主动学习的白细胞图像自动分割

提出利用极端学习机算法(ELM)在线构建像素分类模型分割白细胞图像。训练阶段根据白细胞核深染色的特点,先利用一个Mean-shift过程在RGB空间定位白细胞核区;再经核区形态学膨胀,得到一个熵与面积之比最大的区域作为正样本候选区域,而此区域外像素则作为负样本候选区域;通过正负样本像素抽样组成训练集,能在线训练得到一个两分类ELM模型。多次抽样得到的训练集可以产生多个ELM模型。测试阶段利用上述ELM模型集成分类全体像素,可实现白细胞自动分割。与传统图像分割算法相比,本文方法基本无参数调整,可自适应光照和染色条件导致的图像颜色变化,分割效果好。相关实验结果表明算法的有效性。     

基于距离变换的改进分水岭算法在白细胞图像分割中的应用

在白细胞图像中,由于白细胞细胞核的存在,直接应用分水岭算法时,往往达不到较好的效果。本文提出一种结合EM聚类的改进分水岭算法。通过将EM聚类获得的图像中细胞核区域替换,然后使用基于距离变换的分水岭分割,确定白细胞区域。对距离变换后的图像采用形态学处理减少了细胞分割中的过分割现象。同时使用细胞核位置的先验条件,合并分水岭分割区域,进一步减小过分割的影响。本文方法提供一种新的将分水岭算法应用于白细胞分割的思路。同时实验证明,方法在分割精度上有着良好的表现。

区域GMM聚类的SAR图像分割

高斯混合模型(GMM)聚类算法近年来广泛应用于图像分割领域。但在SAR图像分割中,由于忽略了图像像素间的空间相关性,使其对相干斑噪声十分敏感。提出一种基于区域的GMM聚类算法,它将空间相关性引入聚类分类中,利用分水岭分割得到基本同质区域,计算区域的灰度均值作为GMM聚类算法的输入样本,将聚类特征从像素水平提升到区域水平,减少了噪声对分割结果的影响;并将自身反馈机制引入期望最大化(EM)算法中,进一步提高了GMM模型参数估计的精度。还对合成图像和真实SAR图像进行了分割实验,结果表明新算法可有效地提高分割的

基于物理模型的彩色图像分割

本文给出一个基于光学物理模型的真实彩色图像分割算法.算法首先对图像上的颜色变 化(由光照和物体颜色引起)进行分析与综合,然后分割图像.算法的基础是双色反射模型理 论,该理论认为反射光的颜色是界面反射(耀斑颜色)和本体反射(物体颜色)的线性组合,这两 种反射光在颜色空间的三维直方图中形成特定的聚类(点簇).因此分析聚类的性质可帮助确 定光照和物体的颜色,但是有意义的聚类的生成又以图像中物体区域的确定为前提.算法按 照假设检验的策略,依据图像中的连通性和颜色空间中聚类的特征,完成彩色图像的分割,并 产生对景物中所发生的光学过程的物理描述.该描述包括本征反射图像、分割图像、物体和光 照颜色的符号描述.本征反射图像包括只反映界面反射的耀斑图像和从原图像中去除耀斑影 响后的本体图像.

Only connect: teaching, technology and telesis

Abstract This paper describes an approach to the design of interactive multimedia materials being developed in a European Community project. The developmental process is seen as a dialogue between technologists and teachers. This dialogue is often problematic because of the differences in training, experience and culture between them. Conditions needed for fruitful dialogue are described and the generic model for learning design used in the project is explained.     

European Community policy and the market

Abstract This paper starts with some reflections on the policy considerations and priorities which are shaping European Commission (EC) research programmes. Then it attempts to position the current projects which seek to capitalise on information and communications technologies for learning in relation to these priorities and the apparent realities of the marketplace. It concludes that while there are grounds to be optimistic about the contribution EC programmes can make to the efficiency and standard of education and training, they are still too technology driven.

Avoiding semantic and temporal gaps in developing software intensive systems

Development of software intensive systems (systems) in practice involves a series of self-contained phases for the lifecycle of a system. Semantic and temporal gaps, which occur among phases and among developer disciplines within and across phases, hinder the ongoing development of a system because of the interdependencies among phases and among disciplines. Such gaps are magnified among systems that are developed at different times by different development teams, which may limit reuse of artifacts of systems development and interoperability among the systems. This article discusses such gaps and a systems development process for avoiding them.     

Designing economic np control charts: A programmed simulation approach

This paper presents control charts models and the necessary simulation software for the location of economic values of the control parameters. The simulation program is written in FORTRAN, requires only 10K of main storage, and can run on most mini and micro computers. Two models are presented - one describes the process when it is operating at full capacity and the other when the process is operating under capacity. The models allow the product quality to deteriorate to a further level before an existing out-of-control state is detected, and they can also be used in situations where no prior knowledge exists of the out-of-control causes and the resulting proportion defectives.     

The development of robot art

Going through a few examples of robot artists who are recognized worldwide, we try to analyze the deepest meaning of what is called “robot art” and the related art field definition. We also try to highlight its well-marked borders, such as kinetic sculptures, kinetic art, cyber art, and cyberpunk. A brief excursion into the importance of the context, the message, and its semiotics is also provided, case by case, together with a few hints on the history of this discipline in the light of an artistic perspective. Therefore, the aim of this article is to try to summarize the main characteristics that might classify robot art as a unique and innovative discipline, and to track down some of the principles by which a robotic artifact can or cannot be considered an art piece in terms of social, cultural, and strictly artistic interest. This work was presented in part at the 13th International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, Oita, Japan, January 31–February 2, 2008     

Explanation and prediction: an architecture for default and abductive reasoning

Although there are many arguments that logic is an appropriate tool for artificial intelligence, there has been a perceived problem with the monotonicity of classical logic. This paper elaborates on the idea that reasoning should be viewed as theory formation where logic tells us the consequences of our assumptions. The two activities of predicting what is expected to be true and explaining observations are considered in a simple theory formation framework. Properties of each activity are discussed, along with a number of proposals as to what should be predicted or accepted as reasonable explanations. An architecture is proposed to combine explanation and prediction into one coherent framework. Algorithms used to implement the system as well as examples from a running implementation are given.     

Three Process Perspectives: Organizations, Teams, and People

This paper provides the author's personal views and perspectives on software process improvement. Starting with his first work on technology assessment in IBM over 20 years ago, Watts Humphrey describes the process improvement work he has been directly involved in. This includes the development of the early process assessment methods, the original design of the CMM, and the introduction of the Personal Software Process (PSP)^SM and Team Software Process (TSP){^SM}. In addition to describing the original motivation for this work, the author also reviews many of the problems he and his associates encountered and why they solved them the way they did. He also comments on the outstanding issues and likely directions for future work. Finally, this work has built on the experiences and contributions of many people. Mr. Humphrey only describes work that he was personally involved in and he names many of the key contributors. However, so many people have been involved in this work that a full list of the important participants would be impractical.     

基于复小波噪声方差显著修正的SAR图像去噪

提出了一种基于复小波域统计建模与噪声方差估计显著性修正相结合的合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar,SAR)图像斑点噪声滤波方法。该方法首先通过对数变换将乘性噪声模型转化为加性噪声模型,然后对变换后的图像进行双树复小波变换(Dualtree Complex Wavelet Transform,DCWT),并对复数小波系数的统计分布进行建模。在此先验分布的基础上,通过运用贝叶斯估计方法从含噪系数中恢复原始系数,达到滤除噪声的目的。实验结果表明该方法在去除噪声的同时保留了图像的细节信息,取得了很好的降噪效果。
