Yuanshuang Li, Qinlan Xie, Gai Yu
In this paper, a system combining mixture of Gaussian background model and CamShift algorithm has been designed to detect and track automatically the moving target. For detecting the moving object, the region which the movement object belongs to is firstly identified and extracted by mixture model of Gaussian, and the centroid of this region is determined as the center of initializing window for tracking. The color feature of object is then extracted in the region, and the CamShift algorithm is used to calculate t he exact location of the target and adjust the size of search window. During the tracking, the information about the objective location is transmitted by serial communication to control the PTZ in order to track the object to ensure it being inside of scene all along. The experiment is performed with high speed spherical camera E588/G3-HP and validates the validity of the system.

Bao-Zeng Guo, Li Niu, Zhi-Ming Liu
Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) plays an important role in the image and video compression, and it has been widely used in JPEG, MPEG, H.26x. DCT being implemented by hardware is crucial to improve the speed of image compression.

Luning Pan, Shuguang Li
License plate extraction is considered to be the most crucial step of Automatic license plate recognition (ALPR) system. In this paper, a region-based license plate hybrid detection method is proposed to solve practical problems under complex background in which existing large quantity of disturbing information. In this method, coarse license plate location is carried out firstly to get the head part of a vehicle.

The remarkable speed-up it brings makes Mean Shift segmentation more suitable for this application. Feature extraction and classification is used to accurately separate license plate from other candidate regions. At last, tilted license plate regulation is used for future recognition steps.

Change mechanism and change type analysis for SAR images
S. Q. Huang, Z. G. Liu, Q. M. Zhang, et al.
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image change detection is a very complex problem like SAR imaging mechanism. Every change detection method has its advantage and disadvantage and there are no optimal change detection approaches. If general methods directly perform SAR image change detection, it can not obtain the satisfied results. Sometimes, for a pair of multi-temporal SAR images, different detection methods can obtain different detected results; what's more, the results are contrary. In order to improve SAR image change detection precision, this paper studies SAR image change mechanism in detail and represents the change types of SAR images. The new integrative change detection algorithm is proposed, and the real SAR image data tests the methods.

Li Ding, Runjing Zhou, Guiying Liu
Pulse wave of human body contains large amount of physiological and pathological information, so the degree of arteriosclerosis classification algorithm is study based on fuzzy pattern recognition in this paper. Taking the human's pulse wave as the research object, we can extract the characteristic of time and frequency domain of pulse signal, and select the parameters with a better clustering effect for arteriosclerosis identification. Moreover, the validity of characteristic parameters is verified by fuzzy ISODATA clustering method (FISOCM). Finally, fuzzy pattern recognition system can quantitatively distinguish the degree of arteriosclerosis with patients. By testing the 50 samples in the built pulse database, the experimental result shows that the algorithm is practical and achieves a good classification recognition result.

Xiaogang Sun, Bin Chen, Liang Zhang
Real-time detecting print-defect system is significant for automatically quality control in printing industry. The state-of-the-art detecting algorithms are based on conventional template matching process and usually suffer from false alarm caused by acceptable variations. This paper proposes a novel on-line print-defect detecting approach which uses incremental principal component analysis to model a variety pattern with respect to the detected image itself. The algorithm is constructed and deployed to a real-time detecting print-defect system, and the test results show that the system reduces false alarm dramatically.
Robust watermarking in wavelet domain based on chaotic scrambling
Yanling Wang
Recently the protection of digital information has received significant attention within the digital media community and a number of techniques that try to address the problem by hiding appropriate information within digital media have been proposed. In this paper, a new watermarking method in discrete wavelet transform (DWT) domain is proposed. Firstly, we scrambled the watermark image based chaotic sequence and mapping to avoid the block effect. Secondly, we insert the scrambled watermark in LH2 and HL2 sub-band of the DWT of the host image to provide a good tradeoff between the transparency and the robustness of watermarks. The experimental results show that the embedded watermark in this way is sufficiently transparent and robust against noise and commonly used image processing methods such as Gaussian, JPEG compression, Median filtering etc.
Animated models coarsening with local area distortion and deformation degree control
Shixue Zhang, Yuanhao Wu, Jinyu Zhao
In computer graphics applications, mesh coarsening is an important technique to alleviate the workload of visualization processing. Compared to the extensive works on static model approximation, very little attentions have been paid to animated models. In this paper, we propose a new method to approximate animated models with local area distortion and deformation degree control. Our method uses an improved quadric error metric guided by a local area distortion measurement as a basic hierarchy. Also, we define a deformation degree parameter to be embedded into the aggregated quadric errors, so areas with large deformation during the animation can be successfully preserved. Finally, a mesh optimization process is proposed to further reduce the geometric distortion for each frame. Our approach is fast, easy to implement, and as a result good quality dynamic approximations with well-preserved sharp features can be generated at any given frame.
Fabric defect detection based on textured characteristics using wavelet transform
Ziguang Sun, Zhiqi Liu, Xiaorong Wang, et al.
In texture defect detection, the defects can be discriminated according to the distribution ranges of wavelet coefficients between the normal and defective parts of texture images. In traditional texture defect detection methods, the normal parts of texture images have to be trained in advance. In this paper, we propose a novel method to automatically determine the training regions based on the characteristics exhibited by normal and defective texture images. In this way, the detection error can be reduced because of the avoiding of environmental changes.
Edge detection based on multi-scale wavelet
Tingwan Wu, Yihui Duan, Baoliang Liu
In this paper, we present a novel wavelet-based algorithm for multi-scale edge detection. Firstly, calculate wavelet transform coefficients of the image according to the direction of the gradient. Then scan the neighborhood of the corresponding wavelet transform coefficients separately at three-scales, in order to position edges at a small scale and suppress noise at a large scale. The simulation results show that the new algorithm is feasible and effective, more details can be detected. Image clarity handled with new wavelet edge detection algorithm is superior to that of the best currently with Canny operator. For different input image, the novel algorithm can make us get a better edge map.
A fast digital image correlation algorithm based on Hartley transform and global sum-table scheme
Jianwei Huang, Zhixue Dong
Digital image correlation method (DICM) as a flexible tool for deformation measurements has found widespread use in a variety of fields. One major challenge in practical applications, however, lies in that this technique founded on zeronormalized cross-correlation (ZNCC) criterion is extremely time-consuming in correlation calculation. This paper introduces the Hartley transform and a so-called global sum-table strategy to evaluate the cross-correlation term and all double sums in the ZNCC expression, which can dramatically reduce computational complexity of correlation searching and therefore lead to significant computational savings. Both simulation tests and an actual example of displacement acquisition are employed to validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the fast algorithm, which indicates that it can improve the efficiency of the DICM calculation by ~4-14 times in comparison with the conventional algorithm. This is crucial for realizing a high-efficiency DICM to satisfy speed requirements for time-critical applications and large-scale data processing.
A new robust region-based ICA-SIFT shape descriptor for object recognition
Yating Yang, Shuguang Li
The paper proposed a new region-based ICA-SIFT shape descriptor. It combines two methods to realize the optimal performance: ICA to process global information and SIFT to get local features, therefore, it can describe various kinds of shapes accurately and concisely. The ICA-SIFT shape descriptor is proved to be invariant to skewing, scaling, translation and rotation. The main process of the ICA-SIFTSD is first to extract the canonical form of an original shape by ICA and has eliminated any effects of skewing and affine transformation. Next, we carried out SIFT feature extraction on canonical forms and got the ICA-SIFT shape descriptor, which is an improvement of the ICAZMSD method in [3]. We have applied FastICA and SURF( the speedup of SIFT) that can accelerate the calculation speed of the proposed method so that it can meet requirements of real-time applications. In the paper, we carried out a large number of experiments on the MPEG-7-CE database, using the ICA-SIFTSD as an effective descriptor for object recognition. The experimental results show recognition rates are 91.7% and 93.8% of simple and complex shape images respectively.

