In this paper we perform classification on Grassmannians to demonstrate that sufficient discriminatory information persists in feature patch (e.g., nose or eye patch) illumination spaces. We further employ the use of Karcher mean on the Grassmannians to demonstrate that this compressed representation can accelerate computations with relatively minor sacrifice on performance. The combination of these two ideas introduces a novel perspective in performing face recognition.展开更多

The new theory, compressive sensing, pro- vides a very easy and computationally cheap coding scheme for onboard astronomical remote sensing. An algorithm for small moving space object detection and localization is proposed. The algorithm determines the measurements of objects by comparing the difference between the measurements of the current image and the measurements of the background scene. In contrast to reconstruct the whole image, only a foreground image is recon- structed, which will lead to an effective computational performance, and a high level of localization accuracy is achieved. Experiments and analysis are provided to show the performance of the pro- posed approach on detection and localization.展开更多

The downlinkrate using X-band with an L2 halo orbit is estimated to be of only 5.35 GB/d. However, the Next GenerationSpace Telescope (NGST) will produce about 600 GB/d. Clearly the volume of data to downlink must be re-duced by at least a factor of 100. One of the resolutions is to encode the data using very low bit rate image com-pression techniques. An very low bit rate image compression method based on region of interest(ROI) has beenproposed for deep space image. The conventional image compression algorithms which encode the original datawithout any data analysis can maintain very good details and haven' t high compression rate while the modernimage compressions with semantic organization can have high compression rate even to be hundred and can' tmaintain too much details. The algorithms based on region of interest inheriting from the two previews algorithmshave good semantic features and high fidelity, and is therefore suitable for applications at a low bit rate. Theproposed method extracts the region of interest by texture analysis after wavelet transform and gains optimal localquality with bit rate control. The Result shows that our method can maintain more details in ROI than generalimage compression algorithm(SPIHT) under the condition of sacrificing the quality of other uninterested areas.展开更多

The Cons...Multispectral time delay and integration charge coupled device （TDICCD） image compression requires a low- complexity encoder because it is usually completed on board where the energy and memory are limited. The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems （CCSDS） has proposed an image data compression （CCSDS-IDC） algorithm which is so far most widely implemented in hardware. However, it cannot reduce spectral redundancy in mukispectral images. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity improved CCSDS-IDC （ICCSDS-IDC）-based distributed source coding （DSC） scheme for multispectral TDICCD image consisting of a few bands. Our scheme is based on an ICCSDS-IDC approach that uses a bit plane extractor to parse the differences in the original image and its wavelet transformed coefficient. The output of bit plane extractor will be encoded by a first order entropy coder. Low-density parity-check-based Slepian-Wolf （SW） coder is adopted to implement the DSC strategy. Experimental results on space multispectral TDICCD images show that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms the CCSDS-IDC-based coder in each band.展开更多

The optimized coarse/fine aggregates volume content of SCC was discussed with regard to specified properties. Results indicate there is a close relationship between aggregate space coefficient and properties of SCC not only in fresh state but also in hardened state. With the increasing coarse/fine aggregate space coefficients,workability of fresh SCC will be improved,the compressive strength decreases slightly and shrinkage of SCC however increases. When coarse aggregate space coefficient ranges from 1.2 to 1.7 and the fine aggregate space coefficients is from 0.6 to 1.0,SCC can meet self-compactability requirements in fresh state and have a good volume stability and appropriate strength in hardened state. The results will benefits for developing a new mixing design method for SCC.展开更多

Thus while a random sampling matrix is used to guide the establishment of links between head cluster and sensor nodes, the random linear projection is accomplished. To establish multiple links at the same time, an optical space division multiple access antenna is designed. It works in fixed beams switching mode and consists of optic lens with a large field of view（FOV）, fiber array on the focal plane which is used to realize virtual channels segmentation, direction of arrival sensor, optical matrix switch and controller. Based on the angles of nodes＇ laser beams, by dynamically changing the route, optical matrix switch actualizes the multi-beam full duplex tracking receiving and transmission. Due to the structure of fiber array, there will be several fade zones both in the focal plane and in lens＇ FOV. In order to lower the impact of fade zones and harmonize multibeam, a fiber array adjustment is designed. By theoretical, simulated and experimental study, the antenna＇s qualitative feasibility is validated.展开更多

This is an efficient means of early detection of breast cancer. Archiving and retaining these data for at least three years is expensive, diffi-cult and requires sophisticated data compres-sion techniques. We propose a lossless com-pression method that makes use of the smoothness property of the images. In the first step, de-correlation of the given image is done using two efficient predictors. The two residue images are partitioned into non overlapping sub-images of size 4x4. At every instant one of the sub-images is selected and sent for coding. The sub-images with all zero pixels are identi-fied using one bit code. The remaining sub- images are coded by using base switching method. Special techniques are used to save the overhead information. Experimental results indicate an average compression ratio of 6.44 for the selected database.展开更多

Here we report that the lines of subjective simultaneity defined as two spatially separated flashes perceived during saccades were nearly uniformly tilted along the physical time-course. The causality of the resulting space-time compression may be explained by the Minkowski space-time diagram in physics.展开更多

The scattered waves are constructed using fictitious wave sources close to the boundary of the cavity, and their magnitudes are determined by the boundary conditions. Verification of the accuracy is performed by： （1） checking the satisfaction extent of the boundary conditions, （2） comparing the degenerated solutions of a single-phased case with well- known solutions, and （3） examining the numerical stability of the solutions. The nature of diffraction of plane SV waves around a cavity in a poroelastic half-space is investigated by numerical examples.
文摘Mammography is a specific type of imaging that uses low-dose x-ray system to examine breasts. This is an efficient means of early detection of breast cancer. Archiving and retaining these data for at least three years is expensive, diffi-cult and requires sophisticated data compres-sion techniques. We propose a lossless com-pression method that makes use of the smoothness property of the images. In the first step, de-correlation of the given image is done using two efficient predictors. The two residue images are partitioned into non overlapping sub-images of size 4x4. At every instant one of the sub-images is selected and sent for coding. The sub-images with all zero pixels are identi-fied using one bit code. The remaining sub- images are coded by using base switching method. Special techniques are used to save the overhead information. Experimental results indicate an average compression ratio of 6.44 for the selected database.
文摘The space-time distortion perceived subjectively during saccadic eye movements is an associative phenomenon of a transient shift of observer’s visual frame of reference from one position to another. Here we report that the lines of subjective simultaneity defined as two spatially separated flashes perceived during saccades were nearly uniformly tilted along the physical time-course. The causality of the resulting space-time compression may be explained by the Minkowski space-time diagram in physics.
