In this paper, we describe four important indirect methods which be used to extract the fetal Electrocardiogram (FECG) signal from an ECG recorded on the mother's abdomen. These methods include the following ones: singular value decomposition (SVD) method, independent component analysis (ICA) method, wavelet based methods and adaptive filtering method. The mentioned methods use signal processing techniques for extracting FECG from abdominal electrocardiogram (AECG). We have explained advantages and disadvantages of each method. The methods have also applied on both synthetic and real ECG signals. Efficiencies of the methods compared together based on three important criterions and results are stated and best method based on three criterions is selected.

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.

This paper presents a new feature extraction method for iris recognition. Since two dimensional complex wavelet transform (2D-CWT) does not only keep wavelet transformpsilas properties of multiresolution decomposition analysis and perfect reconstruction, but also adds its new merits: approximate shift invariance, good directional selectivity for 2-D image, and limited redundancy, which are useful for iris feature extraction. So, a set of high frequency 2D-CWT coefficients are selected as features for iris recognition. The phase information of the coefficients is used for feature encoding and Hamming distance is adopted for classification. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can get good recognition rate.

Human key posture extraction from videos will benefit video storage, video retrieval, human action recognition, human behaviour understanding and so on. This paper presents an approach to select key postures from human action sequences using 2D information. There are two steps in the proposed method. Information measurement which is a kind of global feature of a frame is used to roughly find key posture candidates. Then, a body skeleton feature which is a kind of local feature is applied to select final key postures from the candidates obtained in the first step. The experiments show that the proposed method is efficient.

In this work, multi-view ear recognition problems are examined in detail. A new multi-view ear recognition approach based on B-Spline pose manifold construction in discriminative projection space which is formed by null kernel discriminant analysis (NKDA) feature extraction is presented. Many experiments and comparisons are provided to show the effectiveness of our multi-view ear recognition approach.

Palmprint is one of the most unique and stable biometric characteristics. Although 2D palmprint recognition can achieve high accuracy, the 2D palmprint images can be easily counterfeited and much 3D depth information is lost in the imaging process. This paper presents a new approach, 3D palmprint recognition, to exploit the 3D structural information of the palm surface. The structured-light imaging is used to acquire the 3D palmprint data, from which the features of Mean Curvature, Gauss Curvature and Surface Type (ST) are extracted. A fast feature matching and score level fusion strategy are then used to classify the input 3D palmprint data. With the established 3D palmprint database, a series of verification and identification experiments are conducted and the results show that 3D palmprint technique can achieve high recognition rate while having high anti-counterfeiting capability.

A theoretical study for modeling technique of the remote sensing image classification based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle is presented in the paper. According to the MDL principle, modeling problem is an optimization procedure to find the shortest expected code length. Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence is adopted as the system cost function to measure expected codelength, and the codelength will be the model we desired. The advantage of using the MDL principle to build appropriate model is analyzed theoretically, model optimization technique also is described.

A quick 3D needle segmentation algorithm for 3D US data is described in this paper. The algorithm includes the 3D quick randomized Hough transform (3DGHT), which is based on the 3D randomized Hough transform and coarse-fine searching strategy. We tested it with water phantom. The results show that our algorithm works well in 3D US images with angular deviation less than 1 degree and position deviation less than 1 mm, and the computational time of segmentation with 35 MB data is within 1s.

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.

A novel video scrambling algorithm based on generalized Fibonacci numbers is given in this paper. The experiment results show that the algorithm has better robust than the traditional video scrambling algorithm. Based on the property of uniformity of the corresponding Fibonacci transformation, the suggested method has the following advantages: (1) Encoding and decoding are very simple and they can be applied in real-time situations. (2) The algorithm can endure severe attacks such as extreme noise levels, very high loss in its data or data packets. (3) The algorithm is independent on any video format or encode mode.
