In this paper we present a brief review and examples of image registration. When one wishes to fuse multiple images from disparate sources, the first step is image registration, finding the appropriate transform which maps pixels in image 1 to the corresponding pixels in image 2. Only after this step one may begin to correctly fuse and process information from both images simultaneously.

The aim of this paper is to present a comparative analysis of the execution times of low-level vision algorithms on two different SIMD parallel machines. The set of algorithms is part of the DARPA image Understanding benchmark, a widely-accepted platform for performance comparison of parallel systems in the field of computer vision. The considered computer architectures represent two opposite solutions in terms of granularity in approaching the SIMD paradigm, one with a coarse-grain array of floating-point processors and the other with a fine-grain array of single-bit processing elements. For these reasons, the set of algorithms was implemented on both systems taking into account machine specificities. In this work some insights into implementation issues and a comparative analysis of the assessed execution times are presented.

Electron-optical image converters (EOIC) have been known to be useful in recording and investigating highspeed processes, nuclear physics experiments, automatic environmental control, medicine etc. In this paper the cathode ray tubes with the cathodoluminescent screen having a sufficiently high level of the radiation temporal coherence (particularly on the basis of rare-earth phosphors) are proposed to be utilised as devices for the dynamic data input into the holographic correlator for realisation of TV signal recognition in real time. This approach allows combining both the radiation source and the spatial light modulator functions in one compact device.

Availability of hardware implementations of super-resolution image reconstruction algorithms is limited mostly by their logical and memory requirements. This is also the case for other imageprocessingalgorithms such as hyperspectral, image compression, image coding, video coding. In previous publications we have introduced a new execution flow that tackles the problem of high memory requirements of a restoration-interpolation super-resolution kernel by carrying out processing in a macroblock-by-macroblock manner. In this work we present the modelling framework used for the evaluation of the proposed execution flow. The modelling process is presented in a step-by-step manner by means of a real-life example of implementation of super-resolution image reconstruction with description of the choices made at every stage and explanation of the reasoning behind. In the presented case the use of the proposed frame-work led to a hardware implementation with real-time capabilities. This frame-work can be applied to similar algorithms, helping system designers in achieving better work organization and efficiency.

Automatic micropropagation is necessary to produce cost-effective high amounts of biomass. Juvenile plants are dissected in clean- room environment on particular points on the stem or the leaves. A vision-system detects possible cutting points and controls a specialized robot. This contribution is directed to the pattern- recognition algorithms to detect structural parts of the plant.

In this paper, imageprocessingalgorithms designed in Zynq SoC using the Vivado HLS tool are presented and compared with hand-coded designs. In Vivado HLS, the designer has the opportunity to employ libraries similar to OpenCV, a library that is well-known and wide used by software designers. The algorithms are compared in terms of area resources in two conditions: using the libraries and not using the libraries. The case studies are Data Binning, a Step Row Filter and a Sobel Filter. These algorithms have been selected because they are very common in the field of imageprocessing and they have high computational complexity. The main benefit of the Vivado HLS tool is the reduction in time-to-market. On the other hand, when a software designer hand-codes the design, the use of imageprocessing libraries similar to OpenCV helps to reduce development time even further because software designers are familiar with them. However, using these kinds of libraries significantly increases the necessary FPGA resources.

The image-to-image translation (I2IT) task aims to transform images from the source domain into the specified target domain. State-of-the-art CycleGAN-based translation algorithms typically use cycle consistency loss and latent regression loss to constrain translation. In this work, it is demonstrated that the model parameters constrained by the cycle consistency loss and the latent regression loss are equivalent to optimizing the medians of the data distribution and the generative distribution. In addition, there is a style bias in the translation. This bias interacts between the generator and the style encoder and visually exhibits translation errors, e.g. the style of the generated image is not equal to the style of the reference image. To address these issues, a new I2IT model termed high-quality-I2IT (HQ-I2IT) is proposed. The optimization scheme is redesigned to prevent the model from optimizing the median of the data distribution. In addition, by separating the optimization of the generator and the latent code estimator, the redesigned model avoids error interactions and gradually corrects errors during training, thereby avoiding learning the median of the generated distribution. The experimental results demonstrate that the visual quality of the images produced by HQ-I2IT is significantly improved without changing the generator structure, especially when guided by the reference images. Specifically, the Frechet inception distance on the AFHQ and CelebA-HQ datasets are reduced from 19.8 to 10.2 and from 23.8 to 17.0, respectively. In this work, it is demonstrated that the cycle consistency loss and latent regression loss in CycleGAN-based image translation models can be detrimental to image quality. The optimization scheme of CycleGAN-based image translation systems is redesigned and a new translation model named HQ-I2IT is proposed. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve image quality and translation ***

Biometric systems based on one-modal biometrics are often not able to meet the desired performance requirements for large user population applications, due to problems such as noisy data, intra-class variations, restricted degrees of freedom, non-university, spoof attacks, and unacceptable error rates. Therefore, multimodal biometrics refers to the use of a combination of two or more biometric modalities in a single recognition or identification system. In order to ensure that the performance of multibiometric systems such as fingerprint and iris will be powerful with respect to the quality of obtained fingerprint and iris images, these images are denoised and enhanced. In this study, curvelet transform is applied biometric images for enhancement. Obtained results after applied curvelet transform is compared to the other traditional image enhancement algorithms. Features obtained from enhanced fingerprints and iris images are selected by using Genetic algorithms because of too huge dataset. Selected features are input to Artificial Neural Networks for biometric recognition. Thus, the recognition is achieved very fast without to reduce the performance.

In this paper, a practical medical imageprocessing subsystem is introduced. This subsystem is a part of a 3-D Radiosurgery Treatment Planning System (RTPS) for X-Knife, which was designed and developed by us. The RTPS is used for clinical radioneurosurgery. It supplies a radiosurgery treatment designing tool with a visual interactive interface for doctors. A reasonable architecture is designed by integrating different functional modules. In these functional modules, some new algorithms were developed. The new algorithms in this paper include only tracing image contour and editing image contour used for reconstruction of 3-D medical image. The other new algorithms will be published later. The feature of the system is smart, feasible and precision. Now the system has been used in clinical practices.
