A good mastery of an English word covers its pronunciation, spelling, part of speech, meaning and application. This article will focus only on factors affecting the retention and application of a word from the perspective of semantic disparities, different defining angles in English and Chinese, emotional coloring and styles, morphological changes, and collocation. The author hopes that this article will be able to provide some insights into vocabulary teaching.展开更多

Because the TV signal is a kind of pseudoperiodic signal, the matched filtering of color TV signals would yield high sidelobes which cause the range ambiguity. To overcome this problem, the mismatched filter is proposed to suppress the correlation sidelobcs of matched filtering of TV signals. By utilizing the iteration process, this method could achieve the required peak sidclobc level. The impacts of the noise and target movement on mismatched filtering are also analysed, Simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.展开更多

The algorithm consists of three image processing steps. The first step is human skin color statistics. Then it separates skin regions from non-skin regions. After that, it locates the fronta l human face(s) within the skin regions. In the first step, 250 skin samples from persons of different ethnicities are used to determine the color distribution o f human skin in chromatic color space in order to get a chroma chart showing lik elihoods of skin colors. This chroma chart is used to generate, from the origina l color image, a gray scale image whose gray value at a pixel shows its likelih ood of representing the skin. The algorithm uses an adaptive thresholding proces s to achieve the optimal threshold value for dividing the gray scale image into separate skin regions from non skin regions. Finally, multiple face templates ma tching is used to determine if a given skin region represents a frontal human fa ce or not. Test of the system with more than 400 color images showed that the re sulting detection rate was 83%, which is better than most color-based face dete c tion systems. The average speed for face detection is 0.8 second/image (400×300 pixels) on a Pentium 3 (800MHz) PC.展开更多

This paper proposes a color tracking method based on correlation search area optimization on target characteristic hue decision. By quantifying and reducing dimensions of HSV（ hue saturation value） color space, a one-dimensional hue space is constructed. In the space, the target characteristic hue granule set is constructed, which contains attributes such as value, area and average distance between pixels and aiming center. By using granular computing method, the similarity between target and search blocks is obtained and the invalid search areas can be removed. The color tracking experiment has proved that the algorithm can improve real time performance for conventional matching algorithms without precision lost.展开更多
