Multi-vehicles tracking in traffic crossroad based on fast approximate optimal objective function with label costs
Le Wang, Shiyin Qin
In this paper, we present a novel framework for multiple vehicles tracking in traffic crossroad that formulate multi-target tracking as an optimization problem. We set the optimizing decision model of multi-vehicles tracking based on characteristics of vehicles and traffic crossroad. In our formulation the problem of error propagation can be avoided through cutting down the error of detector by rejecting the improper detecting points during the optimizing process. Several challenging datasets are employed to validate the accuracy and robustness of our approach. A series of experiment results has demonstrated that our method is able to handle partial or even complete occlusions and can hardly be influenced by variant scale object.
Foreground detection for content-based image retrieval
Xiao Dong Wang, Xiao Chen, Shan Shan Qu
Content-based image retrieval is an important task in many practical applications. All the existing algorithms can be divided into two categories, the global methods and the local methods. These methods both have their own drawbacks. Every kind of image property equally contributes to image retrieval applications in global methods, and only some selected ones are used in local methods. Generally, the global methods can not fully represent the specific properties of user interest, and many image properties are lost in local methods. In this paper, a novel method has been proposed, in which image properties are assigned with different weights, denoting the importance of the property in image retrieval application. The represented method simulates human perception of image foreground, and can make a trade-off between global methods and local methods. Experiments show that this method can improve image retrieval performance, without the lost of simplicity and compactness.

Analysis of image thresholding segmentation algorithms based on swarm intelligence
Yi Zhang, Kai Lu, Yinghui Gao, et al.
Swarm intelligence-based image thresholding segmentation algorithms are playing an important role in the research field of image segmentation. In this paper, we briefly introduce the theories of four existing image segmentation algorithms based on swarm intelligence including fish swarm algorithm, artificial bee colony, bacteria foraging algorithm and particle swarm optimization. Then some image benchmarks are tested in order to show the differences of the segmentation accuracy, time consumption, convergence and robustness for Salt&Pepper noise and Gaussian noise of these four algorithms. Through these comparisons, this paper gives qualitative analyses for the performance variance of the four algorithms. The conclusions in this paper would give a significant guide for the actual image segmentation.
Novel algebraic reconstruction technique for faster and finer CT reconstruction
Sajib Saha, Murat Tahtali, Andrew Lambert, et al.
n this paper, we present an innovative iterative algorithm for tomographic reconstruction. Algebraic reconstruction technique (ART) which is considered as the core of iterative approach has been enhanced to ensure much finer and faster reconstruction. Backprojection has been customized to make it work even when the projections are not uniformly distributed. Contour information of the object has been combined with customized backprojection to ensure a better initial guess to start ART iterations. Based on experiments with both simulated and real medical images it has been shown that the proposed modality is capable of computing more accurate reconstructions in addition with lower computational cost than traditional ART.
Warped document image correction method based on heterogeneous registration strategies
Lijing Tong, Guoliang Zhan, Quanyao Peng, et al.
With the popularity of digital camera and the application requirement of digitalized document images, using digital cameras to digitalize document images has become an irresistible trend. However, the warping of the document surface impacts on the quality of the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system seriously. To improve the warped document image’s vision quality and the OCR rate, this paper proposed a warped document image correction method based on heterogeneous registration strategies. This method mosaics two warped images of the same document from different viewpoints. Firstly, two feature points are selected from one image. Then the two feature points are registered in the other image base on heterogeneous registration strategies. At last, image mosaics are done for the two images, and the best mosaiced image is selected by OCR recognition results. As a result, for the best mosaiced image, the distortions are mostly removed and the OCR results are improved markedly. Experimental results show that the proposed method can resolve the issue of warped document image correction more effectively.
Defocus blur estimation from multi-scale gradients
Futao Pi, Yi Zhang, Gang Lu, et al.
In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective method for estimating defocus blur of microscopy images. The defocus blur at each edge point is estimated directly from local gradient profiles. To reliably detect edges and estimate blur in noisy and blur images, the image gradient is computed at multiple scales. The defocus blur at an edge point is firstly computed by the gradient ratio between different scales and is then recomputed by estimating the variance of the Gaussian gradient profiles. The proposed method is robust to noise and edge mis-localization. Experimental results on synthetic and real microscopy images demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

