Stereo matching cost computation based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform

A new matching cost computation method based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) for stereo image matching is proposed in this paper. Firstly, stereo image is decomposed into high frequency sub-band images at different scales and along different directions by NSCT. Secondly, by utilizing coefficients in high frequency domain and grayscales in RGB color space, the computation model of weighted matching cost between two pixels is designed based on the gestalt laws. Lastly, two types of experiments are carried out with standard stereopairs in the Middlebury benchmark. One of the experiments is to confirm optimum values of NSCT scale and direction parameters, and the other is to compare proposed matching cost with nine known matching costs. Experimental results show that the optimum values of scale and direction parameters are respectively 2 and 3, and the matching accuracy of the proposed matching cost is twice higher than that of traditional NCC cost.

以一种新的距离度量作为反馈的相关跟踪方法

基于相关的模板匹配方法在图像跟踪中得到了广泛的应用,但是这种方法的主要缺点是对图像噪声非常敏感,而且由这种方法得出的相关曲面比较平坦。为了有效抑制噪声和局部遮挡对图像的影响,提出用鲁棒统计中的一个值代替相关值作为距离度量。它不是计算两幅图像的对应像素差值,而是计算两幅图像中差别不大的对应像素对的个数。实验证明这样得到的曲面相对　　收稿日期:2003 08 31;　修订日期:2003 10 28作者简介:张桂林(1944 ),男,天津人,教授,博士生导师,主要研究方向为自动识别、人体生物统计特征识别、图像处理算法与系统性能评估等。　　　　　　　要尖锐得多。当上述的距离度量应用于跟踪过程中时,模板的合理更新对跟踪非常重要。基于上述的距离度量方法,提出了一种新的模板更新策略。利用两幅图像中近似像素在整修匹配模板像素中所占的比例大小决定加权系数。这种加权策略可以自适应地根据图像序列的变化选择更新相关模板,同时在一定程度上减小模板漂移的危险。

本文在分析了双眼立体视觉面临的本质困难之后，提出了用金字塔图法匹配特征基元的三眼立体视觉方法，这种方法由于建筑在透视投影几何原理的稳固基础上，无须任何先验限制，也不以图象相似性为基础，故可较好地解决精度与匹配难度的矛盾，且运用金字塔图法进行匹配传播使在保证精度的基础上，匹配速度大大提高，对计算机人工图象的匹配结果表明，误匹配率几乎为零，且有较高的匹配速度和精度。     

采用8031作主控器的时域FIR数字滤波器

长期以来，ＦＩＲ数字滤波器大多是在频域上实现。因为，在时域上实现ＦＩＲ数字滤波所遇到的首要问题，是输入信号序列与冲激响应序列的卷积运算速度难以提高。然而，随着超大规模集成电路的飞速发展，硬件集成度与运算速度获得极大的改观，在时域上实现ＦＩＲ数字滤波已成为可能。ＩＭＳＡ１００是高速、高精度３２级数字信号处理器，是完成卷积运算的理想器件。本文论证了用ＩＭＳＡ１００实现时域ＦＩＲ数字滤波器的可行性和硬件设计中的一些问题，并给出了应用举例。在设计中选用８０３１单片机做主控器，大大提高了性能价格比，使这一设计具有很高的实用价值。     

Classification of hand postures against complex backgrounds using elastic graph matching

A system for person-independent classification of hand postures against complex backgrounds in video images is presented. The system employs elastic graph matching, which has already been successfully applied for object and face recognition. We use the bunch graph technique to model variance in hand posture appearance between different subjects and variance in backgrounds. Our system does not need a separate segmentation stage but closely integrates finding the object boundaries with posture classification.     

Bandpass filters using periodically loaded combline resonators

A novel combline filter is proposed for cellular‐radio base stations. The Q‐factor is significantly improved. The eigenvalue equation is expressed with the single‐team approximation in the gap region of the combline resonator. A two‐pole combline filter is designed. The calculation, simulation, and experiment results are presented and are in good agreement. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2006.     

冷轧带肋钢筋直径与拉丝机卷筒直径的匹配

采用被动式工艺生产冷轧带肋钢筋须经过减径、成型两台轧机连续轧制．要求钢材的秒流量相等，否则将造成断线停产或线材在拉丝机卷筒上打滑，致使卷筒严重磨损．用双层卷筒拉丝机提供动力生产冷轧带肋钢筋时，线材直径与卷筒直径的匹配是在一个小的调整范围，通过轧机拉力控制在一定范围变化，可保证成品尺寸符合公差要求而不产生打滑，从而避免了卷筒严重磨损．     

Empirical comparison of image retrieval color similarity methods with human judgment

It is important to verify assumptions and methods of image retrieval against actual human behavior. A study was conducted to compare similarity methods of color histograms against human assessment of similarity. The similarity methods tested include basic histogram intersection, center histogram matching, locality histogram matching, and size-weighted histogram matching. 161 subjects participated in the empirical study. The findings, based on Spearman correlation analysis, showed that both the basic histogram intersection method and size-weighted histogram are very close to human assessment of similarity (Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.915). The other two are not close to human judgment on similarity. This study illustrates an alternative approach to evaluating matching algorithms. Unlike the usual measures of recall and precision, this approach emphasizes human validation. Fewer images are required with the use of statistical testing.     

A simple approximation algorithm for the weighted matching problem

We present a linear time approximation algorithm with a performance ratio of 1/2 for finding a maximum weight matching in an arbitrary graph. Such a result is already known and is due to Preis [STACS'99, Lecture Notes in Comput. Sci., Vol. 1563, 1999, pp. 259-269]. Our algorithm uses a new approach which is much simpler than the one given by Preis and needs no amortized analysis for its running time.
