This paper proposed an algorithm that detects traffic light colors for colorblind individuals, the proposed algorithm employs imageprocessing techniques associated in imageprocessing toolbox in LabVIEW to help colorblind individuals in identifying the colors of traffic lights. It uses a fixed mobile camera to capture traffic light images taken in different roads and streets in Jordan and Kuwait. It detects traffic lights by comparing the candidate traffic light with some in-house collected traffic light templates, comparison is based on correlation. The templates represent 22 different shapes of traffic lights in Jordan and Kuwait. Finally, the algorithm extracts the green and the red planes and recognizes their colors. Experimental results reveal the accuracy of proposed algorithm in identifying the colors of traffic lights in different cases and circumstances. Hence, our proposed algorithm is helpful for colorblind drivers.

Computational photography systems are becoming increasingly diverse, while computational resources-for example on mobile platforms-are rapidly increasing. As diverse as these camera systems may be, slightly different variants of the underlying imageprocessing tasks, such as demosaicking, deconvolution, denoising, inpainting, image fusion, and alignment, are shared between all of these systems. Formal optimization methods have recently been demonstrated to achieve state-of-the-art quality for many of these applications. Unfortunately, different combinations of natural image priors and optimization algorithms may be optimal for different problems, and implementing and testing each combination is currently a time-consuming and error-prone process. ProxImaL is a domain-specific language and compiler for image optimization problems that makes it easy to experiment with different problem formulations and algorithm choices. The language uses proximal operators as the fundamental building blocks of a variety of linear and nonlinear image formation models and cost functions, advanced image priors, and noise models. The compiler intelligently chooses the best way to translate a problem formulation and choice of optimization algorithm into an efficient solver implementation. In applications to the imageprocessing pipeline, deconvolution in the presence of Poisson-distributed shot noise, and burst denoising, we show that a few lines of ProxImaL code can generate highly efficient solvers that achieve state-of-the-art results. We also show applications to the nonlinear and nonconvex problem of phase retrieval.

Automatic traffic sign detection and recognition (TSDR) is one of the most significant areas of object detection. In spite of numerous researches, it has always been a challenging problem. In this paper, an approach for detecting circular and triangular traffic signs is proposed. The performance of the entire system is measured on German traffic sign detection benchmark (GTSDB) and German traffic sign recognition benchmark (GTSRB) dataset. Traffic signs are detected using color segmentation and thresholding method in Hue Saturation Intensity (HSI) color space. Then, the shape of traffic signs is detected using geometric invariant Hu moments. Further, the features are extracted using a technique called HSI-HOG descriptor where features are extracted from each channel of HSI independently. To select the most discriminant features with minimal loss of information, dimensionality reduction technique Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied and classification is performed using Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique.

A holographic data storage system(HDSS) is very important field in the storage system device. Many researchers study the HDSS about imageprocessing algorithm for reduction of image noise. In this work, we proposed an intelligence virtual mask, parameter values of virtual image mask generated using DNA coding method, it is available to decrease the IPI noise in HDSS. In this paper, an intensity distribution of laser beam in our HDSS is controlled by the virtual mask with an intelligence algorithm. The virtual mask value is changed arbitrarily in real-time with suggested DNA coding method in the HDSS.

This work introduces an Artificial Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System functioning as a selector of color constancy algorithms for the enhancement of dark images. The system selects among three algorithms, the White-Patch, the Gray-World and the Gray-Edge according to real content of an image. These three algorithms have been considered due to their simplicity and accurate remotion of the illuminant, further showing an outstanding color enhancement on images. The diverse image features are involved in the selection process, so the design of selector system is not a trivial task. For this reason we developed a fuzzy rule based system to model the information through simple rules. While addressing the problem of dark image enhancement this approach can handle large amount of data and is tolerant to ambiguity.

To increase the efficiency of the laser coagulation surgery the problem of the most accurate segmentation of fundus images is especially relevant. Fundus image segmentation is carried out with high accuracy using effective features and the minimum number of parameters for segmentation of a single image fragment. This paper describes a modified technique for smart textural feature selection to extract retinal regions of interest using image preprocessingalgorithms. Preprocessingalgorithms significantly influence the selected features which provide a minimum error of object recognition. In addition image preprocessingalgorithms provide a more precise object selection. The informativeness of the obtained feature space is studied using discriminant data analysis. The best fragmentation block size segmentation and feature sets provides the necessary accuracy to identify regions of interest. Those regions are determined by the analysis of the following 4 classes of fundus images: exudates, thick, thin vessels and healthy areas. The advantages and disadvantages of the considered preprocessingalgorithms were identified.

Practical application of smart materials for moving robots enabled to solve difficult mechatronic positioning and movement problems. Movement in such systems is generated using piezoelectrical devices. Therefore, classical trajectories formation and control methods are not suitable. For these specific problems positioning and piezorobot control methods and algorithms are created. In order to practically realize these algorithms a novel software and hardware is needed. This article presents movement formation methods and movement in predefined trajectory on some plane algorithms for cylindrical piezorobot. It is shown how they can be implemented using Matlab and LabVIEW software. Trajectory movement is controlled using special software and specifically designed motion control system. Control signal is amplified by electronics hardware. It also matches industrial PXI computer to piezorobot's motion actuator which requires high voltage signal and capacitance load. The path of piezorobot is registered using imageprocessing and computer vision technologies. The paper presents experimental results of piezorobot movement when different input data set applied. Piezorobot point-to-point movement on plane without rotation is analyzed. Such movement is created when only one electrode is excited at a time. This generates forces at every segment and their cumulative force ensures precise control of piezorobot movement direction and speed.

Detection and identification of vehicles in traffic surveillance videos is very important to automate the surveillance system and also to build an intelligent transportation system. In this paper a robust method to detect and identify vehicles is proposed which deals with problem like change in illumination. Background subtraction is done using both Gaussian Mixture Model and Visual Background Extractor and supports dynamic changes in background. Vehicles are detected by finding contours in the image frame. Vehicles are tracked by assigning unique ID for each vehicles. Distance between the centroid of detected vehicle and existing vehicles is calculated. If the distance is greater than threshold value then vehicle is considered to be arrived newly and a unique ID is assigned for further tracking. Otherwise, it is the vehicle will get the same ID as in previous frame. Detected vehicle is classified using Support Vector Machine in each frame and final decision is taken when the vehicle is about to exit from the scene.

Signal reconstruction from magnitude-only measurements presents a long-standing problem in signal processing. In this contribution, we propose a phase (re)construction method for filter banks with uniform decimation and controlled frequency variation. The suggested procedure extends the recently introduced phase-gradient heap integration and relies on a phase-magnitude relationship for filter bank coefficients obtained from Gaussian filters. Admissible filter banks are modeled as the discretization of certain generalized translation-invariant systems, for which we derive the phase-magnitude relationship explicitly. The implementation for discrete signals is described and the performance of the algorithm is evaluated on a range of real and synthetic signals.
