Interactive audio-visual applications such as free viewpoint video (FVV) endeavour to provide unrestricted spatiotemporal navigation within a multiple camera environment. Current novel view creation approaches for scene navigation within FVV applications are both purely image-based, implying large information redundancy and dense sampling of the scene; or involve reconstructing complex 3-D models of the scene. In this paper we present a new multiple image view synthesis algorithm for novel view creation that requires only implicit scene geometry information. The multi-view synthesis approach can be used in any multiple camera environments and is scalable, as virtual views can be created given 1 to N of the available video inputs, providing a means to gracefully handle scenarios where camera inputs decrease or increase over time. The algorithm identifies and selects only the best quality surface areas from available reference images, thereby reducing perceptual errors in virtual view reconstruction. Experimental results are provided and verified using both objective (PSNR) and subjective comparisons and also the improvements over the traditional multiple image view synthesis approach of view-oriented weighting are presented.

The optimization of supply chain distribution network need to consider many factors, especially useful information derived from distributors. In this paper, We consider a supply chain consisting of two layers, they are one manufacture and many distributors. Each distributor has full knowledge about his own value-added cost structure. The problem is to design the optimal distribution network for the manufacture. The approach of Network DEA is used to evaluate distributors’ relative validity and finish the filtration of distributors, and through these results the process of distributor selection is completed. At the end of this paper, a numerical example is given.

With an ordinary style of twelve men's seamless underwear as the target of study, of which made the same style, material and the different cylinder diameters, organization structures and knitting methods. The pressure and pressure sense of different positions in the upper body of seamless underwear were tested by young men of M body sizes under static and action state. The methods of objective combined with subjective evaluation, grey correlation and multiple linear regression were used to analyzing pressure values and comfortable sense values. The key positions which can weigh total pressure comfort of men's seamless underwear are obtained, they are elbow, shoulder and chest. Models between pressure and comfort sense under different state are also obtained. By confirming, mathematical models have good accuracy and can give a useful guidance to enterprise for predicting whether the pressure of seamless underwear is comfort or not before mass production.

Active Appearance Models are widely used to match statistical models of shape and appearance to new imagesrapidly. They work by finding model parameters whichminimise the sum of squares of residual differences between model and target image. A limitation of AAMs is that they are not robust to a large set of gross outliers. Using a robust kernel can help, but there are potential problems in determining the correct kernel scaling parameters. We describe a method of learning two sets of scaling parameters during AAM training: a coarse and a fine scale set. Our algorithm initially applies the coarse scale and then uses a form of deterministic annealing to reduce to the fine outlier rejection scaling as the AAM converges. The algorithm was assessed on two large datasets consisting of a set of faces, and a medical dataset of images of the spine. A significant improvement in accuracy and robustness was observed in cases which were difficult for a standard AAM.

Along with the development of internet, a lot of new data appears in the web every day. To construct a retrieval model to adapt the new data quickly and to retrieval the new documents accurately is becoming an important research topic. In this paper, we put forward a new retrieval model by incorporating the theory of transfer learning with Markov Network. Firstly, compare term spaces network of old dataset and new (target) dataset, and the distance between data sets is measured using the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Moreover, KL-divergence is used to decide the trade-off parameter in retrieval formula. Then we transfer the useful prior knowledge of old dataset to the new (target) dataset, and finally implement the retrieval process on the target dataset. Experiments on multiple datasets indicate that our new approach outperforms other methods. Furthermore, we perform several T-tests to demonstrate the improvements are statistically significant.

The traditional three-dimensional object recognition method based on hypothesise and test need to solve the coordinate transformation matrix from scene to model through a group of non-linear equations. Therefore, it has a very high complexity. This paper presents a man-made object recognition method based on the geometry feature of line segments characteristics, and disperses the overall coordinate transformation calculation in every local plane homography calculation, reduces the complexity of the solution. First we prematch the feature points using geometric invariants, then assume and solve the plane homography matrix between scenes to model. After that we match the line segments on the homography plane, and by this we verify the assumption. Experiments proved that this method can rapidly and accurately identify man-made objects which contain coplanar line segment features.

Post ant informed and uninformed customers are the result of strategic interactions between sellers and buyers. This paper derives all possible symmetric equilibria of the pricing game. A representative firm makes negative, zero or positive expected profit depending on the realized consumer decision rules.

In semantic web, ontology mapping is the basis of the interoperation of heterogeneous ontologies. Ontologies are usually distributed and heterogeneous and thus it is necessary to find the mapping between them before processing across them. The current ontology mapping methods merely use massive web pages in the internet and they are unpractical to subsequent interoperation and integration of heterogeneous data sources. This paper proposes a method based on internet search engine and realizes it to a component of the framework for knowledge management system. Ontologies to be mapped and mapping results are all stored in the database. Finally we evaluate our approach with experiments which demonstrate that our solution yields a better performance.
