Under the interaction between dam body, dam foundation and external environment, the dam structural behavior presents the time-varying nonlinear characteristics. According to the prototypical observations, the correct identification on above nonlinear characteristics is very important for dam safety control. It is difficult to implement the description, analysis and diagnosis for dam structural behavior by use of any linear method. Based on the rescaled range analysis approach, the algorithm is proposed to identify and extract the fractal feature on observed dam structural behavior. The displacement behavior of one actual dam is taken as an example. The fractal long-range correlation for observed displacement behavior is analyzed and revealed. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method is verified. It is indicated that the mechanism evidence can be provided for the prediction and diagnosis of dam structural behavior by using the fractal identification method. The proposed approach has a high potential for other similar applications.

In this paper, a new hardware-software patitioning algorithm is presented, in which the system behavioral description containing a mixture of hardware and softwae components is partitioned into the hardware part and the software part. In this research, new techniques to optimally partition a mixed system under certain specified constaints such as performance, area, and delay, have been developed. During the partitioning process, the overhead due to the communication between the hardware and software parts are considered. New featues have been added to adjust the hierarchical level of partitioning. Power consumption, memory cost, and the effect of pipelining can also be considered during partitioning. Another new feature is the ability to partition a DSP system under throughput constraints. This feature is important for real time processing. The developed partitioning system can also be used to evaluate various design alternatives and architectures.

The SVDD(support vector data description) is one of the most well-known one-class support vector learning methods, in which one tries the strategy of utilizing balls defined on the kernel feature space in order to distinguish a set of normal data from all other possible abnormal objects. The major concern of this paper is to consider the problem of modifying the SVDD into the direction of utilizing ellipsoids instead of balls in order to enable better classification performance. After a brief review about the original SVDD method, this paper establishes a new method utilizing ellipsoids in feature space, and presents a solution in the form of SDP(semi-definite programming) which is an optimization problem based on linear matrix inequalities.

Visualization of 2D and 3D data, which arises from some scientific phenomena, physical model or mathematical formula, in the form of curve or surface view is one of the important topics in Computer Graphics. The problem gets critically important when data possesses some inherent shape feature. For example, it may have positive feature in one instance and monotone in the other. This paper is concerned with the solution of similar problems when data has convex shape and its visualization is required to have similar inherent features to that of data. A rational cubic function [5] has been used for the review of visualization of 2D data. After that it has been generalized for the visualization of 3D data. Moreover, simple sufficient constraints are made on the free parameters in the description of rational bicubic functions to visualize the 3D convex data in the view of convex surfaces.

As part of the cell division method, we proposed a method for segmenting images generated by topography microscopes through deep learning-based feature generation and graph segmentation. Hybrid vector shapes preserve the overall shape and boundary information of cells, so most cell shapes can be captured without any post-processing burden. NIH-3T3 and Hela-S3 cells have satisfactory results in cell description preservation. Compared to other deep learning methods, the proposed cell image segmentation method does not require postprocessing. It is also effective in preserving the overall morphology of cells and has shown better results in terms of cell boundary preservation.

Video captioning refers to the process of extracting features from a video and generating video captions using the extracted features. This paper introduces a deep neural network model and its learning method for effective video captioning. In this study, visual features as well as semantic features, which effectively express the video, are also used. The visual features of the video are extracted using convolutional neural networks, such as C3D and ResNet, while the semantic features are extracted using a semantic feature extraction network proposed in this paper. Further, an attention-based caption generation network is proposed for effective generation of video captions using the extracted features. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed model is verified through various experiments using two large-scale video benchmarks such as the Microsoft Video Description (MSVD) and the Microsoft Research Video-To-Text (MSR-VTT).

In this paper, we aimed to develop associative pattern recognizer based on neural network for aircraft identification. For obtaining invariant feature space description of an object regardless of its scale change and rotation, Log-polar sampling technique recently developed partly due to its similarity to the human visual system was introduced with Fourier transform post-processing. In addition to the recognition results, image recall was associatively performed and also used for the visualization of the recognition reliability. The multilayer perceptron model was learned by backpropagation algorithm.

The $(L,\psi)$ feature description on the binary boundary air craft image is introduced of classifying 3-D object (aircraft) identification. Three types for associative matrix memories are employed and tested for their classification performance. The fast association involved in these memories can be implemented using a parallel optical matrix-vector operation. Two associative memories are based on pseudoinverse solutions and the third one is interoduced as a paralell version of a nearest-neighbor classifier. Detailed simulation results for each associative processor are provided.

In this paper, we present a texture description method as a standardization of multimedia contents description. Like color, shape, object and camera motion information, texture is one of very important information in the visual part of international standard (MPEG-7) in multimedia contents description. Current MPEG-7 texture descriptor has been designed to fit human visual system. Many psychophysical experiments give evidence that the brain decomposes the spectra into perceptual channels that are bands in spatial frequency. The MPEG-7 texture description method has employed Radon transform that fits with HVS behavior. By taking average energy and energy deviation of HVS channels, the texture descriptor is generated. To test the performance of current texture descriptor, experiments with MPEG-7 Texture data sets of T1 to T7 are performed. Results show that the current MPEG-7 texture descriptor gives better retrieval rate and fast and fast extraction time for texture feature.

The continuous increase of the spatial resolution of remote sensing images brings great challenge to image analysis and processing. Traditional prior knowledge-based region detection and target recognition algorithms for processing high resolution remote sensing images generally employ a global searching solution, which results in prohibitive computational complexity. In this paper, a more efficient region of interest (ROI) detection algorithm based on visual attention and threshold segmentation (VA-TS) is proposed, wherein a visual attention mechanism is used to eliminate image segmentation and feature detection to the entire image. The input image is subsampled to decrease the amount of data and the discrete moment transform (DMT) feature is extracted to provide a finer description of the edges. The feature maps are combined with weights according to the amount of the "strong points" and the "salient points". A threshold segmentation strategy is employed to obtain more accurate region of interest shape information with the very low computational complexity. Experimental statistics have shown that the proposed algorithm is computational efficient and provide more visually accurate detection results. The calculation time is only about 0.7% of the traditional Itti's model.
