This paper designs a new kind of lifting 9-7-tap wavelet filter with binary characteristics and presents a high speed VLSI structure for the wavelet filter. The coefficients of the lifting filters are binary numbers, so it can simplify the VLSI design. The test results for compression performances have shown that the new filter is good almost as CDF97 under PSNR. when the data has a finite accuracy, it may have a better performance than CDF97. The filter can be implemented with using adders and shifters. Therefore the hardware resources can be saved and the critical path can be shortened. According to using the folding technology and the retiming technology, the architecture of the design can be transformed into a kind of embedded folding architecture which leads to the parallel computation of addition operations. So the critical path can be shortened to nearly the time of a addition operation and the utilization of the hardware resources also has a good performance. Simulation results show that the max working frequency could almost reach 250 MHz which is the four times by the CDF97;The occupied logic cell is reduced by 66.7 compared with the CDF97+4 stages pipeline. So it is especially suitable for the high speed VLSI design.

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 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.

Short-term forecasting of travel time is essential for the success of intelligent transportation system. In this paper, we review the state-of-art of short-term traffic forecasting models and outline their basic ideas, related works, advantages and disadvantages of each model. An improved adaptive exponential smoothing (IAES) model is also proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the previous adaptive exponential smoothing model. Then, comparing experiments are carried out under normal traffic condition and abnormal traffic condition to evaluate the performance of four main branches of forecasting models on direct travel time data obtained by license plate matching (LPM). The results of experiments show each model seems to have its own strength and weakness. The forecasting performance of IASE is superior to other models in shorter forecasting horizon (one and two step forecasting) and the IASE is capable of dealing with all kind of traffic conditions.

An efficient image denoising algorithm is introduced. Firstly, image pixels are classified into noisy pixels and noise-free pixels by four directional operators. Then an adaptive weighted median filter is designed to remove and restore the detected noisy pixels and keep the noise-free ones unchanged. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm preserves image details well while removing impulsive noise efficiently, and its filtering performance is significantly superior to the classical median filter and some other typical and recently developed improved median filters.

A novel way achieving geometrical reconstruction of actual human face through projecting two types of texture on face in short time is advanced. The first type texture is stripe which is used to establish parallax grid between images. Taking into account of its results, the second type projecting texture is used to match by virtue of its abundant traits. After realizing geometrical reconstruction, the paper provides a general way about achieving actual texture reconstruction by the outer spherical surface surrounding object. In order to uniform color, it deals with parts of images in conjunct region and makes the color change meeting a certain function on condition of keeping their original information mostly. Results show this way can improve reconstruction quality and decrease complicacy of algorithm.

A novel 3D terrain matching algorithm is presented in this paper. A terrain feature vector map (FVM), composed of local mean and local gradient, is employed to represent the terrain elevation map (TEM). Compared with traditional matching algorithm using the magnitude of gradient to match, the new algorithm uses each component of the gradient vector to match individually, and it is able to generate two interim matching positions. Different from traditional matching algorithms which usually estimate an optimum matching position under some criterions at the end, the new algorithm fused the two interim matching positions to generate a final matching position or refuse to position in order to increase the matching confidence, which is very important because it is hardly acceptable to employ a mismatched position to correct the error of Inertial Navigation System (INS). Due to the stability of terrain and the high-precision of lidar ranging, the mean of a sensed terrain elevation map (STEM) sized terrain is quite stable. So it is bestowed to accelerate the matching process and to reduce mismatches at different terrain heights. Compared with other mismatch-eliminated methods based on neural network (NN) or support vector machine (SVM), the new method do not need training samples and is more stable and robust. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is effective and robust.

In this paper, a face recognition method using local qualitative representations is proposed to solve the problem of face recognition in varying lighting. Based on the observation that the ordinal relationship between the average brightness of image regions pair is invariant under lighting changes, Local Binary Mapping is defined as an illumination invariant for face recognition based on Local Binary pattern descriptor, which extracts the local variance features of an image. For the 'symbol' feature vector, hamming distance is used as similarity measurement. It has been proved that the proposed method can provide the accuracy of 100 percent for subset 2, 3, 4 and 98.89 percent for subset 5 of the Yale facial database B when all images in subset 1 are used as gallery.

In this paper, a pixel-level image fusion algorithm based on Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) has been proposed. Compared with Contourlet Transform, NSCT is redundant, shift-invariant and more suitable for image fusion. Each image from different sensors could be decomposed into a low frequency image and a series of high frequency images of different directions by multi-sacle NSCT. For low and high frequency images, they are fused based on local-contrast enhancement and definition respectively. Finally, fused image is reconstructed from low and high frequency fused images. Experiment demonstrates that NSCT could preserve edge significantly and the fusion rule based on region segmentation performances well in local-contrast enhancement.
