In this paper, a novel method for image denoising is proposed which adopts multiscale geometry tool. Firstly the image is decomposed by discrete shearlet transform. The shearlet coefficients of each direction approach the generalized Gaussian distribution. We use the principal component analysis (PCA) for every similarity window of shearlet coefficients. Then we use Generalized Gaussian model of non-local means method to handle the shearlet coefficients. Finally, we reconstruct image with the new shearlet coefficients to obtain the result. Numerical results show that our algorithm competes favorably with nonlocal means algorithms in the case of high noise.

This paper presents a wavelet-based multiscale products scheme for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image despeckling. A compactly supported quadratic spline function that approximates the first derivative of Gaussian is employed in the scheme to decompose log-transformed SAR images. The multiplied results of the decomposed coefficients of adjacent scales consist of multiscale products. The multiscale products can sharp the important structures while weakening noise. A spatially selective neighborhood technique by iteratively selecting neighborhood system in the multiscale products is introduced in searching the important structure information. The influence of the spatial information is imposed on the multiscale products, instead of on the wavelet coefficients, which improves the capability of identifying important features. Experiments show that the proposed scheme is better in SAR image despeckling and preserving edges and detail information than other waveletbased multiscale products methods.

In this paper, we focus on the distribution of eigenvalues, and based on Gaussian assumption, then we do an analysis of the eigenvalues potential for POL-SAR classification. Generally, we use Gaussian mixture model to describe the distribution of the eigenvalue and Bayesian classifier to achieve the POL-SAR pixel classification. The method is tested with the NASA/JPL AIRSAR data.

This paper proposes a improved non-local means (NLM) filter for image denoising. Due to the drawback that the similarity is computed based on the noisy image, the traditional NLM method easily generates the artifacts in case of high-level noise. The proposed method first preprocesses the noisy image by Gaussian filter. Then, a moving window at each pixel of the noisy image is chosen as the search window, and meanwhile, a improved calculation method of spatial distance based on the preprocessed image is used for computing the similarity. Finally, combining the improved distance with search window based on the noisy image, the intensity of each pixel is restored as the traditional NLM method. The standard images are used to evaluate restoration performance of the proposed method. Additionally, the application on medical image denoising also demonstrates that our method is practical.

A low-cost device using acoustic method for measuring open-end tube length is developed. The proposed device is aimed to get the length of the tubes which are piled up together, and only one end of which is available in the warehouse or dumping areas. The device contains the emitting and receiving probes to echo the sound pulse and receive the reflection sound wave, and has been developed with discrete component circuits whose key part is the logical control circuit based on ARM. Experiments are performed in the open tubes with the lengths between 0.85 m to 6 m. The measurement error is below 0.5 cm. For the tubes blocked by the cement or earth, the device can detect the location of obstruction automatically. Based on the acoustic method, experiments are also conducted in the blocked tubes based on Matlab software, and the analysis of the reflection wave is given.

Recognizing the user motion intention plays an important role in the study of power-assist robots. An intention-guided control strategy is proposed for the upper-limb power-assist exoskeleton. A force sensor system comprised of force sensing resistors (FSRs) is designed to online estimate the motion intention of user upper limb. A new concept called “intentional reaching direction (IRD)” is proposed to quantitatively describe this intention. Both the state model and the observation model of IRD are obtained by enumerating the upper limb behavior modes and analyzing the relationship between the measured force signals and the motion intention. Based on these two models, the IRD can be online inferred by applying filtering technology. Guided by the estimated IRD, an admittance control strategy is assumed to control the motions of three DC motors in the joints of the robotic arm. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches is finally confirmed by the experiments on a 3-DOF robotic exoskeleton.

With the wide use of power conversion devices, harmonic currents are being injected into the power grid. Shunt Active Power Filters (SAPF) is a power electronic device to compensate the harmonic currents caused by nonlinear loads. As the foundation of the harmonics recognition and compensation, harmonic extraction techniques are becoming more and more important. This paper proposes a new harmonic extraction method based on the Echo State Networks (ESN). ESN is a new type of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), which has much faster training speed than other types of RNN. To evaluate the dynamic system modeling capability of the ESN, the ESN with different dynamic reservoir size are discussed. The performance of the ESN based harmonic extraction method is compared with traditional methods and method based on multilayer perceptron networks (MLP). The ESN algorithm is trained and tested in MATLAB.

In this paper, a modified method for landslide prediction is presented. This method is based on the back propagation neural network(BPNN), and we use the combination of genetic algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm to optimize the weights and biases of the network. The improved BPNN modeling can work out the complex nonlinear relation by learning model and using the present data. This paper demonstrates that the revised BPNN modeling can be used to predict and calculate landslide deformation, quicken the learning speed of network and improve the predicting precision. Applying this thinking and method into research of some landslide in the Three Gorges reservoir, the validity and practical value of this model can be demonstrated. And it also shows that the dynamic prediction of landslide deformation is very crucial.
