Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genetic variant in humans, which can be generally classified into disease related mutations and common ones. It has been generally accepted that SNPs caused amino acid substitutions are of particular interest as candidates for affecting susceptibility to complex diseases, such as cancer, which is a serious public issue affecting millions of people worldwide each year. In this study, we have developed an automated and robust method to distinguish cancer-related mutations from common polymorphisms from amino acid sequence, which has a significant meaning for the cancer diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Multiple different sequential features are extracted and the most important features are finally selected for constructing the prediction model. Experimental results show that an overall 81.07% success rate has been obtained, indicating the proposed method is very promising in the clinical cancer research studies.

Human facial shapes undergo significant variations from infancy to teenage, while they change limitedly as people age into adulthood. In this paper, facial shapes of males across ages using Euclidean distances are studied and a D-A standard (Distance related to Ages) is proposed for this purpose. Further, we determine the distance features that significantly contribute to the aging face recognition. Experimental results using the MORPH database containing age separated facial images are encouraging and illustrate Euclidean distance features improve the performance of face recognition across ages.

An efficient I-frame R-Q model is still needed by the rate control in the latest H.264/AVC video coding standard. Some recent works introduced the gradient-based image complexity measure into the frame-layer intra rate estimation in H.264/AVC, but the issue at the macroblock layer was not discussed. We propose a new edge-based complexity measure for this bit rate estimation problem at both the frame-layer and the macroblock-layer. The LOG operator is used in the edge extraction and an adaptive threshold selection method is proposed. The experiments show that the proposed edge-based measure has a good linear relation with the intra frame bit rate.

This paper presents a copy-paste block detection method based on characteristics of double JPEG compress. The JPEG compress will bring JPEG compression characteristics to the DCT coefficients, these characteristics are closely related with the quality factor. Copy-paste tamper between JPEG images will disrupt the JPEG compression characteristics of the final image. The method in this paper is designed to deal with double JPEG compression whose DCT blocks are different during the two compresses, and the experiment shows that our method can work effectively on double JPEG compression with different quality factors and is not subject to the impact of DCT blocks.

In the presence of non-gaussian noise, we propose a method for the detection of underwater ship-radiated signal. The wavelet decomposition of the underwater signal yields a natural tree structure, which is further modeled by the Hidden Markov Tree (HMT). Therefore, the signal is represented as the parameter of the correspondent HMT. We analysis the likelihood defined on the parameters and form the new detection criteria. Experimental results demonstrate a reliable and robust solution of our method.
In most cases, echocardiographers examine threedimensional (3D) or four-dimensional (4D) echocardiographic images by studying several important cross sections which are defined as the optimal cross sections. It is a t...
