This paper attempts to introduce a velocity-separation difference model that modifies the previous models in the literature. The improvement of this new model over the previous ones lies in that it performs more realistically than others in the dynamical evolution of congestion. Furthermore, the proposed model is investigated with analytic and numerical method, with the finding that this model can demonstrate some complex physical features observed in real traffic such as the existence of three phases: free flow, coexisting flow, and jam flow; sudden flow drop; traffic hysteresis in transition between the free and the coexisting flow

Efficient visualization of large volumetric data is a challenge for imageprocessing community. In this paper, we present a novel volume rendering algorithm based on the concept of fractal. It consists of dividing the volumetric data set into sub-blocks, calculating the 3D fractal coefficients of each sub-block, projecting them to 2D image plane, and generating sub-images through 2D inverse fractal transform. The final rendered image is then obtained by simply summing the sub-images. Compared to the conventional ray casting technique, the proposed fractal volume rendering (FVR) method presents the advantage of reducing time complexity as well as memory complexity while maintaining good rendering quality. Moreover, the progressive refinement is supported owing to the iterative convergent process of sub-image generation

In this paper, image indexing based on weighted color co-occurrence matrix (WCCM) feature and isolation parameter-based feature selection is introduced. In this method, isolation parameter (IP) is used to indicate the visual perception complexity and conduct feature selection for each query image. When indexing images from database in the reduced feature space, the similarities of diagonal elements and non-diagonal elements of CCM feature are weighted separately with different values based on the isolation parameters of query image and images from database. The experiments show that the proposed method provides better results than modified color co-occurrence matrix (MCCM) based method and sub-range cumulative histogram (SCH) based method

Radial basis function (RBF) neural network can be used as a universal approximator. In this paper, we propose a novel method to apply RBF net to reconstruct 2-dimensional computerized tomography (CT) images from a small amount of projection data. In the method, the cross-sectional image is represented by a RBF network, the unknown cross-sectional image vector is replaced by the function of the network's weight vector. As proved by us, the line integral of the weight matrix can be calculated providing the projections of the CT image are known. The ART method can be employed to obtain the final reconstructed CT image. Experiments show that the proposed method can obtain the better reconstructed image than the filtered back projection (FBP), and it is also more efficient than ART method alone

Diagnostic ultrasound is one of useful and noninvasive tools for clinical medicine. However, due to its qualitative, subjective and experience-based nature, ultrasound images can be influenced by image conditions such as scanning frequency and machine settings. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to extract the liver features using the joint features of fractal dimension and the entropies of texture edge co-occurrence matrix based on ultrasound images, which is not sensitive to changes in emission frequency and gain. Then, Fisher linear classifier and support vector machine are employed to test on a group of 99 liver fibrosis images from 18 patients, as well as other 273 healthy liver images from 18 specimens

Feature extraction plays an important role in the whole process of liver characterization. Because the ultrasonic scanner in use can be adjusted by different clinicians to produce optimal images, the ultrasound images captured sometimes can be greatly influenced by machine settings and further impact the classification result. In this paper, some experiments are made to try to extract the liver features using the 2D phase congruency, which invariant to changes in intensity or contrast, to try to avoid those problems. The effectiveness of our method tested on three classes of liver images shows the potential for physicians to quantify liver status in clinical diagnosis

In this paper active feature models are proposed. They utilize local texture features and a statistical shape model for the reliable localization of landmarks in images. They are related to active appearance models, but instead of modelling the entire texture of an object they represent image texture by means of local descriptors. The approach has advantages with complex image data like anatomical structures that exhibit high texture variation with limited relevance for the recognition of the object location. Experimental results and the comparison to AAMs on different data sets indicate that active feature models can improve search speed and result accuracy, considerably
