摘要:Motion estimation refers to estimating 2D motion vector field of the scene or object according to temporal information redundancy in a clipped video.It plays a key role in the super resolution image restoration technique,which maps pixels of all low resolution observations onto corresponding pixels in the reference frame.So its accuracy is highly required.Block-based motion estimation is widely used in super resolution image restoration.This paper introduces the model of block-based motion estimation,summarizes four categories of fast motion estimation methods,describes in detail the search process of several influential algorithms belonging to the first category,and then compares several fast block-matching algorithms.
摘要:Edge detection is a fundamental issue in synthetic aperture radar(SAR)image interpretation.The multiplicative noise makes edge detection in SAR image extremely difficult,and the typical edge detectors based on gradients are inefficient when applied to SAR images.So developing edge detectors especially for SAR image is of great importance.This paper investigates the problem of edge detection for SAR images comprehensively and thoroughly.It first describes the problem of edge detection for SAR images,and then discusses several well-known edge detection methods and two key points in SAR image edge detection-edge thinning and localization.To evaluate edge detector quantitatively,some performance criteria are summarized.In the end of this paper,conclusions are made and the possible future work is explained.
摘要:Image mosaic has been researched for several years,but still it is hard to realize mosaic without ghosting and exposure difference.In this paper,for resolving these two problems,a new image mosaic method based on graph cut is presented.This method integrates two techniques:first graph cut,it is used to calculate a robust graph cut seam-line for deghosting by initializing the weighted directed graph with gradient direction histogram of each pixel;second Poisson image fusion,to further eliminate the exposure difference by an overlap transition Poisson image fusion procedure.Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed method.
摘要:Image super-resolution reconstruction(SRR)refers to a signal processing approach which produces high-resolution images from observed multiple low-resolution images.Many image SRR algorithms assume that the blurring process,i.e.,point spread function(PSF)of the imaging system is known prior to reconstruction.However,the blurring process is not known or is known only to within a set of parameters in many practical applications.In this paper,we propose an approach for blind image SRR based on double regularization by parametrizing PSF.A space-adaptive regularization method for image SRR is used to preserve detail at the textured regions and suppress noise in the smooth background.In the scheme,PSF parameter(s)and the high-resolution image are estimated by alternating minimization method.The demand for precision of minimizations is varied during the optimization procedure in order to reduce the computation cost.Experimental results from a synthetic image sequence show that blur parameters are approximated actually and the reconstructed image is visually pleasing.
摘要:The traditional image interpolation involving zeroth-order,bilinear,and cubic spline interpolation mostly depends on a piece-wise continuous and smooth modeling of image.In view of the ability to capture the feature of natural image connected with the modeling,the quality of interpolated image is not desirable.A new interpolation algorithm based on the wavelet-fractal(FW)coding is proposed with more efficient interpolation strategy.By the aid of the local self-similarity modeling of image,the new interpolation algorithm using FW coding is implemented by the dilation of tree wavelet.The super-resolution zeroth subband is optimized predicted by the first subband in the wavelet domain.And then the interpolated image can be obtained by the inverse wavelet transform.The experiments of the standard images suggest that the new algorithm can obtain distinct texture and edge of the images and higher peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR)compared with the traditional bilinear strategy.As a result,the image interpolated by the new algorithm is accurate and real.

摘要:In this paper,a new motion estimation and motion compensation scheme based on irregular mesh is proposed using a shift invariant redundant wavelet transform.Control points and PMA(potential motion areas)are identified with a simple correlated operator in the redundant wavelet subbands,while motion estimation is completed through incorporating the PMA into block matching algorithm in spatial domain.The motion compensation is realized through an affine transform mapping triangles from one frame to the other.Furthermore,we give a mask of the PMA.We compared it empirically to the two other ME/MC methods both based on regular mesh deployed in the spatial and based on irregular mesh deployed in the redundant wavelet domain.Experimental results indicate that the complexity has been reduced and the compensation effect could be improved compared to the other two ME/MC methods.

