We consider the problem of allocating bits among pictures in an MPEG video coder to equalize the visual quality of the coded pictures, while meeting buffer and channel constraints imposed by the MPEG Video Buffering Verifier. We address this problem within a framework that consists of three components: 1) a bit production model for the input pictures, 2) a set of bit-rate constraints imposed by the Video Buffering Verifier, and 3) a novel lexicographic criterion for optimality. Under this framework, we derive simple necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality that lead to efficient algorithms.

Such lenses offer intriguing applications for the transportation/automotive industry, in the protection of civilian and military areas, business. In this paper we describe: a new optical design technique that provides a greater P degree of freedom in producing a variety of hemispheric spatial light distribution areas. This innovative optical design strategy, of generating and controlling image mapping, has been successful in producing high-resolution imaging and projection systems. This Success has Subsequently generated increased interest in the high-resolution camera/projector and the concept of absolute measurement with high-resolution wide-angle lenses. The new technique described in this paper uses optimization techniques to improve the performance of a Customized wide-angle lens optical system for a specific application. By adding a custom angle-to-plixel ratio at the optical design stage, this customized optical system provides ideal image coverage while reducing and optimizing signal processing. This novel image formation technique requires the development of new algorithms in order to view The panoramic linage on a display without any residual distortion.

The area of video analytics in the context of collaborative networking has gained a lot of attention from the research community owing to its potential applicability in the real life aspects. However, although image and video content which mostly get exchanged in the networking pipelines consist of several significant textual information from the application view-point which often display various confidential textual credentials of a corresponding individual. The realization of this fact that this textual attributes has to be removed for various image forensic requirements, has led to image impainting. The study has addressed this problem and come up with a novel analytical solution which imposes two different methods and further combines this two. In the 1st stage it applies a robust mechanism to detect the region of an image and video frame sequence where textual data representation can be localized and perform extraction of those data it introduces artifact and visual anomalies. On the completion of this stage in the 2nd phase, to eliminate the artifacts from the respective locations, it introduces a novel impainting technique which is computationally efficient and attain higher degree of textual data eliminated recovered image or video sequence which is almost similar like the original image or video sequence, can be visually perceived. The comparative performance analysis show that the proposed technique attain better outcome in terms of textual attributes detection accuracy (%) from specific region of interest (ROI) and also consume very less processing time (Sec) in contrast with the existing system.

Efficient detection and reliable matching of image features constitute a fundamental task in computer vision. When real-time operation is required, the solution to this problem becomes a real challenge, because of increased processing requirements. Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) is considered as a stable and robust algorithm for the extraction of invariant features, however special hardware is required for high frame-rate applications, in order to overcome its computational complexity in real-time. In this paper, a complete processor for SIFT feature matching in video sequences is presented. It performs SIFT feature extraction and matching, as well as rejection of false correspondences using the random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm. The processor was evaluated using metrics like response, repeatability and recall. It was found that the proposed fixed-point hardware implementation has a comparable performance with software implementations of SIFT. The processor architecture can process more than 36 fps with resolution 640x480, when it is implemented in Cyclone iv FPGA technology.

Many automated image-based applications have need of finding small spots in a variably noisy image. For humans, it is relatively easy to distinguish objects from local surroundings no matter what else may be in the image. We attempt to capture this distinguishing capability computationally by calculating a measurement that estimates the strength of signal within an object versus the noise in its local neighborhood. First, we hypothesize various sizes for the object and corresponding background areas. Then, we compute the Local Area Signal to Noise Ratio (LASNR) at every pixel in the image, resulting in a new image with LASNR values for each pixel. All pixels exceeding a pre-selected LASNR value become seed pixels, or initiation points, and are grown to include the full area extent of the object. Since growing the seed. is a separate operation from finding the seed, each object can be any size and shape. Thus, the overall process is a 2-stage segmentation method that first finds object seeds and then grows them to find the full extent of the object. This algorithm was designed, optimized and is in daily use for the accurate and rapid inspection of optics from a large laser system (National Ignition Facility (NIF), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Livermore, CA), which includes images with background noise, ghost reflections, different illumination and other sources of variation.

A number of techniques for halftoning gray scale images have been proposed. Unfortunately a reliable methodology of comparing results still has to be developed. Our work is focused on analysis of edge information in halftoned images. In particular we are interested in the preservation of the original image edges and the appearance of edge artifacts created by the halftoning process. Our approach is a multiscale analysis based on a wavelet transform. The wavelet smoothing function is approximately a derivative of a Gaussian function. image edges are found by identifying extrema points of the wavelet transform. The edge points of the same scale are connected into contours. Edge contours are linked into a pyramid structure across multiple scales. Evolution of wavelet maxima in this pyramid allows us to classify discontinuities in the image and to measure their significance. We studied performance of popular halftoning methods on images with various types of edges. Multiscale edge structures are identified in original gray scale and halftoned images. Corresponding values of the wavelet transform are compared. Our experiments show that proposed methodology can be used to measure fidelity of edge reproduction by the halftoning process. Also, various contouring artifacts can be reliably identified.

Automatic segmentation of tissues and lesions is a very important step in any Artificial Intelligence pipeline designed to analyze medical images (especially MRI). This is particularly true for brain MRI images of patients affected by neurological pathologies like Multiple Sclerosis (MS). To perform well, cutting edge Artificial Intelligence approaches like Deep Learning need a huge amount of training data. Unfortunately, available data-sets of MRI medical images often lack annotations, standardized acquisition protocols, formats and dimensions. This heterogeneity in the data-sets makes it often very difficult to use and integrate different datasets in the same pipeline. Available image pre-processing tools have specific requirements and might not be adequate for extensive usage with heterogeneous data-sets. This paper presents an on-going work on a comprehensive and consistent brain MRI images pre-processing pipeline for Deep Learning applications enabling the creation of a congruous data-set. The pipeline was tested with the public available ISBI2015 data-set.

In recent years, 3D reconstruction technology has developed rapidly. It is a promising field to apply 3D reconstruction technology to the measurement of plant configuration parameters. The main content of this paper is the 3D reconstruction technology for rape roots and the measurement methods for their key traits. Firstly, we set up a set of low-cost image sequence acquisition device of rape roots. We collected image data with common consumption level camera and used the method of SfM to carry out 3D reconstruction of rape roots. Then we proposed a series of algorithms to measure the surface area, volume, number of primary lateral roots and length of taproot based on the huge point cloud data obtained from 3D reconstruction. Finally, we designed a set of nondestructive measurement system for key traits of rape roots. The total volume of root, the number of primary lateral roots and the length of taproot were measured manually. Compared with the results of manual measurement, the accuracy of the main algorithm proposed in this paper is not less than 95% Our contribution is to provide a 3D reconstruction method that is easy to operate, and to provide a high-precision measurement method for the key traits of rape roots, which has an important value for quantitative analysis of rape roots phenotype.
