How to suppress and remove the speckle of SAR image has been a hot research issue. Combining the advantages of non-subsample Shearlet transform (NSST) with the generalized non-local means de-noising algorithm, we proposed a new SAR image de-noising algorithm in this paper. This algorithm is appropriate for the characteristics of the speckle noise, so it can improve the quality of de-noised image. Meanwhile, the algorithm holds the characteristics of translational invariance, which can suppress Gibbs phenomenon effectively.

The effects of the aft rotor on the inter-rotor flow field of an open rotor propulsion rig were examined. A Particle image Velocimetry (PIV) dataset that was acquired phase locked to the front rotor position has been phase averaged based on the relative phase angle between the forward and aft rotors. The aft rotor phase was determined by feature tracking in raw PIV images through an imageprocessing algorithm. The effects of the aft rotor potential field on the inter-rotor flow were analyzed and shown to be in reasonably good agreement with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The aft rotor position was shown to have a significant upstream effect, with implications for front rotor interaction noise. It was found that the aft rotor had no substantial effect on the position of the forward rotor tip vortex but did have a small effect on the circulation strength of the vortex when the rotors were highly loaded.

Indian languages have very less linguistic resources, though they have a large speaker base. They are very rich in morphology, making it very difficult to do sequential tagging or any type of language analysis. In natural language processing, parts-of-speech (POS) tagging is the basic tool with which it is possible to extract terminology using linguistic patterns. The main aim of this research is to do sequential tagging for Indian languages based on the unsupervised features and distributional information of a word with its neighboring words. The results of the machine learning algorithms depend on the data representation. Not all the data contribute to creation of the model, leading a few in vain and it depends on the descriptive factors of data disparity. Data representations are designed by using domain-specific knowledge but the aim of Artificial Intelligence is to reduce these domain-dependent representations, so that it can be applied to the domains which are new to one. Recently, deep learning algorithms have acquired a substantial interest in reducing the dimension of features or extracting the latent features. Recent development and applications of deep learning algorithms are giving impressive results in several areas mostly in image and text applications.

AprilTags and other passive fiducial markers require specialized algorithms to detect markers among other features in a natural scene. The vision processing steps generally dominate the computation time of a tag detection pipeline, so even small improvements in marker detection can translate to a faster tag detection system. We incorporated lessons learned from implementing and supporting the AprilTag system into this improved system. This work describes AprilTag 2, a completely redesigned tag detector that improves robustness and efficiency compared to the original AprilTag system. The tag coding scheme is unchanged, retaining the same robustness to false positives inherent to the coding system. The new detector improves performance with higher detection rates, fewer false positives, and lower computational time. Improved performance on small images allows the use of decimated input images, resulting in dramatic gains in detection speed.

I consider a number of methods of automatic quadratic features adjustment for digital textural images of biological tissues in order to improve the quality of classification. The proposed approaches are based on optimization procedures that use various quality criteria of a feature space as target functions. I investigate the methods based on random search, genetic algorithm, simulation of annealing, as well as the original hybrid algorithm. I presented results of experimental studies of the proposed algorithms on sets of real X-ray images of bone tissue and the lung CT images. We show that the hybrid algorithm provides more stable results regardless of the chosen quality criterion of the feature space, which is expressed in decreasing of the average percentage of incorrectly recognized images in comparison with the use of the specific optimization methods individually.

An improved method for visibility enhancement of foggy based degraded images is presented. Proposed technique consists of two phases: firstly applied the visibility enhancement algorithm and then automatic color enhancement algorithm. Quantitative metric and qualitative result of proposed technique is evaluated and compared with other existing visibility restoration algorithms. In this paper quantitative results are presented in terms of measure of enhancement and measure of enhancement factor. Simulation results on foggy images from database demonstrates that proposed technique provides better visibility enhancement results as compared to the others existing visibility enhancement algorithms. A result reveals that proposed technique is an efficient method for visibility enhancement of foggy based degraded images.

As a consequence of fluctuations in the index of refraction of the air, atmospheric turbulence causes scintillation, spatial and temporal blurring as well as global and local image motion creating geometric distortions. To mitigate these effects many different methods have been proposed. Global as well as local motion compensation in some form or other constitutes an integral part of many software-based approaches. For the estimation of motion vectors between consecutive frames simple methods like block matching are preferable to more complex algorithms like optical flow, at least when challenged with near real-time requirements. However, the processing power of commercially available computers continues to increase rapidly and the more powerful optical flow methods have the potential to outperform standard block matching methods. Therefore, in this paper three standard optical flow algorithms, namely Horn-Schunck (HS), Lucas-Kanade (LK) and Farneback (FB), are tested for their suitability to be employed for local motion compensation as part of a turbulence mitigation system. Their qualitative performance is evaluated and compared with that of three standard block matching methods, namely Exhaustive Search (ES), Adaptive Rood Pattern Search (ARPS) and Correlation based Search (CS).

Most current high contrast imaging point spread function (PSF) subtraction algorithms use some form of a least-squares noise minimization to find exoplanets that are, before post-processing, often hidden below the instrumental speckle noise. In the current standard PSF subtraction algorithms, a set of reference images is derived from the target image sequence to subtract each target image, using Angular and/or Simultaneous Spectral Differential Imaging (ADI, SSDI, respectively). However, to avoid excessive exoplanet self-subtraction, ADI and SSDI (in the absence of a strong spectral feature) severely limit the available number of reference images at small separations. This limits the performance of the least-squares algorithm, resulting in lower sensitivity to exoplanets at small angular separations. Possible solutions are to use additional reference images by acquiring longer sequences, use SSDI if the exoplanet is expected to show strong spectral features, or use images acquired on other targets. The latter option, known as Reference Star Differential Imaging (RSDI), which relies on the use of reference images that are highly correlated to the target image, has been ineffective in previous ground-based high contrast imaging surveys. The now >200 target reference library from the Gemini Planet imager Exoplanet Survey (GPIES) allows for a detailed RSDI analysis to possibly improve contrast performance near the focal plane mask, at similar to 2-7 lambda/D separations. We present the results of work to optimize PSF subtraction with the GPIES reference library using a least-squares algorithm designed to minimize speckle noise and maximize planet throughput, thus maximizing the planet signal to noise ratio (SNR). Using December 2014 51 Eri GPI data in the inner 100 mas to 300 mas annulus, we find no apparent improvement in SNR when using RSDI and/or our optimization scheme. This result, while still being investigated, seems to show that current algorithms on ADI+SSDI da

In this paper, design and development of a selfsufficient sentry robotic gun is presented. Professional robotic assemblies which are generally developed for security purposes are targeted toward high efficiency and are based on extensive control algorithms. This makes them quite expensive and infeasible for low budget applications. One important component of such systems is that of motion detection. Motion detection also plays a key role in security applications installed at banks, offices and vulnerable areas. An efficient motion detection system has been developed using embedded micro-controller and MATLAB interface. The proposed system can also be set into an autonomous mode of operation, in which the system tracks and engages targets without any human intervention. Aside from autonomous mode, there is also a manual over-ride mode. The hardware employed in the proposed system is based on easily accessible materials. Motion detection and imageprocessing was implemented using MATLAB imageprocessing toolbox and periodic background estimation subtraction was used for the detection of motion.
Most of the survey techniques used in archaeology and architecture are currently focused on range-data (laser scanning) and image-based systems (digital photogrammetry/photoscanning). The paper aims to highlight a dif...