Jie Kang, Gang Yang
Since mathematic morphology of paper's defect detection method based on single-structure element has the shortcoming of obtaining incomplete and discontinued defect information, a new method of mathematical morphology defect detection on paper image using multi-scale and multi-structure elements morphology was proposed. Firstly, on the same scale, the multi-structure elements were adopted in edge detection on paper image, and then the edge image on one scale was gained through synthesizing. Secondly, the edge images on the different scales were weighted summed, binarized and suppressed the noise, and at last, the edge image of paper's defect detection was obtained using multi-scale and multi-structure elements morphology. The results of simulation show that the algorithm in this paper has better antiinterference and positioning accuracy, and the obtained edge is more complete.
A novel automatic segmentation of the left ventricle cavity and myocardium in MSCT data
Xingjia Wang, Lina Dong, Yufeng Huang, et al.
The manual segmentation of 3D high resolution cardiac multi slice CT (MSCT) datasets is both labor intensive and time consuming. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a powerful automatic/semi-automatic method to segmentation the cardiac myocardium and cavities. In this paper a novel approach for the automatic 3D segmentation has been developed to extract the epicardium and endocardium boundaries of the left ventricle (LV) of the heart. The segmentation of the MSCT data is divided into three parts. The first part, which is based on nonlinear intensity transformation and bilateral filter, paints background and smoothes slice for all real CT images; The second part, applies a cavity template mask to extract the LV cavity coarse region from all slices using the threshold and morphologic operations; The last part performs improved coupled level set algorithm incorporating coarse cavity contours and priors for the final segmentation. Experimental results and 3D surface reconstruction show the efficacy and advantage of our method for the segmentation of the left ventricle from real CT data.
Brain white matter tractography based on Riemannian manifold
Lu Meng, Bin Liu, Hong Zhao, et al.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is the only noninvasive technique of analyzing and qualifying water molecule's diffusion anisotropy in brain tissues. This paper presented a novel algorithm to analyze DTI and brain white matter tractography based on Riemannian manifold. Firstly, a 3×3 symmetric positive definite covariant tensor was constructed for each voxel using DTI, so brain white matte can be represented as a tensor field. Secondly, the tensor field was regarded as Riemannian manifold, and the fluid motion in the tensor field was represented by Navier-Stoke equation, so the problem of brain white matter tractography between two voxels can be transformed into the computation of smallest distance between two points in Riemannian manifold. Finally, distances between two points in Riemannian manifold can be represented by geodesic, and the numerical solution was based on Level-Set method, which was the brain white matter tractography. In experiment, this paper compared our method and the traditional algorithm based on a digital DTI phantom. The experiment result showed that our method could accurately retrieve the DTI tractography, and was more robust than traditional algorithm.

Human location and recognition for intelligent air conditioners
Bing Sun, Ke Li, Fei Weng, et al.
Through analyzing the low resolution video captured by a single camera fixed on the air condition, this paper proposes an approach that can automatically estimate the person's location and recognize the person's identification in real time. Human location can be obtained by smart geometry calculation with the knowledge of the camera intrinsic parameters and living experience. Human recognition has been found to be very difficult in reality, especially when the person is walking at a distance in the complexity indoor conditions. For optimal performance, we use the shape feature gait energy image (GEI) as the basis, since it isn't sensitive the noise. Then we extract more efficient features using the histograms of oriented gradients (HOG) and do the dimensionality reduction by the coupled subspaces analysis and discriminant analysis with tensor representation (CSA+DATER), Finally the classical Bayesian Theory is used for fusion of the result of HOG and the result of CSA+DATER. The proposed approach is tested on our lab database to evaluate the performance of the human location and recognition. To verify the robust of our human recognition approach especially, CMU MoBo gait database is used. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has a high accuracy rate in both human identification recognition and location estimation.

The example demonstrates that the symmetric fuzzy relative entropy is valid and reliable for spatial object recognition and classification, and its classification precision is very high.
Capture of meaningful faces from motion images
Ke Li, Bing Sun, Yuncai Liu
There is an increasing need and demand for automatic, efficient and reliable key information extraction from the video in industrial engineer. The face is one kind of the key information and usually the image is not clear in low-cost real-time surveillance system. The definition of the image mostly depends on the energy of the high frequency. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) are two excellent transform tools. This paper proposes a method using FFT and DWT to analyze the face definition in motion images. The proposed method consists of three steps. Firstly, we preprocess the image by Histogram equalization and morphology. Secondly, we processes face detection and tracking. Finally, we capture the clearest face. We compare FFT with DWT, and experimental results show that DWT base on Bior3.1 is the most efficient.
Efficient approach for binocular vision-SLAM
Dai-xian Zhu
This paper presents an approach to binocular vision simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm is used to extract the Natural landmarks. But SIFT algorithm is complicated and computation time is long. Firstly, the linear combination of cityblock distance and chessboard distance is comparability measurement; secondly, partial features are used to matching. SLAM is completed by fusing the information of SIFT features and robot information with EKF. Mahalanobisis distance is used in data association which solve the problem that the scale of data association increase with the map grows in process of SLAM .The simulation experiment indicate that the proposed method reduce computational complexity, and with high localization precision in indoor environments.

