Sparse Feature Matching and Deformation Propagation for Seamless Image Stitching
Ge Shi-ming, Cheng Yi-min, Zeng Dan, He Bing-bing
2007, 29(12): 2795-2799. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00687
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel approach for seamless image stitching which is based on sparse feature matching and deformation propagation. First, an optimal partitioning which minimizes the structure error is found in the overlap region between the registered images, and the target region is selected from one side of partition boundary. Then, the salient structure feature is detected and matched along the partition boundary, which gets some sparse deformation vectors corresponding to the matched feature points and their associated edge points. By solving Poisson equations, these sparse deformation cues will then be propagated robustly and smoothly into the interior of the target region in which the deformation vectors of all points are derived. Finally, the gradient map of the target region is derived by interpolating the deformation vectors, from which the result is reconstructed. The implement is convenient and fast, and complex feature detection is needless. The proposed approach can handle significant structure and intensity misalignment in image stitching simultaneously, and eliminate both structure seam and intensity seam globally. Compared to several other methods, obvious improvement is achieved.

Wu Yan, Liu Chong-yang, Liao Gui-sheng
2007, 29(12): 2800-2804. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00667
Abstract:
A new fusion method for fusing two spatially registered multi-focus images is proposed in this paper. It is based on multi-resolution wavelet decomposition, Self-Organizing Feature Map (SOFM) neural networks and Evolutionary Strategies (ES). First, a normalized feature image, which represents the local region clarity difference of two source images, is extracted by redundant wavelet transform, then the feature image is clustered by SOFM learning algorithm and every pixel pair in source images is classified into a certain class which indicates different clarity differences. Finally, to each pixel pair in different classes, different fusion factors are used to fuse it; these fusion factors are determined by evolution strategies to achieve the best fusion performance. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the Laplace transform and wavelet transform methods.

2007, 29(12): 2805-2809. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00708
Abstract:
To the issues of threat assessment (TA), a technique for TA based on Adaptive Neuro-Intuitionistic Fuzzy Inference System (ANIFIS) is proposed with intuitionistic fuzzy set theory introduced into the area of information fusion. First, the properties and vulnerabilities of the existing TA methods are analyzed. A model for TA on ANIFIS with Takagi-Sugeno type is established. Then, the attribute functions, i.e. membership and nonmembership functions, and the inference rules of the system variables are devised with computational relations between layers of input and output and a synthesized computational expression of system outputs ascertained. Subsequently, an analysis of global approximation property of the model is performed with a learning algorithm of neural net devised. Finally, the validity of the technique is checked and rationality of constructed model is verified by providing TA instances with 20 typical targets. The simulated results show that this method can enhance creditability of TA and improve quality of assessment with precision of synthetic values in reasoning output.
Tracking Algorithms Based on Improved Interacting Multiple Model Particle Filter
Liu Gui-xi, Gao En-ke, Fan Chun-yu
2007, 29(12): 2810-2813. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01267
Abstract:
The general Interacting Multiple Model (IMM) based on Kalman Filter (IMMKF) or Extended Kalman Filter (IMMEKF) can not deal with non-Guassian problems and also does not work so well as the IMM based on the particle filter for the nonlinear problems. The particle filter can deal with nonlinear/non-Guassian problems and it has been introduced to the algorithm of IMM for higher precision. However, the disadvantage of the particle filter is heavy computational load, because a particle filter usually has a lot of particles, which will increase the computational load greatly. Here an improved interacting multiple model particle filter, which combines Kalman filter and particle filter using multiple models, is proposed to improve the computational efficiency compared with the usual Interacting Multiple Model Particle Filter ( IMMPF). For nonlinear/non-Guassian problems, the new algorithm shows to possess a good performance as the IMMPF, while for linear problems it performs as well as the IMMEKF and works better than the IMMPF.

