基于小波变换和Retinex算法的显著性检测

近些年来,关于图像显著性检测的研究越来越热门。基于之前提出的很多算法产生的显著图都存在背景信息杂乱、干扰噪声多、细节丢失等问题,本文提出了一种基于小波变换和Retinex算法的显著性检测算法来解决以上问题。首先,利用Retinex算法对图像进行前期处理;然后,对前期处理过的图像进行SLIC超像素分割,对超像素进行小波变换,分别生成原始图像低频部分和高频部分的特征图,并进行适当的双边滤波降噪,生成对应的显著图;最后,通过加权组合这两种显著图,得到最终的显著性图。实验结果表明,本文提出的算法生成的显著图具有受背景影响小、噪声少以及细节突出等优势。     

Dynamic thread mapping of shared memory applications by exploiting cache coherence protocols

In current computer architectures, the communication performance between threads varies depending on the memory hierarchy. This performance difference must be considered when mapping parallel applications to processor cores. In parallel applications based on the shared memory paradigm, the communication is difficult to detect because it is implicit. Furthermore, dynamic mapping introduces several challenges, since it needs to find a suitable mapping and migrate the threads with a low overhead during the execution of the application. We propose a mechanism to detect the communication pattern of shared memory applications by monitoring cache coherence protocols. We also propose heuristics that, combined with our communication detection mechanism, allow the mapping to be performed dynamically by the operating system. Experiments with the NAS Parallel Benchmarks showed a reduction of up to 13.9% of the execution time, 30.5% of the cache misses and 39.4% of the number of invalidation messages.

Classification of cardiac sound signals using constrained tunable-Q wavelet transform

The features extracted from the cardiac sound signals are commonly used for detection and identification of heart valve disorders. In this paper, we present a new method for classification of cardiac sound signals using constrained tunable-Q wavelet transform (TQWT). The proposed method begins with a constrained TQWT based segmentation of cardiac sound signals into heart beat cycles. The features obtained from heart beat cycles of separately reconstructed heart sounds and murmur can better represent the various types of cardiac sound signals than that from containing both. Therefore, heart sounds and murmur have been separated using constrained TQWT. Then the proposed novel raw feature set has been created by the parameters that have been optimized while constraining the output of TQWT together with that of extracted by using time-domain representation and Fourier–Bessel (FB) expansion of separated heart sounds and murmur. However, the adaptively selected features have been used to obtain the final feature set for subsequent classification of cardiac sound signals using least squares support vector machine (LS-SVM) with various kernel functions. The performance of the proposed method has been validated with publicly available datasets and the results have been compared with the existing short-time Fourier transform (STFT) based method. The proposed method shows higher percentage classification accuracy of 94.01 as compared to 93.53 of STFT based method. In comparison with STFT based method, it is noteworthy that the proposed method uses well defined and lower dimensionality of feature vector that can reduce the computational complexity.

结合小波变换的梯度场图像渐进融合算法

基于梯度场的图像融合算法只适用于尺度差异不大于1∶4的多光谱图像与全色图像。针对尺度差异为1∶8的北京一号卫星多光谱图像及高分辨率全色图像的融合问题,提出一种结合小波变换的梯度场图像尺度渐进融合算法。利用小波变换方法将多光谱图像与高分辨率全色图像尺度差异倍数缩小,得到基于小波变换的初级融合,再进行基于梯度场的Poisson图像融合。实验结果表明,渐进融合图像与多光谱图像的平均颜色差异值为23.5,与高分辨率全色图像的平均梯度差异值为2.1,多尺度纹理特征值差异值分别为3.98、10.2、18.9,渐进融合图像与高分辨率全色图像的空间细节和纹理细节吻合程度更好。     

PERIODIC CORRELATION IN STRATOSPHERIC OZONE DATA

Abstract. A 50-year time series of monthly stratospheric ozone readings from Arosa, Switzerland, is analyzed. The time series exhibits the properties of a periodically correlated (PC) random sequence with annual periodicities. Spectral properties of PC random sequences are reviewed and a test to detect periodic correlation is presented. An autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) model with periodically varying coefficients (PARMA) is fitted to the data in two stages. First, a periodic autoregressive model is fitted to the data. This fit yields residuals that are stationary but non-white. Next, a stationary ARMA model is fitted to the residuals and the two models are combined to produce a larger model for the data. The combined model is shown to be a PARMA model and yields residuals that have the correlation properties of white noise.

Exploring the Interactions of Storylines from Informative News Events

Today＇s news readers can be easily overwhelmed by the numerous news articles online. To cope with information overload, online news media publishes timelines for continuously developing news topics. However, the timeline summary does not show the relationship of storylines, and is not intuitive for readers to comprehend the development of a complex news topic. In this paper, we study a novel problem of exploring the interactions of storylines in a news topic. An interaction of two storylines is signified by informative news events that play a key role in both storylines. Storyline interactions can indicate key phases of a news topic, and reveal the latent connections among various aspects of the story. We address the coherence between news articles which is not considered in traditional similarity-based methods, and discover salient storyline interactions to form a clear, global picture of the news topic. User preference can be naturally integrated into our method to generate query-specific results. Comprehensive experiments on ten news topics show the effectiveness of our method over alternative approaches.
