatty livers, achieving a high recognition rate. The diagnostic results are satisfactorily consistent with those made by doctors. This method could be used for computer-aided diagnosis of fatty liver, and help doctors identify the fatty liver ultrasonic images rapidly, objectively and accurately.