Caixia Yan, Qiang Zhan
A multiple mobile robots visual real-time locating system is introduced, in which the global search algorithm and track search algorithm are combined together to identify the real-time position and orientation(pose) of multiple mobile robots. The switching strategy between the two algorithms is given to ensure the accuracy and improve retrieval speed. The grid search approach is used to identify target while searching globally. By checking the location in the previous frame, the maximum speed and the frame time interval, thus the track search can determine the area target robot may appear in the next frame. Then, a new search will be performed in the certain area. The global search is used if target robot is not found in the previous search otherwise track search will be used. With the experiment on the static and dynamic recognition of three robots, the search method here is proved to be high precise, fast, stable and easy to extend, all the design requirements can be well met.

A two-stage scheme for multi-view human pose estimation
Junchi Yan, Bing Sun, Yuncai Liu
We present a two-stage scheme integrating voxel reconstruction and human motion tacking. By combining voxel reconstruction with human motion tracking interactively, our method can work in a cluttered background where perfect foreground silhouettes are hardly available. For each frame, a silhouette-based 3D volume reconstruction method and hierarchical tracking algorithm are applied in two stages. In the first stage, coarse reconstruction and tracking results are obtained, and then the refinement for reconstruction is applied in the second stage. The experimental results demonstrate our approach is promising. Although our method focuses on the problem of human body voxel reconstruction and motion tracking in this paper, our scheme can be used to reconstruct voxel data and infer the pose of many specified rigid and articulated objects.

Guangming Li, Zhenqi He, Huilin Zhang
Currently, the problems of low accuracy and slow speed in the LPR (license plate recognition) of motor vehicle still exist, while the problem is mainly due to complex interference caused by the surrounding environment. As the collection plate is usually located on the lower portion of the image, this system firstly cut the image from the position of 1 / 2 to obtain the lower part that can effectively reduce the interference information. Then, we orientate license plate accurately through Canny operator edge detection[1] and the geometric ratio features of license plate[6]. Combining these two methods can further remove the interference factors, and ultimately obtain accurate positioning. Finally, the experiment result has proved the method more reliable and faster.

Hongyan Li, Enqing Chen, Hongliang Fu
Based on interference temperature model, the problem of efficient secondary spectrum sharing is formulated as a power optimization problem with some constraints at physical layer. These constraints and optimization objective limit a feasible power vector set which leads to the need of access control besides power control. In this paper, we consider the decentralized cognitive radio network scenario where short-term data service is required, and the problem of distributed joint power and access control is studied to maximize the total secondary system throughput, subject to Quality of Service (QoS) constraints from individual secondary users and interference temperature limit (ITL) from primary system. Firstly, a pricing-based game model was used to solve distributed power allocation optimization problem in both high and low signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) scenarios. Secondly, when not all the secondary links can be supported with their QoS requirement and ITL, a distributed joint power and access control algorithm was introduced to find the allowable links which results in maximum network throughput with all the constraints satisfied, and the convergence performance is tested by simulations.

Bin Cheng, Shusheng Zhang, Yunfei Shi
Vectorizing recognition for engineering drawings is currently one of the most active research topics in the domain of pattern recognition. The merging algorithm of vector graphics primitive based on reliability index is presented. According to the dimension of vector basic graphics primitive, the reliability index of vector basic graphics primitive is defined, and then the reliability index of vector graphics primitive is set. Based on the reliability index, the vector graphic primitive is divided into two groups. One is the vector graphics primitive with high reliability index, the other is the vector graphics primitive with low reliability index. Firstly, Taking the graphics primitive with high reliability index as seed graphics primitive to carry out the merging algorithm, when searching the all vector basic graphics primitive is completed, and then the second merging algorithm is produced taking the vector graphics primitive with high reliability index as extending seed until the all vector graphics primitive is searched completely. The algorithm is developed based on the engineering drawing recognition system (EDRS) to merge the basic graphics primitive obtained by EDRS. The algorithm presents good results to merge the vector basic graphics primitive.

Framelet lifting in image processing
Da-yong Lu, Tie-yong Feng
To obtain appropriate framelets in image processing, we often need to lift existing framelets. For this purpose the paper presents some methods which allow us to modify existing framelets or filters to construct new ones. The relationships of matrices and their eigenvalues which be used in lifting schemes show that the frame bounds of the lifted wavelet frames are optimal. Moreover, the examples given in Section 4 indicate that the lifted framelets can play the roles of some operators such as the weighted average operator, the Sobel operator and the Laplacian operator, which operators are often used in edge detection and motion estimation applications.

Xilai Li, Aihua Li, Xiangfeng Bai
Face recognition based on 2D images is a difficult problem, because the illumination, pose and expression changes in the images create great statistical differences and the identity of the face itself becomes shadowed by these factors. 3D face recognition has the potential to overcome feature localization, pose and illumination problems, and it can be used in conjunction with 2D systems. We review the relevant work on 3D face recognition here, and discuss merits and demerits of different representations and recognition algorithms. This survey focuses on 3D face data acquisition and 3D face recognition using histogram features. Future works involved in developing more accurate 3D face recognition are also discussed. These include the need for improved 3D face data acquisition, 3D face recognition algorithms and 3D face experimental methodology.

Yihong Guan, Bin Guo, Rui Duan, et al.

This paper will adopt the above three theories to propose a human brain image segmentation research method. Experimental result shows that the method solves the problem of the class attribution of the controversial points, and the segmentation result is more in line with human vision.

This paper presents a new edge-based interactive image segmentation method. First an edge image is generated with an edge detector, and then primary object edges can be selected by separating the object and background edges.

Natural and medical image segmentation demonstrates that our method incorporates the advantages of the automatic and manual image segmentation methods. For most of images, a little of manual object edge connection is needed to obtain object edges. It is an effective and feasible interactive image segmentation method.
Print image sharpness analysis based on gray-level co-occurrence matrices
Lin Zhang, Meiyun Zhang, Yangyu Wu
A novel measure is presented to quantify print image sharpness. Nine texture features of gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) were calculated from the print images respectively which were blurred by Gaussian blurs filter with different radius ranging from 0 to 8 pixels in steps of 2. Experiments were performed on these images with different GLCM distance d (2, 4, 6, 8,10 pixels) and orientation θ (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°) under the constant window size (64 pixels). Furthermore, the correlation matrix of texture features was calculated to judge which texture features can be chosen to assess sharpness most. The test results show contrast and energy provide the most unique information of print image sharpness. And the distance d of GLCM can be determined to be 6 pixels and the different orientation θ has little effect on the trends. The method is reliable and extends GLCM with the sharpness evaluation of variable size, oriented print image.

