By analyzing the characteristics of off-road images, a new and computationally efficient algorithm of road segmentation and road type identification for autonomous land vehicle (ALV) navigation system based on the proposed new-type histogram calculation was established. The new-type histogram is a new image, not a curve. It is also directional. It makes a statistic of the pixels under some special direction. With the histogram images, each pixel in the original image is given a threshold separately, thus the road images are correctly segmented. Moreover, the new-type histogram image could be used to identify road type. It avoids the deficiency that road images are wrongly segmented by reason that the preset road model does not fit in the real scene in the conventional methods. The proposed method does not need any extraction of the relevant information in the image (texture of the road, shadows, road edges, etc.). The method is evaluated on thousands of the cross-country road images under various lighting conditions. The experimental results demonstrate the method's accuracy, feasibility and robustness. It increases the segmentation accuracy to an extent. This would be a potentially significant contribution to the active area of road segmentation in the ALV navigation system.

The paper presents a novel approach for contour-based shape retrieval. The contour is firstly sampled and smoothed by a Gaussian filter. Then, the sampled points are classified into salient (convex or concave) or smooth type points by their internal angles. In addition to distance histograms (DH), two new descriptors named relative address distribution (RAD) and relative unit entropy (RUE) are introduced to describe the correlation of each type of contour points. These descriptors have powerful descriptive ability for contour with more spatial information. Comparisons are conducted between the proposed method and several other feature descriptors. The results show that the new method is efficient and it provides noticeable improvement to the performance of shape retrieval.

This paper addresses the problem of terrain reconstruction for autonomous navigation. Dense stereo matching based terrain reconstruction methods are sensitive to mismatch pixels in disparity map, and consume lots of computation on pixels in uninterested regions. Traditional sample point pre-selection methods (SPPS) are effective, but they can only obtain sparse terrain map for grid-based representation. We extend the idea of SPPS methods and propose an interested sample point pre-selection (ISPPS) based dense reconstruction method. In this method, we choose appropriate interested sample points and set their reconstruction results as local control points, which can reduce the ambiguity and computation complexity in successive dense reconstruction procedures. The most prominent advantage of this method is it directly recovers the 3D terrain model without dense disparity map. Experiments show the proposed method is robust, and can achieve precise dense reconstruction with low computation complexity.

With the fast development of World Wide Web, the quantity of web information is increasing in an unprecedented pace, a great many of which are generated dynamically from background databases, and can't be indexed by traditional search engine, so we call them Deep Web. For the heterogeneous and dynamic features of Deep Web sources, classifying the Deep Web source by domain effectively is a significant precondition of Deep Web sources integration. In this paper, we consider the visible features of Deep Web and Maximum Entropy approach, and then on the basis of binary classification, we propose a new multivariate classification approach based on Maximum Entropy towards Deep Web sources. In addition, we propose a Feedback algorithm to improve the accuracy of classification. An experimental evaluation over real Web data shows that, our approach could provide an effective and general solution to the multivariate classification of Deep Web sources.

With the startup of the Golden Agriculture Project, the step of being-information of agriculture is becoming rapid. And the transformation and share of data is indispensable to the being-information of agriculture. How to implement data combination, data transformation and data receiving applications are the important means to complete the information share safely and enhance the efficiency. The paper starts with searching of methods to implement data interchange, and introduce some of the methods, points of the techniques, etc. Basing on this, the paper also introduces the detail requirement analyses, system design and detail implementation of the system. According to the requirement and trait of the project, a data interchange system is researched and completed. And a data interchange model based on message-oriented middleware (MOM) is presented in this paper, which builds a middleware between the province and the ministry taking part in data interchange. The system has traits as follows: 1. keeping the data safe and credible while it is transformed. 2. having excellent transplantable and applied capability. 3. doesn't need intervention of workman in the process of data interchange. 4. applying the data interchange between databases of different structure. 5. being simple to be developed and applied. MOM TongLink/Q offers interfaces for application development, and it completes the data transformation through the internet. The integration adapters developed do the data management, which are developed based on the Frame for Applications Integration TongIntegrator. This method offers a new approach to resolve the question of data interchange. Now the system has been successfully applied in the data interchange project of Ministry of Agriculture.
