Pattern recognition is an important function of information processing in brain. Due to heterogeneous degree of scale-free network, different blurred ways have different influences on pattern recognition with same errors. Simulation shows that among partial recognition, the larger loading ratio (the number of patterns to average degree P/ (k) ) is, the smaller the overlap of SFHN is. The influence of directed (large) way is largest and the directed (small) way is smallest while random way is intermediate between them. Under the ratio of the numbers of stored patterns to the size of the network PIN is less than O. 1 conditions, there are three families curves of the overlap corresponding to directed (small), random and directed (large) blurred ways of patterns and these curves are not associated with the size of network and the number of patterns. This phenomenon only occurs in the SFHN. These conclusions are benefit for understanding the relation between neural network structure and brain function.展开更多

In order to recover the image and gain recognizable target, an approach to recover the space-variant blurred image is presented based on image segmentation. Be- cause of motion blur's convolution process, the pixels of observed image's target and background will be displaced and piled up to produce two superposition regions. As a result, the neighbor- ing pixels in the superposition regions will have similar grey level change. According to the pixel's motion-blur character, the target's blurred edge of superposition region could be detected. Canny operator can be recurred to detect the target edge which parallels the motion blur direction. Then in the segmentation process, the whole target image which has the character of integral convolution between motion blur and real target image can be obtained. At last, the target image is restored by deconvolution algorithms with adding zeros. The restoration result indicates that the approach can effectively solve the kind of problem of space-variant motion blurred image restoration.展开更多

Both the motion direction and the length of the point spread function (PSF) are estimated by Radon transformation and extrema a detection. Using the estimated blur parameters, the permuted image is restored by performing the L-R blind restoration method. The permutation mixing matrices can be accurately estimated by classifying the ringing effect in the restored image, thereby the source images can be separated. Simulation results show a better separation efficiency for the permuted motion blurred image with various permutation operations. The proposed algorithm indicates a better performance on the robustness against Gaussian noise and lossy JPEG compression.展开更多

Based on the statistical properties of the natural image's gradient and the blur kernel, a blind deconvolution algorithm is proposed to restore the motion-blurred image caused by camera shake, adopting the variational Bayesian estimation theory. In addition, the ring effect is one problem that is not avoided in the process of image deconvolution, and usually makes the visual effect of the restored image badly. So a dering method is put forward based on the sub-region detection and fuzzy filter. Tested on the real blurred photographs, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm of blind image deconvolution can remove the camera-shake motion blur from the degraded image effectively, and can eliminate the ring effect better, while preserve the edges and details of the image well.展开更多

文摘BACKGROUND Globally,although the jellyfish population has increased in recent years,ocular jellyfish stings remain an uncommon ophthalmic emergency,and have been rarely reported.According to a few previous reports,ocular jellyfish stings may cause anterior segment disorders,and most of these injuries were self-limited and spontaneously resolved within 24 to 48 h.CASE SUMMARY A brother and sister both presented with severe fundus complications several years after ocular jellyfish stings and both had prolonged blurred vision.To our knowledge,such fundus lesions induced by jellyfish stings have not been reported previously.CONCLUSION The fundus status of patients following ocular jellyfish stings should be carefully monitored in cases of irreversible ocular damage.
文摘This paper introduces a new effective method to restore the uniform linear motion blurred im-age. The effect of the out-of-frame pixels on the blurring process and the estimate of these pixelsare analysed. The restoration qualities of different deblurring methods are compared. Finally, theauthors come to a conclusion that it is impossible to determine the length of blurring movement infrequency domain.