Finally, the fused coefficients are reconstructed to obtain fusion results. Experimental results show that the method is more suitable for metallurgical image fusion than other ways, the fused image will have more information and the observation with naked eyes will be clearer.

Haijun Liu, Yongping Yi, Hongxia Yang, et al.
High precision magnetic exploration is a popular geophysical technique for its simplicity and its effectiveness. The explanation in high precision magnetic exploration is always a difficulty because of the existence of noise and disturbance factors, so it is necessary to find an effective preprocessing method to get rid of the affection of interference factors before further processing. The common way to do this work is by filtering. There are many kinds of filtering methods. In this paper we introduced in detail three popular kinds of filtering techniques including regularized filtering technique, sliding averages filtering technique, compensation smoothing filtering technique. Then we designed the work flow of filtering program based on these techniques and realized it with the help of DELPHI. To check it we applied it to preprocess magnetic data of a certain place in China. Comparing the initial contour map with the filtered contour map, we can see clearly the perfect effect our program. The contour map processed by our program is very smooth and the high frequency parts of data are disappeared. After filtering, we separated useful signals and noisy signals, minor anomaly and major anomaly, local anomaly and regional anomaly. It made us easily to focus on the useful information. Our program can be used to preprocess magnetic data. The results showed the effectiveness of our program.

Proposed algorithm has been successfully applied to problem of function approximation and classification application. Experimental results show that the algorithm increases the training speed greatly when dealing with large dataset and has better generalization performance compared to extreme learning machine, evolutionary extreme learning machine and Boosting ensemble extreme learning machine with quasi-Newton algorithms.

Improvement mean shift-based image segmentation approach for automatic agriculture vehicle
Yong-hua Han, Ya-ming Wang, Yun Zhao
Mean Shift algorithm, a statistic iterative procedure, is robust when applied to farmland image segmentation. It can effectively overcome the influence of shadow, weeds or illumination changes, etc. However, the Mean Shift procedure has relatively high time complexity and can not meet the requirements of real-time processing. Based on pyramid algorithm, we can obtain a low resolution representation of the images being processed. Then, run Mean shift algorithm on a set of seed points that selected in the low resolution image. Through this method, the time consumption is significantly lower than the original Mean Shift Procedure. The objects in farmland images are large and there are only two major types of structure in it, so the examination accuracy of proposed method is changed little. At the same time based on spatial structure and color distribution of farmland image, Mean Shift Kernel radius in the spatial and range domain is selected. In addition, according to different seasons, crops show different colors. In this case, the equations which convert color image into a grayscale image are discussed.

But the shortcome of colour distortion and low resolution in many field is often obvious, especially when QuickBird natural colour multispectral images are fused with its panchromatic images. In this paper, an improved fusion of IHS based on wavelet is proposed. At the same time ,From the result of this experiment proves that the concept of the proposed improved fusion is promising, and it does significantly improve the fusion quality compared to conventional IHS and wavelet transform fusion techniques.

Yong Zhang, Weiqi Jin, Rui Xue
Image fusion can integrate several images of the same scene captured by several different sensors with different features and resolutions at different time into one image. Research on quality assessment of fusion images is meaningful for image processing course in order to improve the registration technology and fusion algorithm. Structural similarity metric describes differences between two images by means of three variables, luminance, contrast, and spatial similarity, which show the better evaluating capability than others objective metrics. A new assessment method to fusion effect based on structural similarity comparison among fusion images is provided in paper. Fusion algorithms including weighing method, principal component analysis, different pyramid methods and multi-resolution wavelet filtering is used to create fusion images. Then the mutual structural similarity metric among fusion images obtained by different fusion algorithms is used to evaluate the fusion effect. In some extent, the low structural similarity comparison denotes the low quality fusion effect. Meanwhile, the experiment show also the fusion effect determined by structural similarity comparison is accordant with the subjective evaluation. Besides, the experiment explain the method based on different pyramid methods and multi-resolution wavelet filtering have the better fusion effect than weighing method and principal component analysis method. Furthermore, the experiment also prove the whole image fusion system should choose the different fusion algorithm to adjust to the different task requirement and applied circumstance in order to acquire the optimum scene interpreting effect.

Chen-Chiung Hsieh, Dung-Hua Liou, Meng-Kai Jiang
Man machine interface by video analysis becomes popular recently. The most typical body gesture utilized for computer interaction is hand gesture. Therefore, it is a very important topic to accurately extract hand regions from a sequence of images in real time. In this paper, we propose an adaptive skin color model which is based on detected face color. Skin colors are sampled from extracted face region where non-skin color pixels like eyebrow or glasses are excluded. Gaussian distributions of normalized RGB are then used to define the skin color model for the detected person. To demonstrate the robustness of proposed model, experiments under diversified lighting and background are tested. Traditional methods based on RGB, Normalized RGB, and YCbCr are all implemented for comparison. From experimental results, skin color pixels could be detected for each person. The accuracy rate is 95.73% on average and is superior to previously mentioned methods.

Jing Luo, Jian-yun Ni, Shu-zhong Lin, et al.
A noise filtration technique for fabric defects image using curvelet transform domain Filters is proposed in this paper. Firstly, we used FDCT_WARPING to decompose image into five scales curvelet coefficients. Secondly, the proposed algorithm distinguished major edges from noise background at the third scale. Thirdly, the possible lost edges in the procedure above were detected according to the decaying lever of the coefficients. Fourthly, the edges of the defect at the second scale were detected by four correlation coefficients in the two directions at the third scale. Fifthly, the curvelet coefficients at the fourth scale are filtered by the decaying lever. Sixthly, the curvelet coefficients at the fifth scale are filtered by hard threshing. Finally, the processed coefficients are reconstructed. The tests on the developed algorithms were performed with images from TILDA's Textile Texture Database, and suggest that the new approach outperforms wavelet methods in image denoising.
A quick scan and lane recognition algorithm based on positional distribution and edge features
Jian Wang, Yuan Zhang, Xiaomin Chen, et al.
With the growing number of vehicles on the road, the automatic guided vehicles (AGV) vision system for intelligent vehicles has been given more and more attention. Lane recognition is an important component in the automatic guided vehicles (AGV) vision system for intelligent vehicles. To improve the speed and accuracy of lane recognition, this paper proposed an image segmentation algorithm based on the normalized histogram matching and a specific image scan algorithm based on positional distribution of lanes to reduce runtime. The purpose of image segmentation is extracting useful road information and the algorithm is segmenting the image by calculating the similarity of Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of normalization histogram. The main idea of image scan algorithm proposed in this paper is regarding the lanes that have been found as starting points and looking for the new lanes. Then we use a novel lane screen algorithm based on the left and right edges of lanes' geometric feature to remove invalid information and improve the accuracy and promote efficiency effectively. At last, a lane prediction algorithm is proposed to predict the farther lanes which may be lost due to treating as noises. After our tests, this algorithm has better robustness and higher efficiency.
Region-based document image denoising
Qing-Wen Zhou, Kai Wang, Hong-Jiang You, et al.
Traditional image de-noising methods mainly focus on the global effect, but the noise in document images tends to gather in certain local areas. So global de-noising processes will inevitably affect the recognition rate. Region based image de-noising uses pixel statistical information of local regions to separate noise and non-noise regions. And de-noising only applies on these noise regions instead of the entire image. So the deficiency of traditional method can be overcome. Test result on UNLV with 11176 samples shows that the average recognition rate rises from 94.44% to 94.85% by using this method.

