Thermodynamics-inspired inverse halftoning viamultiple halftone images

Based on an analogy between thermodynamics and Bayesian inference,inverse halftoning was formulated using multiple halftone images based on Bayesian inference using the maximizer of the posterior marginal(MPM) estimate.Applying Monte Carlo simulation to a set of snapshots of the Q-Ising model,it was demonstrated that optimal performance is achieved around the Bayes-optimal condition within statistical uncertainty and that the performance of the Bayes-optimal solution is superior to that of the maximum-a-posteriori(MAP) estimation which is a deterministic limit of the MPM estimate.These properties were qualitatively confirmed by the mean-field theory using an infinite-range model established in statistical mechanics.Additionally,a practical and useful method was constructed using the statistical mechanical iterative method via the Bethe approximation.Numerical simulations for a 256-grayscale standard image show that Bethe approximation works as good as the MPM estimation if the parameters are set appropriately.     

Deterministic secure quantum communication without unitary operation based on high-dimensional entanglement swapping

By analysis of the basic properties of entanglement swapping of high-dimensional Bell states,a universal and general deterministic secure quantum communication(DSQC)protocol is proposed,in which unitary operation is not required.By making use of the results of high-dimensional Bell measurement,the sender and the receiver can encode and decode the message respectively by performing the modular addition and subtraction.Two mutually complementary bases are constructed;and according to the property of mutual complement,a method for checking security of the high-dimensional quantum channel is put forward.Some common attack strategies are analyzed,and the corresponding error rates are calculated.Then the upper bound of the threshold of error rate is deduced.     

Perspective:Societally connected multimedia across cultures

The advance of the Internet in the past decade has radically changed the way people communicate and col- laborate with each other. Physical distance is no more a barrier in online social networks, but cultural differences (at the individual, community, as well as societal levels) still govern human-human interactions and must be con- sidered and leveraged in the online world. The rapid de-ployment of high-speed Internet allows humans to interact using a rich set of multimedia data such as texts, pictures, and videos. This position paper proposes to define a new research area called ’connected multimedia’, which is the study of a collection of research issues of the super-area social media that receive little attention in the literature. By connected multimedia, we mean the study of the social and technical interactions among users, multimedia data, and devices across cultures and explicitly exploiting the cultural differences. We justify why it is necessary to bring attention to this new research area and what benefits of this new research area may bring to the broader scientific research community and the humanity.     

结合模型匹配与特征跟踪的人体上半身三维运动姿态恢复方法

人体姿态空间的高维性及单目视频深度信息丢失,导致从单目视频恢复人体三维运动姿态非常困难,为此,利用特征跟踪的快速性及模型匹配的鲁棒性,提出一种无标记人体上半身三维运动跟踪方法.该方法利用匹配SIFT特征,并根据长度不变性约束建立优化目标函数,再采用迭代优化算法得到全局运动位姿;其他关节的姿态先根据逆运动学计算初始估计值,并通过模型匹配验证其可信度,当初始姿态估计错误时,则使用局部搜索获得关节姿态.实验结果表明,文中方法可以准确地恢复单目视频中人体上半身三维运动姿态.     

无线传感器网络中d-Hop 2-连通容错支配集的分布式构造算法

无线传感器网络随节点移动组成自我维持的自组织系统,采用连通支配集的虚拟骨干技术可使平面网络系统层次化而简化节点路由、管理和维护。但大规模无线传感器网络的连通支配集节点数目依然庞大,d-hop连通支配集可以大大减小支配集节点数目。另外,由于存在节点失效、链路断裂等无线特性,虚拟骨干网需要具备一定的容错性。在单位圆盘图网络模型中为构建精简且具有容错能力的虚拟骨干网,提出d-hop 2-连通支配集的分布式构造算法,先构造d-hop独立支配集后再连通形成d-hop 2-连通支配集。并从理论和仿真上对算法的复杂度、近似比和算法性能作了进一步探讨和验证。
