A fast multilevel thresholding method based on lowpass and highpass filtering

A new method of thresholding a gray-scale image into a desired number of classes is proposed in this paper. The proposed method first evaluates the number of peaks in the histogram, then finds a suitable lowpass or highpass filter such that the number of peaks in the filtered histogram is equal to the desired number of classes. Then, valleys in the filtered histogram are used as thresholds. The proposed method is computationally fast and corresponds to human intuition. In the experiments, we compare the performance of our proposed method with other thresholding methods and the method is shown effective and efficient in multilevel thresholding.

Experimental study of drop impacts and spreading on epicarps: Effect of fluid properties

The fluid mechanic of liquid drop impacts on solid food plays an important role in food engineering, e.g. when a spray technology is used to apply a coating. In the present work, drop impact behavior on banana and purple cabbage epicarps using high speed camera was studied. Drop velocity was controlled by modifying the height from which drop was ejected. Weber number varied from 100 to 800, whereas Reynolds number ranged from 1000 to 12,500. Liquid drop viscosity and surface tension effects on drop impact behavior were evaluated and temporal evolution of both spreading and flattening factors are presented. Results show that viscosity and epicarp surface properties had great influence on impact dynamics. For low viscosity liquid drops (water and Tween 20-water), the maximum spread factor, ξ_max, scaled with We^0.25±0.02, whereas for viscous fluid (water-glycerol mixture) it scaled with We^0.16±0.02. Finally, a new model was proposed to better fit the experimental data than the Roisman’s and Scheller’s models.     

Methods for removing links in a network to minimize the spread of infections

Minimizing the spread of infections is a challenging problem, and it is the subject matter in many different fields such as epidemiology and cyber-security. In this paper, we investigate link removal as an intervention strategy and study the relative effectiveness of different link removal methods in minimizing the spread of infections in a network. With that in mind, we develop four connectivity-based network interdiction models and formulate these models as mixed integer linear programs. The first model minimizes the number of connections between infected and susceptible nodes; the second the number of susceptible nodes having one or more connections with infected nodes; the third the total number of paths between infected and susceptible nodes; and the fourth the total weight of the paths between infected and susceptible nodes. We also propose heuristic algorithms to solve the models. The network interdiction models act as link removal methods, i.e., each return a solution consisting of a set of links to remove in the network. We compare the effectiveness of these four methods with the effectiveness of an existing link removal method [25], a method based on link betweenness centrality [18], and random link removal method. Our results show that complete isolation of susceptible nodes from infected nodes is the most effective method in reducing the average number of new infections (reduce occurrence) under most scenarios, and the relative effectiveness of the complete isolation method increases with transmission probability. In contrast, removing the highest probability transmission paths is the most effective method in increasing the average time to infect half of the susceptible nodes (reduce speed) under most scenarios, and the relative effectiveness of this method decreases with transmission probability.

Design of New SAW DQPSK Matched Filter

A new surface acoustic Wave differential quadraphase shift key（SAW DQPSK） spread spectrum （SS） signal matched filter based on the fusion of SS and differential modulation is reported. The design of multi-phase coded SAW matched filter is proposed rather than another design of SAW DQPSK filter, which can cut in a half of the delay time of SAW DQPSK matched filter and SAW fixed delay line（FDL） used for differential demodulation. This breakthrough is made the system largely reduce a size and process much easily. This method can also be feasible in other SAW MPSK matched filter design especially when the modulation phase number is larger than 4. The design example and its experimental results are given.