Qing-Wen Zhou, Kai Wang, Qing-Ren Wang
As a self-organizing artificial neural network model based on supervised learning, the LVQ classifier has been widely applied and deeply studied due to its good practical performance on the pattern recognition problems. The improved LVQ classifier have been greatly developed in previous works, and the experimental results on specific problems show that the improved LVQ classifier is indeed better than the standard learning algorithms proposed by Kohonen. Different from previous works, the consistency is studied in this paper to provide a theoretical support for the LVQ classifier. Furthermore, a simulation is included in this paper to provide an experimental support for our theoretical work.
Cryptography based on spatial chaotic system
Fuyan Sun, Zongwang Lü
Encryption of images is different from that of texts due to some intrinsic features of images such as bulk data capacity and high redundancy, which is generally difficult to handle by traditional methods. This paper proposes a new spatial chaos system(SCS), which is investigated by conducting FIPS 140-1 statistic test, and is especially useful for encryption of digital images. It is shown how to adapt a two dimensional(2D) ergodic matrix obtained from SCS to permute the positions of image pixels and confuse the relationship between the cipher image and plain image simultaneously. Experimental results show that the performance and security of the proposed cryptographic system are better than those of existing lower dimensional chaotic cryptographic systems.
An algorithm of multi-structure based on Riemannian manifold learning
Wei Wang, Du-yan Bi, Lei Xiong
Riemannian Manifold Learning (RML) is a global algorithm proposed recently, so it can't preserve the local geometry property of neighboring data well. An algorithm of multi-structure based on RML is proposed in order to solve the problem. In the algorithm, all points were projected by PCA firstly so as to the extracted character is irrelevant, then constructed a neighbor graph. The most important step was that all data points were classified to two parts, for the k - NN of a base point, it adopted a weight which can preserve local property of the base point and neighboring nods to get the low-dimensional embedding coordinates. As for the other points, it still used the RML algorithm. Thus the new algorithm can both preserve the metrics at all scales and keep the geometrical property of local neighbor to the maximum. Experimental results on synthetic data and MNIST data set demonstrate that the new algorithm can reflect the intrinsic property better than the other manifold learning algorithms.

T. W. Lan, H. W. Zhang, Y. Chen, et al.
Based on the intrinsic relation between a number of outburst factors and outburst dangers, multi-factor pattern recognition model has been established. Furthermore, the prediction rules of outburst probability of coal and gas have been determined. By adopting multi-factor pattern recognition probabilistic prediction methods, the regional forecast of dangerous areas of coal and gas has been finished; risky areas, threatening areas and areas without obvious dangers of coal and gas inside the coal field has been divided; assessment has been made on the outburst danger of coal and gas; the accuracy of gas disaster prediction has been improved. The establishment of a relatively scientific prediction method of outburst areas of coal and gas would make it possible to enable coal mine safety workers to make accurate judgment and prevent the outburst of coal and gas.

Fuyan Sun, Zongwang Lü
In recent years, the chaos based cryptographic algorithms have suggested some new and efficient ways to develop secure image encryption techniques. In this paper, we propose a new approach for image encryption based on spatial chaotic map. The new scheme employs the spatial Cat map to shuffle the positions and uses another spatial chaotic map to confuse the relationship between the cipher-image and the plain-image. The results of experimental, statistical analysis and key space analysis show that the proposed image encryption scheme provides an efficient and secure way for realtime image encryption and transmission.

Weihua Wang, Zhijing Liu
This paper describes an approach aimed at automatic identification of events of abandoned and stolen objects in variety environment. Our approach mainly include three steps of data processing: the first processing phrase is object extraction, involving a dual-time background subtraction algorithm which dynamically updates two sets of background. Then, extracted objects are classified as static or dynamic objects and human or non-human objects. Finally, a decision-making model is employed to calculate a confidence score for the classification about event, and an alarm will be automatically triggered if the certainty of action is higher than a pre-defined threshold. Also, the robustness and efficiency of the method was tested on our real time video surveillance system and evaluated by public database such as AVSS 2007 datasets.
Image categorization based on spatial visual vocabulary model
Yuxin Wang, Changqin He, He Guo, et al.
In this paper, we propose an approach to recognize scene categories by means of a novel method named spatial visual vocabulary. Firstly, we hierarchically divide images into sub regions and construct the spatial visual vocabulary by grouping the low-level features collected from every corresponding spatial sub region into a specified number of clusters using k-means algorithm. To recognize the category of a scene, the visual vocabulary distributions of all spatial sub regions are concatenated to form a global feature vector. The classification is obtained using LIBSVM, a support vector machine classifier. Our goal is to find a universal framework which is applicable to various types of features, so two kinds of features are used in the experiments: "V1-like" filters and PACT features. In almost all experimental cases, the proposed model achieves superior results. Source codes are available by email.

