Interactive image segmentation which needs the user to give certain hard constraints has shown promising performance for object segmentation. In this paper, we consider characters in text image as a special kind of object, and propose an adaptive graph cut based text binarization method to segment text from background. The main contributions of the paper lie in: 1) in order to make the binarization local adaptive with uneven background, the text region image is firstly roughly split into several sub-images on which graph cut is applied, and 2) considering the unique characteristics of the text, we propose to automatically classify some pixels as text or background with high confidence, severed as hard constraints seeds for graph cut to extract text from background by spreading the seeds into the whole sub-image. The experimental results show that our approach could get better performance in both character extraction accuracy and recognition accuracy.

This paper proposes three training strategies based on impedance control, including passive training, damping-active training and spring-active training, for a 3- DOF lower limb rehabilitation robot designed for patients with paraplegia or hemiplegia. controllers with similar structure are developed for these training strategies, consisting of dual closed loops, the outer impedance control loop and the inner position/ velocity control loop, known as position-based impedance control method. Simulation results verify that position-based impedance control approach is feasible to accomplish the training strategies.

Computer vision and video analytics become increasingly important for intelligent transport systems (ITSs), and violation detection is one of the key points in ITSs. It is widely recognized that image based systems are flexible and versatile for advanced traffic monitoring and enforcement applications. In the proposed method, we first locate the tails from the images captured by a stationary camera, and then SURF(Speeded Up Robust Features) feature points are extracted from these tail images. A matching based rough detection stage is taken place to identify the high risk tails which are seen as violations and the low risk tails which are omitted as regular vehicles. Finally, color and shape information are taken advantages of to accomplish violation detection in the undetermined vehicles in the previous stage. Experiments are conducted using real live video sequences captured from an urban cross road. Results show that our method can potentially have a good performance.

The micro-blogs, as a new social media, possesses big differences with other social media on the aspect of information updating frequency, organization structure, user connection and etc, which have astonishing power of convergence and penetration. Based on this, it is proposed in this paper that Micro-Blog Public Opinion Index (MBPOI), which consists of five sub-indexes QI, II, RI, PI and CI (Quantity Index, Intensity Index, Relation Index, Polarity Index, Confidence Index) multi-dimensionally, is used to measure and evaluate the public topics and issues discussed in the micro-blogs. In the meanwhile, taking “ABB automatic world 2011” activity as example, the MBPOI prototype system is verified; it has been shown from the results that the MBPOI, which uses five sub-indexes method, owns much better effect by quantifying the topics/issues' influence in multi-dimensions and multi-levels, and provides effective micro-blogs analysis reports for monitoring and tracking the “ABB automatic world 2011” activity.

In order to meet the requirements of stable person detection and tracking techniques in dynamic visual system, we propose a simplified minimum enclosing ball based fast incremental support vector machine (SVM) algorithm for person detection and tracking. Based on the simplified minimum enclosing ball (MEB) method, we propose a simplified and fast incremental algorithm to compute the MEB. By utilizing the equivalence between MEB and the dual problem in SVM, we achieve the online and incremental adjustment of the SVM classifier coefficients. The proposed method do not need to solve the quadratic programming problem. It is fast for training. Moreover, it can achieve the online update of classifiers for object tracking with small sample size. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed incremental SVM is validated by detection experiments on dynamic pedestrians tracking system.

Click fraud (CF) has become a serious problem in the online advertising, making the anti-CF issue quite important. In this paper, we analyze the effects of the price determination model on the CF situations in online advertising. Our theoretical results show that the flat-rate model can induce more click frauds than the real-time-bidding model. Our finding is validated with a real advertising dataset.
