A model validation approach to texture recognition and inpainting

A new approach to texture recognition and inpainting problems is proposed. The approach is based on the robust model validation and state estimation techniques. The proposed solutions require the modeling of textures by using uncertain dynamical systems. We propose a new modeling method which is efficient in terms of computational and memory requirements. The main aspects of the modeling method include system identification and order reduction of marginally stable uncertain discrete-time systems. To demonstrate the results, both static-image textures and video textures (also known as dynamic textures) are considered.     

2D operators on topographic and non‐topographic architectures—implementation,efficiency analysis,and architecture selection methodology

Topographic and non‐topographic image processing architectures and chips, developed within the CNN community recently, are analyzed and compared. It is achieved on a way that the 2D operators are collected to classes according to their implementation methods on the different architectures, and the main implementation parameters of the different operator classes are compared. Based on the results, an efficient architecture selection methodology is formalized. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Experimental characterization of sheet metal deformation during electro-hydraulic forming

A novel experimental technique, that combines high-speed imaging and digital image correlation techniques, has been developed and applied to investigate the high-rate deformation behavior of aluminum sheet during electro-hydraulic forming (EHF). Aluminum alloy AA5182-O sheets (1 mm thick and ∼152 mm diameter) were EHF deformed by high-energy (up to ∼21 kJ) pressure-pulse and the time-evolution of sheet-displacement, velocity, strain and strain-rate quantified. The data shows that different locations on the sheet undergo unique deformation history that is not apparent from the conventional post-mortem strain measurement (using etched circle/grid pattern) approach. Under the experimental conditions used in this work, the sheets were formed into domes and the maximum strain-rate observed was ∼664/s. Further, this maximum strain-rate was observed at an off-apex location and was ∼2.5 times greater than the maximum strain-rate at the dome apex. The maximum velocity observed was ∼100 m/s and the velocity-time data showed evidence of pressure-wave reverberations during the forming process. We believe that knowledge of such time-evolution of sheet deformation is necessary for a better understanding and accurate modeling of sheet formability that has often been reported to exceed quasi-static forming limits under high-rate forming conditions.     

Considerations on direct stream flow measurements using video imagery: Outlook and research needs

The paper presents measurements acquired with Large-Scale Particle Image Velocimetry (LSPIV) during normal flows and floods in the Iowa River (U.S.A). For normal flows, comparison is made with measurements obtained with Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) in order to test LSPIV’s performance and to address concerns potentially affecting the accuracy of the measurements. The historic flood of the Iowa River during the summer of 2008 was captured for testing LSPIV capabilities during extreme flows. Lacking alternative measurements during the flood, the LSPIV measurements are compared to the rating curve extrapolated for high flows using a one-to-one discharge–stage relationship. The comparison reveals limitations of the single-values rating curve for providing discharge estimates during high flows. Finally, the paper summarizes lessons learned during these and previous LSPIV studies with the intent to chart the research needed to enhance this promising non-intrusive field measurement technique.     

A novel colour image encryption algorithm based on chaos

In this paper, a novel colour image encryption algorithm based on chaos has been proposed. We use chaotic system to encrypt the R, G, B components of a colour image at the same time and make these three components affect each other. So the correlations between R, G, B components can be reduced and the security of algorithm is increased. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can encrypt colour image effectively and resist various typical attacks.
