New method of image retrieval based on interest image region blocks and comprehensive features

We propose an image retrieval method based on interest image region by asymmetrical blocking. An image is segmented into the interest region and background region on a certain rule. For the interest image regions, the color histogram of the uneven blocks is extracted as the color characteristic. We also collect the mean and variance value of the Gabor filtering results of background blocks as texture features of the background image. Then, the images can be retrieved by synthesizing the image color and texture features. We test our approaches by analyzing the results of recall and precision indicators for the Corel image data-base. The experiment results show that the proposed method performs effectively and accurately, which is more effective to retrieve the distant-view images, and the achieved precision increases by about 10% without loss of the retrieval call compared with some other traditional search methods.

Involvement of secondary motor areas in externally-triggered single-finger movements of dominant and non-dominant hands

Abstract Whether the secondary motor areas are involved in simple voluntary movements remains controversial. Differences in the neural substrates of movements with the dominant and the non-dominant hands have not been well documented. In the present study, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate the hemodynamic response in the primary motor cortex (M1), supple-mentary motor area (SMA) and premotor cortex (PMC) in six healthy right-handed subjects while performing a visually-guided finger-tapping task with their dominant or non-dominant hands. Significant activation was observed in M1, SMA and PMC during this externally triggered simple voluntary movement task. While dominant hand movements only activated contralateral motor areas, non-domi-nant hand movements also activated ipsilateral SMA and PMC. The results provide strong evidence for the involvement of the secondary motor areas in simple voluntarymovements, and also suggest that movements of the dominant hand primarily engage the contralateral secondary motor areas, whereas movements of the non-dominant hand engage bilateral secondary motor areas.

A flower image retrieval method based on ROI feature

Flower image retrieval is a very important step for computer-aided plant species recognition. In this paper, we propose an efficient segmentation method based on color clustering and domain knowledge to extract flower regions from flower images. For flower retrieval, we use the color histogram of a flower region to characterize the color features of flower and two shape-based features sets, Centroid-Contour Distance (CCD) and Angle Code Histogram (ACH), to characterize the shape features of a flower contour. Experimental results showed that our flower region extraction method based on color clustering and domain knowledge can produce accurate flower regions. Flower retrieval results on a database of 885 flower images collected from 14 plant species showed that our Region-of-Interest (ROI) based retrieval approach using both color and shape features can perform better than a method based on the global color histogram proposed by Swain and Ballard (1991) and a method based on domain knowledge-driven segmentation and color names proposed by Das et al.(1999).     

Color in machine vision and its application

Color is the phenomenon of human visual perception and the module of machine vision. Color information is widely used in the areas of virtual reality and human-computer interaction. Color is the product of a visual environment, illumination and the human brain. Research on color information representation and its processing is typically interdisciplinary. Based on our research work on human color perception and machine color vision and its application, we summarized the hotspots of color studies in recent developments and new approaches to color vision, including basic theories and the application of color information in virtual reality, content-based image retrieval, and face recognition.     

Microstimulation of inferotemporal cortex influences face categorization

The inferior temporal cortex (IT) of primates is thought to be the final visual area in the ventral stream of cortical areas responsible for object recognition. Consistent with this hypothesis, single IT neurons respond selectively to highly complex visual stimuli such as faces. However, a direct causal link between the activity of face-selective neurons and face perception has not been demonstrated. In the present study of macaque monkeys, we artificially activated small clusters of IT neurons by means of electrical microstimulation while the monkeys performed a categorization task, judging whether noisy visual images belonged to 'face' or 'non-face' categories. Here we show that microstimulation of face-selective sites, but not other sites, strongly biased the monkeys' decisions towards the face category. The magnitude of the effect depended upon the degree of face selectivity of the stimulation site, the size of the stimulated cluster of face-selective neurons, and the exact timing of microstimulation. Our results establish a causal relationship between the activity of face-selective neurons and face perception.

基于量化分析和公众感知的传统村落色彩景观优化研究——以闽南蟳埔村为例

色彩景观是乡土景观的重要组成部分，具有独特的地方性与民族性，色彩景观营建是否得当直接关系到村落个性和风貌的塑造，影响公众对村落景观环境的感受.研究以闽南蟳埔村为例，开展色彩特征量化分析及公众感知定性评价，研究表明：1)蟳埔村环境基底色彩略艳丽明亮杂乱，人工色彩混乱，自然色彩单调，需创造更愉悦和谐、温馨传统的氛围；2)历史人文色彩较丰富艳丽明亮，传统服饰已失去传统色彩特征，传统建筑色彩具有闽南地域特征，需创造更素雅和谐传统的色彩风貌.建议通过色彩景观统筹规划与分级管理，强化蟳埔村地域传统色彩特征，合理规范人工色彩的管理控制，丰富和提升植物景观色彩层次进行色彩景观提升.     

Attention modulates synchronized neuronal firing in primate somatosensory cortex

A potentially powerful information processing strategy in the brain is to take advantage of the temporal structure of neuronal spike trains. An increase in synchrony within the neural representation of an object or location increases the efficacy of that neural representation at the next synaptic stage in the brain; thus, increasing synchrony is a candidate for the neural correlate of attentional selection. We investigated the synchronous firing of pairs of neurons in the secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) of three monkeys trained to switch attention between a visual task and a tactile discrimination task. We found that most neuron pairs in SII cortex fired synchronously and, furthermore, that the degree of synchrony was affected by the monkey's attentional state. In the monkey performing the most difficult task, 35% of neuron pairs that fired synchronously changed their degree of synchrony when the monkey switched attention between the tactile and visual tasks. Synchrony increased in 80% and decreased in 20% of neuron pairs affected by attention.
