以一种新的距离度量作为反馈的相关跟踪方法

基于相关的模板匹配方法在图像跟踪中得到了广泛的应用,但是这种方法的主要缺点是对图像噪声非常敏感,而且由这种方法得出的相关曲面比较平坦。为了有效抑制噪声和局部遮挡对图像的影响,提出用鲁棒统计中的一个值代替相关值作为距离度量。它不是计算两幅图像的对应像素差值,而是计算两幅图像中差别不大的对应像素对的个数。实验证明这样得到的曲面相对　　收稿日期:2003 08 31;　修订日期:2003 10 28作者简介:张桂林(1944 ),男,天津人,教授,博士生导师,主要研究方向为自动识别、人体生物统计特征识别、图像处理算法与系统性能评估等。　　　　　　　要尖锐得多。当上述的距离度量应用于跟踪过程中时,模板的合理更新对跟踪非常重要。基于上述的距离度量方法,提出了一种新的模板更新策略。利用两幅图像中近似像素在整修匹配模板像素中所占的比例大小决定加权系数。这种加权策略可以自适应地根据图像序列的变化选择更新相关模板,同时在一定程度上减小模板漂移的危险。     

Solving the small sample size problem in face recognition using generalized discriminant analysis

The goal of face recognition is to distinguish persons via their facial images. Each person's images form a cluster, and a new image is recognized by assigning it to the correct cluster. Since the images are very high-dimensional, it is necessary to reduce their dimension. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) has been shown to be effective at dimension reduction while preserving the cluster structure of the data. It is classically defined as an optimization problem involving covariance matrices that represent the scatter within and between clusters. The requirement that one of these matrices be nonsingular restricts its application to datasets in which the dimension of the data does not exceed the sample size. For face recognition, however, the dimension typically exceeds the number of images in the database, resulting in what is referred to as the small sample size problem. Recently, the applicability of LDA has been extended by using the generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) to circumvent the nonsingularity requirement, thus making LDA directly applicable to face recognition data. Our experiments confirm that LDA/GSVD solves the small sample size problem very effectively as compared with other current methods.     

Education-driven research in CAD

We argue for a new research category, named education-driven research (EDR), which fills the gap between traditional field-specific research that is not concerned with educational objectives and research in education that focuses on fundamental teaching and learning principles and possibly on their customization to broad areas (such as mathematics or physics), but not to specific disciplines (such as CAD). The objective of EDR is to simplify the formulation of the underlying theoretical foundations and of specific tools and solutions in a specialized domain, so as to make them easy to understand and internalize. As such, EDR is a difficult and genuine research activity, which requires a deep understanding of the specific field and can rarely be carried out by generalists with primary expertise in broad education principles. We illustrate the concept of EDR with three examples in CAD: (1) the Split and Tweak subdivisions of a polygon and its use for generating curves, surfaces, and animations; (2) the construction of a topological partition of a plane induced by an arbitrary arrangement of edges; and (3) a romantic definition of the minimal and Hausdorff distances. These examples demonstrate the value of using analogies, of introducing evocative terminology, and of synthesizing the simplest fundamental building blocks. The intuitive understanding provided by EDR enables the students (and even the instructor) to better appreciate the limitations of a particular solution and to explore alternatives. In particular, in these examples, EDR has allowed the author to: (1) reduce the cost of evaluating a cubic B-spline curve; (2) develop a new subdivision curve that is better approximated by its control polygon than either a cubic B-spline or an interpolating 4-point subdivision curve; (3) discover how a circuit inclusion tree may be used for identifying the faces in an arrangement; and (4) rectify a common misconception about the computation of the Hausdorff error between triangle meshes. We invite the scientific community to encourage the development of EDR by publishing its results as genuine research contributions in peer-reviewed professional journals.

基于带约束人工蜂群算法和平均Hausdorff距离的重力匹配方法

重力匹配算法是实现重力辅助惯性导航系统的关键技术之一。但是,传统重力匹配方法存在复杂度高、应用范围小等缺陷,一般很难实现精确、快速匹配的效果。将人工蜂群算法用于重力匹配的搜索过程,并将多普勒测速仪提供的速度信息作为限制条件对蜂群搜索过程进行约束。在此基础上,利用平均Hausdorff距离对匹配结果进行筛选,在重力数据库中重力异常精度一定的条件下,可降低误配率。仿真结果表明,该匹配算法在重力特征显著的区域具有较高的匹配率,可以达到精确、快速的匹配定位,从而实现重力辅助导航。     

二维条形码在机关公文管理中的应用

办公自动化系统的发展和应用,对于政府转变职能,提高办公效率起到了举足轻重的作用,但是在实际应用过程中也碰到了很多问题,其中之一就是对公文的管理。传统办公自动化系统的目标是实现办公全过程的＂无纸化＂,即把纸质文件转化为电子文件进行流转。但在目前国情下,要一步实现无纸化办公,还面临很多困难,因此政府机关不得不将纸质文件流和电子文件流并行运行,从而导致需要分发交换的纸质文件和文件的电子信息脱节。通过将条码技术引入到公文管理中,生成含有文件信息的二维条码,从而实现纸质文件和文件的电子信息完全同步。     

红外与可见光复合寻的制导中的快速图像配准方法

对现有多传感器图像配准方法在红外与可见光复合寻的制导应用中存在的计算量大等不足,提出了一种基于部分Hausdorff距离的快速方法和一种两集合相似度的定义,从而实现了有效减小误匹配特征点对的红外与可见光图像快速配准方法.此算法通过分别提取两幅图像边缘上显著特征点,再根据提出的快速方法和两集合相似度定义,粗略估计出图像间的旋转角度、平移量;然后依据此估计值,缩小特征点匹配时匹配特征点搜索范围,求得一致特征点对;最后用最小二乘法求解最优变换参数.实验结果表明了该方法的有效性、快速性.