After the reflection properties analyzing, a near infrared (NIR) scene simulation method based on reflection properties of the typical target is presented. The experiment result shows the global features of NIR scene and laid the foundation of NIR scene simulation in future.
A new approach for salient motion in dynamic scenes
Min Liu, Weizhong Liu, Daoli Zhang
We introduce a new approach for salient motion in dynamic scenes. The proposed method is based on dynamic texture (DT) model and observability of the linear systems. Each video clip of τ frames is represented by DT in a holistic manner and the learned DT parameters are used to form an efficient formula of measuring observability. The formula is related to time-domain eigenvalues and eigenvectors. But the eigenvalue decomposition operation is not needed. The salient motion is detected by thresholding the observability values of each pixel location. Besides, we also introduce the system property of observability which can be used to reduce computational cost. Our method is tested on a challenging sequences set. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better trade-off between detection results and time efficiency than most current methods.
A GPU-paralleled implementation of an enhanced face recognition algorithm
Hao Chen, Xiyang Liu, Shuai Shao, et al.
Face recognition algorithm based on compressed sensing and sparse representation is hotly argued in these years. The scheme of this algorithm increases recognition rate as well as anti-noise capability. However, the computational cost is expensive and has become a main restricting factor for real world applications. In this paper, we introduce a GPU-accelerated hybrid variant of face recognition algorithm named parallel face recognition algorithm (pFRA). We describe here how to carry out parallel optimization design to take full advantage of many-core structure of a GPU. The pFRA is tested and compared with several other implementations under different data sample size. Finally, Our pFRA, implemented with NVIDIA GPU and Computer Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) programming model, achieves a significant speedup over the traditional CPU implementations.

Image local invariant feature description fusing multiple information
Qidan Zhu, Xue Liu, Chengtao Cai, et al.
In order to improve the invariance of the initial SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) and reduce mismatches when multiple local regions are similar, a novel method for image local invariant feature description based on SIFT is proposed. We introduce a new texture feature descriptor called center-symmetric improved local ternary patterns (CSILTP) that is a modified version of the well-known local binary patterns (LBP) feature and then fuse it with the global context information as the local feature descriptor in the SIFT algorithm. In the feature detection step, through iterative transformation, the initial feature point derived from the SIFT converges to affine invariant point and affine invariant region is extracted. In the feature description step, the dominant orientation is computed for each feature point. Then the image local feature descriptor is obtained by calculating the CS-ILTP and global context respectively. The feature matching experiment shows that the image local invariant feature descriptor present in this paper is invariant to image affine, scaling, rotation, illumination changes and so on. What's more, the number of correct matching features in artificial landmarks matching has increased by nearly 91% compared with the SIFT algorithm. The algorithm with high robustness and uniqueness is useful for the fields of robot navigation, image retrieval, etc.
A new approach to the form and position error measurement of the auto frame surface based on laser
Hua Wang, Wei Li
Auto frame is a very large workpiece, with length up to 12 meters and width up to 2 meters, and it’s very easy to know that it’s inconvenient and not automatic to measure such a large workpiece by independent manual operation. In this paper we propose a new approach to reconstruct the 3D model of the large workpiece, especially the auto truck frame, based on multiple pulsed lasers, for the purpose of measuring the form and position errors. In a concerned area, it just needs one high-speed camera and two lasers. It is a fast, high-precision and economical approach.
An improved image non-blind image deblurring method based on FoEs
Qidan Zhu, Lei Sun
Traditional non-blind image deblurring algorithms always use maximum a posterior(MAP). MAP estimates involving natural image priors can reduce the ripples effectively in contrast to maximum likelihood(ML). However, they have been found lacking in terms of restoration performance. Based on this issue, we utilize MAP with KL penalty to replace traditional MAP. We develop an image reconstruction algorithm that minimizes the KL divergence between the reference distribution and the prior distribution. The approximate KL penalty can restrain over-smooth caused by MAP. We use three groups of images and Harris corner detection to prove our method. The experimental results show that our algorithm of non-blind image restoration can effectively reduce the ringing effect and exhibit the state-of-the-art deblurring results.
Calibration method for misaligned catadioptric camera based on planar conic
Qidan Zhu, Congying Xu, Chengtao Cai
Based on conventional camera calibration methods, a flexible approach for misaligned catadioptric camera from planar conic was presented. The catadioptric camera composed of a perspective camera and a hyperboloid mirror. The projection model of misaligned catadioptric camera was built and the projection functions were derived. Having known camera parameters, this method only requires the camera to observe a model plane which contains three concentric conics on the back of the revolution mirror. Then the mirror posture and attitude relative to the camera can be calculated linearly. The center of the concentric conics is on the mirror axis. This technique is easy to use and all computations are matrix operations in the linear algebra. The closed-form solution can be obtained without nonlinear optimization. Experiments are conducted on real images to evaluate the correctness and the feasibility of this method.

