广义齐型Besov范数约束下的图像分解

为了将图像分解为分片光滑的结构部分和振荡部分,提出一种新的变分图像分解模型.该模型利用第二代曲波和局部余弦基分别表征含噪图像中的结构分量和纹理分量,并采用全变差半范约束分片光滑部分的结构性;同时利用 Meyer 所建议的广义齐型 Besov 范数对噪声分量进行约束;最后利用基追踪去噪算法对新模型进行迭代求解.理论分析和实验结果表明,该算法对噪声具有较强的鲁棒性,并使边缘和细小的纹理信息保持稳定.     

湖州市水环境承载力评价

基于水环境对社会经济和人口的支持能力,综述了水环境承载力的概念。从社会经济、资源环境和技术管理等角度分析了水环境承载力的主要影响因素并确定评价的指标体系。应用向量模法分析了2000-2006年湖州市水环境承载力,结果表明湖州市的水环境承载力水平较低,但呈逐年上升趋势,评价值由0.0511增加到0.0554。在主要的水环境支持因子中,技术管理因素对水环境的贡献增长速度最快,但自然资源因素是主要的不稳定因素。为了协调经济发展和环境保护,提高水环境承载力,开源节流,提高水资源量是维持水环境承载力的重要途径之一。

Mixed norm regularized recursive total least squares for group sparse system identification

A mixed l_p,0‐regularized recursive total least squares (RTLS) algorithm is considered for group sparse system identification. Regularized recursive least squares (RLS) has been successfully applied to group sparse system identification; however, the estimation performance in regularized RLS‐based algorithms deteriorates when both input and output are contaminated by noise (the error‐in‐variables problem). We propose an l_p,0‐RTLS algorithm to handle group sparse system identification with errors‐in‐variables. The proposed algorithm is an RLS‐like solution that utilizes l_p,0‐regularization. The proposed algorithm provides excellent performance as well as reduces the required complexity by effective inversion matrix handling. Simulations demonstrate the superiority of the proposed l_p,0‐regularized RTLS for a group sparse system identification setting. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Moral Argument in the Public Sphere: The Case of Bosnia

This paper uses a formal content analysis to decide what moral argument looks like in political debate. Does it involve more the abstract arguments and general principles of the philosophers or the devices of the rhetoricians, like ideographs, casuistry, and moral vocabulary? To test this question, we examine the U.S. debate over intervention in Bosnia between 1991 and 1995 as it showed up in the opinion pages of The New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, and The Washington Post.

A major, unexpected finding of the research is support for Appiah's (2010) argument against the New Intuitionists in psychology that outside the laboratory, the major moral work to be done is framing.     

Analysis of transient multiexponential signals using exponential compensation deconvolution

A three-step procedure for the parameter estimation of transient multiexponential signals is proposed. The first step involves the use of the classical Gardner transform to convert the data signal into a convolution model which is deconvolved using exponential compensation deconvolution technique in the second step. In the third step, eigenvector algorithms are used to process the resulting complex exponentials to obtain better estimates of decay rates and number of components. Simulation and experimental results show that this method outperforms previous approaches if a number of preprocessing parameters are correctly selected.     

基于四元极谐变换矩与显著特征的图像鲁棒哈希算法

为了增强哈希序列对各种几何变换攻击的鲁棒性,设计基于四元极谐变换矩与显著特征的图像鲁棒哈希算法。引入线性插值与自适应Wiener滤波器,实现初始图像的预处理;计算预处理图像的颜色向量角度,并基于Fourier变换,得到其对应的幅度信息,以获取两个不同的频谱;计算两个频谱的残差,确定图像中的局部显著性区域;通过LBP算子,提取显著特征;基于四元极谐变换(Quaternion Polar Harmonic Transform,QPHT),获取预处理图像的QPHT矩;联合显著特征与QPHT矩,形成过渡哈希数组。引入Logistic映射,定义加密函数,实现对过渡哈希数组的加密,输出最终的哈希序列,以增强其抗碰撞性能。测量源图像与可疑图像之间的哈希序列所对应的l₂范数距离,并将其与优化阈值比较,对图像的真实性做出判断。在多种几何变换攻击下完成测试,输出数据显示:较当前准确性较高的哈希方法而言,该算法具有更理想的鲁棒性与识别准确率。     

Accounting for no difference/preference responses or ties in choice experiments

The analysis of choice data in which no difference/preference responses, or ties, occur is considered in this paper. A key issue addressed in the paper is the need for “identicality norms” for difference and preference tests. These norms reflect the researcher’s expectation for the number of ties that would have occurred in the experiment had the products tested been putatively identical. Without these norms, the issue of how to account for ties can never be fully resolved. After this idea is developed, some methods from the statistics literature to account for ties are reviewed and the Thurstonian 2-AC (2-Alternative Choice) model is discussed. Common practices of equal or proportional redistribution of ties are noted to be either conservative or liberal, respectively, when the binomial distribution is used to evaluate results. In particular, the exact probability function for the equal allocation method is given as a particular type of mixing distribution, known as a convolution, of binomial probability functions. Regardless of which statistical method is used to test tied data, however, none of the current methods of analysis can account for segmentation or the effect of heterogeneity in individual assessors. To study the possible effect of heterogeneity, the data could first be tested against an identicality norm. Thus, this research clarifies the assumptions that are made when conducting tests on paired comparison data with ties and provides guidance on the choice of analytic method.
