Biomedical image analysis is one of the most challenging and inevitable part of the computer aided diagnostic systems. Automated analysis of the image can detect various diseases automatically without human intervention. Computer vision and artificial intelligence can sometimes defeat human diagnostic power and can reveal some hidden information from the biomedical images. In the field of health care, accurate results are highly required within stipulated amount of time. But to increase accuracy, proper preprocessing with sophisticated algorithms is required. Low quality image can affect processing algorithm which can leads to the poor result. Therefore, sophisticated preprocessing methods are required to get reliable results. Contrast is one of the most important parameter for any image. Poor contrast may cause several problems for computer vision algorithms. Conventional algorithms for contrast adjustment may not be suitable for many purposes. Sometimes, these methods can generate some images that may lose some critical information. In this work, a contrast optimization method based on well-known metaheuristic technique called genetic algorithm with elitism is used that can enhance the biomedical images for better analysis. A new kernel has been proposed to detect the edges. Obtained results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm.

The article considers a complex approach to imageprocessing based on the application of mathematical models. At the same time, special attention is paid to the processing of images' sequences. Moreover, the proposed algorithms are developed for processing satellite multispectral images. The presented filtering algorithm is of great applied importance as well as an algorithm for detecting objects and delineating boundaries. In this paper, description of complex images is achieved by using doubly stochastic models of random fields and the quasi-isotropic properties of generated images is obtained by using autoregressive models with multiple roots of the characteristic equations.

Pansharpening is a process of fusing the multispectral (MS) images with the panchromatic (PAN) image to improve the spatial resolution of the MS images. The key of pansharpening is how to extract the lost detail from the PAN image and add it to the MS images with an appropriate injection model. In this paper, a pansharpening approach based on cycle-spinning quincunx lifting transform (CQLT) is proposed. The CQLT features translation invariance and vanishing moments which can extract the detail properly. In order to reduce the spectral distortion of the fused image, the histogram matching along with two popular injection models are involved in the fusion. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better quantitative results as well as competitive visual results compared with some other state-of-the-art algorithms.

In today's world, where digital imageprocessing is becoming an essential part of technology, segmentation of images poses a challenging problem. Before any complex task that has to be done on images, segmentation is a prerequisite. Segmentation ensures the simplification of a problem by changing the representation of an image from a complex one to a more analytical and easier form. Pixels of segmented regions share common characteristics. Perfect segmentation is difficult to obtain. There exist many techniques which have been applied such as edge-based segmentation, region-based segmentation, morphological operations, thresholding and clustering methods. Segmentation has a crucial role in image analysis. The accuracy of segmentation determines the success or failure of computer algorithms. Therefore, there is a need to develop efficient and less time-consuming algorithms for segmentation. This paper summarizes a number of segmentation methods.

An improved Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm with filling a circle method based on the center of mass(FCCM) is proposed to solve the problems of missing regional feature information and unsatisfactory effect in navel orange recognition by traditional imageprocessing method. We first choose the appropriate color model. By analyzing the data, YCbCr model has better contrast compared with other color models, and the histogram of its Cr component has obvious peaks and troughs, which is conducive to image segmentation. We then segmented the extracted Cr component images by Otsu threshold segmentation algorithm. And further processing is carried out in combination with morphology and hole filling algorithm to make the image coherent, so as to ensure that the feature information of navel orange is not easy to be missing. And next, the center of mass of the image is determined and the radius of the detection circle is calculated by stepping method. Finally, the noise points outside the radius of the detection circle are eliminated and the recognition results are displayed in the original image. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in the recognition of low pixel images with both different light conditions and obscured condition.

Recent models for learned image compression are based on autoencoders that learn approximately invertible mappings from pixels to a quantized latent representation. The transforms are combined with an entropy model, which is a prior on the latent representation that can be used with standard arithmetic coding algorithms to generate a compressed bitstream. Recently, hierarchical entropy models were introduced as a way to exploit more structure in the latents than previous fully factorized priors, improving compression performance while maintaining end-to-end optimization. Inspired by the success of autoregressive priors in probabilistic generative models, we examine autoregressive, hierarchical, and combined priors as alternatives, weighing their costs and benefits in the context of image compression. While it is well known that autoregressive models can incur a significant computational penalty, we find that in terms of compression performance, autoregressive and hierarchical priors are complementary and can be combined to exploit the probabilistic structure in the latents better than all previous learned models. The combined model yields state-of-the-art rate-distortion performance and generates smaller files than existing methods: 15.8% rate reductions over the baseline hierarchical model and 59.8%, 35%, and 8.4% savings over JPEG, JPEG2000, and BPG, respectively. To the best of our knowledge, our model is the first learning-based method to outperform the top standard image codec (BPG) on both the PSNR and MS-SSIM distortion metrics.

While the popularity of high-resolution, computer-vision applications (e.g. mixed reality, autonomous vehicles) is increasing, there have been complementary advances in time-of-flight depth sensor resolution and quality. These advances in time-of-flight sensors provide a platform for new research into realtime, depth-upsampling algorithms targeted at high-resolution video systems with low-latency requirements. This paper describes a case study in which a previously developed bilateral-filter-style upsampling algorithm is profiled, parallelized, and accelerated on an FPGA using high-level synthesis tools from Xilinx We show that our accelerated algorithm can effectively upsample the resolution and reduce the noise of time-of-flight sensors. We also demonstrate that this algorithm exceeds the real-time requirements of 90 frames per second necessitated by mixed-reality hardware, achieving a lower-bound speedup of 40 times over the fastest CPU-only version.

Petrographic description is one of the primary methods by which geoscientists develop an understanding of geologic systems and constrain source, reservoir, and seal characteristics. Geologic facies or rock types are routinely interpreted from petrographic features in thin sections, hut these methods are time consuming and tedious. The interpretations can be heavily biased. Variations in experience base, microscope quality, and scale of observation can lead to inconsistent interpretations, absorbing costly time to achieve alignment. With advances in computing, millions of images can be analyzed in seconds through signal-processing technologies. With this capability, machine-learning methods can support geologic pattern identification to classify geologic features. Combined, automated image analysis and classification though machine learning can significantly reduce analysis time, interpreter bias and inconsistencies. These methods make it possible to share "expert knowledge" with nonexpert users. imageprocessing, segmentation and classification are key workflows for translating geologic features into discrete representations that can be used for computational modeling. Here, we present two examples where advanced image analysis and machine learning are used to predict geologic and petrophysical properties from optical microscopy thin-section images. The first example uses multiple machine-learning algorithms and pore geometries as a means for predicting and classifying rock properties, such as lithofacies, reservoir zone, porosity and permeability. The second example focuses on training and using convolutional neural networks to classify and predict Dunham textures (mudstone, wackestone, packstone and grainstone) from carbonate thin sections. Data for both machine-learning applications comes from a Jurassic bimodal carbonate reservoir. Key depositional lithofacies include micritic mudstones, bivalve-coated grain pack/grainstones, Cladocoropsis pack/grainstones, stro
