By combining optical systems and imageprocessing, wavefront coding can greatly expand the depth of focus and depth of field of optical systems. It has been widely used in iris detection, high-power microscopic objective lens, infrared optical system athermalized, and so on. At present, the image restoration algorithms commonly used in wavefront coding are based on deconvolution, Wiener filtering, and so on. Although these algorithms can achieve an excellent image restoration effect, they will also bring boundary ringing effects and artifacts to the image. When the image is disturbed by strong noise, the restoration effect will also be seriously affected. To solve these problems, a wavefront coded image restoration algorithm based on compressed sensing is proposed in this paper. The strong data reconstruction ability of the compressed sensing restoration algorithm is used to restore the encoded image obtained by the wavefront coding system. This method can effectively suppress noise and reconstruct the image without artifact and boundary ringing effect. Through the comparison of simulation results, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.

Use of remotely sensed imagery to map lines of communication or revise existing maps is currently a labor-intensive process. In this paper, we present a system for automatically extracting lines of communication from high- resolution (less than 5-meter spatial resolution) multispectral imagery. Positive systems ADAR 5500 imagery is used to demonstrate system functionality. Our system includes automatic detection and identification algorithms, a geospatial database for storage and retrieval of results, a change detection component that compares newly detected lines of communication against stored database information, and a user interface that allows operator review and editing of automatically extracted results.

In the evolution of synthetic holography as a viable medium for industrial design and scientific visualization, the inclusion of full parallax represents a logical next step from the previous horizontal parallax-only approaches. The significant increase in full-parallax information content implies the need for high speed perspective view synthesis, optimized mechano-optical recording systems, and novel hologram illumination approaches. This paper outlines recording techniques for producing full-parallax holographic stereograms of computer-synthesized and acquired data. We document on-the-fly high-speed rendering software that integrates the printing and image-synthesis steps. In the interest of hologram printer size control, approaches for optical image plane enlargement are highlighted, and successful examples of A4-size (30 cm x 21 cm) full-parallax images are presented. We assess perspective-view array and image-plane pixel resolutions and their effect on overall image quality, in particular with respect to medium-size formats. Finally, we demonstrate optimized illumination techniques for controlling image clarity, including dispersion-compensated and edge-illuminated approaches.

A new technique to segment a handwritten document into distinct lines of text is presented. Line segmentation is the first and the most critical pre-processing step for a document recognition/analysis task. The proposed algorithm starts, by obtaining an initial set of candidate lines from the piece-wise projection profile of the document. The lines traverse around any obstructing handwritten connected component by associating it to the line above or below. A decision of associating such a component is made by (i) modeling the lines as bivariate Gaussian densities and evaluating the probability of the component under each Gaussian or (ii) the probability obtained from a distance metric. The proposed method is robust to handle skewed documents and those with lines running into each other. Experimental results show that on 720 documents (which includes English,Arabic and children's handwriting) containing a total of 11, 581 lines, 97.31 % of the lines were segmented correctly. On an experiment over 200 handwritten images with 78, 902 connected components, 98.81 % of them were associated to the correct lines.

Color image quality assessment is essential in evaluating the performance of color image enhancement and retrieval algorithms. Much effort has been made in recent years to develop objective image quality metrics that correlate with perceived quality measurements. Unfortunately, only limited success has been achieved [1]. In this paper we present: a) a new contrast based grayscale image quality measure: Root Mean Enhancement (RME);b) a color RME contrast measure CRME which explores the three dimensional contrast relationships of the RGB color channels;c) a color measure Color Qiality Enhancement (CQE) which is based on the linear combination of colorfulness, sharpness and contrast. Computer simulations show that the new measures may help to evaluate color image quality and choose the optimal operating parameters in color imageprocessingsystems. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the presented measures by using the TID2008 database. We also compare the presented measures with subjective evaluation Mean Opinion Score (MOS). Experimental results show good correlations between the presented measures and MOS.

In this work we develop a system for enhancement of the speech signal with highest energy from a linear convolutive mixture of n statistically independent sound sources recorded by m microphones, where m < n. In this system we use the concept of independent component analysis (ICA) together with auditory filter banks, pitch tracking, adaptive band pass filters and masking. Computer simulations and real world experiments confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Correlation filters designed for automatic target recognition can be used for assisting trackers. We show that a tracker may use the filters for independent verification of the target as necessary. In particular, a form of the filters known as unconstrained correlation filters is shown to be optimal from a detection standpoint. An example is given to illustrate the concept of target reacquisition when the tracker's lock is broken.

The effects of systemic sclerosis (SSc) - a disease of the connective tissue causing blood flow problems that can require amputation of the fingers - can be observed indirectly by imaging the capillaries at the nailfold, though taking quantitative measures such as blood flow to diagnose the disease and monitor its progression is not easy. Optical flow algorithms may be applied, though without ground truth (i.e. known blood flow) it is hard to evaluate their accuracy. We propose an image model that generates realistic capillaroscopy videos with known flow, and use this model to quantify the effect of flow rate, cell density and contrast ( among others) on estimated flow. This resource will help researchers to design systems that are robust under real-world conditions.

Mainly when applied in the underwater environment, sonar simulation requires great computational effort due to the complexity of acoustic physics. Simulation of sonar operation allows evaluating algorithms and control systems without going to the real underwater environment;that reduces the costs and risks of in-field experiments. This paper tackles with the problem of real-time underwater imaging sonar simulation by using the OpenGL shading language chain on GPU. Our proposed system is able to simulate two main types of acoustic devices: mechanical scanning imaging sonars and forward-looking sonars. The underwater scenario simulation is performed based on three frameworks: (i) OpenSceneGraph reproduces the ocean visual effects, (ii) Gazebo deals with physical forces, and (iii) the Robot Construction Kit controls the sonar in underwater environments. Our system exploits the rasterization pipeline in order to simulate the sonar devices, which are simulated by means of three parameters: the pulse distance, the echo intensity and the sonar field-of-view, being all calculated over observable objects shapes in the 3D rendered scene. Sonar-intrinsic operational parameters, speckle noise and object material properties are also considered as part of the acoustic image. Our evaluation demonstrated that the proposed system is able to operate close to or faster than the real-world devices. Also, our method generates visually realistic sonar images when compared with real-world sonar images of the same scenes. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
