Stereo matching cost computation based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform

A new matching cost computation method based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) for stereo image matching is proposed in this paper. Firstly, stereo image is decomposed into high frequency sub-band images at different scales and along different directions by NSCT. Secondly, by utilizing coefficients in high frequency domain and grayscales in RGB color space, the computation model of weighted matching cost between two pixels is designed based on the gestalt laws. Lastly, two types of experiments are carried out with standard stereopairs in the Middlebury benchmark. One of the experiments is to confirm optimum values of NSCT scale and direction parameters, and the other is to compare proposed matching cost with nine known matching costs. Experimental results show that the optimum values of scale and direction parameters are respectively 2 and 3, and the matching accuracy of the proposed matching cost is twice higher than that of traditional NCC cost.

以一种新的距离度量作为反馈的相关跟踪方法

基于相关的模板匹配方法在图像跟踪中得到了广泛的应用,但是这种方法的主要缺点是对图像噪声非常敏感,而且由这种方法得出的相关曲面比较平坦。为了有效抑制噪声和局部遮挡对图像的影响,提出用鲁棒统计中的一个值代替相关值作为距离度量。它不是计算两幅图像的对应像素差值,而是计算两幅图像中差别不大的对应像素对的个数。实验证明这样得到的曲面相对　　收稿日期:2003 08 31;　修订日期:2003 10 28作者简介:张桂林(1944 ),男,天津人,教授,博士生导师,主要研究方向为自动识别、人体生物统计特征识别、图像处理算法与系统性能评估等。　　　　　　　要尖锐得多。当上述的距离度量应用于跟踪过程中时,模板的合理更新对跟踪非常重要。基于上述的距离度量方法,提出了一种新的模板更新策略。利用两幅图像中近似像素在整修匹配模板像素中所占的比例大小决定加权系数。这种加权策略可以自适应地根据图像序列的变化选择更新相关模板,同时在一定程度上减小模板漂移的危险。     

A New Approach for Built‐in Self‐Test of 4.5 to 5.5 GHz Low‐Noise Amplifiers

This paper presents a low‐cost RF parameter estimation technique using a new RF built‐in self‐test (BIST) circuit and efficient DC measurement for 4.5 to 5.5 GHz low noise amplifiers (LNAs). The BIST circuit measures gain, noise figure, input impedance, and input return loss for an LNA. The BIST circuit is designed using 0.18 μm SiGe technology. The test technique utilizes input impedance matching and output DC voltage measurements. The technique is simple and inexpensive.

FFT-based algorithms for the string matching with mismatches problem

The string matching with mismatches problem requires finding the Hamming distance between a pattern P of length m and every length m substring of text T with length n. Fischer and Paterson's FFT-based algorithm solves the problem without error in O(σnlogm), where σ is the size of the alphabet Σ [SIAM–AMS Proc. 7 (1973) 113–125]. However, this in the worst case reduces to O(nmlogm). Atallah, Chyzak and Dumas used the idea of randomly mapping the letters of the alphabet to complex roots of unity to estimate the score vector in time O(nlogm) [Algorithmica 29 (2001) 468–486]. We show that the algorithm's score variance can be substantially lowered by using a bijective mapping, and specifically to zero in the case of binary and ternary alphabets. This result is extended via alphabet remappings to deterministically solve the string matching with mismatches problem with a constant factor of 2 improvement over Fischer–Paterson's method.     

Bit-parallel approximate string matching algorithms with transposition

Using bit-parallelism has resulted in fast and practical algorithms for approximate string matching under Levenshtein edit distance, which permits a single edit operation to insert, delete or substitute a character. Depending on the parameters of the search, currently the fastest non-filtering algorithms in practice are the O(km/wn) algorithm of Wu and Manber, the O((k+2)(m−k)/wn) algorithm of Baeza-Yates and Navarro, and the O(m/wn) algorithm of Myers, where m is the pattern length, n is the text length, k is the error threshold and w is the computer word size. In this paper we discuss a uniform way of modifying each of these algorithms to permit also a fourth type of edit operation: transposing two adjacent characters in the pattern. This type of edit distance is also known as Damerau edit distance. In the end we also present an experimental comparison of the resulting algorithms.

Fold‐2‐covering triangular embeddings

For a graph G and a positive integer m, G_(m) is the graph obtained from G by replacing every vertex by an independent set of size m and every edge by m² edges joining all possible new pairs of ends. If G triangulates a surface, then it is easy to see from Euler's formula that G_(m) can, in principle, triangulate a surface. For m prime and at least 7, it has previously been shown that in fact G_(m) does triangulate a surface, and in fact does so as a “covering with folds” of the original triangulation. For m = 5, this would be a consequence of Tutte's 5‐Flow Conjecture. In this work, we investigate the case m = 2 and describe simple classes of triangulations G for which G₍₂₎ does have a triangulation that covers G “with folds,” as well as providing a simple infinite class of triangulations G of the sphere for which G₍₂₎ does not triangulate any surface. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
