An effective dual-channel noise reduction algorithm is proposed based on sparse representations. The algorithm is composed of the following steps. Firstly, overlapping patches sampled from two channels together instead of each channel one by one are trained to be a dictionary via K-SVD. Secondly, OMP(Orthogonal-Matching-Pursuit) reconstruction algorithm is applied to obtain the sparse coefficients of patches using the dictionary. Thirdly, the denoising speech can be obtained by the updated coefficients. Lastly, the above three steps are iterated to get clearer speech until some conditions are reached. Experimental results show that this algorithm performs better than that with single channel.

Architectural elements are the components and details of buildings. Their unique set, combination, design, construction technique form the architectural style of buildings. Building facade classification by architectural styles is viewed as a task of classifying separate architectural structural elements. In the scope of building facade architectural style classification the current paper targets the problem of classification of Gothic and Baroque architectural elements called tracery, pediment and balustrade. Since certain gradient directions dominate on the shape of each architectural element, discrimination between dominating gradients means classification of architectural elements and thus architectural styles. We use local features to describe gradient directions. Our approach is based on clustering and learning of local features and yields a high classification rate.

Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new class of video coding techniques with the aim of coding the decentralized video sources. While the Stanford Wyner-Ziv codec is a well-known architecture in DVC literature, one of its main drawbacks is the presence of a feedback channel from the decoder to the encoder. This feedback channel makes the use of the codec impractical in some applications. Since the only application of the feedback channel is in requesting more parity bits from the encoder, it could be omitted if the encoder estimates the required parity bits and sends them at once. In this paper, a new method of bitrate estimation using a neural network trained by a new set of features is proposed. In addition, a Hybrid mode is proposed that reduces computational complexity at the decoder in a conventional Wyner-Ziv codec.

Character information is hard to detect in billet scene images by CCD camera. In this paper, we present a method for detection of billet characters from measurements of recursive segmented image. This recursive segmented method can be used in a wide variety of billet scenes. According to high temperature and complex scene in the rolling line, we use an effective clustering and projection characteristics to determine the terminal condition of recursive segmentation. Then we can label character candidate regions in turn by this effective characteristics, and select the regions we want to achieve. The experiments show that this method makes full use of the characteristics of region and clustering. It can improve the quality of detection, and the detection result meets the need of practical application.

The license plate location technique is an important imageprocessing step in license plate recognition system. Vehicle license plates are distinguished from backgrounds using features proposed in existing literatures. However, the effect of location is quite affected by feature selection. In this paper, we propose a method of precise license plate location fusing salient features. The method is mainly divided into three steps. First, candidate license plate regions are detected using improved Harris corner feature with much less time than traditional method. Then, candidates are sifted to only retain license plates based on two salient features named color combination and mean difference which are first proposed in this paper. Finally, the license plates are located precisely according to the projection feature. In experiment, the proposed algorithm was tested with 1942 real images captured in different environment and the license plates are successfully located as 97.6% in average with only 109ms. The experiment results demonstrates the effectiveness and efficient of our algorithm.
