一种基于Radon变换的微表情识别算法

微表情是人们处在一些与平时生活环境不同的高强度环境下试图控制和掩饰的情感表现,也是一种不曾意识到的瞬时脸部表情,持续时间短,强度弱。为了提高其准确率,提出了基于Radon变换的微表情识别算法。首先,对数据库中的视频序列进行灰度归一化、尺寸归一化和二维主成分分析法（Two-dimensional Principal Component Analysis,2DPCA）降维预处理,使用光流法对降维后图像提取运动特征;然后使用Radon变换算法对光流图像进行处理,得到对应微表情的特征值和特征图像;最后使用支持向量机进行微表情分类识别。实验结果表明,使用Radon变换后得到的微表情特征图像得到了较好的识别效果,在微表情数据集CASME和CASMEⅡ上识别率分别为81.48%和82.17%,通过与选取的其他方法对比说明了该方法具有更好的识别性能。

分式布朗运动模型下的金融市场风险度量--以上证指数为例

金融市场风险度量在金融风险度量乃至于整个金融风险管理过程中都具有十分重要的地位。本文基于2013年至2014年上证指数的收盘数据,通过对分式布朗运动驱动的随机微分方程进行离散化处理,用其解（分式几何布朗运动）模拟上证指数的未来走势。在此基础上,采用Monte Carlo模拟法模拟出上证指数的价值分布与损益分布。最后,在95％的置信水平下计算出上证指数的在险价值（ VaR）。相对于传统股票价格预测模型---布朗运动模型,分式布朗运动模型更符合金融问题本身;利用Monte Carlo模拟法不再借助于股票价格历史数据。故而本模型对市场金融风险的预测精度更高。     

Automatic extraction of 1D barcodes from video scans for drone-assisted inventory management in warehousing applications

The widespread use of barcodes has significantly contributed to accurate, efficient and economic inventory management in warehouses and distribution centres. However, its efficiency has always been limited by the primary method of reading barcodes with a handheld laser scanner. Compared with this reading by line-of-sight at close proximity, vision-based barcode reading algorithms can further improve efficiency, particularly if accompanied by automated data collection platforms such as drones. This paper introduces algorithms that are able to automatically extract barcodes from video data, and verifies their feasibility and promise for inventory management in warehousing applications. Three key techniques corresponding to different recognition levels are proposed: For a known barcode region, a Harris corner detector and Hough transform-based algorithm is applied to quickly estimate the angle by which the frame area needs to rotate to orient the bars vertically for information extraction. Then, the idea of exploiting connectivity and geometry property of barcode areas is proposed to directly recognise multiple barcode regions in a single video frame to eliminate reading difficulties resulting from interactive influence of multiple juxtaposed barcodes, and to save computation time by only processing frame areas of interest for valid barcodes. In addition, a histogram difference-based fast extraction strategy is designed to further improve efficiency by reducing duplicate information processing. Finally, the performance of each technique is evaluated by analysing video data from a large logistics warehouse, demonstrating satisfactory performance in inventory management applications.     

Revisiting Purchasing Power Parity in OECD

This study revisits Purchasing Power Parity theory (PPP) in the 34 OECD countries during January 1994–August 2013. We use a new panel stationary test with both sharp breaks and smooth shifts, a novel approach to panel unit-root testing, proposed by Bahmani–Oskooee et al. (2014). The results indicate that the PPP holds in half of the 34 OECD countries. These results indicate the importance of proper modelling of both sharp breaks and smooth shifts in real effective exchange rate series of OECD countries.     

碳债券的估值及敏感性分析

论文以2014年5月13日中广核电附加碳收益中期票据的成功发行为背景,在假设核证碳减排量(CER)服从几何分形过程的情况下,结合分形过程的蒙特卡洛模拟,研究了中期碳债券的设计和估值问题,并分析了不同的期权条款设计带来的风险差异。研究认为相对较复杂的强路径依赖型亚式浮息碳债券,在碳现货价格波动性较大的情况下,简单的欧式浮息碳债券是更好的设计选择。     

西部欠发达地区经济从资源型向创新驱动型的转变

经济增长不能以浪费资源、破坏环境和牺牲子孙后代的利益为代价,要合理开发利用资源和保护生态环境,切实转变消耗高、资源浪费、污染环境的粗放型经济发展方式。本文以甘肃为例,分析了资源型经济向创新驱动型经济的转型,指出调整经济结构、转变经济发展方式是落实科学发展观,从根本上缓解资源约束,减轻环境压力,实现全面建设小康社会目标和经济可持续发展的必然选择。     

衡水市历史文化资源的旅游转换与开发

衡水历史文化资源丰富,特色鲜明。从城市建设发展的角度看,推动历史文化资源向旅游景观转换,使城市化建设与历史文化资源浑然一体,交相辉映,是当前发展衡水市旅游事业以及城市建设的一个重要课题。文章认为,衡水历史文化资源的旅游转换与开发应从历史文化名人资源的旅游转换与开发、红色历史文化资源的转换与开发、工艺品类历史文化资源的转换与开发、文物古迹的旅游转换与开发等方面着手。     

Unobserved firm heterogeneity and the size-exports nexus: Evidence from German panel data

This paper starts from the stylized fact that firm size and exporting tends to be positively related. Using large sets of establishment panel data for three different industries from official statistics, evidence is presented that the familiar picture of an export/sales ratio that increases (at a decreasing rate) with firm size vanishes if unobserved firm heterogeneity is controlled for in a fixed-effects fractional logit regression model. This finding is well in line with the fact that many small firms are “hidden export champions.” JEL no. F10, D21, L60
