We propose a novel superpixel algorithm based on Minimum Spanning Tree (MST), to generate superpixels efficiently while strictly adhere to object boundaries. The MST, which built by gradually removing strong edges of the image graph extracted from the image, is more sensitive to image local structures. Therefore, an efficient hierarchical clustering strategy is basically employed in our algorithm to segment the input image into superpixels based on the tree distance. To gradually merge the image pixels and remove texture noises, a multi-layer scheme with different resolutions of superpixels is proposed. In each layer, the graph is constructed from the lower layer and segmented into superpixels in a linear complexity with the node number in the graph. Because the node number in each layer is exponentially reduced, the computational time of our method mainly concentrates on the first few layers, which is linear with the number of image pixels. The experimental results conducted on the Berkeley Segmentation Dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods both in terms of structure preservation and computational efficiency.

Aiming at localizing tampered image regions, a novel detection method is proposed. Based on the statistical properties of image features, we expose the tampered parts by dividing image into some sub-blocks and computing the noise variance of each ones. Then we choose Laplace fitting based on the maximal likelihood estimation method to decide the boundary between tampered regions and the original. Several examples are shown to demonstrate the proposed method's output. We also demonstrate the efficiency of our method in paper.

This paper first proposes an infinite class of 2k-variable Boolean functions with high nonlinearity and high algebraic degree. Then an infinite class of balanced Boolean functions are proposed by modifying the above Boolean functions. This class of balanced Boolean functions have optimal algebraic degree and high nonlinearity. Both classes have optimal algebraic immunity based on a general combinatorial conjecture.

In this paper, a low-cost dualtone radio interferometric positioning system using a single mobile anchor is proposed to locate multiple targets at the same time. We name it mDRIPS. In mDRIPS, each target continuously transmits a dual-tone signal with its dedicated frequencies, and the mobile anchor receives the signals at different positions along its trajectory, Neither time synchronization between the mobile anchor and the targets nor time synchronization among the targets is required. We take the instability of targets clocks into consideration and develop an ESPRIT-type algorithm to estimate frequencies of each dual-tone signal. Furthermore, the time of arrival (TOA) of each target signal is extracted from the phase estimates of the received dual-tone signals. After measuring several TOAs at different locations along the anchor's trajectory, each target can be located. Since the frequency difference of the two tones of each dualtone signal is designed to be smaller than the channel coherence bandwidth, the same fading effect on these two tones can be eliminated. Moreover, the integer ambiguity problem due to phase wrapping is investigated, and a localization algorithm to deal with a simplified ambiguity problem is proposed. Numerical results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed mDRIPS.

This paper is concerned with the distributed ℓ 2 - ℓ ∞ state estimation for discrete time periodic systems with multiplicative noises. To reflect a more general practical situation, multiplicative noises are considered both in state and measurement. The desired distributed state estimators are designed such that the estimation error system is globally asymptotically stable with a guaranteed ℓ 2 - ℓ ∞ performance index. A sufficient condition, based on a periodical Lyapunov procedure, is obtained to guarantee the stability and the performance of the system. At last, a numerical example is provided to illustrate the applicability and the effectiveness of the proposed results.

The intrinsic factors that drive human mobility have remained unclear for decades. Our observations from both intra-urban and inter-urban trips demonstrate a general law of human mobility. Specifically, the probability that a trip will occur is inversely proportional to the size of population located inside a circle with radius equal to the travel distance centered at the trip origin. A simple parameterless rank-based model is presented; this model can predict human flows with a convincing fidelity. Moreover, existing models can be implemented as special cases of our model, suggesting that our model is stable at more spatial scales. Our model also creates a fundamental bridge between individual mobility and social relationships.

[Objective] To optimize the extraction of total polyphenols from Periploca forrestii Schltr. [Methods]Response surface methodology was applied. A three-level,three-variable Box-Behnken Design was employed to obtain the best possible combination of extraction solvent( ethanol concentration 40%-80%),extraction time( 10 min- 50 min) and ratio of solution to raw material(10∶ 1- 15∶ 1,v/w) for maximum extraction yield oftotal polyphenols. Besides,anti-allergic capacity of P. forrestii polyphenols was evaluated by initiation ratio of hyaluronidase decomposition of sodium hyaluronate. [Results]The results showed that optimized extraction conditions wereethanol concentration57.33%,extraction time 33. 33 min and ratio of solvent to raw material 16. 11∶ 1. Under these conditions,the experimental yield was 6. 03 ± 0.10%,which is well in close agreement with the value( 6. 1%) predicted by RSM model. [Conclusion]Pharmacological test showed that *** polyphenols have excellent anti-allergic activity.
