应用改进的C-V模型分割牛肉眼肌图像

牛肉眼肌图像的分割是牛肉自动分级的重要步骤。基于水平集的C-V模型采用两个具有不同均值的分块连续区域分割图像,在迭代过程中,为了约束水平集保持为符号距离函数,必须对其进行重新初始化,大大增加了计算量,降低了曲线演化速度。为此,通过加入边缘检测函数和惩罚项因子,提出了改进的C-V水平集模型,并用于牛肉图像分割,同时与模糊C均值聚类、阈值分割法进行了对比。结果表明:采用改进的C-V模型对牛肉图像进行分割,准确提取了眼肌边缘,分割出了脂肪和肌肉区域,准确率高;曲线演化过程中无需对水平集函数符号初始化,加快了曲线演化速度。     

An agent-based signal processing in-node environment for real-time human activity monitoring based on wireless body sensor networks

Nowadays wireless body sensor networks (WBSNs) have great potential to enable a broad variety of assisted living applications such as human biophysical/biochemical control and activity monitoring for health care, e-fitness, emergency detection, emotional recognition for social networking, security, and highly interactive games. It is therefore important to define design methodologies and programming frameworks which enable rapid prototyping of WBSN applications. Several effective application development frameworks have been already proposed for WBSNs designed for TinyOS-based sensor platforms, e.g. CodeBlue, SPINE, and Titan. In this paper we present an application of MAPS, an agent framework for wireless sensor networks based on the Java-programmable Sun SPOT sensor platform, for the development of a real-time WBSN-based system for human activity monitoring. The agent-oriented programming abstractions provided by MAPS allow effective and rapid prototyping of the sensor-side software. In particular, the architecture of the developed system is a typical star-based WBSN composed of a coordinator node and two sensor nodes located respectively on the waist and the thigh of the monitored assisted living. The coordinator relies on a JADE-based enhancement of the SPINE coordinator and allows configuring sensors, receiving their data, and recognizing pre-defined human activities. On the other hand, each sensor node runs a MAPS-based agent that performs sensing of the 3-axial accelerometer sensor, computation of significant features on the acquired data, feature aggregation and transmission to the coordinator. The experimentation phase of the prototype, which allows evaluating the obtainable monitoring performances and activity recognition accuracy, is described. Moreover, a comparison of the monitoring system based on MAPS, AFME and SPINE in terms of programming effectiveness and system performances is discussed.     

An improved differential evolution algorithm for the task assignment problem

An improved differential evolution algorithm (IDE) is proposed to solve task assignment problem. The IDE is an improved version of differential evolution algorithm (DE), and it modifies two important parameters of DE algorithm: scale factor and crossover rate. Specially, scale factor is adaptively adjusted According to the objective function values of all candidate solutions, and crossover rate is dynamically adjusted with the increasement of iterations. The adaptive scale factor and dynamical crossover rate are combined to increase the diversity of candidate solutions, and to enhance the exploration capacity of solution space of the proposed algorithm. In addition, a usual penalty function method is adopted to trade-off the objective and the constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that the optimal solutions obtained by the IDE algorithm are all better than those obtained by the other two DE algorithms on solving some task assignment problems.     

基于Q学习算法的变论域模糊控制新算法

变论域模糊控制器的控制函数被＂复制＂到后代中,往往存在着＂失真＂现象,这种现象的后果是造成算法本身的误差.针对这一问题,本文提出了一种基于Q学习算法的变论域模糊控制优化设计方法.本算法在变论域模糊控制算法基础上提出了一种利用伸缩因子、等比因子相互协调来调整论域的构想,且通过用Q学习算法来寻优参数使控制器性能指标最小,使其在控制过程中能够降低＂失真率＂,从而进一步提高控制器性能.最后,把算法运用于一个二阶系统与非最小相位系统,实验表明,该算法不但具有很好的鲁棒性及动态性能,且与变论域模糊控制器比较起来,其控制性能也更加提高.     

A subject-specific software solution for the modeling and the visualization of muscles deformations

Today, to create and to simulate a virtual anatomical version of a subject is useful in the decision process of surgical treatments. The muscular activity is one of the factors which can contribute to abnormal movements such as in spasticity or static contracture. In this paper, we propose a numerical solution, based on the Finite Element (FE) method, able to estimate muscles deformations during contraction. Organized around a finite element solver and a volumetric environment, this solution is made of all the modeling and simulation processes from the discretization of the studied domain to the visualization of the results. The choices of materials and properties of the FE model are also presented such as the hyperelasticity, the contention model based on inter-meshes neighboring nodes pairing, and the estimation of nodal forces based on the subject-specific muscular forces and action lines.

Throughput analysis of STS-based CDMA system with variable spreading factor in non-frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel

The throughput enhancement of space-time spreading (STS)-based code division multiple access (CDMA) system is investigated in this paper. Variable spreading factor (VSF) is utilized to improve the data throughput of the system in non-frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. In this contribution, an analytical approach is proposed to compute a new expression for the bit error rate (BER) performance of the STS-based CDMA system against pre-despreading signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) for different values of spreading factor. The other contribution of the paper is deriving a new analytical expression for the throughput enhancement of the VSF STS-based CDMA system in non-frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel. Simulation and analytical results demonstrate that using VSF method in STS-based CDMA system improves the throughput of the system by keeping the BER performance at a target level.     

Effective solution for unhandled exception in decision tree induction algorithms

This paper deals with some improvements to rule induction algorithms in order to resolve the tie that appear in special cases during the rule generation procedure for specific training data sets. These improvements are demonstrated by experimental results on various data sets. The tie occurs in decision tree induction algorithm when the class prediction at a leaf node cannot be determined by majority voting. When there is a conflict in the leaf node, we need to find the source and the solution to the problem. In this paper, we propose to calculate the Influence factor for each attribute and an update procedure to the decision tree has been suggested to deal with the problem and provide subsequent rectification steps.
