There are various destructive as well as non-destructive techniques available to detect corrosion in metallic surfaces. Digital imageprocessing is widely being used for the corrosion detection in metallic surface. This non-destructive approach provides cost effective, fast and reasonably accurate results. Several algorithms have been developed by different researchers and research groups for detecting corrosion using digital imageprocessing techniques. Several algorithms related to color, texture, noise, clustering, segmentation, image enhancement, wavelet transformation etc. have been used in different combinations for corrosion detection and analysis. This paper reviews the different imageprocessing techniques and the algorithms developed and used by researchers in various industrial applications.

visibility of scene is often degraded by different atmospheric phenomena which results in failure of many computer vision applications like outdoor object recognition systems, barrier detection systems, visual surveillance systems, intelligent transportation systems etc. Light coming out from the source and scattered by atmospheric particles towards the camera is the atmospheric light. In many existing image restoration algorithms the results depend on this light. So this paper introduces a image restoration method applied for fog removal which search atmospheric light in a superior way by dividing an image into blocks. Fog decreases slowly from infinite sky regions to the nearer camera regions horizontally downward direction. Consequently atmospheric light is estimated locally in each blocks from upper to lower. The global atmospheric light is the weighted average of all the local atmospheric light. The weight is calculated from histogram of each block. There are many algorithms which suffer from halo effects and edge hammering at the output. In this paper it is rectified by nonlinear filtering which is a pre-processing step. A new edge preserving transmission is also produced using this nonlinear filtering to reduce halo effects. Experimental results are verified and compared qualitatively and quantitatively with the existing haze removal methods. Comparison results shows a better performance in terms of saturated pixels and visual evaluation of different real time scenes.

Human settlement is spreading to forest boundary areas because of the population growth, it triggers disputes between elephants and humans, leading to the loss of property and life. Continuous monitoring and tracking of elephants are difficult due to their large size and movement. Therefore, large-scale for real-time detection and alert of elephant intrusion into human settlements, monitoring is needed. Many methods had been implemented for the elephant's intrusion detection and warning systems. Wildlife conservation and the management of human-elephant conflict require a cost-effective method of monitoring elephant behavior. In this paper, a method for the identification of the elephant as an object using imageprocessing is proposed. The major aim of the study is to minimize the human-elephant conflict in the forest border areas and the conservation of elephants from human activities as well as protect human lives from elephant attacks. We used a data set containing elephants and we developed an approach to distinguish elephants and other animals. We used the Convolutional Neural Network and achieved a maximum accuracy of 94 percent. The proposed method outperformed existing approaches and robustly and accurately detected elephants. It thus can form the basis for a future automated early warning system for elephants.

In this paper, we introduce IDOL, an optimization-based framework for IMU-DVS Odometry using Lines. Event cameras, also called Dynamic vision Sensors (DVSs), generate highly asynchronous streams of events triggered upon illumination changes for each individual pixel. This novel paradigm presents advantages in low illumination conditions and high-speed motions. Nonetheless, this unconventional sensing modality brings new challenges to perform scene reconstruction or motion estimation. The proposed method offers to leverage a continuous-time representation of the inertial readings to associate each event with timely accurate inertial data. The method's front-end extracts event clusters that belong to line segments in the environment whereas the back-end estimates the system's trajectory alongside the lines' 3D position by minimizing point-to-line distances between individual events and the lines' projection in the image space. A novel attraction/repulsion mechanism is presented to accurately estimate the lines' extremities, avoiding their explicit detection in the event data. The proposed method is benchmarked against a state-of-the-art frame-based visual-inertial odometry framework using public datasets. The results show that IDOL performs at the same order of magnitude on most datasets and even shows better orientation estimates. These findings can have a great impact on new algorithms for DVS.

The structure of the brain can be seen by the Magnetic Resonance (MR) image output. MR scanned image of the brain is utilized for the entire study in this paper. The MR image filter is more agreeable than some other outputs for analysis. It will not influence the human body since it does not hone any radiation. In digitization of MR scanned image, segmentation of brain tumor is one kind of challenging problems and it is critical to clinical diagnosis. So segmentation needs to be accurate, robust, and efficient to avoid impacts caused by various large and complex biases added to images. Clustering algorithms have been widely used for the segmentation. In this paper, the K-means (KM) clustering and Fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering algorithms are used to locate the tumor and extract it. Comparative analysis in terms of Segmented area, Relative area, Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) is performed between K-means clustering and FCM clustering algorithms. The obtained performance measures from the experiments indicate the superiority of the chosen FCM algorithm over the K-means algorithm. That is 0.93% of relative segmented tumor area for FCM shows that the area which was effected by the tumor in the original MR image is segmented as a tumor. The FCM Algorithm has less processing time of 8.639 seconds compared to 22.831 seconds for KM algorithm.

Quality criteria are the essence of a measurement system. The goal of assessing the quality of software elements (algorithms) used for imageprocessing is to ensure control of technical performance indicators of the system as a whole or its individual functional units under the reduction of costs associated with minimizing the loss function (tuning and debugging). The correct choice of individual metrics for the generalized quality indicator to solve tasks in a particular subject area is one of the key steps in system optimization. It ensures the most flexible approach to testing the developed software elements, identifying and eliminating their functional shortcomings. At the same time, we can say that in this way the generalized indicator of the entire system (its goal function) is optimized.

High quality error concealment plays a crucial role in image and video processing. In general, those algorithms introduce a high computational load as they calculate complex models to estimate the missing samples. In the following, a highspeed algorithm is introduced, which succeeds the state-of-the-art Frequency Selective Extrapolation. Therefore, two novel spectral constraints are introduced in this paper. Firstly, processing the DC part of the distorted spectrum separately allows to decrease computational complexity and to increase the reconstruction quality. Secondly, by exploiting spectral properties, only a subset of basis functions has to be processed. Moreover, complex-conjugated pairs of basis functions are selected to generate a symmetric Fourier spectrum and an according real-valued output signal. Taking these constraints into account, a PSNR gain of up to 0.36 dB is achieved compared to the state-of-the-art algorithm, while the execution speed is approximately doubled.

One of the most common uses of FPGAs is as implementation platforms for graphics processing applications. Their structure can exploit spatial and temporal parallelism, but such parallelisation depends on the processing model and hardware constraints of the system. Those restrictions can force the designer to reformulate the algorithm. In this paper we present an FPGA design as a portable USB accelerator device which implements the Grayscale and Sobel Edge Detection algorithms, two of the most fundamental algorithms in digital imageprocessing.
