This paper aims to implement histogram pyramids with marching cubes method for 3D medical volumetric rendering. The histogram pyramids are used for feature extraction by segmenting the image into the hierarchical order like the pyramid shape. The histogram pyramids can decrease the number of sparse matrixes that will occur during voxel manipulation. The important feature of the histogram pyramids is the direction of segments in the image. Then this feature will be used for connecting pixels (2D) to form up voxel (3D) during marching cubes implementation. The proposed method is fast and easy to implement and it also produces a smooth result (compared to the traditional marching cubes technique). The experimental results show the time consuming for generating 3D model can be reduced by 15.59% in average. The paper also shows the comparison between the surface rendering using the traditional marching cubes and the marching cubes with histogram pyramids. Therefore, for the volumetric rendering such as 3D medical models and terrains where a large number of lookups in 3D grids are performed, this method is a particularly good choice for generating the smooth surface of 3D object.

Mobile sensing has become a new style of applications and most of the smart devices are equipped with varieties of sensors or functionalities to enhance sensing capabilities. Current sensing systems concentrate on how to enhance sensing capabilities; however, the sensors or functionalities may lead to the leakage of users’ privacy. In this paper, we present WiPass, a way to leverage the wireless hotspot functionality on the smart devices to snoop the unlock passwords/patterns without the support of additional hardware. The attacker can “see” your unlock passwords/patterns even one meter away. WiPass leverages the impacts of finger motions on the wireless signals during the unlocking period to analyze the passwords/patterns. To practically implement WiPass, we are facing the difficult feature extraction and complex unlock passwords matching, making the analysis of the finger motions challenging. To conquer the challenges, we use DCASW to extract feature and hierarchical DTW to do unlock passwords matching. Besides, the combination of amplitude and phase information is used to accurately recognize the passwords/patterns. We implement a prototype of WiPass and evaluate its performance under various environments. The experimental results show that WiPass achieves the detection accuracy of 85.6% and 74.7% for passwords/patterns detection in LOS and in NLOS scenarios, respectively.

Currently, design and processing of complicated model are enabled by the progress of the CAD/CAM system. In shape measurement, high precision measurement is performed using CMM. In order to evaluate the machined part, the designed model made by CAD system the point cloud data provided by the measurement system are analyzed and compared. Usually, the designed CAD model and measured point cloud data are made in the different coordinate systems, it is necessary to register those models in the same coordinate system for evaluation. In this research, a 3D model registration method based on feature extraction and iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is proposed. It could efficiently and accurately register two models in different coordinate systems, and effectively avoid the problem of localized solution.

By clustering feature words, we can not only simplify the dimension of feature subsets, but also eliminate the redundancy of the feature. However, for a feature set with very large dimensions, the traditional [Formula: see text]-medoids algorithm is difficult to accurately estimate the value of [Formula: see text]. Moreover, the clustering results of the average linkage (AL) algorithm cannot be divided again, and the AL algorithm cannot be directly used for text classification. In order to overcome the limitations of AL and [Formula: see text]-medoids, in this paper, we combine the two algorithms together so as to be mutually complementary to each other. In particular, in order to meet the purpose of text classification, we improve the AL algorithm and propose the [Formula: see text] testing statistics to obtain the approximate number of clusters. Finally, the central feature words are preserved, and the other feature words are deleted. The experimental results show that the new algorithm largely eliminates the redundancy of the feature. Compared with the traditional TF-IDF algorithms, the performance of the text classification of the new algorithm is improved.

Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is a more and more popular method for non-negative dimensionality reduction and feature extraction of non-negative data, especially face images. Currently no NMF algorithm holds not only satisfactory efficiency for dimensionality reduction and feature extraction of face images but also high ease of use. To improve the applicability of NMF, this chapter proposes a new monotonic, fixed-point algorithm called FastNMF by implementing least squares error-based non-negative factorization essentially according to the basic properties of parabola functions. The minimization problem corresponding to an operation in FastNMF can be analytically solved just by this operation, which is far beyond existing NMF algorithms’ power, and therefore FastNMF holds much higher efficiency, which is validated by a set of experimental results. For the simplicity of design philosophy, FastNMF is still one of NMF algorithms that are the easiest to use and the most comprehensible. Besides, theoretical analysis and experimental results also show that FastNMF tends to extract facial features with better representation ability than popular multiplicative update-based algorithms.

In recent years, automatic ear recognition has become a popular research. Effective feature extraction is one of the most important steps in Content-based ear image retrieval applications. In this paper, the authors proposed a new vectors construction method for ear retrieval based on Block Discriminative Common Vector. According to this method, the ear image is divided into 16 blocks firstly and the features are extracted by applying DCV to the sub-images. Furthermore, Support Vector Machine is used as classifier to make decision. The experimental results show that the proposed method performs better than classical PCA+LDA, so it is an effective human ear recognition method.

Amyloid is generally an aggregate of insoluble fibrin; its abnormal deposition is the pathogenic mechanism of various diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and type II diabetes. Therefore, accurately identifying amyloid is necessary to understand its role in pathology. We proposed a machine learning-based prediction model called PredAmyl-MLP, which consists of the following three steps: feature extraction, feature selection, and classification. In the step of feature extraction, seven feature extraction algorithms and different combinations of them are investigated, and the combination of SVMProt-188D and tripeptide composition (TPC) is selected according to the experimental results. In the step of feature selection, maximum relevant maximum distance (MRMD) and binomial distribution (BD) are, respectively, used to remove the redundant or noise features, and the appropriate features are selected according to the experimental results. In the step of classification, we employed multilayer perceptron (MLP) to train the prediction model. The 10-fold cross-validation results show that the overall accuracy of PredAmyl-MLP reached 91.59%, and the performance was better than the existing methods.

The preprocessing for infrared sea-surface target image is very important to automatic target recognition and tracking. The preprocessing can reduce noise and enhance target, and it is the base of feature extraction and target recognition. The scene model of infrared sea-surface target image was established. The characteristics of infrared image are analyzed, and several methods of preprocessing nowadays were analyzed and compared. According to the different characteristic of infrared image, a preprocessing scheme is proposed. The experimental results indicate that in practical application appropriate methods should be chosen for different purpose. In order to get good preprocessing effects, these methods can be assembled into multi- process.
