    To avoid failing in visual tracking situation when employing single feature,a nonlinear target tracking method based on multi-feature fusion is proposed.Grey histogram is used to describe the overall distribution characteristics of the target and edge feature is employed to extract the high frequency details.The two algorithms are fused in the probabilistic model of particle filter.Feature reliability estimation based on half-band width and contribution is proposed,which provides more reliable features with more particles.In this way,the particle numbers of the features are adjusted dynamically.Compared with single-feature tracking method,the tracking result shows that the algorithm has the strong ability of tracking under local obstruction.The average tracking error of the new algorithm decreases by 0.5 pixels.

    When there are many fuzzy rules during Fuzzy-neural Networks (FNN) operation,the networks usually have slow learning speed and long running time.To solve this problem,a rough set theory was introduced to improve FNN model.Rough set data analysis method was used to obtain the reductive rules which were used as the fuzzy rules of the FNN.The input to the model was mapped into the output subspace by using these rules and the output of the system was approximated by improved BP algorithm training in this subspace.The results show that rules acquired by rough set data mining technology not only can get minimum rules but also are incomplete rules.Dimension of input and nerve cell numbers of network are decreased and learning speed is improved,which can meet time limitation of system.

    A new method for measuring dynamic attitude of missile is proposed by adopting the binocular vision measurement system,in which two CCDs are used and their optic axes are parallel.Firstly,the centroid of missile is obtained by the weighted average method.Secondly,the axis vector of the measured missile is fitted by the 3-D coordinate of missile’s surface which is obtained with image matching method.Because the axis of missile is a straight line which gets through the centroid of missile,the interval between the measured missile’s surface points and its axes is equal.Lastly,the attitude of measured missile is obtained by the mathematics relationship between the axis vector and the attitude.The simulation experiment shows that the measurement method has higher precision,and can meet the measurement requirements on the dynamic parameter of moving object in long distance.

    Traditional Hough transform for circle detection has several limitations,such as high computation and memory complexity.To solve these problems,we presented a modified Hough transform method based on gradient information and fuzzy theory.First,gradient information was utilized to reduce the computational complexity.Furthermore,edge points were mapped based on fuzzy theory to avoid peak diffusion and false peak.Finally,a post-processing algorithm was designed to remove the false alarms,since Hough transform would neglect the connectivity between points.Experimental results show that the proposed method has many advantages,such as low computational complexity,high detection accuracy,high detection rate,and low false target rate.

    Both the theoretical analysis and computing simulation were done for the photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) of an actual particle system,and the results showed that the relative error of the reversed particle size could be up to 100% if the mixed PCS was reversed only by the self-beating or heterodyne arithmetic.So we presented a method of reversing the particle size from a mixed PCS.A simulated experimental arrangement which can give rise to the mixed PCS was built.Two particle systems,composed of standard polystyrene latex spheres with nominal diameters of 60nm and 200nm,were examined with the arrangement.The experiment result shows that compared with their nominal values,the relative errors of the reversed particle sizes are all within 5% when the mixed PCS is reversed by the proposed method.

    In some case,the axial distance from the sample to the lens is long in laser particle size measurement,so vignette appears because the lens aperture is limited,which reduces the measure precision and accuracy.In order to solve the problem,the gray system theory is presented to check the optical signal data to find the vignette point.And then,the signals after the vignette point are predicted by grey-prediction model.By this way,the vignette data are amended.Experiments on a particle plate were carried out.The particle plate was placed at several positions in front of the lens.When the data were modified,a no-model algorithm was used to invert the particle size distribution.The results show the gray-prediction method is valid.The purposed means can be used to enhance the precision and accuracy in some measurement,where the axial distance from the sample to the lens is long or the covered area of the sample is large.

    Two different architectures of Independent Component Analysis (ICA) to palmprint recognition which were architectureⅠand architectureⅡwere discussed.Region of Interest (ROI) in the palmprint images were extracted automatically by preprocessing before feature extraction and match so as to increase the recognition accuracy and reliability.In order to reduce computational complexity,Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was used to eliminate second-order dependencies in the palmprint images.The remaining higher-order dependencies were separated by ICA.The Square Project Error (SPE) of ICA model was smaller than that of PCA,and the reconstruction of the original palmprint images was superior to that gotten by PCA in PolyU Palmprint Database.To compare the recognition performance of two ICA architectures with PCA,we applied them to extract the palmprint feature subspace inside ROI.Then the images to be recognized were projected on small dimension subspace.Finally,we used a classifier to palmprint match based on cosine distance.Experimental results show that two ICA architectures perform better than PCA and ICA architectureⅡis the best in performance.