Gengxiang Li, Bo Yang, Mo Dai
The process of identifying regions with similar texture and separating regions with different texture is an essential step towards identifying surfaces and objects in the image. This paper describes a method of processing discontinuities of the gray level image. Moments are widely used in image analysis and pattern recognition. The Gaussian-Hermite moments, as one kind of orthogonal moments, are proposed to estimate coherency of the image in this paper. The local image is firstly converted into frequency domain from spatial domain, and then coherency is measured by matrix constructed of Gaussian-Hermite moments of energy within frequency domain. Compared to other methods, such as coherency estimation based on geometric moments, cross correlation, eigenstructure, semblance, or gradient vector field, the experimental results show a good performance in feature representation, regions recognition and regions.
Construction of panoramic image mosaics based on affine transform and graph cut
Haiying Wang, Kaihuai Qin
Image-based rendering has been a popular technique to simulate a visually rich telepresence and virtual reality experience. The construction of panoramic image mosaics is an indispensable step in image-based rendering systems like QuickTime VR and Surround Video. The conventional methods for creating panoramic image mosaics with regular photographic or video images use geometrical feature points and optimization to the overlapped areas of the two consecutive images, and then align and mosaic the corresponding areas using the blending or stitching algorithm. This paper introduces a novel and efficient method to build panoramic image mosaics. The proposed method divides the overlapped areas of the consecutive images into several sub-areas. The feature point, whose gradient value of intensity is the maximum in the sub-area can be found easily. After selecting these feature points, we warp the images using an affine transformation based on point set matching. Then the graph cut algorithm is used to build the seamless image mosaic which makes the overlapped areas containing no visible ghosting or blurred details. It is shown by the experiments that the new method can obtain mosaics of high quality and reduce the computing time.
A novel diamond search algorithm for fast block motion estimation
Jin-xiao Yang, Yong-bo Zhang, Li-hao Huang
Video coding is a complex process, comprising a combination of spatial, temporal and statistical data reduction techniques. Of these techniques, motion estimation taking advantage of inter-frame information redundancy plays the most important role. So finding the most efficient motion estimation algorithm remains an important research problem. In this paper, a New Diamond Search (NDS) algorithm is proposed to improve the efficiency of video coding. The NDS algorithm applies Cross Search Pattern (CSP) in the very beginning search steps and switch using Large Diamond Search Pattern (LDSP) and Small Diamond Search Pattern (SDSP), so as to avoid the problem of local optimum. Experimental results show that the proposed NDS algorithm is obviously improved in search speed and search accuracy compared with the Diamond Search algorithm. The NDS algorithm can achieve very close quality compared to full search but with 18.51times speedup. In term of speed, compared with the DS algorithm, the NDS algorithm can achieve more than 125% speedup.
Improving example-based super-resolution via clustering training sets
Qinlan Xie, Hong Chen
More image patches in a training set making it more time-consuming has become a holdback of the real-time application of example-based super-resolution. The paper proposes a method which clusters these training set to accelerate the procedure. Before the super-resolution, a clustering method is used to partition the middle-frequency components in the training set into some subsets. During super-resolution, the distances between each matching patch of low-resolution image and each subset of training set are computed. The subset with the minimum distance is selected to carry out farther matching. This procedure goes along until a most matching patch is found. The high-frequency patch within the training set relevant to the found matching patch is selected as the researching output, which is used for super-resolution of objective image. Two examples are use to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithm, one using a factitious image obtained by blurring and down-sampling an original image, and another using directly a true image. The results show the proposed method can reduce effectively the computational complexity.
Research of ROI image compression based on visual attention model
Qing-hua Chen, Xiao-fang Xie, Jian Cao, et al.
Region of interest (ROI) coding is important in applications where certain parts of an image are of a higher importance than the rest of the image. Human vision system actively seeks interesting regions in images to reduce the search export in tasks, such as object detection and recognition. Similarly, prominent actions in video sequences are more likely to attract human's first sight than their surrounding neighbors. Based on the mechanism of HVS, this paper proposes a model of the focus of attention for detecting the attended regions in video sequences. It uses the similarity between the adjacent frames, establishes the gray histogram, selects the maximum similarity as predicable model, and gets position of the focus of attention in the next fame. And on the application of an algorithm for visual attention the paper shows the region of interest (ROI) coding in JPEG 2000. JPEG 2000 ROI coding is used in combination with an algorithm for VA to provide a progressive bit-stream where the regions highlighted by the VA algorithm are coded as an ROI and presented first in the bit-stream. It can be seen that there is an improvement in image quality centered on the ROI although this is achieved at the expense of reduced quality in the background of the image.

Xianqiang Zhu, Zhenfeng Shao
This paper analyzes the spectrum influence between Radon transform and Log-polar transform when rotation effect is eliminated. The average retrieval performance of wavelet and NSCT with different retrieval parameters is also studied. Based on which, the authors design a multi-scale and multi-orientation texture transform spectrum, as well as rotationinvariant feature vector and its measurement criteria. Then a new two-level rotation-invariant texture retrieval algorithm based on no-parameter statistic features is proposed. Experiments on Brodatz image database show that the algorithm proposed in this paper is appropriate for main orientation capturing and detail information description. Besides, the combination of this two-level progressive retrieval strategy and multi-scale analysis method can effectively improve retrieval efficiency compared with traditional algorithms and ensure a high precision as well.

Feng Wang, Su-mei Jia, Ying Guo, et al.
With the development of optical fiber communication, and after chromatic dispersion and attenuation are compensated for, polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in optical fibers becomes more and more important and cannot be ignored when the transmission system is up to 40Gbit/s or above, or transmission distance is several thousand kilometers long. In the paper, it is discussed four kinds of compensation schemes in 40Gbit/s optical communication system, it point out that transmission distance is different when use different compensation schemes by pulse broadening theory. And when the transmission speed is very high or the transmission distance is very long, it is necessary to compensated high-order PMD. It compared 2nd-order PMD compensated system and first-order PMD compensated system, it point out that 2nd-order PMD compensated system is much better than first-order PMD compensated system by pulse broadening theory.
Application of MAPGIS in extracting structure lines from magnetic data
Haijun Liu, Yongping Yi, Guochuang Hu, et al.
Magnetic data are an important way to help experts to define the boundaries of magnetic substances. A traditional method to extract structure information from magnetic data is to withdraw structure lines by hand. It was always a troublesome and tedious work and it was a waste of time to modify when necessary. Therefore it is necessary to find an efficient way to do this work. The development of computer and GIS makes it possible to process magnetic data automatically. In this paper, we firstly analyzed the physical significance of magnetic first horizontal derivative as well as the physical significance second vertical derivative. Secondly we elaborated the relationship between the structure lines and the extreme lines. Then we explained in detail how to extract extreme lines from the first horizontal derivative and how to filter the extreme lines in GIS. As an example we applied MAPGS6.7 to withdraw extreme lines from the first derivative contour diagrams of a certain place. We adopted plus-minus correlating, direction correlating and derivative correlating to filter the extreme lines and finally we mapped out the inferred structure. The ways explained in this paper make it more effective and more convenient for experts to process magnetic data. The result in this paper provides powerful reference for forecasting favorable place for prospecting.
An efficient and provably secure proxy signature scheme
Jianhong Zhang, Xue Liu
Proxy signature is a special signature, it allows an original signer to delegate her signing capability to a proxy signer and the proxy signer can produce a signature on behalf of the original signer. At present, most of proxy signature in essence consists of two signatures. To overcome the problem, we propose a short efficient proxy signature scheme based on a certificateless signature scheme. And we show that the proposed scheme is secure in the random oracle model. The security of the scheme is related to Inverse Computational Diffie-Hellman Problem and the k-CCA problem. Comparison with Huang et.al scheme, our scheme has an advantage over Huang et.al's scheme in terms of the size of proxy signature. Since the length of proxy signature in our scheme is 160bit, it is very suitable for mobile devices.

