Interior tomography is to reconstruct the interior region of interest (ROI) from the projection data just across the ROI. One kind of interior reconstruction methods is based on the inversion of truncated Hilbert transform (THT) when there is a known sub-region inside ROI. However, the result via this method is usually to be degraded by noise in real data case. In this paper, we propose to incorporate the total variation (TV) minimization constraint into the THT-based interior tomography to improve the reconstruction quality. Therein, we first carry out projection-on-convex-sets (POCS) iteration on each chord, and then we perform a soft-threshold based TV minimization on the intermediate image. In order to validate the proposed method, we conduct both simulated and real data experiments. The results show that with TV constraint the proposed method can lead to better ROI with less noise.

Since fully automatic image segmentation on natural images is usually hard to provide guaranteed results, interactive scheme with a few simple user inputs becomes a good alternative. This paper presents a novel interactive method based on regional attacking and merging mechanism within a cellular automaton(CA) framework. With an attacking rule based on regions maximal similarity, the adjacent homogeneous regions that are initialized by pre-segmentation are automatically merged and labeled, the users only need to indicate the object and background regions with rough markers. The whole process needn't set any similarity threshold in advance and the desired contours are effectively extracted by labeling all the non-marker regions as either background or object. Extensive experiments are performed and the results show that the proposed scheme can reliably extract the object contours from the complex background.

Road sign detection plays an important role in driver assistance system. However, it faces problems of high computational cost and low contrast in video sequences. In this paper, we propose a two-level hierarchical algorithm which addresses these problems by making better use of the color and shape information of road signs. In order to solve the problem of low image contrast, we propose to improve the color contrast using our algorithm based on visual saliency. In order to reduce the high computational cost, an improved radial symmetry transform (IRST) is developed for grouping feature points on the basis of their underlying symmetry in an image. Experimental results show that our methods are robust to a broad range of lighting conditions and efficient enough for real-time applications.

Aiming at the nonlinear system fault diagnosis in multi-sensor observations, a novel sequential maximum likelihood ratio test for fault diagnosis based on multi-sensor particle weight optimization is proposed. Firstly, to improve the adverse effects on the stability of particle weight measurement caused by random noise, the particle weight optimization strategy is designed by multi-source information fusion technology to fully extract and exploit the redundancy and complementary information from multi-sensor observations. Its implementation principle is to improve the reliability and stability of particle weight by the decline of particle weight variance, and to promote the estimation precision. Secondly, combined with the sequential probability ratio test and the interacting multi-model, a novel online sequential maximum likelihood ratio method based on residual test is presented. In addition, considering the decline of computation complexity in the combination process of particle filter and interacting multi-model, the input interaction step and the output step are reasonably simplified in the construction of algorithm. The theoretical analysis and experimental results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

A novel distinctive descriptor named MSOGH is proposed, which is able to well represent the interest region and is robust to photometric transformations and geometric transformations. According to intensity order, subregions are firstly constructed. Then feature descriptor of the subregion is computed by point permutation of the sample points in each subregion. Finally, feature descriptor of the region is formed by concatenating all subregion feature descriptors. The discriminative power of the proposed descriptor is compared with 5 major existing region descriptors (MROGH, SIFT, GLOH, PCA-SIFT and spin images). Extensive experimental results show that the proposed descriptor achieves better performance than state-of-the-art descriptors.
