This paper derives the relationship between the coefficients of the Fourier expansion of a periodic signal and the coefficients of the wavelet expansion of the same signal. The formula derived shows how the Fourier concept of frequency and the wavelet concept of scale are related and how the wavelet coefficients display the information contained in the signal in a new way. The relationship also shows how the wavelet expansion can be used to approximately calculate the Fourier coefficients.

Decomposition into level sets refers to assigning a code with respect to intensity or elevation while labeling refers to assigning a code with respect to disconnected regions. We present a sequence of parallel algorithms for these two processes. The process of labeling includes re-assign labels into a natural sequence and compare different labeling algorithm. We discuss the difference between edge-based and region-based labeling. The speed improvements in this labeling scheme come from the collective efficiency of different techniques. We have implemented these algorithms on an in-house built Geometric Single Instruction Multiple Data (GSIMD) parallel machine with global buses and a Multiple Instruction Multiple Data (MIMD) controller. This allows real time image interpretation on live data at a rate that is much higher than video rate. The performance figures will be shown.

This paper presents a simple and effective method for the concurrent manipulation of linearly ordered data structures on hypercube systems, and extends it to cater to multidimensional images. The method is based on the existence of a binomial search tree rooted at any arbitrary processor node of the hypercube such that (i) every edge of the tree corresponds to a direct link between a pair of hypercube nodes, and (ii) it spans any arbitrary sequence of n consecutive nodes as specified by a gray code ordering, using a fan-out of at most [log2n] and a depth of ([log2n] + 1) . The search trees spanning different processor lists are vertex disjoint and are formed dynamically and concurrently, They can be specified using information local to each node. Thus, they can be used for performing operations such as broadcast and merge simultaneously on image components with non-uniform sizes. The concurrent search reduces the complexity of several low and intermediate-level image processingalgorithms to depend on the size of the largest image segment rather than the size of the entire image.

The problem of image restoration from noisy measurements as encountered in nuclear medicine is considered. A model for the emission/detection process is introduced, which is based on the Poisson statistics of the emissions and a point-spread function for the imaging system. A new approach for treating the measurements is given, in which they are represented by a spatial non-causal interaction model before maximum entropy restoration, which describes the statistical dependence among the image values and their neighbourhood. The particular application of the algorithms presented here relates to gamma-ray imaging systems, and is aimed at improving the resolution–noise-suppression product. Results for actual gamma camera data are presented and compared with more conventional techniques.

The ability to classify texture regions in images is considered to be an important aspect of scene analysis. The information gained from such classification can be used by a computer vision system to assist in image segmentation as well as object identification. In this paper, the use of a neural network model in performing classification of images containing regular textures is investigated. The texture features used in the classification process are Hough transform-based descriptors. The performance and capabilities of the neural network approach are then compared to classical technique utilizing a linear associative memory.

An algorithm is proposed to estimate the general motion of multiple moving objects in an image sequence. The general motion is described by a general motion model which is specified by number of parameters called motion parameters. By estimating the individual motion of the objects, segmentation according to motion is achieved at the same time. The algorithm works directly on an image sequence without using any higher level information such as corners and edges. Furthermore, it is not necessary to go through the estimation of optical flow as an intermediate step, avoiding the error caused by estimating optical flow.

We suggest an active method for overcoming a discontinuous problem of shape from shading. In general the characreteristics of discontinuity doesn''t well come out in scene. Hence we use a camera with the small depth of field so that the attribute of discontinuity is exposed appropriately. In this case 3D information is represented by the degree of defocusing in 2D image plane. And objects in scene can be segmented according to the degree of defocusing. We simulate four algorithms - Brooks Horn''s algorithm the revised its algorithm the resistive net without line processor and the up and low threshold resistive net with respect to the synthetic image. We can see that the success of algorithm depends on the precision of detecting the degree of defocus.

This paper proposes image compression using an advanced neural network in which a variable input-output function of a neural unit can be learnt as well as a weight coefficient of a neural connection corresponding to information source and application. Since the neural network has the improved learning capability for local nonlinearity of information source, its application to compression of nonlinear information such as image is investigated. A learning algorithm and adaptive controlling schemes of input-output functions are derived. Simulation results show that the neural network can achieve higher SNR and shorter learning time than a conventional network having only variable weights.
