When matching regions from "similar" images, one typically has the problem of missing counterparts due to local or even global variations of segmentation fineness. Matching segmentation hierarchies, however, not only increases the chances of finding counterparts, but also allows us to exploit the manifold constraints coming from the topological relations between the regions in a hierarchy. In this paper we match hierarchies from panoramic images by constructing an association graph G/sub A/ whose vertices represent potential matches and whose edges indicate topological consistency. Specifically, a maximal [maximum] weight clique of GA corresponds to a topologically consistent mapping with maximal [maximum] total similarity. To find "heavy" cliques, we adapt a greedy pivoting-based heuristic to the weighted case. Experiments on pairs of panoramic images demonstrate the reliability of the results.

State Key Lab for Image Processing and Intelligent ControlHuazhong University of Science and Technology Wuhan 430074 China major limitation for deep space communication is the limited bandwidths available. The downlink rate using X-band with an L2 halo orbit is estimated to be of only 5.35 GB/d. However the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) will produce about 600 GB/d. Clearly the volume of data to downlink must be reduced by at least a factor of 100. One of the resolutions is to encode the data using very low bit rate image compression techniques. An very low bit rate image compression method based on region of interest(ROI) has been proposed for deep space image. The conventional image compression algorithms which encode the original data without any data analysis can maintain very good details and haven't high compression rate while the modern image compressions with semantic organization can have high compression rate even to be hundred and can't maintain too much details. The algorithms based on region of interest inheriting from the two previews algorithms have good semantic features and high fidelity and is therefore suitable for applications at a low bit rate. The proposed method extracts the region of interest by texture analysis after wavelet transform and gains optimal local quality with bit rate control. The Result shows that our method can maintain more details in ROI than general image compression algorithm(SPIHT) under the condition of sacrificing the quality of other uninterested areas

To meet the challenge of implementing rapidly advanced, time-consuming medical imageprocessing algorithms,it is necessary to develop a medical imageprocessing technology to process a 2D or 3D medical image dynamically on the web. But in a premier system, only static imageprocessing can be provided with the limitation of web technology. The development of Java and CORBA (common object request broker architecture) overcomes the shortcoming of the web static application and makes the dynamic processing of medical images on the web available. To develop an open solution of distributed computing, we integrate the Java, and web with the CORBA and present a web-based medical image dynamic processing methed, which adopts Java technology as the language to program application and components of the web and utilies the CORBA architecture to cope with heterogeneous property of a complex distributed system. The method also provides a platform-independent, transparent processing architecture to implement the advanced image routines and enable users to access large dataset and resources according to the requirements of medical applications. The experiment in this paper shows that the medical image dynamic processing method implemented on the web by using Java and the CORBA is feasible.

The mobile object (MO) location determination technologies which can be used in intelligent transportation system (ITS) are studied in this paper. The principles and characteristics of wireless location determination technologies are introduced and the characteristics of GSM useful for location determination are also summarized. An experimental positioning system based on GSM is proposed, and the architecture is described. TOA method based on GSM signals and TDOA method are used in the experimental system. Moreover, the methods are simulated. The performance of the positioning methods is assessed in the simulation environment, and the accuracy for 67% mobile stations (MS) is 70m in urban areas.

Support vector machine (SVM), as a novel approach in patternrecognition, has demonstrated a success in face detection and face recognition. In this paper, a face recognition approach based on the SVM classifier with the nearest neighbor classifier (NNC) is proposed. The principal component analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimension and extract features. Then one-against-all stratedy is used to train the SVM classifiers. At the testing stage, we propose an algorithm by combining SVM classifier with NNC to improve the correct recognition rate. We conduct the experiment on the Cambridge ORL face database. The result shows that our approach outperforms the standard eigenface approach and some other approaches.

A novel evolutionary route planner for aircraft is proposed in this paper. In the new planner, individual candidates are evaluated with respect to the workspace, thus the computation of the configuration space is not required. By using problem-specific chromosome structure and genetic operators, the routes are generated in real time,with different mission constraints such as minimum route leg length and flying altitude, maximum turning angle, maximum climbing/diving angle and route distance constraint taken into account.
