The research on mechanism of color management system based on iCAM color appearance model

Since color recording and color representing abilities of various media are very different, color information is often lost or misrepresented in the process of image transmission and reproduction. A Color Management System (CMS) based on iCAM color appearance model is presented in this paper. It can be used either in computer operation system software or application software for obtaining color consistency across different software applications, imaging devices, imaging media and viewing conditions.     

Ordinal Optimization and Quantification of Heuristic Designs

This paper focuses on the performance evaluation of complex man-made systems, such as assembly lines, electric power grid, traffic systems, and various paper processing bureaucracies, etc. For such problems, applying the traditional optimization tool of mathematical programming and gradient descent procedures of continuous variables optimization are often inappropriate or infeasible, as the design variables are usually discrete and the accurate evaluation of the system performance via a simulation model can take too much calculation. General search type and heuristic methods are the only two methods to tackle the problems. However, the “goodness” of heuristic methods is generally difficult to quantify while search methods often involve extensive evaluation of systems at many design choices in a large search space using a simulation model resulting in an infeasible computation burden. The purpose of this paper is to address these difficulties simultaneously by extending the recently developed methodology of Ordinal Optimization (OO). Uniform samples are taken out from the whole search space and evaluated with a crude but computationally easy model when applying OO. And, we argue, after ordering via the crude performance estimates, that the lined-up uniform samples can be seen as an approximate ruler. By comparing the heuristic design with such a ruler, we can quantify the heuristic design, just as we measure the length of an object with a ruler. In a previous paper we showed how to quantify a heuristic design for a special case but we did not have the OO ruler idea at that time. In this paper we propose the OO ruler idea and extend the quantifying method to the general case and the multiple independent results case. Experimental results of applying the ruler are also given to illustrate the utility of this approach.

Towards capacity and profit optimization of video-on-demand services in a peer-assisted IPTV platform

This paper studies the conditions under which peer-to-peer (P2P) technology may be beneficial in providing IPTV services over typical network architectures. It has three major contributions. First, we contrast two network models used to study the performance of such a system: a commonly used logical “Internet as a cloud” model and a “physical” model that reflects the characteristics of the underlying network. Specifically, we show that the cloud model overlooks important architectural aspects of the network and may drastically overstate the benefits of P2P technology. Second, we propose an algorithm called Zebra that pre-stripes content across multiple peers during idle hours to speed up P2P content delivery in an IPTV environment with limited upload bandwidth. We also perform simulations to measure Zebra’s effectiveness at reducing load on the content server during peak hours. Third, we provide a cost-benefit analysis of P2P video content delivery, focusing on the profit trade-offs for different pricing/incentive models rather than purely on capacity maximization. In particular, we find that under high volume of video demand, a P2P built-in incentive model performs better than any other model, while the conventional no-P2P model generates more profits when the request rate is low. The flat-reward model generally falls in between the usage-based model and the built-in model in terms of profitability except for low request rates. We also find that built-in and flat-reward models are more profitable than the usage-based model for a wide range of subscriber community sizes. Funding for J.

基于网络状态参数估计的主动队列管理PI改进算法

作为一种重要的主动队列管理手段,PI控制器算法通过积分嚣的引入有效地消除了队列长度控制的稳态误差,在提高网络吞吐的同时缩短了排队时延.但是PI控制器不能根据网络状态变化而自动调整控制参数,故当网络流量变化时PI控制器的收敛速度很慢.基于TCP-AQM系统模型,对经过中间节点的活动连接数、平均往返时间和前向链路容量等3个参数进行估计.通过计算击中概率的倒数,估计出活动流数;通过计算单位时间的数据包数,估计出网络容量;通过往返时延、活动流数、网络容量以及丢包概率在稳态时的关系式,估算出平均往返时延.在此基础上,提出了对网络状态变化自适应调整控制参数改进的快速收敛PI算法——FCPI算法.仿真结果表明,该算法有效提高了算法的收敛速度,并且鲁棒性好,易于实现,适用于未来高速网络的路由器.

Phase adjustment for multistatic passive radar imaging based on image entropy and image contrast

Multistatic passive radar imaging system (MPRIS) does not behave as well as traditional inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging system does on account of the limited illuminators of opportunity and relatively narrow bandwidth of the signals. Furthermore, in the MPRIS, limited by the unavoidable measurement errors of the positions of the illuminators or receivers, or the manoeuvrability of the moving target, the translation motion of the target cannot be compensated accurately, in which the echo will be contaminated by an error phase, resulting in the occurrence of serious image defocus and the degeneracy of the image quality. In this article, two nonparametric autofocusing techniques based on the principles of minimum entropy and maximum contrast, respectively, are proposed to deal with the undesired problems under the multistate geographical configuration consisting of one illuminator and several receivers distributed around a target. The error phase is corrected by introducing an adjustment phase in the frequency domain and the adjustment phase can be searched by iteratively solving an equation that is derived by optimizing the quality measure of the image. Since no assumption is made during the derivation, the proposed techniques could be used to compensate any form of the phase error. In addition, the influence of the multistatic configuration on the image resolution is analysed and an optimized configuration is obtained. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is verified via the theoretical derivations and simulations.
