Chinese calligraphy is pictographic and each calligraphist has his own writing style. People often feel difficult in writing a demanded beautiful calligraphy style. In order to help people enjoy the art of calligraphy and learn how it is written step-by-step we present a new approach to animate its writing process by 3-D visualization method. In this paper some novel algorithms used in the approach are presented to solve the following problems: 1) estimate varied stroke's thickness 2) extract strokes order from an offline Chinese calligraphic writing. Through this approach we implement a system. Experimental result is given to demonstrate the application finally.

Breast cancer has high incidences and mortality rates in women worldwide.Malignancy could be detected manually by experienced pathologists based on Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained images. However, it is time-consuming and experience-dependent, making early diagnosis a big challenge. In this paper, a methodology for breast cancer classification based on histopathological images with deep learning was described. A residual learning-based convolutional neural network named myResNet-34 was designed for malignancy-and-benign classification. In addition, an algorithm automatically generating the target image for stain normalization was proposed, which eliminated the bias caused by manual selection of the reference image. Elastic distortion was introduced and combined with affine transformation for data augmentation considering the characteristics of the H&E images. Experiments were conducted on BreakHis dataset with the proposed framework. Promising results were achieved with an average classification accuracy of around 91% on image-level classification. Results indicated that both our data augmentation and stain normalization effectively improved the classification accuracy by 2-3%.
