Two open problems remain unsolved in the content based video retrieval area. Firstly, how to find useful information and express it by different features. Secondly, how to fuse the heterogeneous information together to boost the retrieval performance beyond any single component. The paper presents two kinds of timing information and their use in concept detection in news video, and a novel non-linear information fusion method to combine timing cues with other information from different sources. Experiments on the TRECVID 2004 dataset show that timing cues can boost performance when combined with other information.

This paper proposes a new validation index for fuzzy clustering in order to eliminate the monotonically decreasing tendency as the number of clusters approaches to the number of data points and avoid the numerical instability of validation index when fuzzy weighting exponent increases. Limit analyses of Xie-Beni index, Kwon index and the proposed index are also considered for the convenience of contrast. Lastly, two numerical examples are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed validation index.

Due to the complexity and non-regularity of tree shapes, traditional digital photogrammetry using stereo matching method is difficult to obtain the accurate tree height, This fact therefore limits the application of the aerial digital photogrammetry technology in the power line survey. This paper presents a method of tree height extraction from large viewing aerial image using the knowledge of segmented tree crown. This method is based on a rough digital surface model (DSM) of tree crowns and the exterior orientation of the image. The basic steps of this method is that the DSM is first used to find the region of interest in the image based on the exterior orientation, and then the edges of the distinct trees or branches are extracted using image segmentation technology. An algorithm that uses both the rough DSM height information and exterior orientation data to calculate the accurate heights of the segmented trees or branches is presented. The algorithm assumes that most of the trees are upright, and the projection in the large viewing angle images of the crown and branches can therefore be used to calculate their heights relative to the averaged DSM height. Hence, the accurate height of the trees around the rough DSM can be refined. Some experimental results are given with the image captured from multi-angular imaging system mounted on a helicopter in which a Position and Orientation system (POS) is onboard to record the exterior element of the cameras. The experimental results demonstrated that this algorithm can largely improve the accuracy of tree height extraction. The application in power line monitoring system is promising.

Two improvements are introduced into vicinal-risk-minimization based support vector (SV) algorithm. Since the misclassified samples must be support vectors, a scheme for pruning hard-to-learn samples from the training set based on support vectors is presented. The parameter's determination of Gaussian vicinal function is proposed to be modified, based on the maximum likelihood criterion. Preliminary experimental results show that the pruning scheme and improvement of the parameter's determination of vicinal function much improved vicinal SV algorithm's generality, and can outperform support vector machine (SVM) by about 0.5% in test accuracy.

Recursive least-squares temporal difference algorithm (RLS-TD) is deduced, which can use data more efficiently with fast convergence and less computational burden. Reinforcement learning based on recursive least-squares methods is applied to ship steering control, as provides an efficient way for the improvement of ship steering control performance. It removes the defect that the conventional intelligent algorithm learning must be provided with some sample data. The parameters of controller are on-line learned and adjusted. Simulation results show that the ship course can be properly controlled in case of the disturbances of wave, wind, current. It is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm is a promising alternative to conventional autopilots.

The accuracy of segmenting Chinese character, especially connected Chinese characters, is essential for the performance of a Chinese character recognition system. In this paper, a new approach for segmenting connected Chinese characters based on genetic algorithm is proposed. The best segmentation path is evolved by genetic algorithm from a fixed area located in the middle of character image which is defined as segmentation path zone (SPZ). The initial population is composed of each point line in SPZ. The individual coding, fitness function, crossover operator and mutation operator are also defined for this task. Experimental results on a dataset extracted from the four vaults show that our approach can get an average accuracy of 88.9% on test set and can handle some complex types of connected Chinese characters without special heuristic rules.

An approach to detection of phishing Web pages based on visual similarity is proposed, which can be utilized as a part of an enterprise solution to antiphishing. A legitimate Web page owner can use this approach to search the Web for suspicious Web pages which are visually similar to the true Web page. The approach first decomposes the Web pages into salient (visually distinguishable) block regions. The visual similarity between two Web pages is then evaluated in three metrics: block level similarity, layout similarity, and overall style similarity. A Web page is reported as a phishing suspect if any of them (with regards to the true one) is higher than its corresponding preset threshold. Preliminary experiments show that the approach can successfully detect those phishing Web pages with few false alarms at a speed adequate for online application.

We have seen a surge of interest in spectral-based methods and kernel-based methods for machine learning and data mining. Despite the significant research, these methods remain only loosely related. In this paper, we give theoretically an explicit relation between spectral clustering and weighted kernel principal component analysis (WKPCA). We show that spectral clustering is not only a method for data clustering, but also for feature extraction. We are then able to reinterpret the spectral clustering algorithm in terms of WKPCA and propose our spectral feature analysis (SFA) method. The spectral features extracted by SFA can capture the distinguishing information of data from different classes effectively. Finally some experimental results are presented to show the effectiveness of our method.
