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.

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.

To infrared images, the contrast of target and background is low, dim small targets have no concrete shapes and their textures cannot be reliable predicted. The paper puts forward a novel algorithm to fuse mid-wave and long-wave infrared images and detect targets. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by wavelet transformation. In usual, targets in infrared images are man-made, and their fractal dimension is different comparing with natural background. In wavelet transformation domain high-frequency part, we calculate local fractal dimension and set up fusion rule to merge corresponding sub-images of two matching source images. In low-frequency, we extract local maximum gray level to fuse them. Then reconstruct image by wavelet inverse transformation and obtain fused result image. In fusion results, the contrast between targets and background has obvious changes. And targets can be detected using contrast threshold. The experimental results show that the method proposed in this paper using wavelet transformation fractal dimension to fuse dual band infrared images, and then detect targets is better than using mid-wave or long -wave infrared images detect targets alone.

On visual tracking, a particle filter algorithm was presented to track a moving target under clutter environment which can deal with rotation, scale changes, variations in the light source and partial occlusions. So it can track the target with robustness. The proposed method was based on particle filter, integrated with color histogram in the measurement model, and the system model was second order autoregressive process. The algorithm took into account the latest observations and the tracked target can be rigid or non-rigid. Also the method can run in real-time. The experimental results confirm that the method is effective even when the monocular camera is moving and the target object is partially occluded in a clutter background.

A transient, six-cylinder diesel engine model for cold test has been developed for analyzing the engine fault through the engine torque curve. The model is based on physically working cycle, thermodynamic theory and dynamics mechanism. The simulation of this model, implemented on Matlab/Simulink, can not only achieve engine faults detection before hot test, but also indicate different causes of engine faults, such as initial phase change, intake valve closing-time delay, and so on. It is shown that the diesel engine model for cold test proves its significance to improving cold test technology.

To control the mobile robot with the surrounding information is the essential method to realize the intelligence and automatic moving. The vision information is the most important way to perceive the environment for the mobile robot. This paper presents an essential camera calibration technique for mobile robot, which is based on Pioneer II experiment platform. The technique includes transformation of coordinates system for vision system, the model and principle of image formation, camera distortion calibration. Because of non-linear distortion of camera, algorithm with optimizing operators is presented to improve calibration precision. We verify the validity and feasibility of the algorithm through experiment.

Multi-robot tracking of mobile target is studied in the paper, which is based on the communication and sensors. For an independent tracking robot, the processes are separated into three layers and four tasks, and allocated to different robots for distinct roles in tracking, which is named the Distributed Decision control System (DDCS). After that, two tracking models, centralized and distributed models, are designed for multi-robot tracking. Furthermore, a Proportional Navigation Guidance Law (PNGL) and l-ϕ formation control algorithm are mentioned to realize the robot motion control. At last the simulation has shown the feasibility and validity of both models.
