Regularization is a solution to solve the problem of unstable estimation of covariance matrix with a small sample set in Gaussian classifier. And multi-regularization parameters estimation is more difficult than single parameter estimation. In this paper, KLIM-L covariance matrix estimation is derived theoretically based on MDL (minimum description length) principle for the small sample problem with high dimension. KLIM-L is a generalization of KLIM (Kullback-Leibler information measure) which considers the local difference in each dimension. Under the framework of MDL principle, multi-regularization parameters are selected by the criterion of minimization the KL divergence and estimated simply and directly by point estimation which is approximated by two-order Taylor expansion. It costs less computation time to estimate the multi-regularization parameters in KLIM-L than in RDA (regularized discriminant analysis) and in LOOC (leave-one-out covariance matrix estimate) where cross validation technique is adopted. And higher classification accuracy is achieved by the proposed KLIM-L estimator in experiment.

To manage the increasing volume of data per time unit, achievements in information processing and artificial intelligence were made. But still the complex processes of human perception and scenario recognition are not fully understood and still far from implementation in technical applications. The contribution of this article to the field of cognitive automation is the concept of prediction for perceptual- and scenario-recognition frameworks. It is a model where prediction originates from neuro-psychoanalytical theories. Inspired by experience-based planning, which is used by the psychoanalytical decision unit, the prediction of possible outcomes from scenarios can be used for proactive acting. It results in a higher detection rate and a faster performance for recognition-units. This first implementation shows the possibilities of the concept and gives an outlook of the performance as soon as the system is fully integrated in the decision-unit.

The objective of semantic segmentation in microscopic images is to extract the cellular, nuclear or tissue components. This problem is challenging due to the large variations of these components features (size, shape, orientation or texture). In this paper we improve the technique presented in [17] used to identify the epithelial nuclei (crypt) against interstitial nuclei in microscopic images taken from colon tissues. In the proposed enhanced approach, the crypt inner boundary is detected using the closing morphological pyramid instead of morphological hierarchy. The outer crypt border is determined by the epithelial nuclei, overlapped by the maximal isoline of the inner boundary. The use of sampling in building the pyramid offers computational efficiency, reduces the amount of used memory, increase the robustness and preserve the quality results. An analysis of the two approaches is performed considering the number of pixels processed to create each level. Also the relation between the levels of the hierarchical structures is established.

In this paper, two novel soft subspace clustering algorithms, namely fuzzy weighting subspace clustering with competitive agglomeration (FWSCA) and entropy weighting subspace clustering with competitive agglomeration (EWSCA), are proposed to overcome the problems of the unknown number of clusters and the initialization of prototypes for soft subspace clustering. The main advantage of FWSCA and EWSCA lies in the fact that they effectively integrate the merits of soft subspace clustering and the good properties of fuzzy clustering with competitive agglomeration. This makes it possible to obtain the appropriate number of clusters during the clustering progress. Moreover, FWSCA and EWSCA algorithms can converge regardless of the initial number of clusters and initialization. Substantial experimental results on both synthetic and real data sets demonstrate the effectiveness of FWSCA and EWSCA in addressing the two problems.

Coherence-enhancing diffusion (CED), based on analysis of oriented structures, has been extensively used in imageprocessing. This diffusion filtering can keep some junctions and close broken linear structures, but it also destroys crease points and deforms nonlinear structures. In this paper, we proposed an improved algorithm for CED based on analysis of structure tensor and Hessian matrix. This approach can not only denoise and enhance linear structures such as edges, but also preserve nonlinear structures such as creases. Experiments with fingerprint image show that the improved CED outperforms classical CED.

Deblurring camera-based document image is an important task in digital document processing, since it can improve both the accuracy of optical character recognition systems and the visual quality of document images. Traditional deblurring algorithms have been proposed to work for natural-scene images. However the natural-scene images are not consistent with document images. In this paper, the distinct characteristics of document images are investigated. We propose a content-aware prior for document image deblurring. It is based on document image foreground segmentation. Besides, an upper-bound constraint combined with total variation based method is proposed to suppress the rings in the deblurred image. Comparing with the traditional general purpose deblurring methods, the proposed deblurring algorithm can produce more pleasing results on document images. Encouraging experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.

In order to get the change detection *** unsupervised change detection algorithm for multi-temporal satellite image based on NSCT (non-subsampling contourlet transform) and k-means clustering is proposed in this paper. For each pixel in the log-ratio image, multi-scale and multi-direction feature vector is extracted by NSCT and the reconstruction of the log-ratio image is obtained. The threshold is produced by using the k-means clustering algorithm and can distinguish between the unchanged and the change region. Finally, the change detection map is achieved. Some satellite images are used to verify the proposed method and the results shows that it has a higher stability and accuracy against Gaussian and speckle noise than traditional algorithms.

A new method for image denoising based on the free distributed hypothesis test threshold (FDR) and the non-sub-sampled contourlet transform(NSCT) is proposed in this paper. This method firstly acquires the free distributed false discovery rate hypotheses test in statistics to set the threshold in the NSCT domain, and then removes the noise through soft threshold function, which doesn’t depend on the length of signal. The experimental results show that the proposed method can more effectively reduce Gaussian noise and improve the peak value signal-to-noise ratio in the remote sensing image; Meanwhile, this method utilizes the shift invariant of NSCT transform to inhibit the pseudo Gibbs distortion effect, and integrally preserves the texture and edge etc.. details’ information of the image, thus obviously ameliorate the visual effect of the image.
