In this paper, an new setup for the non-destructive scanning for cultural heritage applications is proposed. First, a multi-degree of freedom mechanical implementation is designed, for multiple angle and distance scanning of artworks via different modalities. Moreover, a specialized acquisition and control software is developed consequently created for the unified platform. Additionally, various, onboard, post-processingimage registration algorithms are realized for the combination of images originating on various sensors. The final setup is tested on a mock-up icon, verifying the merits of the developed prototype for cultural heritage science work and research.

Contemporary production lines often make extensive use of image recognition to achieve high levels of automation. Shorter product life cycles and smaller lot sizes force companies to adapt their processes very quickly. Still, industrial imageprocessingalgorithms typically run on dedicated computer systems next to the cameras, which is rather inflexible and leads to high costs for hardware and maintenance. In this paper, we propose a service -based architecture to tackle these problems. We divide imageprocessing applications into universal building blocks, each of which is implemented as web service. The recognition application is conceived as a composition of these services, orchestrated using the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). The composed application is provided with a standard industrial interface (OPC UA) for easy integration into the production process. This concept is evaluated by assessing proof-of-concept implementations. Main advantages (among others) are the flexible reuse of existing imageprocessing operations and applications, and the freedom to implement services independently using the preferred language, framework and platform. Challenges are real-time constraints, which can be alleviated by emerging technologies like Time Sensitive Networking (TSN). (C) 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Computation of document image quality metrics often depends upon the availability of a ground truth image corresponding to the document. This limits the applicability of quality metrics in applications such as hyperparameter optimization of imageprocessingalgorithms that operate on-the-fly on unseen documents. This work proposes the use of surrogate models to learn the behavior of a given document quality metric on existing datasets where ground truth images are available. The trained surrogate model can later be used to predict the metric value on previously unseen document images without requiring access to ground truth images. The surrogate model is empirically evaluated on the Document image Binarization Competition (DIBCO) and the Handwritten Document image Binarization Competition (H-DIBCO) datasets.

Detecting the presence of hazardous materials in luggage is an important problem in aviation security. The current generation of inspection systems is based on X-ray computed tomography, followed by recognition systems to identify potential prohibited materials. As such, the image formation algorithms are designed independently of the recognition algorithms. In this paper, we present a new class of algorithms for processing the X-ray data by simultaneously forming images from the collected X-ray observations and identifying the underlying materials in the images. These algorithms exploit information about the possible materials in the image to modify the image reconstruction techniques, as well as material identification. We evaluate our joint algorithm on simulated phantoms using multi-spectral computed tomography, and compare our reconstruction and classification results with alternative state of the art approaches. Our experiments indicate that there are significant improvements in recognition performance possible through our joint approach.

The visual appeal of images gets deteriorated when captured under unfavorable weather conditions thus rendering them unsuitable for optimum performance on vision-based systems. Performance of Driver Assistance systems (DAS) depends on the quality of the images fed to the computer vision algorithms. This paper attempts to leverage generative modelling capabilities of Generative Adversarial Networks by utilizing special architectures for generator and discriminator. The loss function utilized is the efficient pixel mean square loss. Discriminator used here is a standard binary cross-entropy classifier intended to classify whether the predicted de-rained image of the generator matches the real high-resolution image or not. The generator network is a Fully Convolutional U-Net architecture. Experiments indicate that the proposed architecture produces de-rained images indistinguishable from their clean images using only 30 epochs and performs better than various novel approaches.

In this paper, we propose a novel video reconstruction methodology which is built based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) algorithm. In this regard, a new enhanced ADMM model has been used which permits the user to apply image or video reconstruction techniques as sub-problems being embedded to a denoising methodology. Correspondingly, we use conventional compressive sensing (CS) based Gaussian mixture models (GMM) as a subproblem of our proposed framework. On the other hand, sparse 3D transform-domain block matching (BM3D) is used as the denoiser of algorithm in order to remove the remaining artifacts and noise in the reconstructed video frames. Consequently, by considering both online and offline CS-based GMM frameworks, we are able to make two forms of GMM based video reconstruction algorithms which are represented as online and offline structures. Using the proposed algorithms, video reconstruction is more satisfactory in terms of visual quality in comparison with other state of the art techniques.

In computational vision has a high computational cost, although, some algorithms had been implemented to get image features, that allow assorting, object and face recognition and so on. Some solutions have been developed in computers, DSP and GPU those that are not optimal with time. In order to improve the performance of these algorithms, we are implementing the SURF algorithm in embedded systems (FPGA) and applied to non-controller environments that require real-time response. In this work we development a SURF algorithm in order to improve time processing in video and imageprocessing, we use an FPGA to apply that algorithm, we compare the time processing with different devices and the features found it into the images, this features will be invariant to scale, rotation and lighting, the SURF algorithm localize the interest points (features), its is using in facial recognition, object detection, stereo vision and so on. This algorithm has a high computational cost because of use a lot of data, in order to reduce the high cost we implemented LUTs and reduce time with code. With this work we try to find the best way to implement the algorithm into embedded systems, in order to use in non-controller environments and robots autonomous.

This paper proposes a fault-tolerant control technique, for industrial applications, based on imageprocessing. It is known that, sensor faults disturb the normal sequences of manufacturing operations. This causes a serious delay in the manufacturing process, or even it terminated for maintenance. Cameras with ad-hoc video and imageprocessingalgorithms can be used to detect and track objects, thus they can play the role of sensors in industrial application. The proposed technique uses visual information, collected by cameras, to raise the fault-tolerant of the manufacturing system. The visual information is used to generate a redundant sensing signal to substitute the faulty-sensor signal in case of faults. The main advantages of the proposed technique are: the continuity throughout the manufacturing process as well as the detection and isolation of faulty-sensors. The proposed technique was applied to a real production line model to illustrate its performance.

Multi-focus microscope (MFM) provides a way to obtain 3D information by simultaneously capturing multiple focal planes. The naive method for MFM reconstruction is to stack the sub-images with alignment. However, the resolution in the z-axis in this method is limited by the number of acquired focal planes. In this work we build on a recent reconstruction algorithm for MFM, using information from multiple frames to improve the reconstruction quality. We propose two multiple-frame MFM image reconstruction algorithms: batch and recursive approaches. In the batch approach, we take multiple MFM frames and jointly estimate the 3D image and the motion for each frame. In the recursive approach, we utilize the reconstructed image from the previous frame. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithms produce a sequence of 3D object reconstruction with high quality that enable reconstruction of dynamic extended objects.

Neurological signal processing is of significance not only the physiologist doing research and the clinician investigating patients but also to the biomedical engineer who is needed to collect, process, and interpret the physiological signals by prototyping systems and algorithms for their manipulations. While it is a fact that there does hold immense stuff (material) on the subject of digital neurological signal processing, however, it is dispersed in various scientific, technological, and physiological journals, databases also in various international conference proceedings. Consequently, it is a quite hard, more time-consuming, and often tiresome job, especially to the stranger to the domain Hence, this study concentrates on how much time would require to access the databases belong to the brain signal/image collections, neurological signals, etc. The sixteen US-based Servers, ten UK-based Servers, and the five Servers from other countries are included in this study. Mainly, the domain name system, hyper text transfer protocol, and the Internet control message protocol query/response times are analyzed using a popular packet sniffer called Wireshark.