摘要:Vector median filter(VMF)is a kind of traditional highly effective vector filter which is mainly used to remove impulsive noise from color images.But it fails to distinguish thin lines and boundaries from impulsive noise,and usually filter them out.This paper analyzes quaternion rotation theory and its applications to color image processing.Based on this analysis and by imitating Laplacian operators,a new color impulse detector is presented.Combining this color impulse detector with the traditional VMF,a new kind of switching vector median filters is proposed.The experimental results show that,compared with the traditional VMF and some of the representative vector filters and recently developed vector filters,uhe proposed approach,not only effectively preserves the fine details,but also provides better filtering performance.

摘要:Image segmentation is an important process in image processing.The quality of image segmentation directly affects the following analysis and recognition.Because evolutionary agent has some advantages such as self-fitness non-linear mapping and ability of parallel disposal,this paper presents an autonomous agent-based image segmentation approach.In this approach,a digital image is viewed as a two-dimensional cellular environment in which the agents inhabit and attempt to label homogeneous segments.The agents rely on some reactive behaviors such as breeding and diffusion.The agents that are successful in finding the pixels of a specific homogeneous segment will breed offspring agents inside their neighboring regions.Hence,the offspring agents will become likely to find more homogeneous-segment pixels.In the mean time,the unsuccessful agents will be inactivated without further search in the environment.It can be seen from our experiment in medical chest CT image and brain MRI image that this method can better extract interesting regions.

摘要:This paper addressed the image discriminant analysis problem.By constructing the scattering matrices of the image matrices,Foley-Sammon discriminant analysis(FSLDA)are transformed into a bi-objective optimization problem with uncorrelated constraint for improving the speed of feature extraction and the recognition rate.The efficient projection vector is defined and the efficient projection vector can be obtained from deciding the eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue of maximum of a generalized eigen-equation.Compared with the other image projection analysis methods,the proposed method has the following properties:(1)the scattering matrices are directly based on image matrices;(2)the efficient projection vectors are statistically uncorrelated;(3)the within scattering matrix is not necessarily invertible and some matrix inversions are not performed.Finally,the proposed method is tested on ORL and NUST603 face databases.The experimental results indicate that the recognition performance of the proposed method is prior to the other methods,and its speed for feature extraction is faster than the above methods.
摘要:Fisher linear discriminant analysis(LDA),a well-known feature extraction method,searches for the projection axes on which the data samples from different classes are far from each other while requiring data samples of the same class to be close to each other.Large margin classifier(LMC),also referred as linear support vector machine,de finds a project direction onto which two classes of the samples projected reach maximal margin.With combination of advantages of both LDA and LMC,the paper develops a novel linear projection classfication algorithm,called Fisher large margin linear classifier.The underlying idea is that an optimal discrimiant vector wbest is found along which the samples of high dimensional input space are projected such that the margin is maximized while within-class scatter is kept as small as possible.In addition,relations to other classifiers are explored in theory in this paper.Finally,the proposed method is tested on ORL face database and FERET face database.The experimental results show that the proposed classifier outperforms other linear classifiers.

摘要:Palmprint has been demonstrated as one of the most convenient and powerful method in personal verification.This paper proposes a new characteristic called "orientation-texture feature" in palmprint when analyzing its features.First we adopt method to extract the region of interest by tracking the optimal ellipse in the palmprint area.The method is robust to shift,rotation,stretch and other interference.Then we use multichannel-sampling Gabor filters,which simulates certain characteristics of the human visual system,to process and filter our image.The filter we design can automatically adapt to the image via selecting parameters according to our analysis of the width and orientation of the texture.In the filtering stage,we use different filters from different orientations and widths to extract features in palmprint from ridge,wrinkle,and principle line resolutions,and compute its block energy in polar axis by using an optimized ring-orientation projective algorithm.By adopting FCM clustering algorithm,demonstrate that this approach has its advantage of high verification rate in palm print.
