3DV quality model based depth maps for view synthesis in FTV system

Depth maps are used for synthesis virtual view in free-viewpoint television (FTV) systems.When depth maps are derived using existing depth estimation methods,the depth distortions will cause undesirable artifacts in the synthesized views.To solve this problem,a 3D video quality model base depth maps (D-3DV) for virtual view synthesis and depth map coding in the FTV applications is proposed.First,the relationships between distortions in coded depth map and rendered view are derived.Then,a precisely 3DV quali...

Nearest neighbor search algorithm based on multiple background grids for fluid simulation

The core of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is the nearest neighbor search subroutine. In this paper, a nearest neighbor search algorithm which is based on multiple background grids and support variable smooth length is introduced. Through tested on lid driven cavity flow, it is clear that this method can provide high accuracy. Analysis and experiments have been made on its parallelism, and the results show that this method has better parallelism and with adding processors its accuracy become higher, thus it achieves that efficiency grows in pace with accuracy.     

Extraction of novel features for emotion recognition

Hilbert-Huang transform method has been widely utilized from its inception because of the superiority in varieties of areas. The Hilbert spectrum thus obtained is able to reflect the distribution of the signal energy in a number of scales accurately. In this paper, a novel feature called ECC is proposed via feature extraction of the Hilbert energy spectrum which describes the distribution of the instantaneous energy. The experimental results conspicuously demonstrate that ECC outperforms the traditional short-term average energy. Combination of the ECC with mel frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCC) delineates the distribution of energy in the time domain and frequency domain, and the features of this group achieve a better recognition effect compared with the feature combination of the short-term average energy, pitch and MFCC. Afterwards, further improvements of ECC are developed. TECC is gained by combining ECC with the teager energy operator, and EFCC is obtained by introducing the instantaneous frequency to the energy. In the experiments, seven status of emotion are selected to be recognized and the highest recognition rate 83.57% is achieved within the classification accuracy of boredom reaching 100%. The numerical results indicate that the proposed features ECC, TECC and EFCC can improve the performance of speech emotion recognition substantially.

In this paper, equivalent surface impedance boundary condition (ESIBC), which takes fractal parameters (D, G) into SIBC, is implemented in the 4-component 2-D compact finite difference frequency domain (2-D CFDFD) method to an- alyze the propagation characteristics of lossy circular waveguide with fractal rough surface based on Weierstrass-Mandelbrot (W-M) function. Fractal parameters’ effects on attenuation constant are presented in the 3 mm lossy circular waveguide, and the attenuation constants of the fi...     

Implementation of advanced peripheral bus interface for MV1O MCU

MV10 is an MCU which consists of PWM,ADC,CAN and some other function blocks.It is designed for car body's control.Advanced peripheral bus (APB) is a low speed AMBA bus connecting low-power peripherals.This paper presents an implementation of APB interface for MV10 MCU.After that,MV10 can be integrated into any AMBA system on chips (SoCs) easily.We have built a multi-core system with ABMA to verify this design.In this system ARM9 is a main processor mounted on AHB and MV10 acts as a low-power and low-speed slaver on APB.Before building this system,some operations are encapsulated into a task with dedicated ID.MV10 works as a co-processor with ARM by acquiring task ID from ARM.The result of simulation indicates that MCU can work well as expected.Based on our design,MV10 can be mounted on any AMBA system from now on.

Rotenone induces more serious learning and memory impairment than α-synuclein A30P does in Drosophila

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a heterogenous disease caused by multifactorial etiology. PD is characterized by the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra and the accumulation of Lewy bodies. In this study, two Drosophila PD models by exposing Drosophila to rotenone (sporadic PD models) are proposed, and the human α-synuclein A30P protein (family PD models) in Drosophila is expressed respectively. Both models recapitulated the main human PD symptoms including the loss of dopaminergic neurons...
