基于Huber正则化的红外与可见光图像融合

图像融合通常是指从多源信道采集同一目标图像,将互补的多焦点、多模态、多时相和/或多视点图像集成在一起,形成新图像的过程.在本文中,我们采用基于Huber正则化的红外与可见光图像的融合模型.该模型通过约束融合图像与红外图像相似的像素强度保持热辐射信息,以及约束融合图像与可见光图像相似的灰度梯度和像素强度保持图像的边缘和纹理等外观信息,同时能够改善图像灰度梯度相对较小区域的阶梯效应.为了最小化这种变分模型,我们结合增广拉格朗日方法(ALM)和量身定做有限点方法(TFPM)的思想设计数值算法,并给出了算法的收敛性分析.最后,我们将所提模型和算法与其他七种图像融合方法进行定性和定量的比较,分析了本文所提模型的特点和所提数值算法的有效性.

一种新型的四相水平集图像分割方法

水平集方法在图像分割和计算机视觉领域有很广泛的应用,在传统的水平集方法中,水平集函数需要保持符号距离函数.现有的活动轮廓模型、GAC模型、M-S模型、C-V模型等在演化过程中均需要对水平集函数进行重新初始化,使其保持符号距离函数,然而这样会引起数值计算的错误,最终破坏演化的稳定性,另外这些模型只适用于灰度值较为均匀的图像,对灰度值不均匀的图像不能进行理想的分割·针对这些问题,结合C-V模型的思想,提出了一种带有正则项的四相水平集分割模型,其中正则项被定义为一个势函数,具有向前向后扩散的作用,使水平集函数在演化过程中保持为符号距离函数,避免了水平集函数重新初始化的过程.最后对该模型进行数值实现,实验表明了新模型的可行性和有效性.

A dimensionally reduced finite mixture model for multilevel data

Recently, different mixture models have been proposed for multilevel data, generally requiring the local independence assumption. In this work, this assumption is relaxed by allowing each mixture component at the lower level of the hierarchical structure to be modeled according to a multivariate Gaussian distribution with a non-diagonal covariance matrix. For high-dimensional problems, this solution can lead to highly parameterized models. In this proposal, the trade-off between model parsimony and flexibility is governed by assuming a latent factor generative model.     

Composite hierachical linear quantile regression

Multilevel （hierarchical） modeling is a generalization of linear and generalized linear modeling in which regression coefficients are modeled through a model, whose parameters are also estimated from data. Multilevel model fails to fit well typically by the use of the EM algorithm once one of level error variance （like Cauchy distribution） tends to infinity. This paper proposes a composite multilevel to combine the nested structure of multilevel data and the robustness of the composite quantile regression, which greatly improves the efficiency and precision of the estimation. The new approach, which is based on the Gauss-Seidel iteration and takes a full advantage of the composite quantile regression and multilevel models, still works well when the error variance tends to infinity, We show that even the error distribution is normal, the MSE of the estimation of composite multilevel quantile regression models nearly equals to mean regression. When the error distribution is not normal, our method still enjoys great advantages in terms of estimation efficiency.     

Detection and quantification of pore,solid and gravel spaces in CT images of a 3D soil sample

In this study, we scanned the core of a cylindrical soil sample (60mm diameter and 100mm height) by X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) producing 300 consecutive 2D digital images with 16-bit gray level depth and a resolution of 32 microns (image size 676 × 676 pixels). The aim of this work was to determine the geometry and spatial distribution of the elements in a sample, related in this case to pore, solid and gravel, inside each 2D image for the latter reconstruction of the corresponding 3D approximation of the elements using the total set of 300 soil images. Therefore, it was possible to determine the relative percentage of each element present in each 2D image and, correspondingly, the structure and total percentage in the 3D reconstruction. The identification of elements in the 2D image slices was very well accomplished using three standard segmentation algorithms: k-Means, Fuzzy c-Means and Otsu multilevel. In order to compare and evaluate the quality of results, a non-uniformity (NU) measure was applied such that low values were indicative of homogeneous regions. Due to the depth of the greyscale of the images, the results were very similar with comparable statistics and homogeneity (NU values) among the detected materials of the three algorithms. That suggests that the pore, solid and gravel spaces were very well identified, and this is reflected through their connectivity in the 3D reconstruction. Additionally, the gray level depth was reduced to 8 bits and the same study was undertaken. In this case, the quality of results was comparable to the previous ones, as the number of elements and NU values were very close. However, this also depends largely on the high resolution of the images. Thereby, the soil sample of this work was very well characterized using the simplest and most common algorithms for image segmentation thanks to the high contrast and resolution, and regardless the depth of the grey-level.

Asymptotic robustness of standard errors in multilevel structural equation models

Data in social and behavioral sciences are often hierarchically organized. Multilevel statistical methodology was developed to analyze such data. Most of the procedures for analyzing multilevel data are derived from maximum likelihood based on the normal distribution assumption. Standard errors for parameter estimates in these procedures are obtained from the corresponding information matrix. Because practical data typically contain heterogeneous marginal skewnesses and kurtoses, this paper studies how nonnormally distributed data affect the standard errors of parameter estimates in a two-level structural equation model. Specifically, we study how skewness and kurtosis in one level affect standard errors of parameter estimates within its level and outside its level. We also show that, parallel to asymptotic robustness theory in conventional factor analysis, conditions exist for asymptotic robustness of standard errors in a multilevel factor analysis model.

Local influence in multilevel regression for growth curves

Influence analysis is important in modelling and identification of special patterns in the data. It is well established in ordinary regression. However, analogous diagnostics are generally not available for the multilevel regression model, in which estimation involves a complex iterative algorithm. This paper studies the local influence of small perturbations on the parameter estimates in the multilevel regression model with application to growth curves. The estimation is based on the iterative generalized least-squares (IGLS) method suggested by Goldstein (Biometrika 73 (1986) 43). The generalized influence function and generalized Cook statistic (Biometrika 84(1) (1997) 175) of IGLS of unknown parameters under some specific simultaneous perturbations are derived to study the joint influence of subject units on parameter estimators. The perturbation scheme is introduced through a variance–covariance matrix of error variables. A one-step approximation formula is suggested for simplifying the computations. The method is examined on growth-curve data.     

A multilevel approach for nonnegative matrix factorization

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), the problem of approximating a nonnegative matrix with the product of two low-rank nonnegative matrices, has been shown to be useful in many applications, such as text mining, image processing, and computational biology. In this paper, we explain how algorithms for NMF can be embedded into the framework of multilevel methods in order to accelerate their initial convergence. This technique can be applied in situations where data admit a good approximate representation in a lower dimensional space through linear transformations preserving nonnegativity. Several simple multilevel strategies are described and are experimentally shown to speed up significantly three popular NMF algorithms (alternating nonnegative least squares, multiplicative updates and hierarchical alternating least squares) on several standard image datasets.