Zhu Qing-sheng, Liu Ran, Xu Xiao-yan, Xie Hong-bo, Yang Jun
2007, 29(12): 2814-2818. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00434
Abstract:
It is significant to convert planar images into stereo images. Hou et al. (2002) presented a method to realize the function and it is called Hou method. In this method, the parameters such as random variables are used to control the procedure, but the stereo effect that the parameters take on had not been discussed. Using Hou method, the planar image with psychological depth cue is converted into stereo on standard computer monitor. Quantitative criterions to evaluate the stereo effect after conversion are given. And further more, the stereo effect that the random variables take on is discussed. The results of the experiment show that, when every random variable in matrix has the same uniform distribution, different values of these random variables take little effect on stereo effect; when the distance between the monitor screen and the observer is a well chosen value (e.g. 1m), the number of the sub-block images takes little effect on stereo effect.

Wang Kai-bin, Yu Bian-zhang, Zhao Jian, Li Hai-ning, Xie Hong-mei
2007, 29(12): 2819-2821. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00767
Abstract:
Texture is often divided into lots of isolate areas when a texture image is segmented. This paper develops a new method for texture image segmentation. It uses Gabor wavelet to extract texture features, and then Chan and Vese model is employed to segment a texture image. Compared to other texture segmentation methods using Chan and Vese models, the proposed method has two advantages. First, by combining the gray levels of pixels and texture information of an image, this method can be used for segmentation of a texture image or a none-texture image. Second, the hierarchical method proposed in this paper can avoid the problem due to the choice of initial conditions. The segmentation tests for remote sensing and natural texture images prove the proposed segmentation method is accurate and efficient.

Lin Jing-ran, Peng Qi-cong, Shao Huai-zong, Ju Tai-liang
2007, 29(12): 2822-2826. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00535
Abstract:
A novel robust adaptive beamforming based on diagonal loading is proposed in this paper, aiming at robustness against steering vector mismatches in spatially colored noise fields. The received data is prewhitened first according to the noise covariance, with a corresponding ellipsoidal steering vector uncertainty set defined at the same time. Then the loading level is determined based on worst-case performance optimization. Other than searching for the optimal loading by iteration, a simple closed-form solution is suggested after some approximations. Besides its low computational cost, the closed-form solution reveals how different factors affect the optimal loading. Numerical examples confirm the excellent performance of the proposed approach as well as the accurate approximation of the closed-form solution to the actual optimal loading.
Artificial Interference Power Estimation for Beamforming under Sidelobe Soft Constraint
Zeng Cao, Zhou Zheng-guang, Liao Gui-sheng
2007, 29(12): 2827-2831. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00734
Abstract:
Often in practice the directional knowledge of signal of interest or interferences is imprecise, the adaptive beamformer with linear constraint is hypersensitive to the array imperfection which leads to the output Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (SINR) decreases when the input Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) exceeds a certain threshold. In order to improve the robustness of the beamformer, a new method for estimating the artificial interference power under sidelobe soft constraint is proposed. Based on the prior coarse knowledge of Direction of Arrival (DOA) of the interferences and using the subspace projection and the null area extension techniques, the artificial interference power can be obtained through the iterative procedure under the soft constraint of the maximum peak undulation in sidelobe area. The method is not sensitive to the look direction mismatch and the sensors gain error with low sidelobe level and deep null. Numerical examples demonstrate its effectiveness and robustness comparing with other methods.

Gao Shu-yan, Chen Hui, Wang Yong-liang, Zhang Yang
2007, 29(12): 2832-2835. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00765
Abstract:
The MODE-TOEP algorithm is proposed to estimate DOA of coherent signals on a Uniform Circular Array (UCA). Firstly, the mode excitation method is used to transform the UCA in element space into a virtual ULA (VULA) in mode space. Then a Toeplitz matrix can be reconstructed to estimate DOA of coherent signals successfully. MODE-TOEP algorithm has less computational burden due to non-spatial smoothing. Simulation results show that MODE-TOEP algorithm is effective and has a better performance compared with conventional MODE-SS algorithm.

