In the paper we present a method for increasing the quality of views synthesized with typical Depth-image-Based Rendering (DIBR) view synthesis algorithms. In the proposed idea the resolution of input real views and corresponding depth maps is doubled before the view synthesis. After the synthesis, the resolution of a synthesized view is downsampled back to the original resolution. This approach is transparent for the view synthesis algorithms, thus can be used with any DIBR method. In the paper, tests for two synthesis algorithms (the state-of-the-art MPEG reference software and our view synthesis method) are presented. For both algorithms, the proposed upsampling improves objective and subjective quality of synthesized views.

Multispectral sharpening of hyperspectral imagery fuses the spectral content of a hyperspectral image with the spatial and spectral content of the multispectral image. The approach we have been investigating compares the spectral information present in the multispectral image to the spectral content in the hyperspectral image and derives a set of equations to approximately transform the multispectral image into a synthetic hyperspectral image. This synthetic hyperspectral image is then recombined with the original low-resolution hyperspectral image to produce a sharpened product. We evaluate this technique against several types of data, showing good performance across with all data sets. Recent improvements in the algorithm allow target detection to be performed without loss of performance even at extreme sharpening ratios.

This paper presents a comparison between different signal processingalgorithms applied to a gyro-based computer head mouse for persons with movement disorders. MEMS-gyros can be used to sense the head movement and rotation. However, the measured gyro signals are influenced by noise, offset, drift and especially temperature drift. Thus, there is a need to improve the signal by signal processingalgorithms. Different gyros have different characteristics and the algorithms should be useful for any selected MEMS-gyro. In this paper, three different signal processingalgorithms were designed and evaluated by simulation in MATLAB and implementation in a dsPIC, with the aim to compensate for the temperature drift problem. The algorithms are high-pass filtering, Kalman algorithm and Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. Comparisons and system test show that these filters can be used for temperature drift compensation and the Kalman filter showed the best in the application of a MEMS-gyro-based computer head mouse.

We present parallel algorithms for fast subpixel detection of targets in hyperspectral imagery produced by our Hyperspectral Airborne Tactical Instrument (HATI-2500). The HATI-2500 hyperspectral imaging system has a blue-enhanced visible-near-IR (VNIR) and a full short-wave IR (SWIR) range response from 400 to 2500 nm. It has an industry-leading spectral resolution that ranges from 6 nm down to 1.5 nm in the VNIR region. The parallel detection algorithm selected for processing the hyperspectral data cubes is based on the adaptive coherence/cosine estimator (ACE). The ACE detector is a robust detector that is built upon the theory of generalized likelihood ratio testing (GLRT) in implementing the matched subspace detector to unknown parameters such as the noise covariance matrix. Subspace detectors involve projection transformations whose matrices can be efficiently manipulated through multithreaded massively parallel processors on modern graphics processing units (GPU). The GPU kernels developed in this work are based on the CUDA computing architecture. We constrain the detection problem to a model with known target spectral features and unstructured background. The processing includes the following steps: 1) scale and offset applied to convert the data from digital numbers to radiance values, 2) update the background inverse covariance estimate in a line-by-line manner, and 3) apply the ACE detector for each pixel for binary hypothesis testing. As expected, the algorithm is extremely effective for homogeneous background, such as open desert areas;and less effective in mixed spectral regions, such as those over urban areas. The processing rate is shown to be faster than the maximum frame rate of the camera (100 Hz) with a comfortable margin.

In the field of imageprocessing, binary images and grayscale images play a vital role in the application of object recognition, tracking, document analysis and authentication and machine intelligence. This paper proposes a reconfigurable processing module for image processor, in which the imageprocessing functions and algorithms can be implemented, instead of using separate application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for each algorithm. The reconfigurable module includes functions like basic mathematical morphological operations for binary and grayscale images and certainimageprocessingalgorithms. The reconfiguration module is implemented in field programmable gate arrays and compared with existing systems. The experimental and simulation results show that the module which has been implemented in the VIRTEX 4 XC4VLx15 device family at a 180-MHZ system clock and is suitable for real time imageprocessing applications.

The design of sensing and control systems for two-dimensional industrial processes such as paper making, plastic film extrusion and metal rolling, has drawn extensively upon concepts from two-dimensional signal processing and imageprocessing. The performance of two-dimensional control systems is discussed in terms of spatial and dynamic bandwidths and is illustrated by examples from the control of cross-directional variations on a plastic film extrusion line. By relating these bandwidths to the specification of the required quality of the finished film and typical disturbances that enter the process, specifications are developed for the design of the actuators, the sensing system and the control algorithm. It is shown that the current generation of control systems is not suitable for controlling variations over small areas of sheet, but a system which regulates over much smaller areas could be developed using recent developments in sensors and two-dimensional control algorithms.

A challenge in applying imageprocessingalgorithms to scientific data is the variation within and across images in a data set. This makes it difficult to select parameters for the algorithms, especially when the data set is large and the variation is unknown. Using the task of segmentation of retinal images, we discuss the challenges that arise in selecting parameters for even a relatively simple algorithm. We show that the availability of ground truth results could make the identification of parameters subjective and propose a simple idea that could benefit the selection of a single parameter.

image de-noising in the spatial-temporal domain has been a problem studied in-depth in the field of digital imageprocessing. However complexity of algorithms often leads to high hardware resource usage, or computational complexity and memory bandwidth issues, making their practical use impossible. In our research we attempt to solve these issues with an optimized implementation of a practical spatial-temporal de-noising algorithm Spatial-temporal filtering was performed in Bayer RAW data space, which allowed us to benefit from predictable sensor noise characteristics and reduce memory bandwidth requirements. The proposed algorithm efficiently removes different kinds of noise in a wide range of signal to noise ratios. In our algorithm the local motion compensation is performed in Bayer RAW data space, while preserving the resolution and effectively improving the signal to noise ratios of moving objects. The main challenge for the use of spatial-temporal noise reduction algorithms in video applications is the compromise between the quality of the motion prediction and the complexity of the algorithm and required memory bandwidth In photo and video applications it is very important that moving objects should stay sharp, while the noise is efficiently removed in both the static background and moving objects. Another important use case is the case when background is also non-static as well as the foreground where objects are also moving. Taking into account the achievable improvement in PSNR (on the level of the best known noise reduction techniques, like VBM3D) and low algorithmic complexity, enabling its practical use in commercial video applications, the results of our research can be very valuable.
