The exact analytical expressionsof the stationary probability distribution (SPD) and the moments of the system are derived. Furthermore, the meanfirst-passage time is calculated by the use of two approximate methods, respectively. It is found that (i) the double peaksof SPD are rubbed-down into a flat single peak with the increasing of noise intensity; (ii) a minimum occurs on the curve of the second-order moment of the system vs.noise intensity at the point DΓ=0.025;(iii)the results obtained by our approximate approach are in good agreement with the numerical calculations for either small or large correlation time Γ，while the conventional steepest descent apprximation leads to poor results.展开更多

Also, we can identify the number of descriptors needed to describe an image. In this work, we present a comparative analysis using different set of discrete orthogonal moments in terms of normalized image reconstruction error (NIRE). Color image reconstruction is performed with different color channels and various orders of different discrete orthogonal moments. Finally the results obtained by the reconstruction of three color images with different families of orthogonal moments and an error analysis to compare their capacity of description are presented, also the conclusions obtained from this work are presented.展开更多

In this paper, a simple yet effective approach for detecting and locating human faces in color images is proposed. The contribution of this paper is twofold. First, a particular reference to face detection techniques along with a background to neural networks is given. Second, and maybe most importantly, an adaptive cubic-spline neural network is designed to be used to detect and locate human faces in uncontrolled environments. The experimental results conducted on our test set show the effectiveness of the proposed approach and it can compare favorably with other state-of-the-art approaches in the literature.展开更多
