At present, the accuracy of image retrieval is a difficult problem to study, the main reason is the method of feature extraction. In order to improve the precision of image retrieval, a new image retrieval method based on multi-feature called CAUC (Comprehensive Analysis based on the Underlying Characteristics) was presented. First, based on YUV color space, the mean value and the standard deviation were used to extract the global feature from an image that depicted the global characteristics of the image, and the image bitmap was introduced to describe the local characteristics of the image. Secondly, the compactness and Krawtchouk moment were extracted to describe the shape features. Then, the texture features were described by the improved four-pixel co-occurrence matrix. Finally, the similarity between images was computed based on multi-feature fusion, and the images with high similarity were returned.On Corel-1000 image set, the comparative experiments with method which only considered four-pixel co-occurrence matrix showed that the retrieval time of CAUC was greatly reduced without significantly reducing the precision and recall. In addition, compared with the other two kinds of retrieval methods based on multi-feature fusion, CAUC improved the precision and recall with high retrieval speed. The experimental results demonstrate that CAUC method is effective to extract the image feature, and improve retrieval efficiency.
In order to deal with the channel fading in Underwater Wireless Sensor Networks (UWSN) changing randomly in time-space-frequency domain, underwater cooperative communication model with relays was proposed in this paper to improve reliability and obtain diversity gain of the communication system. Based on the new model, a relay selection algorithm for UWSN was proposed. The new relay selection algorithm used new evaluation criteria to select the best relay node by considering two indicators: channel gain and long delay. With the selected relay node, source node and relay nodes could adjust their sending power by the power allocation algorithm which was based on the principle of minimizing the bit error rate. In a typical scenario, by comparing with the traditional relay selecting algorithm and equal power allocation algorithm, the new algorithm reduces the delay by 16.7% and lowers bit error rate by 1.81dB.
In order to improve the speed and accuracy of image retrieval, the drawbacks of image retrieval based on a variety of clustering algorithms were analyzed, then a new partition clustering method for image retrieval was presented in this paper. First, based on the asymmetrical quantization of the color in HSV model, color feature of image was extracted by color coherence vectors. Then, global shape feature of image was extracted based on improved Hu invariant moment. Finally,images were clustered based on contribution according to color and shape features, and image feature index library was established. The methods described above were used for image retrieval based Corel image library. The experimental results show that compared with image retrieval algorithms based on improved K-means algorithms, precision ratio and recall ratio of the proposed algorithm are improved greatly.
The performance of DiffServ in wireless ad hoc networks was evaluated by simulation. The simulation results show that bandwidths obtained by high and low priority traffics were not consistent with their WRR(Weighted Round Robin) weight ratios. Combined with simulation trace, this phenomenon is caused by MAC mechanism. We conclude that it is impossible to proportionally distribute resource only using DiffServ at network layer in wireless ad hoc networks.
