This paper introduced a novel high performance algorithm and VLSI architectures for achieving bit plane coding (BPC) in word level sequential and parallel mode. The proposed BPC algorithm adopts the techniques of coding pass prediction and parallel & pipeline to reduce the number of accessing memory and to increase the ability of concurrently processing of the system, where all the coefficient bits of a code block could be coded by only one scan. A new parallel bit plane architecture (PA) was proposed to achieve word-level sequential coding. Moreover, an efficient high-speed architecture (HA) was presented to achieve multi-word parallel coding. Compared to the state of the art, the proposed PA could reduce the hardware cost more efficiently, though the throughput retains one coefficient coded per clock. While the proposed HA could perform coding for 4 coefficients belonging to a stripe column at one intra-clock cycle, so that coding for an NxN code-block could be completed in approximate N2/4 intra-clock cycles. Theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed designs have high throughput rate with good performance in terms of speedup to cost, which can be good alternatives for low power applications.

This paper designs a new kind of lifting 9-7-tap wavelet filter with binary characteristics and presents a high speed VLSI structure for the wavelet filter. The coefficients of the lifting filters are binary numbers, so it can simplify the VLSI design. The test results for compression performances have shown that the new filter is good almost as CDF97 under PSNR. when the data has a finite accuracy, it may have a better performance than CDF97. The filter can be implemented with using adders and shifters. Therefore the hardware resources can be saved and the critical path can be shortened. According to using the folding technology and the retiming technology, the architecture of the design can be transformed into a kind of embedded folding architecture which leads to the parallel computation of addition operations. So the critical path can be shortened to nearly the time of a addition operation and the utilization of the hardware resources also has a good performance. Simulation results show that the max working frequency could almost reach 250 MHz which is the four times by the CDF97;The occupied logic cell is reduced by 66.7 compared with the CDF97+4 stages pipeline. So it is especially suitable for the high speed VLSI design.

An efficient image denoising algorithm is introduced. Firstly, image pixels are classified into noisy pixels and noise-free pixels by four directional operators. Then an adaptive weighted median filter is designed to remove and restore the detected noisy pixels and keep the noise-free ones unchanged. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm preserves image details well while removing impulsive noise efficiently, and its filtering performance is significantly superior to the classical median filter and some other typical and recently developed improved median filters.

Combining bottom-up and top-down attention influences, a novel region extraction model which based on object-accumulated visual attention mechanism is proposed in this paper. Compared with early research, the new approach brings in prior information at the proper time, updates scan path dynamically, needs less computational resources and reduces the probability to direct the attention to a less-meaning area. The application to search an airport target in remote sensing image was provided, through which the novel mechanism that how visual attention chose the area was described. Compared with another two region extraction models, experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the approach proposed in this paper.

A novel way achieving geometrical reconstruction of actual human face through projecting two types of texture on face in short time is advanced. The first type texture is stripe which is used to establish parallax grid between images. Taking into account of its results, the second type projecting texture is used to match by virtue of its abundant traits. After realizing geometrical reconstruction, the paper provides a general way about achieving actual texture reconstruction by the outer spherical surface surrounding object. In order to uniform color, it deals with parts of images in conjunct region and makes the color change meeting a certain function on condition of keeping their original information mostly. Results show this way can improve reconstruction quality and decrease complicacy of algorithm.

To overcome the main drawbacks of global minimal for active contour models (L. D. Cohen and Ron Kimmel) that the contour is only extracted partially for low SNR images, Method of boundary extraction based on Schrödinger Equation is proposed. Our Method is based on computing the numerical solutions of initial value problem for second order nonlinear Schrödinger equation by using discrete Fourier Transformation. Schrödinger transformation of image is first given. We compute the probability P(b,a) that a particle moves from a point a to another point b according to I-Type Schrödinger transformation of image and obtain boundary of object by using quantum contour model.

The imaging laser radar was an ideal imaging sensor to get the high precision 3D terrain for Terrain aided navigation (TAN). For the application, decreasing the mismatching rate was very important. In this paper, the measurement model of imaging laser radar was introduced and a novel 3D terrain matching algorithm with low mismatching rate was presented. According to the theory of function orthogonal decomposition, a terrain orthogonal decomposition feature vector (TODFV), composed of the orthogonal decomposition coefficients of the digital elevation map (DEM), was employed to represent the features of the terrain. Then TODFV was used to generate an interim matching position vector (IMPV). The IMPV were utilized to do real-time confidence analysis to improve the matching confidence, and were fused to give the final matching at the last. The algorithm could effectively decrease the mismatching rate of terrain matching algorithm, and improved the reliability of TAN. Experiments showed that the algorithm was effective and robust.
