Extract information of polarization imaging from local matching stereo
2010
Since polarization of light was used in the field of computer vision, the research of polarization vision is rapidly growing. Polarization vision has been shown to simplify some important image understanding tasks that can be more difficult to be performed with intensity vision. Furthermore, it has computational efficiency because it only needs grayscale images and can be easily applied by a simple optical setup. Nowadays, we can find various types of polarization cameras in the market. However, they are very expensive. In our work, we will study and develop a low price polarization camera setup with parallel acquisition using a stereo system. This system requires only two general cameras e…
Choosing local matching score method for stereo matching based-on polarization imaging
2010
Polarization imaging is a powerful tool to observe hidden information from an observed object. It has significant advantages, such as computational efficiency (it only needs gray scale images) and can be easily applied by adding a polarizer in front of a camera. Many researchers used polarization in various areas of computer vision, such as object recognition, segmentation and so on. However, there is very little research in stereo vision based on polarization. Stereo vision is a well known technique for obtaining depth information from pairs of stereo digital images. One of the main focuses of research in this area is to get accurate stereo correspondences. In our work, we will study and d…
Estimating intrinsic image from successive images by solving underdetermined and overdetermined systems of the dichromatic model
2020
International audience; Estimating an intrinsic image from a sequence of successive images taken from an object at different angles of illumination can be used in various applications such as objects recognition, color classification, and the like; because, in so doing, it can provide more visual information. Meanwhile, according to the well-known dichromatic model, each image can be considered a linear combination of three components, including intrinsic image, shading factor, and specularity. In this study, at first, two simple independent constrained and parallelized quadratic programming steps were used for computing values of the shading factor and the specularity of each successive of…
<title>Spectral/spatial integration effects on information extraction from multispectral data: multiresolution approaches</title>
1995
New techniques for information extraction from multispectral data require physical modeling to understand the energy transfer at the atmosphere/surface interface and to develop appropriate inversion procedures, in combination with advanced processing techniques. A multi-step procedure is proposed in this work: the first step implies a binary decision about the second step to be applied in each case. If the pixel is considered as being a `pure' pixel, through a spectral/spatial classification procedure based on multiresolution techniques, then numerical inversion techniques, based on a multiple-scattering reflectance model, are used to extract parameters representing specific surface propert…
Image Colorization Method Using Texture Descriptors and ISLIC Segmentation
2017
We present a new colorization method to assign color to a grayscale image based on a reference color image using texture descriptors and Improved Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (ISLIC). Firstly, the pixels of images are classified using Support Vector Machine (SVM) according to texture descriptors, mean luminance, entropy, homogeneity, correlation, and local binary pattern (LBP) features. Then, the grayscale image and the color image are segmented into superpixels, which are obtained by ISLIC to produce more uniform and regularly shaped superpixels than those obtained by SLIC, and the classified images are further post-processed combined with superpixles for removing erroneous classific…
Selective Change-Driven Image Processing: A Speeding-Up Strategy
2009
Biologically inspired schemes are a source for the improvement of visual systems. Real-time implementation of image processing algorithms is constrained by the large amount of data to be processed. Full image processing is many times unnecessary since there are many pixels that suffer a small change or not suffer any change at all. A strategy based on delivering and processing pixels, instead of processing the complete frame, is presented. The pixels that have suffered higher changes in each frame, ordered by the absolute value of its change, are read-out and processed. Two examples are shown: a morphological motion detection algorithm and the Horn and Schunck optical flow algorithm. Result…
Texture Discrimination Using Hierarchical Complex Networks
2008
Texture analysis represents one of the main areas in image processing and computer vision. The current article describes how complex networks have been used in order to represent and characterized textures. More speci?cally, networks are derived from the texture images by expressing pixels as network nodes and similarities between pixels as network edges. Then, measurements such as the node degree, strengths and clustering coe?cient are used in order to quantify properties of the connectivity and topology of the analyzed networks. Because such properties are directly related to the structure of the respective texture images, they can be used as features for characterizing and classifying te…
Affine camera calibration from homographies of parallel planes
2010
This paper deals with the problem of retrieving the affine structure of a scene from two or more images of parallel planes. We propose a new approach that is solely based on plane homographies, calculated from point correspondences, and that does not require the recovery of the 3D structure of the scene. Neither vanishing points nor lines need to be extracted from the images. The case of a moving camera with constant intrinsic parameters and the one of cameras with possibly different parameters are both addressed. Extensive experiments with both synthetic and real images have validated our approach.
Image Compression by 2D Motif Basis
2011
Approaches to image compression and indexing based on extensions to 2D of some of the Lempel-Ziv incremental parsing techniques have been proposed in the recent past. In these approaches, an image is decomposed into a number of patches, consisting each of a square or rectangular solid block. This paper proposes image compression techniques based on patches that are not necessarily solid blocks, but are affected instead by a controlled number of undetermined or don't care pixels. Such patches are chosen from a set of candidate motifs that are extracted in turn from the image 2D motif basis, the latter consisting of a compact set of patterns that result from the autocorrelation of the image w…
Electron Holography for Electric and Magnetic Field Measurements and Its Application for Nanophysics
2011
Abstract Texture constitutes one of the fundamental properties of objects besides color and shape. In several image analysis applications, it is often the only exploitable quality of objects. As such, it has been studied, described, segmented, synthesized, or in short, analyzed extensively. Among the plethora of texture description methods, mathematical morphology deserves special attention as it excels at the exploitation of spatial relationships among pixels, rendering it inherently suitable for texture description. In this chapter, we focus on morphological texture description methods for grey-scale and color images in an effort to spread the advantages of this framework in the context o…
