In this paper,volume models are obtained from closed surface models by an accurate voxelization method which can handle the hidden cavities. This kind of 3D binary images is then converted to gray-level images by a fast Euclidean distance transform (EDT).Moment invariants (MIs) which are invariant shape descriptors under similarity transformations,are then computed based on the gray images. Applications in shape analysis area such as principal axis determination,skeleton and medial axis extraction,and shape retrieval can be carried out base on EDT and MIs.

A panoramic video is an image-based rendering (IBR) technique which provides users with a large field of view (e.g. 360 degree) on surrounding dynamic scenes. It includes not only the translational motions but also the non-translational motions, such as zooming, rotation and uneven stretching etc. This paper presents a motion compensated prediction scheme based on adaptive selection of motion models to predict the complex changes between successive frames efficiently in panoramic video coding. By performing the initial motion estimation phrase and the refined motion estimation phrase in the proposed scheme, simulated results show that the coding performance of the proposed scheme is much higher than the traditional motion compensated prediction scheme in panoramic video coding.

SVM (support vector machine) enables effective image classification for semantic image retrieval. However, how to train accurate image classifiers in high-dimensional feature space suffers from the problem of choosing proper training samples. To solve this problem, a novel approach named CGSVM (clustering guided SVM) is presented, which utilizes clustering result to select the most informative image samples to be labeled, and optimize the penalty coefficient. Experimental results show that our algorithm achieves higher search accuracy than regular SVM for semantic image retrieval.

In this paper, we introduce the sub-Gaussian random projection into compressed sensing (CS) theory and present two new kinds of CS measurement matrices: sparse projection matrix and very sparse projection matrix. By the tail bounds for sub-Gaussian random projection, we present the proof of how these new matrices satisfying the necessary condition for CS measurement matrix. Further, we expatiate that owe to their sparsity, new matrices greatly simplify the projection operation during images reconstruction, which greatly improves the speed of reconstruction. The results of simulated and real experiments show that with a certain number of measurements, new matrices both achieve good measurement effect and can acquire exact reconstruction by them. Last, the comparison of reconstruction results respectively adopting new matrices and Gaussian measurement matrix is conducted.

A novel Pareto-based multi-objective fully-informed particle swarm algorithm (FIPS) is proposed to solve flexible job-shop problems in this paper. Firstly, the population is ranked based on Pareto optimal concept. And the neighborhood topology used in FIPS is based on the Pareto rank. Secondly, the crowding distance of individuals is computed in the same Pareto level for the secondary rank. Thirdly, addressing the problem of trapping into the local optimal, the mutation operators based on the coding mechanism are introduced into our algorithm. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by applying it to several benchmark instances and comparing the experimental results.

This paper proposed a motion vector error function to segment the objects in video sequence. The key point of the segmentation technique is how to set the appropriate threshold to distinguish the global motion region from the local motion region precisely. This paper also proposed a hierarchical threshold technique based on global motion estimation to solve this problem. Experimental results show that the proposed techniques are robust techniques which refine the set of global motion pixels hierarchically and segment the video objects effectively.

The purpose of this study is to
present an application of a novel enhancement technique for enhancing medical images generated from X-rays. The method presented in this study is based on a nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) model, Kramer's PDE model. The usefulness of this method is investigated by experimental results. We apply this method to a medical X-ray image. For comparison, the X-ray image is also processed using classic Perona-Malik PDE model and Catte PDE model. Although the Perona-Malik model and Catte PDE model could also enhance the image, the quality of the enhanced images is considerably inferior compared with the enhanced image using Kramer's PDE model. The study suggests that the Kramer's PDE model is capable of enhancing medical X-ray images, which will make the X-ray images more reliable.

Concept hierarchies are important in many generalized data mining applications, such as multiple-level fuzzy association rule mining. Usually concept hierarchies are given by domain experts. However, it is extremely difficult and time-consuming for human experts to discover concepts and construct concept hierarchies from the domain. In literature, several representations of concept hierarchy are possible, for example tree, lattice, table, linked list, arbitrary graph etc. In this paper, we apply quotient space model to representing concept hierarchies. In contrast to others, the representation model is much more extensible and compatible. The results indicate that this technique can improve the efficiency of performing the generalization and specialization operation in concept hierarchies.
