A variational method for contour tracking via covariance matching

This paper presents a novel formulation for contour tracking.We model the second-order statistics of image regions and perform covariance matching under the variational level set framework.Specifically,covariance matrix is adopted as a visual object representation for partial differential equation(PDE) based contour tracking.Log-Euclidean calculus is used as a covariance distance metric instead of Euclidean distance which is unsuitable for measuring the similarities between covariance matrices,because the matrices typically lie on a non-Euclidean manifold.A novel image energy functional is formulated by minimizing the distance metric between the candidate object region and a given template,and maximizing the one between the background region and the template.The corresponding gradient flow is then derived according to a variational approach,enabling partial differential equations(PDEs) based contour tracking.Experiments on several challenging sequences prove the validity of the proposed method.     

Binary particle swarm optimization with multiple evolutionary strategies

This paper introduces a novel variation of binary particle swarm optimization(BPSO) algorithm and a further extension to improve its performance.Firstly,mimicking the behaviors of some creatures group,multiple evolutionary strategies BPSO(MBPSO) is introduced which takes different evolutionary strategies for various particles according to their performances.Then,on the basis of MBPSO,a new strategy is discussed to improve the performance of the MBPSO(M2BPSO) which adopts the concept of the mutation operator aiming to overcome the premature convergence and slow convergent speed during the later stages of the optimization.The proposed two algorithms are tested on seven benchmark functions and their results are compared with those obtained by other methods.Experimental results show that our methods outperform the other algorithms.     

Localized relaxation theory of circuits and its applications in electro-thermal analyses

In the high-performance IC design with increasing design complexity,it is a very important design content to efficiently analyze IC parameters.Thus,the electro-thermal (ET) analyses including power/ground (P/G) analysis and thermal analysis are hot topics in today’s IC research.Since ET analysis equation has a sparse,positive definite and strictly diagonally dominant coefficient-matrix,we prove that the ET analysis has the advantage of locality.Owing to this advantage,localized relaxation method is formally proposed,which has the same accuracy as the global relaxation done with the constraint of the same truncation error limitation.Based on the localized relaxation theory,an efficient and practical localized successive over-relaxation algorithm (LSOR2) is introduced and applied to solve the following three ET analysis problems.(1) Single-node statistical voltage analysis for over-IR-drop nodes in P/G networks;(2) single-node statistical temperature analysis for hot spots in 3D thermal analysis;(3) fast single open-defect analysis for P/G networks.A large amount of experimental data demonstrates that compared with the global successive over-relaxation (SOR) algorithm,LSOR2 can speed up 1-2 orders of magnitudes with the same accuracy in ET analyses.

云计算是小型企业唯一的出路

云计算模型对于传统的信息技术工作方式产生了巨大的改变。与以往两次重大的信息技术变革,即客户端/服务器应用模式以及互联网的出现一样,推动云计算前进的两个重要动力就是可接入性以及成本。更简单的讲,就是如何才能让计算架构、平台和应用程序能够被更广泛的应用,以及如何让这些应用更廉价。实际上,这两者是相辅相成的:只要更廉价的技术出现,就会有更多人去使用这种技术。这两个驱动力对于小型企业来说是尤其具有价值的。随着技术越来越廉价,云技术可以让更多的小型企业采纳IT解决方案,从最简单