Zhang Huai-gen, Zhang Lin-rang, Wu Shun-jun, Liu yin
2007, 29(12): 2840-2842. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00317
Abstract:
In this paper a new multiple targets angle tracking algorithm is proposed. First, high-resolution method can be used to derive the number of targets and the targets, initial angles. Then the angle of each target at different time could be estimated by updating the covariance matrix estimated through the sensor outputs. In this algorithm, the angles estimated at conjoint time are auto associated, so the process of data association could be omitted. Furthermore, this paper presents two modified methods: one is that the predicted angles are introduced to decrease the errors caused by two approximations, and the other is that the memory track are used when some targets are crossed. Simulation results show the algorithm has high tracing performance.

2007, 29(12): 2843-2847. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00710
Abstract:
For dual-aperture Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Displaced Phase Center Antenna (DPCA) in image domain may dramatically suppress the static clutter background. However, even via DPCA processing, the noise and the residual clutter may be inevitably existed and seriously affect weak target detection. This paper proposed a novel method to further suppress interference by using two-dimensional multi-resolution analysis combined with DPCA, which may remarkably improve the detection performance of weak moving target. Finally, the detailed numerical experiments are also presented based on the proposed method to demonstrate the suppressing performance of the clutter and noise.

2007, 29(12): 2848-2852. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00516
Abstract:
When the parameter estimation of Damped Exponentials (DE) based scattering center model is considered in real life situation, the noise is always non-Gaussian and has long-tailed distribution. The estimation error in such noise may be large if the estimator under gauss-noise assumption is used. In this paper, the M-estimation method is used to obtain robust parameter estimation of DE-model in long-tailed clutter. Firstly, the shortcoming of Prony-based M-estimation method is analyzed. Then, other two effective methods to realize M-estimation of DE-model are proposed. A comparative study of these two methods is carried on about their estimation performance. Lastly, Monte-Carlo simulation test is performed to validate the proposed methods. The results show that the two proposed methods both give better estimation results in long-tailed K-Distribution clutter.

Abstract:
Based on the assumption that wavelet coefficients obey Generalized Gaussian Distribution (GGD), this paper adopts Maximum Likelihood (ML) principle to estimate wavelet coefficients variance of common images in sub-bands.

Compared to the recently proposed SI-AdaptShr, LAWMAP and other wavelet-based methods, better de-noising results may be obtained for the proposed method. Furthermore, a simplified algorithm is also formed to de-speckle SAR images. It is shown that the new method may remarkably reduce the calculation amount and helpful for the post-processing of large scale SAR images.

Abstract:
Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) is one of hotspot of Distributed Small Satellites SAR (DSS-SAR) research, but its very difficult to detect ground moving target from background clutter because of the existence of baseline correlation which result in difficulty to separate the phase produced by terrain height and ground moving target. This paper analyzes the reason of baseline correlation and proposes a promising method to eliminate the interferometric phase induced by cross-track baseline. The computer simulations show that it is efficient to eliminate cross-track baseline interferometric phase.

And then a fast algorithm is given to solve the coefficients of the predictor. Experiments show that, with AVIRIS, the ratio of the algorithm is competitive and it runs fast, so it works efficiently in practice.

Performance Analysis of Multiuser Diversity for MIMO Systems with Linear Zero-Forcing Receiver
Zeng Er-lin, Zhu Shi-hua, Liao Xue-wen
2007, 29(12): 2938-2942. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00727
Abstract:
In multiantenna systems exploiting linear zero-forcing receivers, the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) on each of the simultaneous sub-streams is not independent with each other. This makes the performance analysis of the multiuser diversity much more difficult. By means of hypothesis testing and the maximum likelihood parameter estimation, this paper uses the Gamma distribution to approximate the probability distribution of the maximum, the minimum and the mean value of the SNRs on all the streams. Based on this, the performance of multiuser diversity for multiantenna systems is analyzed. Simulation shows that the aforementioned approximation closely matches the real distribution and the analysis provides a good estimation on the multiuser diversity gain.

