In terms of the difficulty of vehicle tracking in complex environment of the visual surveillance system, an object tracking algorithm is proposed for the applications in practical visual surveillance systems for intelligent traffic. A block-based Gaussian mixture background modeling method for object detection is presented to reduce the computational complexity of moving vehicle object abstraction. An adaptive tracking algorithm fused with color features and texture features is described to better adapt the traffic scene variation. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively deal with the complex urban traffic conditions and the tracking performance is better than the conventional particle filter method and single feature based non-adaptive object tracking method.

Learning control has been an active topic of research for several decades, and is of theoretical, as well as practical, significance. Current theories and developments in learning control are discussed. Following a brief introduction of the state as well as new progress on learning control, we give a detail review on the models and algorithms of the control policies developed recently which proved to be advantageous over previous approaches through experimental results. The related results and properties are presented. Then, several potentially developmental topics that are valuable to be further investigated are suggested. Finally, the conclusion remark is proposed.

An analytic flying model that can well represent the physical behavior is derived, where the ball's self-rotational velocity changes along with the flying velocity. Based on the least square method, a rebound model that represents the relation between the velocities before and after rebound is established. The initial trajectory is fitted to three second order polynomials of the flying time with the measured positions of the ball. The initial velocities of the ball in the analytic flying model, including the flying velocity and the self-rotational velocity, are computed from the polynomials. The ball's landing position and velocity is predicted with the model. The velocities after rebound are determined with the rebound model. By taking the velocities after rebound as new initial ones, the flying trajectory after rebound is described with the model again. In other words, the ball's trajectory is predicted. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

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.

A recent experimental study [Traulsen et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 107, 2962 (2010)] shows that human strategy updating involves both direct payoff comparison and the cost of switching strategy, which is equivalent to inertia. However, it remains largely unclear how such a predisposed inertia affects 2×2 games in a well-mixed population of finite size. To address this issue, the “inertia bonus” (strategy switching cost) is added to the learner payoff in the Fermi process. We find how inertia quantitatively shapes the stationary distribution and that stochastic stability under inertia exhibits three regimes, with each covering seven regions in the plane spanned by two inertia parameters. We also obtain the extended “1/3” rule with inertia and the speed criterion with inertia; these two findings hold for a population above two. We illustrate the above results in the framework of the Prisoner's Dilemma game. As inertia varies, two intriguing stationary distributions emerge: the probability of coexistence state is maximized, or those of two full states are simultaneously peaked. Our results may provide useful insights into how the inertia of changing status quo acts on the strategy evolution and, in particular, the evolution of cooperation.

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.

Emergy analysis provides a feasible approach to evaluate the status and position of different energy carriers in the universal energy hierarchy. In this paper, an emergy-based method is conducted to measure the resources input of Chinese industry from 1997 to 2006. Resources inflows including fossil fuels, mineral resources, agricultural products, and other imported materials are accounted, based on which related indicators including resources intensity, industrial output, and environmental emissions are investigated. Results show a steady upward trend for the total resources input of Chinese industry during the past decade. The total resources input amounted to 1.53×1025 sej in 2006, of which non-renewable one accounted for 70.65% owing to the dominating input of fossil fuels and nonmetal minerals. Resources intensity measured by the ratio of resources input to industrial value added declined gradually during 1997–2002, but the rapid expansion of resource–intensive sub–sectors resulted in a reverse trend since 2003. The current resources use pattern of Chinese industry is characterized by increasing input of non-renewable resources, excessive expansion of resource–intensive production, and tremendous challenge from environmental pressure.

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.
