Most previous studies have mainly focused on the analyses of one entire network(graph) or the giant connected components of networks. In this paper, we investigate the disconnected components(non-giant connected component) of some real social networks, and report some interesting discoveries about structural properties of disconnected components. We study three diverse, real networks and compute the significance profile of each component. We discover some similarities in the local structure between the giant connected component and disconnected components in diverse social networks. Then we discuss how to detect network attacks based on the local structure properties of networks. Furthermore, we propose an empirical generative model called i Friends to generate networks that follow our observed patterns.

The rendezvous and formation problem is a significant part for the unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) autonomous aerial refueling(AAR) technique. It can be divided into two major phases: the long-range guidance phase and the formation phase. In this paper, an iterative computation guidance law(ICGL) is proposed to compute a series of state variables to get the solution of a control variable for a UAV conducting rendezvous with a tanker in AAR. The proposed method can make the control variable converge to zero when the tanker and the UAV receiver come to a formation flight eventually. For the long-range guidance phase, the ICGL divides it into two sub-phases: the correction sub-phase and the guidance sub-phase. The two sub-phases share the same iterative process. As for the formation phase, a velocity coordinate system is created by which control accelerations are designed to make the speed of the UAV consistent with that of the *** simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ICGL is effective and robust against wind disturbance.

Most computational visual attention models are designed with inspirations from mammalian visual ***, electrophysiological and behavioral evidences indicate that avian species are animals with high visual capability that can process complex information accurately in real time. Therefore,the visual system of the avian species, especially the nuclei related to the visual attention mechanism, are investigated in this paper. Afterwards, a hierarchical visual attention model is proposed for saliency detection. The optic tectum neuron responses are computed and the self-information is used to compute primary saliency maps in the first hierarchy. The "winner-takeall" network in the tecto-isthmal projection is simulated and final saliency maps are estimated with the regularized random walks ranking in the second hierarchy. Comparison results verify that the proposed model, which can define the focus of attention accurately, outperforms several state-of-the-art *** study provides insights into the relationship between the visual attention mechanism and the avian visual pathways. The computational visual attention model may reveal the underlying neural mechanism of the nuclei for biological visual attention.

As a classic topic in computer graphics, the semantic part segmentation of 3D data is helpful for3D part-level editing and modeling. Single-views point cloud is the raw format of 3D data. Giving each point a semantic annotation in single-view point cloud, i.e., single-view point cloud semantic part segmentation, is meaningful and challenging.

Object localization in 3D from 2D images is an important computer vision problem that enables modern robotic vision systems to interact properly with the objects present in the real world. Owing to its significance, techniques for recovering the 6-DOF pose and dimensions of objects from images has received increasing attention in recent years [1–3]. However, to the best of our knowledge,the existing approaches all focus on object-level inference instead of analyzing object parts. Most of
Accurate object counts represent essential semantical information in remote sensing imagery, significantly impacting applications such as traffic monitoring and urban planning. Despite the recent advances in text-to-i...

Despite the long history of medical simulations, suffering from the patient-specific heterogeneous heart physiological structure and complex intravascular procedures, it is still challenging for patient-specific percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) surgery simulation. In this paper, we advocate a haptics-equiped interactive prototype system towards PCI surgeons training and patient-specific surgery rehearsing, which can afford trainees the opportunity to approximately experience the entire PCI procedures and customized emergency cases that might occur in common clinical settings. The full simulation covers tissue deformation, catheter and wire simulation, X-ray simulation, haptic feedback, and 3D realistic rendering, which in all give rise to the integrated physical, visual, haptic, and procedural realism. Our system can accommodate various comprehensive operations involved in PCI-related procedures, including feeding wires, releasing stents, injecting contrast medium, simulating X-ray, bleeding, etc. Moreover, our system framework is fully built upon CUDA, and thus can achieve real-time performance even on a common desktop. The high-fidelity, real-time efficiency and stableness of our system show great potentials for its practical applications in clinical training fields.