Two conventional algorithms, the SCHedule (SCH) algorithm and the Dedicated Rate-Controlled (DRC) algorithm are compared and analyzed. Based on their pros and cons, a modified version of DRC algorithm is proposed, which is called Multi-step-Up DRC (MUDRC). While holding the advantages of DRC,the proposed algorithm can combat for the inherent slow ramp-up nature of DRC and enable a mobile to increase its rate by multiple steps when needed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently utilize the radio resources and improve the users performance of delay. In addition, the performance gain is achieved by using the same amount of signaling overhead as that of DRC, which is much less than that of SCH. The proposed scheme can be generalized to other similar communication systems.

2007, 29(12): 2956-2959. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00632
Abstract:
Signaling transmission is the key technology for adaptive frequency hopping radio. In order to improve its safety and reliability, this paper provides a constrained signaling frequency hopping sequence by analyzing the performances and the limitations of the unconstrained signaling frequency-hopping sequence and the wide gap signaling frequency hopping sequence in fractional band jamming. Theory analysis and the simulation results show that the performance of the proposed sequence is better than those of the former two sequences.

Abstract:
The relative motion direction of spot-beams decides the handover relation between cells for users in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems, and directly affects the performance of handovers for users. User mobility models are developed for two typical cell motion patterns, mobility parameters such as cell dwell time, handover probabilities and average number of handover requests are analyzed.

Tang Zhi-feng, Wang Shi-jun, Yang Shu-yuan
2007, 29(12): 2965-2969. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00644
Abstract:
A fast video object segmentation method working in MPEG compressed domain is presented in this paper. Moving object masks in P frames are extracted by exploiting features obtained by partial decoding. To increase object boundary precision, for each P frame, a 1/16 sub image is constructed using DC and three AC coefficients, and motion compensation information, then a fast mean shift clustering algorithm is used to divide the image into regions with coherence luminance and obtain high precision region boundaries. For reducing the influence of motion vector noise, a MRF-based statistical labeling method is exploited to classify regions into two classes: moving object and background. The proposed algorithm can get a boundary precision of 44 sub-block with a high processing speed. For CIF video streams, the algorithm can run at a speed of 40 frames per second in a Pentium IV 2GHz platform.

2007, 29(12): 2970-2973. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00784
Abstract:
There is great complexity in H.264 encoder. Therefore, it is difficult to implement an encoder in DSP platform which can run in real-time environment. In this paper, the coding architecture of H.264 Baseline Profile is introduced first, and some reasons for limiting speed are presented according to the analysis of the coding architecture. Besides, several implementation techniques for optimization are presented based on the characteristics of TMS320DM642 chip. The H.264 Baseline Profile encoder is finally real-time implemented based on DSP platform. The testing results demonstrate that encoder has sped up remarkably after optimization, which can meet the real-time encoding requirements for the video sequences with CIF format.

Hu Xue-xian, Liu Wen-fen, Li Shi-qu
2007, 29(12): 2974-2977. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00702
Abstract:
The probabilistic models for the bilateral stop/go generator are established. The properties such as Markov property, ergodic property and stationarity of the internal state sequence are studied. It is proved that the distributions of 0 and 1 in the output sequence are imbalanced, which implies that this generator can not be used as keystream generator directly. The rate of coincidence between the output sequence and corresponding LFSR sequences, together with their first derivatives are analyzed. The limit properties of the output sequence are also considered.