Haohan Wei, Jiazhu Zheng, Xiaoyun Shi
According to the ground-based principles of GPS meteorology, utilizing on the observation data of Nanjing regional GPS network, introducing the observation data of three IGS base stations to construct very long baselines, and combining with the atmospheric parameters by surface observation, the GPS absolute precipitable water vapor (PWV) and relative PWV were estimated. Compared with SONDE PWV and the actual surface rainfall, results show that there has a good relativity between GPS PWV and SONDE PWV; according to SONDE PWV, whether the average difference or correlation coefficient, GPS absolute PWV is better than relative PWV; The variation of GPS PWV value can be an intuitive response to changes in the actual surface rainfall, and Rainfall usually occurs in 4-6 hours after the value of GPS-PWV had a rapid increase; and with the value of GPS PWV significantly rise or drop, it shows the beginning or end of the rainfall. In addition, it's useful for studying on regional changes in atmospheric water vapor with Estimating PWV by regional GPS network, and can improve the accuracy of meso-, micro-scale weather forecast.

Lin Tang, Jian Rong, Xiaochun Zhong, et al.
The cone is divided into facets and each of the facets was analyzed with Lambert scattering distribution. The scattering of rotating ellipsoid was detailed analyzed and the scattering model of rotating ellipsoid deduced at normal incidence. At the same time, the applied model of the scattering was set up and the simulation was carried out with different contour parameters at normal incidence, and the laser scattering curves were plotted. The results show that the scattering light intensity achieve the maximum value when the zenith angle equals to 0 degree and decreases as zenith angle increasing, when the zenith angle equals to 180 degree the scattering light intensity close to zero. The further analysis shows that the scattering light intensity distributes smoothly when the ratio of long and short half axis is small but distributes more and more acute as the ratio of long and short half axis gets greater.
New filtering method for GPS/INS integrated navigation
Xiao-chun Zhong, Tao Song
The error caused by linearization in the filtering process is an important factor that decrease the filtering accuracy, and if the error exceeds the allowable range it may result in filter divergence for some highly nonlinear systems. In the GPS/INS system integrated with position and velocity, though the linearization process is eliminated because of its linear model, the navigation accuracy is degraded by the correlation between the system's measurements. So the integration of range was adopted for observation model, which makes use of the original measurements of GPS, so it can improve the navigation accuracy. As this observation model is nonlinear, for the high accuracy requirement of GPS/INS integrated navigation system, the UPF (Unscented Particle Filter) algorithm was introduced to estimate the system states. The UPF is a nonlinear filer which is more suitable for nonlinear systems. The simulation was carried out under the condition of less than four GPS satellites data available, the results of which show that the estimated values with UPF are quite close to real values, and the UPF algorithm has a very good performance when it applied in the GPS/INS integrated navigation.
An improved distributed routing algorithm for Benes based optical NoC
Jing Zhang, Huaxi Gu, Yintang Yang
Integrated optical interconnect is believed to be one of the main technologies to replace electrical wires. Optical Network-on-Chip (ONoC) has attracted more attentions nowadays. Benes topology is a good choice for ONoC for its rearrangeable non-blocking character, multistage feature and easy scalability. Routing algorithm plays an important role in determining the performance of ONoC. But traditional routing algorithms for Benes network are not suitable for ONoC communication, we developed a new distributed routing algorithm for Benes ONoC in this paper. Our algorithm selected the routing path dynamically according to network condition and enables more path choices for the message traveling in the network. We used OPNET to evaluate the performance of our routing algorithm and also compared it with a well-known bit-controlled routing algorithm. ETE delay and throughput were showed under different packet length and network sizes. Simulation results show that our routing algorithm can provide better performance for ONoC.
Comparative study on 3D optical network-on-chip architectures
Jun Zhang, Huaxi Gu
Network-on-chip (NoC) has been proposed to overcome the bottlenecks that on-chip communication faced due to the increase of chip complexity. However, limitations such as long delay and high power consumption make traditional NoC using electronic interconnects be inefficient for future use. A new design concept based on optical interconnects, Optical NoC, which can provide low latency, high bandwidth and lower power dissipation, is a promising solution for future on-chip interconnection. In this paper, we will investigate three different 3D Mesh-based ONoC topologies and compare them in terms of End-to-end delay (ETE delay) and network throughput under varying injection rates. The simulation result shows that 3D Partially-connected Optical-crossbar Mesh can achieve smaller network latency and throughput than other three Mesh based architectures.
Analysis of the characteristic of optical communication system influenced by first-order polarization mode dispersion
Feng Wang, Kuan Wang, Hong-lei Jiao, et al.
When attenuation and chromatic dispersion are compensated for, polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is a major limitation to the transmission capabilities of optical communication systems. So it is necessary to study PMD. In the paper, we simulated first-order PMD statistical properties, the relationship of Mean DGD and transmission distance, the deterioration of the receiver pulse broadening induced by PMD on pulse broadening theory, the distance relay L limited by system transmission speed B under different PMD, several systems of different PMD restrict the transmission distance etc., come to conclusion that PMD have some restrictions on high-speed system design. And the higher the rate, the shorter the distance relay. For low-speed system, by choosing low values of fiber PMD can increase distance relay, but for high-speed system, it is not a good idea to improve the system by selecting the optical fiber. In the actual design, you should consider PMD index of optical fiber, chosen code pattern of the system, transmission rate and error rate etc.
A combination strategy for tracking the serial criminal
Chuan He, Yuan-Biao Zhang, Jiadi Wan, et al.
We build a Geographic Profiling Model to generate the criminal's geographical profile, by combining two complementary strategies: the Spatial Distribution Strategy and the Probability Distance Strategy. In the first strategy, we designate the mean of all the known crime sites as the anchor point, and build a Standard Deviational Ellipse Model, considering the effect of landscape. In the second strategy, we take many factors such as the buffer zone and distance decay theory into consideration and calculate the probability of the offender's residence in a certain area by using the Bayesian Theorem and the Rossmo Algorithm. Then, we combine the result of two strategies and get three search areas suit different conditions of the police to track the serial criminal. Apply the model to the English serial killer Peter Sutcliffe's case, the calculation result shows that the model can effectively be used to track serial criminal.

