A novel image deblurring method based on high-order non-local range Markov Random Field (NLR-MRF) prior is proposed in the paper. NLR-MRF provides an effective framework to model the statistical prior of natural images and leads to excellent performance in the application of image denoising and inpainting. Moreover, the framework will be extended to image deblurring in our work. Instead of commonly used maximum a-posteriori (MAP) estimation, which has several shortcomings, the high-order NLR-MRF prior is integrated into Bayesian minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimation framework. Then, an efficient Gibbs sampling algorithm is adopted to compute MMSE estimation. The proposed method frees the user from determining regularization parameter beforehand, which relies on unknown noise level. We perform experiments on synthetic and real-world data to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Both quantitatively and qualitatively evaluations show superior or comparable results to the state-of-art deblurring methods.

The far-field intensity is detected from far-field image to estimate the piston distance between two gratings. The image processing algorithm includes projections along the horizontal and vertical directions, search for each focal spot's centre, feature extraction and intensity computation. Each focal spot's centre can be found with the projections. A self-growing method is used for feature extraction, where the threshold value depends on the gray value of each focal spot's centre. For each focal spot, the sum of gray values within the relevant domain is taken to be its energy intensity. Furthermore, the energy ratio of left and main focal spots (or main and right focal spots) is computed. A formula that expresses the piston distance between two gratings as the function of the energy ratio is fitted with several measured points. Based on this formula, the piston distance is obtained for a new energy-ratio. Finally, the proposed method is verified with a series of experiments.

Polarity shifting has been a challenge to automatic sentiment classification. In this paper, we create a corpus which consists of polarity-shifted sentences in various kinds of product reviews. In the corpus, both the sentimental words and shifting trigger words are annotated. Furthermore, we analyze all the polarity shifted sentences and categorize them into five categories: opinion-itself, holder, target, time and hypothesis. Experimental study shows the agreement of annotation and the distribution of the five categories of polarity shifting.

Wireless sensor networks are characterized by multihop network. Some nodes in network are required to forward a disproportionately high amount of traffic and die early, leaving the unmonitored areas in network and leading to the problem of energy hole. This paper investigates a variety of strategies to avoid the energy hole, such as communication power control, data aggregation, nonuniform energy distribution, mobile node auxiliary and clustering. The analysis and comparison of different strategies are given and the advantages and disadvantage of them are discussed in this paper.

Modern power grid is a typical multi-level complex giant system. The conventional analytical methods based on reductionism can't provide sufficient guidance for its operation and management. complex system theory, based on holism, has its specific advantages in power grid's research. But, it has some limitations. In this article, we improve complex grid by introducing new parameters which can describe the grid's characters better and using multi-agent theory. As an application, the complex power grid constructed with actual data from North China grid is constructed and its vulnerability has been simulated and analyzed under different attacks.

Video-based traffic flow monitoring is a fast emerging field based on the continuous development of computer vision. A survey of the state-of-the-art video processing techniques in traffic flow monitoring is presented in this paper. Firstly, vehicle detection is the first step of video processing and detection methods are classified into background modeling based methods and non-background modeling based methods. In particular, nighttime detection is more challenging due to bad illumination and sensitivity to light. Then tracking techniques, including 3D model-based, region-based, active contour-based and feature-based tracking, are presented. A variety of algorithms including MeanShift algorithm, Kalman Filter and Particle Filter are applied in tracking process. In addition, shadow detection and vehicles occlusion bring much trouble into vehicle detection, tracking and so on. Based on the aforementioned video processing techniques, discussion on behavior understanding including traffic incident detection is carried out. Finally, key challenges in traffic flow monitoring are discussed.

Due to FPGA's flexibility and parallelism, it is popular for accelerating image processing. In this paper, a double-parallel architecture based on FPGA has been exploited to speed up median filter and edge detection tasks, which are essential steps during image processing. The double-parallel scheme includes an image-level parallel and an operation-level parallel. The image-level parallel is a high-level parallel which divides one image into different parts and processes them concurrently. The operation-level parallel, which is embedded in each image-level parallel thread, fully explores every parallel part inside the concrete algorithms. The corresponding design is based on a DE2 Development Board which contains a CYCLONE II FPGA device. Meanwhile, the same task has also been implemented on PC and DSP for performance comparison. Despite the fact that operating frequencies of used PC and DSP are much higher than FPGA's, FPGA costs less time per computed image than both of them. By taking advantage of the double-parallel technique, the speed/frequency ratio of FPGA is 202 times faster than PC and 147 times faster than DSP. Finally, a detailed discussion about different platforms is conducted, which analyzes advantages and disadvantages of used computing platforms. This paper reveals that the proposed double-parallel scheme can dramatically speed up image processing methods even on a low-cost FPGA platform with low frequency and limited resources, which is very meaningful for practical applications.

The ACP (Artificial societies, Computational experiments and Parallel execution) approach has provided us an opportunity to look into new methods in addressing transportation problems from new perspectives. In this paper, we present our works and results of applying ACP approach in modeling and analyzing transportation system, especially carrying out computational experiments based on artificial transportation systems. Two aspects in the modeling process are analyzed. The first is growing artificial transportation system from bottom up using agent-based technologies. The second is modeling environment impacts in simple-is-consistent principle. Finally, two computational experiments are carried out on one specific ATS, Jinan ATS, and numerical results are presented to illustrate the applications of our method.

According to the shortcomings such as number of computer terms, abstract model definition and the complex description of people activity, this paper presents easy-to-use BPEL4WS modeling method and tool which encapsulates computer terms and convert business models to BPEL4WS models directly. In comparison to the other modeling methods, our method cut down the number of modeling elements by more than 85 percent and save the modeling time by 80 percent and accelerate model running by more than 40 percent. Thus it is more appropriate for popularization.

Traffic congestion leads to problems like delays, decreasing flow rate, and higher fuel consumption. Consequently, keeping traffic moving as efficiently as possible is not only important to economy but also important to environment. Traffic system is a large complex nonlinear stochastic system. Traditional mathematical methods have some limitations when they are applied in traffic control. Thus, computational intelligence (CI) technologies gain more and more attentions. Neural Networks (NNs) is a well developed CI technology with lots of promising applications in traffic signal control (TSC). In this paper, a neural network (NN) based signal controller is designed to control the traffic lights in an urban traffic road network. Scenarios of simulation are conducted under a microscopic traffic simulation software. Several criterions are collected. Results demonstrate that through online reinforcement training the controllers obtain better control effects than the widely used pre-time and actuated methods under various traffic conditions.
