The enormous growth of stored images in the Internet creates a new and unexpected opportunity for the advancement of science and technology. However, to make an optimal use of this tremendous volume of information, substantial progress is required in the way that current computers process images. There are several efforts in this direction, one of which is to standardize the whole process, thus emerging...
This paper is based on the theory of particle system, researching the basic model and principle of setting off fireworks, based on the basis original model, we add some new constraints, such as wind-force, temperature, buoyancy force, at last the model of fireworks is realized. The simulation of fireworks is distinctly and real-time at last.
This paper introduces a novel object recognition approach based on the Gabor Wavelet representation of the binarized image that makes use of fuzzy logic for determining the 'soft' class label of the color test images with respect to the gray training templates. The fuzzy membership function used is a Generalized Gaussian function whose exponent value is determined empirically. The use of simple computations...
When we perceive a colored shape, how the aesthetic evaluation is affected by the color or the shape. This study investigates the effect of color and shape on the aesthetic evaluation of colored shape. We used 16 shapes and 12 colors. 16 shapes were varied the magnitude of shape parameters that correspond to the three dimensions of curvedness, regularity, and complexity. 12 colors were selected from...
For background-subtraction-based moving object detection, reliable background modeling is the most important component. Pixel-based methods are sensitive to illumination change, and edge-based methods can solve illumination-related problems, but have shape distortion problems. In this paper, we propose an edge-segment-based statistical background modeling algorithm and an online update mechanism to...
As people across the globe are becoming more interested in watching their weight, eating more healthily, and avoiding obesity, a system that can measure calories and nutrition in everyday meals can be very useful. Recently, due to ubiquity of mobile devices such as smart phones, Net books and tablets, the health monitoring applications are accessible by the patients practically all the time. A semi-automated...
Recent studies have correlated specific typeface features (variety versus contrast versus pattern) to specific emotional parameters (amusement versus agitation versus focus). These studies provide a systematic explanation for analyzing typeface features and emotional parameters. However, these studies have focused on Roman typefaces. Much of the research on non-Roman typefaces do not provide a systematic...

3D object recognition is a fundamental research topic. However, shape only feature descriptors for 3D object recognition have been the main focus of research. With the availability of low cost range plus color sensors, color based descriptors have attracted increasing attention lately. In this paper we present novel 3D object recognition algorithms which use not only shape but also color cues. We...
This paper proposes a video surveillance system to position ships in a ship lock A background subtraction method is employed to extract the foreground of all ships. Subsequently, the DBSCAN clustering algorithm is applied to isolate each ship from the curves scanned from the extracted foreground regions. The system can locate adjacent ships and identify each one in real time. Theoretical analyses...
This paper describes a new accurate interpolation method of a low-resolution depth image using a high-resolution color image for the structural analysis of 3d data. Our method adopts the strategy to detect and omit regions where it is difficult to estimate depth value accurately. In order to achieve this, Color geodesic neighborhood is used as the local smooth surface, and depth data is interpolated...
This paper designs an elegant model in k-in-a-row games Connect6 as an example. In this model, domain knowledge is involved in the special pattern called Connection. A Connection covers several consecutive intersections of a line on the board, and is also the basic element of the data structure sketching the blueprint of the model. Based on Connection, we can show how to construct a complete database...
In this talk, we present some of the challenges ahead of us, especially for the design of analog and mixed signal (AMS) circuits in advanced process nodes. It calls for more collaboration among the foundries, design houses and EDA vendors.
Bubbles are made of water, gas and air with very thin skin surrounding a volume of air. Bubbles are very elastic and stretch when inflated. However, the bubbles are very flexible and changes into various forms. This interesting accidental forms inspired ceramic artist to explore bubbles aesthetics elements in to ceramics. Design studies methodology was performed and finally, distinct elements of bubble...
International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) report proposes extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography to be the key candidate of lithography tools to manufacture devices at the 22nm node and beyond. The image effects on wafer critical dimensions (CDs) in the EUV lithography are different from the effects in the conventional lithography caused by the off-axis illumination and refelective...
Conventional object detection methods often use local features based on object shape, of which the HOG feature is typical. In recent years, Color Self-Similarity (CSS) has been proposed as a local feature that uses color information. CSS involves computing color similarity as a basis for deciding the sameness of objects, and thus represent a feature that is effective for object detection. It has also...
“Kawaii” is a Japanese word that represents an emotional value; it has positive meanings, such as cute, lovable, and small. In the 21st century, the emotional values of industrial products become very important. However, since not many studies have focused on the kawaii attributes, we focus on a systematic analysis of kawaii products themselves, that is kawaii feelings caused by the attributes such...
Modeling of artillery fire is a well studied concept in military simulations. There are known models which give accurate results, but they usually assume flat terrain with no obstacles. We develop an artillery fire model that takes terrain shapes into account, extending the previous models. We implemented the extended model and used it to compute the effects of firing onto terrains with differing...
The applications of eye detection have grown significantly during the past decade. The objective of this paper was to develop a new technique for eye detection in color facial images. The implementation of this technique was composed of three steps. First step is using skin color information to detect a face in color images. The face region would be segmented from the background. Next step, illumination...
In this paper, we introduce AUBUE — Adaptive User-Interface Based on User's Emotion in which a user's emotions are detected according to interactions of the user with keyboard; then user interface's color is adopted regarding to users' emotion. AUBUE includes four elements: keyboard interpretation, event interpretation, mood update, and color selection. In the keyboard interpretation element, interactions...