The rough expression for topological relation of GIS entity based on binary relation
The relation for one entity and another entity of GIS is topological relation, and the set of two GIS entities with topological relation is an ordered pair, and so it is a binary relation. We use some characteristic of binary relation and rough set to study the relations for GIS entities, and we discover that the front, behind, upper and lower neighborhood relation of GIS entity have even more extensive sets than itself based on binary relation's generalized approximation space. We also discover that the upper and lower approximation of GIS entity for binary relation is more extensive than Pawlark rough set. We discover that the upper approximation for a single-point set of one GIS entity is equal to it's front neighborhood and is equal to it's behind neighborhood relation's inversion too.

Comparison of Aster and SPOT4 modified soil adjusted vegetation index data over northwestern China
Rong Yu, Bofeng Cai, Qinke Wen
Vegetation indices (VIs) are essential parameters widely used in the biosphere remote sensing retrieval, and the relationship between the same vegetation indexes derived from different sensors is critical to long-term monitoring of land surface properties. In this paper, MSAVI data derived from visible and near-infrared data acquired by the ASTER and SPOT4 sensors were compared over the same time periods and pixel size. The results showed that the two VIs play a higher correlation in high data field. ASTER MSAVI is more sensitive to vegetation coverage information. SPOT MSAVI overvalues the local vegetation reflection signals significantly. The linear relationship between vegetation coverage and MSAVI requires field sampling data to complete correction.

Research on extension element model of robot
Junying Tian, Honglin Chen
After having analyzed robot systems, this paper presents a method of organizing robot system with the matter-element in extension theory. The robot physical structure determines the matter-element model of robots. The objective external environment where robot is placed is plentiful, but the information that the robot can get about objective external environment is limited. The sensors carried by the robot is the only source of information. The sensor data can describe a robot external environment. The move, how to move, movement direction and movement mode of the actuators on the information obtained by the sensors closely relate to external environment. If we ignore the sensors and actuators in a robot system, the robot system is a processor and controller with moving targets and motion control rules. The moving targets is an active control system that is independent. In an extension element model of robots, the sensor data describe the inputs of robots, the movement of actuators describes the outputs of robots, and the robot itself is a controller with moving targets and motion control rules. The study on the matter-element models of robots can develop new research methods and ideas of robots, which is important for the robot's development and application.

Thus, the performance and digital simulation for a hydraulic system will be realized and finished.
Application of improved grey prediction in intelligent valve positioner
Qi Li, Xianghe Luan
Intelligent valve positioner is the main part of pneumatic actuator. Intelligent valve positioner exhibits nonlinear and time-varying properties that cannot be captured by any existing model, so it is difficult to satisfy its requirement for high accuracy and fast speed through the use of a single control method. We propose a fuzzy-PID control method based on a grey model, which combines fuzzy control with PID control, and the system provides inherently more accurate predictions. To address the potential problems of the fast increasing serie's dimension and an over-capacity of micro controller unit (MCU) as a result of frequent measurements by the grey model, we introduce a grey model of equal dimension and the recursive least-squared method, which keep the matrix dimension constant, reduce the computation load and ensure real-time results.

Jian-yu Xiao, Min-ming Tong, Qi Fan, et al.
Combining with fuzzy reasoning, neural network and back propagation algorithm, a fuzzy neural network model for the prediction of mine water inrush is built after the analysis of the main factors affected the mine water inrush, such as water pressure, fault throw, water conducted zone width, aquifer thickness and confining bed thickness. Then, on the basis of the water inrush mechanism and some practical examples, influential factors on mine water inrush are divided into three groups, and after that 81 fuzzy inference rules are constructed effectively. And then, the four-layer back propagation fuzzy neural network takes effect in training the input variables. Finally, a simulated prediction of the fuzzy neural network is made by using test samples.

Classifying human activities using feature points
Hao Zhang, Zhijing Liu, Qing Wei, et al.
This paper presents a new classification method for single person's motion, which is represented by Haar wavelet transform and classified by Hidden Markov Models. What it solves is that the feature points are detected by Haar wavelet transform. We extract binary silhouette and segment them by cycle after creating the background model. Then the low-level features are detected by Haar wavelet transform and principal vectors are determined by Principal Component Analysis. We utilize Hidden Markov Models to train and classify cycle sequences, and demonstrate the usability. Compared with others, our approach is simple and effective in feature point detection, as the advantages of Haar wavelet transform detector lying in computational complexity. So the video surveillance based on these is practicable in (but not limited to) many scenarios where the background is known.

Gear faults diagnosis based on wavelet-AR model and PCA
Zhixiong Li, Xinping Yan, Chengqing Yuan, et al.
Gear mechanisms are an important element in a variety of industrial applications and about 80% of the breakdowns of the transmission machinery are caused by the gear failure. Efficient incipient faults detection and accurate faults diagnosis are therefore critical to machinery normal operation. The use of mechanical vibration signals for fault diagnosis is significant and effective due to advances in the progress of digital signal processing techniques. Through virtual prototype simulation analysis and experimental study, a novel method for gear multi-faults diagnosis was presented in this paper based on the wavelet-Autoregressive (AR) model and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. The virtual prototype simulation and the experimental test were firstly carried out and the comparison results prove that the traditional Fast Fourier Transform Algorithm (FFT) analysis is not appropriate for the gear fault detection and identification. Then the wavelet-AR model was applied to extract the feature sets of the gear fault vibration data. In this procedure, the wavelet transform was used to decompose and de-noise the original signal to obtain fault signals, and the fault type information was extracted by the AR parameters. In order to eliminate the redundant fault features, the PCA was furthermore adopted to fuse the AR parameters into one characteristic to enhance the fault defection and identification. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method based on the wavelet-AR model and PCA is feasible and reliable in the gear multi-faults signal diagnosis, and the isolation of different gear conditions, including normal, single crack, single wear, compound fault of wear and spalling etc., has been effectively accomplished.
