Noise is a common phenomenon in many real-world optimizations. It has long been argued that evolutionary algorithm (EA) should be relatively robust against it. As a novel computing model in evolutionary computations, estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) is also encountered with it. This paper initially presents three dynamic models of EDA under the additively noisy environment with three different selection methods (proportional selection method, truncation selection method and tournament selection method). We verify that when the population size is infinite, EDA can converge to the global optimal point. This concept establishes the theoretic foundation for optimization of noisy fitness functions with EDA

In clinical practice, digital subtraction angiography (DSA) is a powerful technique for the visualization of blood vessels in X-ray image sequences. Different with traditional DSA image registration processes, in our proposed image registration method, the control points are selected from the vessel centerlines using multiscale Gabor filters, and mutual information (MI) is then taken as the similarity criterion to find the correspondences. Experimental results demonstrate our algorithm efficiently yields satisfying registration result for DSA images.

The residue number system (RNS) has computational advantages in addition and multiplication compared with weighted number systems, such as the binary number system (BNS), since operations on residue digits are performed independently and these processes can be performed in parallel. Thus they are widely used in digital signal processing etc. Since residue to binary conversion is critical and difficult for the practicality of RNS, in this paper, a novel residue to binary (R/B) conversion algorithm for the restricted moduli set (2/sup n/ -1, 2/sup n/, 2n+1), based on exploring the periodicity of modulo (2/sup n/ /spl plusmn/ 1) operations is presented. A new 2n-bit adder based R/B converter is also proposed. The performance comparison results demonstrate that the new converter is faster and requires less area compared with the others reported in the previous literature.

A new parallel-based lifting algorithm (PBLA) for the 9/7 filters, exploring the parallelism of arithmetic operations in each lifting step, was proposed in this paper. It shortened significantly the critical path of computation, and resulted in a fast VLSI implementation architecture. In comparison with the conventional lifting algorithm based implementation (CLABI), the latency is reduced by more than half from (4T/sub m/ + 8T/sub a/) to (T/sub m/ + 4T/sub a/), which is competitive to that of convolution based implementation CBI, and can be further reduced to Tm by inserting 3 stages of pipeline. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed architecture has good performances in both speed and area.

Vehicle occupants that are out-of-position can be deadly injured by the deployment of the air bag in a crash situation. In recent years many different sensors and systems have been proposed to detect the type of occupant and the position of the occupant's head. This work presents a method for classification and occupant's head detection based on passive stereo vision. The proposed system uses depth surface analysis and scene statistics together with support vector machines for classification and selection of head candidates. Evaluation of the method shows 99% correct for classification and 98% correct for head detection, using large sets of image data, and image sequences recorded in a driving vehicle.