Ensemble construction for SMT system combination via leave-one-out features
In this paper, we present a simple and effective method to systematically derive an ensemble of Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems from one baseline linear SMT model for use in system combination. Each system in the resulting ensemble is based on a feature set derived from the features of the baseline model (typically a subset of it). We will discuss the principles to determine the feature sets for derived systems, and present in detail the system combination model used in our work. Evaluation is performed on the data sets for NIST 2004 and NIST 2005 Chinese-to-English SMT tasks. Experimental results show that our method can bring significant improvements to baseline systems with state-of-the-art performance.
Research on energy-saving optimal control of trains in a following operation under a fixed four-aspect autoblock system based on multi-dimension parallel GA
Qiheng Lu, Xiaoyun Feng
After analyzing the working principle of the four-aspect fixed autoblock system, an energy-saving control model was created based on the dynamics equations of the trains in order to study the energy-saving optimal control strategy of trains in a following operation. Besides the safety and punctuality, the main aims of the model were the energy consumption and the time error. Based on this model, the static and dynamic speed restraints under a four-aspect fixed autoblock system were put forward. The multi-dimension parallel genetic algorithm (GA) and the external punishment function were adopted to solve this problem. By using the real number coding and the strategy of ramps divided into three parts, the convergence of GA was speeded up and the length of chromosomes was shortened. A vector of Gaussian random disturbance with zero mean was superposed to the mutation operator. The simulation result showed that the method could reduce the energy consumption effectively based on safety and punctuality.

Pe-xin Li, Yi Ying, Cesar Azurdia
Identification (ID) systems utilizing visible light are an interesting topic, and have been attracting the growing attention of researchers recently. However, LED transmitters with a unique ID illuminate a limited coverage area, therefore, limiting the communication coverage. In order to extend the communication coverage, we proposed wireless mesh networks (WMNs) for relaying the information. Routing operations in WMNs might be challenging due to various factors. In this paper we analyze the link error probability and optical power loss. Based on our proposed network topology, we further found an effective scheme, multi-stage parallel interference cancellation (PIC), to alleviate the negative impacts due to interference which comes from multi-user data transmission.

Guang-yu Wang, Wen-bo Li, Yu-jie Feng
Based on the NaSch Model, a new three-line cellular automata model emphasizing toll station on the high ways is built to discuss the impact of different amount of toll stations on the traffic flow. The models are as follows: Firstly, the process of cars driving is simulated. Secondly, the process of pulling station is simulated. In this part, two Cellular Automata Models are built separately for two cases, three tollbooths in the toll station and four tollbooths. The result shows that when the density of cars is on medium level, comparing with the toll station with three tollbooths, the toll station with four tollbooths can remit the traffic congestion effectively, but when the density of cars is too high or too low, the toll station with three tollbooths can do better.

Inductively coupled plasma etching of BZN thin films in SF6/Ar plasmas
Gang Wang, Ping Li, Guojun Zhang, et al.
Etching mechanisms and characteristics of bismuth zinc niobate (BZN) thin films were investigated in inductively coupled SF6/Ar plasmas. The influences of various etching parameters including the gas flow ratio, process pressure, and ICP power on the etching results were analyzed. It is found that the chemical etching with F radicals was more effective than the physical sputtering etching with Ar ions for the inductively coupled plasma etching of BZN thin films. The mechanism of ion assisted chemical etching of BZN thin films in SF6/Ar plasmas was proposed. A maximum etch rate of approximately 43.15 nm/min for the BZN thin film was obtained at the optimum etching conditions: 3/2 for the SF6/Ar gas flow ratio, 10 mTorr for the process pressure, and 600 W for the ICP power. The surface morphology of the etched BZN thin film was observed, where was smooth and clean and no post-etch residues were remained.
Modeling for spatial multilevel structural data
Suqin Min, Xiaoqun He
The traditional multilevel model assumed independence between groups. However, the datasets grouped by geographical units often has spatial dependence. The individual is influenced not only by its region but also by the adjacent regions, and level-2 residual distribution assumption of traditional multilevel model is violated. In order to deal with such spatial multilevel data, we introduce spatial statistics and spatial econometric models into multilevel model, and apply spatial parameters and adjacency matrix in traditional level-2 model to reflect the spatial autocorrelation. Spatial lag model express spatial effects. We build spatial multilevel model which consider both multilevel thinking and spatial correlation.

