When the object is presented, the system makes use of the motion information over consecutive frames to extract object features and implements machine learning based on the bag of visual words approach. Instead of using a local feature descriptor only, the proposed system uses the co-occurring local features in order to increase feature discriminative power for both object model learning and inference stages. For different objects with different textures, a hybrid sampling strategy is considered. This hybrid approach minimizes the consumption of computation resources and helps achieving good performances demonstrated on a set of a dozen different daily objects.展开更多

After successful modeling, no treatment was applied to the rats in the model group. Rats in each acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at bilateral Jingming(BL 1), Cuanzhu(BL 2), Fengchi(GB 20) and Guangming(GB 37), started from the 3rd day, 12 th day or 21 st day after modeling separately, once a day, for a total of 9 d treatment. The neuronal discharge frequency and action potential inter-spike interval(ISI) in the rat visual cortex area 17 of each group were measured by multi-channel microelectrode array nerve signal technique.Results: The discharge number of neurons in the visual cortex of the model group was significantly lower than that in the blank control group(P〈0.05). After treatment, the discharge numbers in the early-stage acupuncture group and the middle-stage acupuncture group were significantly higher than that in the model group(P〈0.05). There was no significant difference in the discharge numbers between the late-stage acupuncture group and the model group(P〉0.05). The discharge number in the middle-stage acupuncture group was lower than that in the early-stage acupuncture group(P〈0.05), and the discharge number of the late-stage acupuncture group was lower than that in the middle-stage acupuncture group(P〈0.05). The ISI sequences of the visual cortex neurons were mainly distributed under 0.3 s in the blank control group, under 15 s in the model group, under 1 s in the early-stage acupuncture group, under 4 s in the middle-stage acupuncture group, and under 10 s in the late-stage acupuncture group, divergent in each group.Conclusion: The neuronal coding appears abnormality in the visual cortex area 17 of monocular deprivation rats, indicating that there is a plasticity change in the visual cortex neurons during the sensitive period. Acupuncture has a significant effect on the abnormal neural coding. The therapeutic efficacy is closely related to the stage to start the treatment. Early stage treatment in the sensitive period is the key to achieving the good efficacy.展开更多
