In this paper, we experimentally evaluate three different averaging methods for processing of electroencephalogram (EEG) event related potentials (ERPs) measured from scalp in response to repeated stimulus. In ERP applications, arithmetic mean (AM) is normally employed in processing the ERPs prior to ERP detection, whereas also other averaging methods might have beneficial properties. Fast ERP detection is essential, for example, in brain computer interfaces and during spine surgery. Thus, it is of interest to search for methods to aid in detecting ERPs with as few stimulus repetitions as possible. Here, noise reduction properties of AM, geometric mean (GM), and harmonic mean (HM) are demonstrated with simulations, and ERP processing by the three methods is illustrated by processing real visual evoked potentials (VEPs).

Automatic ground target recognition technology in downward-looking infrared imagery is challenging problems due to the complexity of real-world. A robust ground target recognition method is proposed for downward-looking infrared (DLIR) image sequences in this paper. A complete model of the proposed method is designed firstly and the principles of some key technologies are introduced as following. Perspective transformation is used to solve the projective problems of landmark translation, rotation and scale variance in real-time image sequence. The size of landmark is estimated real-timely by using flight parameters and imaging parameters for getting the model with an appropriate scale. Based on the matching results of landmark and flight parameters, target position technology is proposed to identify the position of target by using the position relation between landmark and target. Experimental results using real-world image data with complicated background showed that the proposed method not only causes high precisely locating results, but also has good robustness for target occlusion.

A hybrid method is used to evaluate atherosclerosis through a mathematical morphology approach and GVF-Snake method. Common carotid artery (CCA) segmentation requires outlining the intima and adventitia contours on the transverse view of B-mode ultrasound (US) images. The lumen and adventitia contours are segmented using a morphology and GVF-Snake methods, respectively. Upon analyzing ten separate patient data sets demonstrate that a comparison between the proposed method and the traditional approach (manual contouring) on 110 transverse images of the CCA showed a mean absolute distance (MAD) of 0.67±0.17mm for lumen and 0.64 ± 0.19mm for adventitia. Their Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) values are 92.7%±2.3% and 90.3%±3.5% for lumen and adventitia segmentation, respectively. These values are in good agreement with clinical standards.

This paper presents an occlusion robust image representation method and apply it to face recognition. Inspired from the recent work [15], we propose a Gabor phase difference representation for occlusion robust face recognition. Based on the good ability of Gabor filters to capture image structure and the robustness to image occlusion shown in this paper, Gabor phase features are expected to be discriminative and robust for face representation in occlusion case. Besides, we adopt spectral regression based discriminant analysis with the extracted Gabor phase features to find the most discriminant subspace to classify different faces. In this way, an occlusion robust face image discriminant subspace is derived. Extensive experiments with various occlusion cases show the efficacy of the proposed method.
