In this paper, we proposed a robot self position identification method by active sound localization. This method can be used for autonomous security robots working in room environments. A system using a AIBO robot equipped with two microphones and wireless network is constructed and is used for position identification experiments. Arrival time differences to the microphones of robot are used as localization cues. To overcome the ambiguity of front-back confusion, a three-head position measurement method was proposed. The robot position can be identified by the intersection of circles restricted by the azimuth differences to different speaker pairs. By localizing three or four speakers as sound beacons positioned on known locations, the robot can identify its self position with an average error of about 7 cm in a 2.5 times 3.0 m 2 working space

In this paper, we apply a multiple regression method based on canonical correlation analysis (CCA) to face data modelling. CCA is a factor analysis method which exploits the correlation between two high dimensional signals. We first use CCA to perform 3D face reconstruction and in a separate application we predict near-infrared (NIR) face texture. In both cases, the input data are color (RGB) face images. Experiments show, that due to the correlation between input and output signal, only a small number of canonical factors are needed to describe the functional relation of RGB images to the respective output (NIR images and 3D depth maps) with reasonable accuracy

The principles of Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) diagnosis are based on the information obtained from four diagnostic processes, which are inspection, listening and smelling, inquiry and palpation. These diagnosis methods mainly rely on the experiences of the doctors. With the development of information technology, computerization of the diagnosis method is urgent. However, there are so many challenges in this field. This paper will provide detailed introduction of these contents. Through it, the state of arts of the computerization of TCM and the existing challenge of this field can be gotten.

This paper introduces an efficient method for face localization and recognition in color images. The proposed method uses the location of eyes for computation and extraction of a face's bounding ellipse. In this way, parameters of a face's ellipse (center, orientation, major and minor axis), is computed by the location of eyes in a face image. In the next step, we apply Pseudo Zernike Moments (PZM), Zernike Moments (ZM) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for feature extraction. For classification of these feature vectors a new structure of RBF neural networks with a novel distance function is introduced and a new method for determination of RBF unit parameters is proposed. Finally, we compare the efficiency of the proposed system for three types of feature vectors (PZM, ZM and PCA). Results emphasize the high accuracy and efficiency of the PZM features proportion to other features (ZM and PCA) for use in the proposed recognition system.

A DSP/FPGA-based parallel architecture oriented to real-time imageprocessing applications is presented. The architecture is structured with high performance DSPs interconnected by FPGA. Within FPGA a FIFO interconnection network and the specific data communication protocol are implemented, which interconnect 3 DSPs (TMS320C6414) effectively. The measured performances in the prototype with the proposed parallel architecture, including inter-DSP data communication performance and system computing capacity, show high data transfer bandwidth (up to 400 Mbytes/s) with low latency as well as high imageprocessing performance, which achieve a good balance for parallel imageprocessing

Most of the watermark (WM) decoding schemes use correlation-based methods because of their simplicity. In these methods, the WM signal embedded through a secret key is assumed as uncorrelated with the host signal. This is a hard restriction that can never be achieved and correlation between the received signal and the secret key becomes greater than zero even though the received signal is un-watermarked. Mostly a decision threshold specified semi-automatically is used at the decoding site. Since the audio watermarking is a nonlinear process that guarantees the inaudibility, there is no analytic way of determining an optimal threshold value that makes the WM decoding problem harder. This paper introduces a learning scheme followed by a nonlinear classification thus eliminates the threshold specification problem. The decoding process is modelled as a three-class classification problem and support vector machines (SVMs) are used in the learning of the embedded data. The decoding and detection performances of the developed system are greater than 98% and 95%, respectively. When the watermark-to-signal-ratio (WSR) is higher than -30 dB, system false alarm ratios remain less than 2%. It is shown that the introduced WM decoding method is robust to additive noise and most of add/remove and filter attacks of Stirmark

Human tongue is the only organ of human, which can be laid out. It takes an important role in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) because of its abundant biomedical information. With the progress of modernization of TCM,computerization of tongue diagnosis attracts the researchers'interesting. Thus, how to get an accurate tongue region becomes a key of automatic tongue diagnosis. However, tongue images segmentation is difficult for some physiological properties: tongue is non-rigid and has a high degree of variability in size, shape, color and texture. This paper presents a novel tongue detection method based on *** this method to tongue image, we can get the satisfying results with the respect to robust and veracity.

We propose a classification method based on a decision tree whose nodes consist of linear support vector machines (SVMs). Each node defines a decision hyperplane that classifies part of the feature space. For large classification problems (with many support vectors (SVs)) it has the advantage that the classification time does not depend on the number of SVs. Here, the classification of a new sample can be calculated by the dot product with the orthogonal vector of each hyperplane. The number of nodes in the tree has shown to be much smaller than the number of SVs in a non-linear SVM, thus, a significant speedup in classification time can be achieved. For non-linear separable problems, the trivial solution (zero vector) of a linear SVM is analyzed and a new formulation of the optimization problem is given to avoid it
