Non-local means (NLM) algorithm is an effective and successful denoising method, but it is computationally heavy. To deal with this obstacle, we propose a novel NLM algorithm with fuzzy metric (FM-NLM) for image denoising in this paper. A new feature metric of visual features with fuzzy metric is utilized to measure the similarity between image pixels in the presence of Gaussian noise. Similarity measures of luminance and structure information are calculated using a fuzzy metric. A smooth kernel is constructed with the proposed fuzzy metric instead of the Gaussian weighted L2 norm kernel. The fuzzy metric and smooth kernel computationally simplify the NLM algorithm and avoid the filter parameters. Meanwhile, the proposed FM-NLM using visual structure preferably preserves the original undistorted image structures. The performance of the improved method is visually and quantitatively comparable with or better than that of the current state-of-the-art NLM-based denoising algorithms.

커널을 이용한 회귀선의 추정은 단지 참 함수의 미분성만을 요구하는 비모수적인 회귀선의 추정방법이다. 유한구간에서 어떤 곡선의 완만한 추정곡선을 커널을 이용하여 추정할 때 추 정량의 전체적인 성능을 감소시키는 바운더리 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본논문에서는 바운더 리 문제를 다룰수 있는 커널을 개발하였다. Gray와 Schcany(1972)의 일반화된 jackknife 방 법을 이용하여 바운더리 커널을 개발하였고 또한 이 바운더리 커널이 이 바운더리 커널과 같은 수렴속도를 갖는 것을 보였다.

Background: Persistent uroliths after a cystotomy in dogs are a common cause of surgical failure. Objectives: This study examined the following: the success rate of retrograde urohydropropulsion in male dogs using non-enhanced computed tomography (CT), whether the CT mean beam attenuation values in Hounsfield Units (mHU) measured in vivo could predict the urolithiasis composition and whether the selected reconstruction kernel may influence the measured mHU. Methods: All dogs and cats that presented with lower urinary tract uroliths and had a non-enhanced CT preceding surgery were included. In male dogs, CT was performed after retrograde urohydropropulsion to detect the remaining urethral calculi. The percentage and location of persistent calculi were recorded. The images were reconstructed using three kernels, from smooth to ultrasharp, and the calculi mHU were measured. Results: Sixty-five patients were included in the study. The success rate of retrograde urohydropropulsion in the 45 male dogs was 55.6% and 86.7% at the first and second attempts, respectively. The predominant components of the calculi were cystine (20), struvite (15), calcium oxalate (8), and urate (7). The convolution kernel influenced the mHU values (p < 0.05). The difference in mHU regarding the calculus composition was better assessed using the smoother kernel. A mHU greater than 1,000 HU was predictive of calcium oxalate calculi. Conclusions: Non-enhanced CT is useful for controlling the success of retrograde urohydropropulsion. The mHU could allow a prediction of the calculus composition, particularly for calcium oxalate, which may help determine the therapeutic strategy.

In this paper, we investigate the weighted vector-valued bounds for a class of multilinear singular integral operators, and its commutators, from $L^{p_1}(l^{q_1};\;{\mathbb{R}}^n,\;w_1){\times}{\cdots}{\times}L^{p_m}(l^{q_m};\;{\mathbb{R}}^n,\;w_m)$ to $L^p(l^q;\;{\mathbb{R}}^n,\;{\nu}_{\vec{w}})$, with $p_1,{\cdots},p_m$, $q_1,{\cdots},q_m{\in}(1,\;{\infty})$, $1/p=1/p_1+{\cdots}+1/p_m$, $1/q=1/q_1+{\cdots}+1/q_m$ and ${\vec{w}}=(w_1,{\cdots},w_m)$ a multiple $A_{\vec{P}}$ weights. Our argument also leads to the weighted weak type endpoint estimates for the commutators. As applications, we obtain some new weighted estimates for the $Calder{\acute{o}}n$ commutator.

In this paper, an elderly assistance system is developed based on Xenomai, a real-time development framework cooperating with the Linux kernel. A Kinect sensor is used to recognize the behavior of the elderly and A-star search algorithm is implemented to find the shortest path to the person. The mobile robot also generates a trajectory using a digital convolution operator which is based on a Bezier curve for smooth driving. In order to follow the generated trajectory within the control period, we developed real-time tasks and compared the performance of the tracking trajectory with that of non real-time tasks. The real-time task has a better result on following the trajectory within the physical constraints which means that it is more appropriate to apply to an elderly assistant system.