Password-based authenticated key exchange scheme using smart card
Hui Liu, Shaojun Zhong
A protocol that allows any two entities to negotiate a shared session key is commonly called a key exchange protocol. If the protocol provides a function to authenticate each other, we call the protocol authenticated key exchange protocol (AKE). Password authentication key exchange (PAKE) is the AKE protocol in which the two entities share a humanmemorable password. Most of current PAKE relies on the existence of a public key infrastructure, which sometime is impossible for a certain environments such as low computational device due to the computation overhead. In this paper, we propose password–based authenticated key exchange using smart card. Compared to previous PAKE, our protocol is more efficient because our protocol is based on ECC. Thereby, the proposed protocol can be well applied to low computation device.

A robust technique for real-time image match
Bin Su, Fengwen Mi
In the field of computer vision, image match is one of the most important research topics. It is used to match two or more images, for example, at different time, from different sensors or from different viewpoints. In this paper, we present a robust method for realtime image registration. First, the feature points of two images were obtained by using Adaptive Harris detector, and the matching points of the two images are determined by using global search. And then the maximum correlation principle is involved to adaptively determine the optimal affine transformation parameters. In the stage of real-time video image registration, we can determine the searching area for the related feature points in the current frame using the affine transformation matrix between the reference image and the previous frame, which enables the matching method effective. The experimental results showed that the presented method achieved 25fps, which is fast enough, and the registration errors are small enough demonstrating the high precision of the proposed registration method.

Tao Zeng, Gengchen Shi, Bing Zhang, et al.
In order to quickly and exactly detect the subpixel image edge of micro-part, a fast subpixel edge detection method based on the property of Gaussian blurred edge model is proposed. Firstly, the approximate positioning of edge point was extracted by double-threshold segmentation; secondly a Zernike moment operator with a mask size of 5×5 was used to get rid of false edge points and relocate the edge with subpixel accuracy. Experiment results show that the subpixel accuracy and the running time of the method are 0.16 pixel and 0.94s. Therefore, the method is suitable for online threedimensional size detection of micro-part.

A moving object detection algorithm with sparse motion field estimation, motion classification and pixel-wise segmentation is proposed. Firstly, sparse motion field is recovered by fast corner detection and tracking. The corners that belong to the same motion pattern are classified according to their motion consistency, then, the resulting corner group is used to reconstructed scene image, and the foreground corners are identified by getting rid of the group with the least reconstruction error. Finally, optimal dense segmentation of the foreground is performed by using graph cuts, the energy function of which integrates corner motion, local color distribution and image edges.

Xiaoshan Sun, Yang Zhang, Liang Cheng
Today many bug detecting tools use static program analysis techniques to discover the vulnerabilities in programs, and many static program analyses can be converted to CFL (Context-Free-Language) reachability problems, most of which are Dyck-CFL reachability problems, a particular class of CFL reachability problems based on Dyck languages. In order to speed up the static analyses formulated using the Dyck-CFL reachability problems, we propose an efficient algorithm of O(n) time for the Dyck-CFL reachability problem when the graph considered is a bidirected tree with specific constraints, while a naïve algorithm runs in O(n2) time. This is done by the bidirected-tree merging and an efficient method to determine the existence of the directed-path from the source to the destination.

He Deng, Lifang Cheng
The problems of detection, identification and tracking of moving target under the condition of moving camera are quite difficult in the application of computer vision. This paper proposes two different methods to the detection of moving target in the light of the size of the object. One approach integrates the image-interpolation technique and the active contour model, the other unites the image-interpolation technique, the modified local entropy algorithm and the region growing skill. The introduction of the image-interpolation technique is to estimate the global motion, i.e. background motion. The active contour model or the modified local entropy algorithm and region growing skill act upon the difference image, and then detect the moving target. It is demonstrated the reasonableness and efficiency of two detection approaches through experiments.
