Optical tomography in biomedical imaging is a highly dynamic field in which non-invasive optical and computational techniques are combined to obtain a three dimensional representation of the specimen we are interested to image. Although at optical wavelengths scattering is the main obstacle to reach diffraction limited resolution, recently several studies have shown the possibility to image even objects fully hidden behind a turbid layer exploiting the information contained in the speckle autocorrelation via an iterative phase retrieval algorithm. In this work we explore the possibility of blind three dimensional reconstruction approach based on the Optical Projection Tomography principles, a widely used tool to image almost transparent model organism such as C. Elegans and D. Rerio. By using autocorrelation information rather than projections at each angle we prove, both numerically and experimentally, the possibility to perform exact three dimensional reconstructions via a specifically designed phase retrieval algorithm, extending the capability of the projection-based tomographic methods to image behind scattering curtains. The reconstruction scheme we propose is simple to implement, does not require post-processing data alignment and moreover can be trivially implemented in parallel to fully exploit the computing power offered by modern GPUs, further reducing the need for costly computational resources.

Lane detection and tracking is essential concern in vision based autonomous vehicle navigation. This paper proposes a novel method based on probabilistic Hough transform and motion vector based analysis for detecting and tracking lane and lane departures. It addresses drawbacks of current systems under hazy situations with learning method based on previous tracking records of the system. In this method relevant lane mark features are extracted based on color variations. Therefore used HSL color model which gives higher color contrast of road surface and the markings. In order to reduce computation, processingalgorithms are applied only to the region of interest (ROI). Edges of the selected regions are extracted with Canny Edge Detection. Since lane markings are made with set of straight lines, straight lines are extracted with Probabilistic Hough Transform. Extracted lines are analyzed to detect lane. To monitor lane departures vehicle's motion is detected and tracked based on motion vector analysis with Lucas Kanade Optical Flow algorithm. Previous detection records are used to track the lane continuously in hazy situations and provide prediction on approximate lane for the roads without lane markings. Experiments were performed on set of videos taken from vehicles' front camera mounted on dashboard. According to the experiments the proposed algorithm has 81.9% of sensitivity in lane detection and 63.5% in approximate lane predictions for the roads without lane markings. Lane detection algorithm has 83% precision, 68% recall and 0.75 F1 score with threshold brightness value 140. Algorithm can further improved to guide the autonomous vehicles to take accurate decisions on selecting safety lane to drive ahead in different situations.

Underwater vision is subject to effects of underwater light propagation that act to absorb, scatter, and attenuate light rays between the scene and the imaging platform. Backscattering has been shown to have a strong impact on underwater images. As light interacts with particulate matter in the water column, it is scattered back towards the imaging sensor, resulting in a hazy effect across the image. A similar effect occurs in terrestrial applications in images of foggy scenes due to interaction with the atmosphere. Prior work on multi-image dehazing has relied on multiple cameras, polarization filters, or moving light sources. Single image dehazing is an ill-posed problem;proposed solutions rely on strong priors of the scene. This paper presents a novel method for underwater image dehazing using a light field camera to capture both the spatial and angular distribution of light across a scene. First, a 2D dehazing method is applied to each sub-aperture image. These dehazed images are then combined to produce a smoothed central view. Lastly, the smoothed central view is used as a reference to perform guided image filtering, resulting in a 4D dehazed underwater light field image. The developed method is validated on real light field data collected in a controlled in-lab water tank, with images taken in air for reference. This dataset is made publicly available.

The recent success of deep learning has lead to growing interest in applying these methods to signal processing problems. This paper explores the applications of deep learning to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image formation. We review deep learning from a perspective relevant to SAR image formation. Our objective is to address SAR image formation in the presence of uncertainties in the SAR forward model. We present a recurrent auto-encoder network architecture based on the iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm (ISTA) that incorporates SAR modeling. We then present an off-line training method using stochastic gradient descent and discuss the challenges and key steps of learning. Lastly, we show experimentally that our method can be used to form focused images in the presence of phase uncertainties. We demonstrate that the resulting algorithm has faster convergence and decreased reconstruction error than that of ISTA.

Real time non-rigid reconstruction pipelines are extremely computationally expensive and easily saturate the highest end GPUs currently available. This requires careful strategic choices to be made about a set of highly interconnected parameters that divide up the limited compute. At the same time, offline systems, prove the value of increasing voxel resolution, more iterations, and higher frame rates. To this end, we demonstrate a set of remarkably simple but effective modifications to these algorithms that significantly reduce the average per-frame computation cost allowing these parameters to be increased. Specifically, we divide the depth stream into sub-frames and fusion-frames, disabling both model accumulation (fusion) and non-rigid alignment (model tracking) on the former. Instead, we efficiently track point correspondences across neighboring sub-frames. We then leverage these correspondences to initialize the standard non-rigid alignment to a fusion-frame where data can then be accumulated into the model. As a result, compute resources in the modified non-rigid reconstruction pipeline can be immediately re-purposed to increase voxel resolution, use more iterations or to increase the frame rate. To demonstrate the latter, we leverage recent high frame rate depth algorithms to build a novel “twin” sensor consisting of a low-res/highfps sub-frame camera and a second low-fps/high-res fusion camera.

The intrinsic parameters of the camera are mainly composed of the focal length, coordinate of the main point and the tilting factor. The focal length is an important parameter for the camera to obtain the three-dimensional information from the two-dimensional image, which determines the shooting angle of the lens. It can be obtained by the camera calibration, such as the Zhang's calibration method, but the process is tedious and takes a long time. In this paper, a fast method to extract focal length of camera is proposed. To improve and simplify the camera self-calibration algorithm, parallel particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is applied to solve the improved Kruppa equation, making the pole computation converted to the fitness function of cost function. In addition, in the process of PSO calculation, parallel computing experiments are carried out on the multi-core computer platform, and the advantages of parallel computing are fully used. The experimental results show that the precision of the method's focal length is close to Zhang's calibration method, and the time of the algorithm is greatly reduced compared with other calibration algorithms.

The vision characteristics-based on image detection techniques are functional method, which are appropriate for many industrial and agricultural applications. The color detection method is such a technique for non-destructive grading of the grape after the harvest process, which have been widely used in a variety of fruits' quality inspection and grading aspects based on vision computing method. However, the shapes of the entire bunch of grapes are obviously different with each other, which will influence the accuracy of non-destructive detection. This work develops a method for image detection and color grading of red and black grape samples, which uses vision computing technology to extract the effective color features of red and black grape samples, the experimental results show that the effective region extraction and color detection algorithms are feasible for color detection of grape.

Advances in wireless communication, digital systems and micro-electronic-mechanical system technologies led to the development of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which are used in various critical real-world applications. The fact that WSNs are low cost and eliminate the need for infrastructure led to their replacing traditional networks in area/event monitoring and tracking applications. WSNs consist of small and resource-limited sensor nodes, due to which several problems arise in the WSN development process. One of these problems is coverage. Providing the best coverage with a minimum number of sensor nodes is an NP-hard problem known as the maximum coverage sensor deployment problem (MCSDP). Genetic algorithms (GAs) have been proved effective in solving optimization problems in many different disciplines (increasing coverage in WSNs, imageprocessing, route planning, etc.). In this study, a GPU-based parallel GA solution for increasing the coverage of a given homogeneous WSN topology in a 2-D Euclidean area is proposed which is the first time this technique is used and parallelized on GPUs to the best of our knowledge. Finally, performance results of the proposed algorithm are compared to the previous work with the emphasis on the achieved performance improvement.
