Visible light positioning (VLP) is widely believed to be a cost-effective answer to the growing demand for Indoor positioning. However, because of the nonlinear and highly complicated relationship between 3D world coordinate and 2D image coordinate, there is a need to develop effective VLP location algorithm to locate the positioning terminal using image sensor. Besides, due to the high computational cost of imageprocessing, most existing VLP systems fail to deliver satisfactory performance in terms of real-time ability and positioning accuracy, both of which are crucial for the performance of indoor positioning system. The field of view (FOV) of image sensor affects the number of LEDs. Therefore, this paper proposes an image-sensor-based single-light positioning system and sets up relevant experiments to test the proposed system. What's more, the real-time ability is taken into consideration, which greatly improves the robustness and practicality of the system. As for the ID information of each LED, it utilizes the rolling shutter mechanism of the Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor and combines machine learning algorithm to identify. Different from the traditional LED-ID modulation and demodulation methods, the LED-ID detection and recognition problem was treated as a classification problem in machine learning filed. In this paper, two typical linear classifiers in the case of binary classification problem are introduced. As the features of different LED-ID is linear separable in the feature space, linear classifiers are used to identify the LED-ID. The scheme proposed could improve the speed of LED-ID identification and the robustness of the system by off-line training for the classifiers and online recognition of LED-ID. When there's only one LED in the camera image, it means the distance between the terminal and LED is so close that the diameter of the LED can be measured. Therefore, it is able to use the proposed single-light positioni

Vessel enhancement in two-dimensional angiogram images is an essential pre-requisite step towards the isolation of coronary arteries. Hessian-based filters are the most commonly used vessel enhancement filters; however, these filters are more sensitive to noise and suppress the bifurcation regions. Suppression of bifurcation regions results in disconnected vessels. In this study, we present a technique that enhances the arteries of the heart in 2D angiograms and also refines the noisy vesselness obtained through Frangi's method by using guided filter which produces more enhanced image that can be used as an effective pre-processing step for binarization of the Frangi vessel response having less discontinuities and joint suppression. The proposed approach makes use of the guided filter which smooths the edges, and at the same time preserves the edges as well for the enhancement of vessels. Following this filter, an Adaptive thresholding is applied to segment the coronary arteries from the angiogram. The proposed method has been tested on real angiography images and the efficiency of the method has been shown qualitatively as well as quantitatively.

High precision center detection of X-markers is required in many applications such as navigation surgery systems and camera calibration. Hough transform is a preferable tool for extracting intersecting lines in an image, which leads to center detection. In this paper, we detect X-marker centers by the sub-pixel precision, using Hough transform. Switching to Hough space helps us to apply processes like thresholding, filtering and weighted averaging on coordinates. The algorithm involves two parameters `Hough Size' and `Filter Size' required to be adjusted for best performance of the algorithm. A dataset of 900 images is used and best performance is achieved by values of 180 and 23 for the above parameters, respectively. Using this setting, 90.8% of the centers are detected successfully by the sub-pixel precision. The average distance between detected centers and reference centers is 0.51 pixels. This suggests that the proposed algorithm has the potential to be utilized for sub-pixel marker detection.

People recognition in digital images has wide applications and challenges. In this article, we present a systematic review of works published in the last decade;based on which, we have identified, implemented and tested the frequently used and best-assessed algorithms. We have found Histograms of Oriented Gradients (HOG) like feature extraction algorithm;and two classification algorithms, AdaBoost and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The tests were performed on 50 images chosen randomly from Penn-Fudan public database. The accuracy in SVM-HOG combination was 0.96, it is a similar value to a related work;and the detection rate was 0.66 in SVM-HOG combination and 0.72 in Adaboost-HOG combination, they are inferior to related works. We shall discuss possible reasons.

In fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT), the reconstruction results can greatly benefit from a priori information of accurate tissue optical-structures, which is difficult to be obtained in vivo with the traditional diffuse optical tomography (DOT) alone. One of the solutions is to apply a priori anatomical-structures obtained with anatomical imaging systems such as X-ray computed tomography (XCT) to constrain the reconstruction process of DOT. However, since the X-ray imaging mechanism limits the contrast between soft-tissues, it is difficult to segment the abdominal organs from XCT images. In order to overcome the challenges, the anatomical-structures of a target mouse are approximately obtained through registering a standard mouse anatomical atlas, i.e., the Digimouse, to its XCT volume with non-rigid image registration, and the optical-structures of the target mouse is approximately estimated through anatomical-structures guided time-resolve DOT strategy. Results of numerical simulations reveals that the an effective target atlas can be obtained through the registration method, and the results show that the absorption and reduced scattering coefficients of each organs can be recovered with reasonable accuracies.

Compression of moving images has opened unprecedented opportunities of transmission and storage of digital video. Extraordinary performance of today's video codecs is a result of tens of years of work on the development of methods of data encoding. This paper is an attempt to show this history of development. It highlights the history of individual algorithms of data encoding as well as the evolution of video compression technologies as a whole. With the development of successive technologies also functionalities of codecs were evolving, which make also the topic of the paper. The paper ends the attempt of authors' forecasting about the future evolution of video compression technologies.

During last years, images and videos have become widely used in many daily applications. Indeed, they can come from cameras, smartphones, social networks of from medical devices. Generally, these images and videos are used for illustrating people or objects (cars, trains, planes, etc.) in many situations such as airports, train stations, public areas, sport events, hospitals, etc. Thus, image and video processingalgorithms have got increasing importance, they are required from various computer visions applications such as motion tracking, real time event detection, database (images and videos) indexation and medical computer aided diagnosis methods. In this paper, we propose a cloud platform that integrates the above-mentioned methods, which are generally developed with popular open source image and video processing libraries (OpenCV(1), OpenGL(2), ITK3, VTK4, etc.). Theses modules are automatically integrated and configured in the cloud application. Thus, the platform users will have access to different computer vision techniques without the need to download, install and configure the corresponding software. Each guest can select the required application, load its data and get the output results in a safe and simple way. The cloud platform can handle the variety of Operating systems and programming languages (C++, Java, Python, etc.). Experimentations were conducted within two kinds of applications. The first represents medical methods such as image segmentation in MR images, 3D image reconstruction from 2D radiographs, left ventricle segmentation and tracking from 2D echocardiography. The second kind of applications is related to video processing such as face, people and cars tracking, and abnormal event detection in crowd videos.