2007, 29(12): 2986-2990. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.01270
Abstract:
An adaptive strategy based stable link selection algorithm is proposed in this paper, in which the stable neighbor metric and local movement metric are defined. On the basis, by use of the weighting method and weighting coefficients of the two metrics that are acquired by the fuzzy membership function, the stability probability of each link can be computed adaptively so as to find the most stable link or route in a route discovery. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively adapt to the network conditions, and outperforms the longevity factor based algorithm and the residual lifetime based algorithm in selecting stable links.

Kang Kai, Hu Hai-bo, Lin Xiao-kang
2007, 29(12): 2991-2995. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00743
Abstract:
This paper proposes a new method to provide QoS (Quality of Service) in IEEE 802.11e EDCA (Enhanced Distributed Channel Access). Several slots are assembled together to form a super slot, and every slot in the super slot is assigned for a given priority traffic to send packets. The slot assignment is done according to the traffic priority. This new method guarantees the high priority stations have better throughput, less MAC delay and less packet dropping probability than the low priority stations. Compared with the contention window differentiation proposed by IEEE 802.11e EDCA draft, this new method has many advantages such as increasing the throughput, decreasing the packet dropping probability and reducing variety of the high priority traffic throughput when the number of stations increases. This new QoS method is better than contention window differentiation and applying this method can greatly improve the performance of IEEE 802.11e EDCA.

2007, 29(12): 2996-3000. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00672
Abstract:
Greedy Forwarding (GF) is an important routing strategy among those routing protocols based on location information in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). But there is routing void problem while using greedy forwarding. This paper deduces the probability of a node to be a routing void node theoretically within deterministic deployment and random deployment WSNs, and get the probability of encountering the routing void node while setting up a path randomly. From the analysis the conclusion can be come that when the average number of neighbors is greater than 10, the modified GF algorithm with backoff method is good enough to meet the requirement of WSN applications.

Abstract:
For monitoring burst events in reactive wireless sensor networks, a new United Voting Dynamic Cluster (UVDC) routing algorithm based on residual-energy is proposed. Cluster head is periodically selected according to residual-energy among the nodes located in the event area, meanwhile a structure of cluster tree rooted at the cluster head is formed within the event area to gather and aggregate data. The data transmitted in network is reduced. Simulation results show that UVDC decreases the average energy consumption, as well as balances the energy dissipation effectively, and extends the lifetime of network.

2007, 29(12): 3011-3014. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.00712
Abstract:
To filter false positive alerts generated by Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), 19 related attributes for distinguishing false positive alerts from true alerts are summarized according to the root and timeliness of intrusion alerts, and an approach to filter these false positive alerts based on RS-SVM (Rough Set and Support Vector Machine) theory is proposed. First, redundant attributes are removed and 10 attributes are obtained utilizing rough set theory in the proposed approach. Then the problem of filtering false positive alerts on the dataset with those 10 attributes is transformed to classification problem, and the classifier is constructed using support vector machine theory. The experimental data is the alert dataset raised by Snort, a network intrusion detection system, monitoring the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 1999 intrusion evaluation data (DARPA99). The experimental results show that the proposed approach can reduce about 98% false positive alerts at the cost of increasing about 1.6% false negative alerts. The results of this method are better than those of the other methods that adopt the same dataset and same IDS reported in the literature.

Based on this structure, a compact S-band microstrip lowpass filter is designed and fabricated. The measured results show that, this filter has a low insertion loss of below 0.5dB and a high out-band suppression of more than 30dB.

2007, 29(12): 3027-3030. doi: 10.3724/SP.J.1146.2006.02094
Abstract:
Based on the basic group-based MAximum a Posterior(MAP) detector, a novel detection scheme is proposed that uses a posterior information from the detected groups instead of a priori information from the decoder. The new scheme can improve the estimation precision of the interference. Further an iterative detector that uses a posterior information from last detection is presented. The iterative detector can fully use the output information from the detector and have a performance improvement further. Simulation results show that the new detectors have a significant performance gain over basic group-based MAP algorithm in uncoded systems and have a faster convergence in coded systems.
