In the event of a maritime disaster, casualties need to be found and rescued promptly. imageprocessing methods could help to perform automated detection from a UAV. The main current approaches make use of multispectral and thermal cameras, which can deal with lightning difficulties but are expensive and could suffer from high noise problems. This paper presents a method combining both color analysis and frequency patterns identification using an inexpensive vision camera (EO camera), and implements it through an adaptive algorithm to deal with a dynamically changing background. The method is tested successfully in different environments.

Real-time computing system attracts more and more attention in both academic researches and industrial applications. One of the real-time computing systems, Apache Storm, because of its characteristics of stream processing and high fault tolerance, is widely used for machine learning and distributed remote process call (RPC), etc. However, the existing approaches to decompose topology for Storm cannot ensure an optimized performance. In this paper, we propose an adaptive topology decomposition algorithm for Storm where topology decomposition based on cluster status and components of topology can be performed at run time. We have evaluated the processing performance and the load balancing of the algorithm. The evaluation results indicate that the proposed algorithm has better performances on task processing and load-balancing than the existing algorithms.

image compression and size reduction increases the number of images stored on a memory space and reduces bandwidth consumption while increasing transmission speed on a communication channel. images can be compressed and decompressed using different methods and algorithms. With the vast increase of quality and size, dedicated processors with parallel processing blocks such as FPGAs are mainly targeted to implementing faster processing circuits and algorithms. This paper proposes FPGA hardware architecture for a stereoscopic image compression algorithm based on block matching, watermarking and Hamming code.

In conventional sparse representations based dictionary learning algorithms, initial dictionaries are generally assumed to be proper representatives of the system at hand. However, this may not be the case, especially in some systems restricted to random initialization. Therefore, a supposedly optimal state-update based on such an improper model might lead to undesired effects that will be conveyed to successive learning iterations. In this paper, we propose a dictionary learning method which includes a general error-correction process that codes the residual left over from a less intensive initial learning attempt and then adjusts the sparse codes accordingly. Experimental observations show that such additional step vastly improves rates of convergence in high-dimensional cases, also results in better converged states in the case of random initialization. Improvements also scale up with more lenient sparsity constraints.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a widely used technique suited for real-time and all-weather imaging of natural surfaces and artificial objects. To improve image resolution and increase accuracy of radar cross section estimation the problem of statistical synthesis of signal processing algorithm in SAR is solved. Proposed method allows to form images with super-resolution in azimuth and range. Synthesis is performed using modern theory of radio engineering systems statistical optimization.

Compressed sensing became a vital tool for image or signal reconstruction with less number of samples compared with the Nyquist rate. Among the existing algorithms for reconstruction of an image using compressed sensing, orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is cost effective in terms of computational complexity. This algorithm provides a solution for overdetermined and underdetermined systems by minimizing the error functions using least square. This work concentrates on the construction of dictionary which can be used to solve the sparsity based image denoising problem. In this paper, we constructed the dictionary using least square solution subjected to thresholding conditions such as hard, soft and semi-soft. Orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm avoids the selection of the same atom in every iteration, due to the existence of orthogonal property between the residue and the atom selected from the dictionary. Thus, OMP algorithm results in precise image reconstruction. The proposed method is validated on four standard test images, such as Lena, Boat, Barbara and Cameraman with different noises such as salt & pepper noise, Gaussian noise and speckle noise with varying the percentage of noise level from 5% to 40%. Obtained results are evaluated by the quality metric peak-to-signal-noise ratio (PSNR) and compared with the existing wavelet based sparse image denoising. The experimental evaluation shows that the proposed method is better applicable to remove the speckle noise and salt & pepper noise when compared with the existing wavelet based sparse image denoising.

A student-built unmanned aerial system (UAS) was developed by the University of Hawaii Drone Technologies team for the 2017 Association for Unmanned Vehicle systems International (AUVSI) Student Unmanned Aerial System (SUAS) competition, which simulates a search-and-rescue (SAR) mission. The UAS comprises a fixed-wing airframe integrated with flight control and communication components, and is capable of autonomous waypoint navigation, in-flight data transfer, aerial image capture with onboard imageprocessing, and aerial payload delivery. The UAS is capable of executing a 30-minute SAR mission in search of a simulated lost hiker. SAR tasks include autonomously navigating to a designated area, conducting a search for alphanumeric targets over a 370,000-m~2 search area, and autonomously dropping an 8-oz care package to the lost hiker. image-processing and computer-vision algorithms can correctly sense and identify the alphanumeric targets with 75% accuracy.

Lack of Proper Information around Sri Lankan Historical Places cause to give false information. If ruins scattered around same place tourists are struggling to identify them. Sometimes there are small sign boards but they don't provide enough information. In this paper we address this challenge by using user captured image or search imaged. Our approach is produced a single document about identified places. System identify the places through training dataset using SVM. System will increase the accuracy of prediction by taking GPS data and user inputs necessarily. The evaluation shows that our approach is more accurate than the existing systems.

Digital tomosynthesis has an advantage of low radiation dose compared to conventional computed tomography (CT) by utilizing small number of projections (similar to 80) acquired over a limited angular range. It can produce 3D volumetric data although they may have some artifacts due to incomplete sampling. Based upon these attractive merits, we developed a prototype digital tomosynthesis R/F system especially for the purpose of applications in chest imaging. Prototype chest digital tomosynthesis (CDT) R/F system contains an X-ray tube with high power R/F pulse generator, flat-panel detector, R/F table, electromechanical radiographic subsystems including precise motor controller, and a reconstruction server. For image reconstruction, users could select the reconstruction option between analytic and iterative methods. Reconstructed images of Catphan700 and LUNGMAN phantoms clearly and rapidly described the internal structures of the phantoms using graphics processing unit (GPU) programming. Contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) values of the CTP682 module was higher in images using the simultaneous algebraic reconstruction technique (SART) than those using filtered back-projection (FBP) for all materials by factors of 2.60, 3.78, 5.50, 2.30, 3.70, and 2.52 for air, lung foam, low density polyethylene (LDPE), Delrin (R) (acetal homopolymer resin), bone 50% (hydroxyapatite), and Teflon, respectively. Total elapsed times for producing 3D volume were 2.92 sec and 86.29 sec on average for FBP and SART (20 iterations), respectively. The times required for reconstruction were clinically feasible. Moreover, the total radiation dose from the system (5.68 mGy) could demonstrate a significant lowered radiation dose compared to conventional chest CT scan. Consequently, our prototype tomosynthesis R/F system represents an important advance in digital tomosynthesis applications.
