A Light field image contains shear amount of data as it keeps the full spatio-angular information of the real scene. In this paper we propose a light field image coding scheme based on the latest JEM coding technologies. We propose a novel hybrid scan order to rearrange subaperture images into an image sequence and verify its importance to coding performance of light field image format. The experiment on EPEE light field image dataset demonstrates that our scheme achieves 7.06 dB gain compared with directly encoding the image by the JPEG standard. With the QP set to 50, our scheme achieves an average compression ratio of 7107, and still provides larger PSNRs and better viewing experience than JPEG at a compression ratio of 100.

In this paper, we propose a reduced-reference scheme for evaluating the quality of blurred images under the theory of free-energy principle. Specifically, the free-energy principle indicates that the brain tries to account for the input image with an internal generative model and the discrepancy between the image and its model-explained version, which can be measured by free energy, is related to the image's perceptual quality. Accordingly, we define a visual distance between the blurred image and its original image in free energy to evaluate the quality of the blurred image. Therefore, the proposed quality scheme belongs to reduced-reference methods, which needs some information from the original image for quality assessment. Experimental results on public databases, LIVE, TID2013 and C-SIQ, demonstrate the proposed method works in high consistency with subjective assessment results and outperforms representative image quality assessment approaches.

To avoid distortion in sky regions and make the sky and white objects clear, in this paper we propose a new image and video dehazing method utilizing the view-based cluster segmentation. Firstly, GMM (Gaussian Mixture Model)is utilized to cluster the depth map based on the distant view to estimate the sky region and then the transmission estimation is modified to reduce distortion. Secondly, we present to use GMM based on Color Attenuation Prior to divide a single hazy image into K classifications, so that the atmospheric light estimation is refined to improve global contrast. Finally, online GMM cluster is applied to video dehazing. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can have superior haze removing and color balancing capabilities.

In this paper, a full reference stereoscopic image quality assessment (FR-SIQA) method is proposed based on independent component analysis (ICA) and binocular combination. image features that reflect the responds of simple cells in the cortex are extracted by ICA-based algorithm. Both image feature similarity (IFS) and local luminance consistency (LLC) are calculated to measure the structure and brightness distortions, respectively. To simulate the binocular fusion properties, the energy of image features and the global relative luminance information are selected as the basic of binocular combination to fuse the right-left IFS and LLC into a final index. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves high consistency with subjective assessment on two public available 3D image quality assessment databases.

In this paper, we propose an effective no-reference image quality assessment (IQA) method based on local region statistics (NRLRS). The proposed method is built on the hypothesis that image distortions may alter the local region statistics which can be well characterized by the inter-pixel relationship. Hence, by extracting perceptual features that describe the inter-pixel patterns of a distorted image, we can effectively quantify the impact of image degradation. For this purpose, the perceptual gray-level differences between neighboring pixels are extracted and a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) codebook is constructed as the generative model of extracted features. The Fisher vector representation is then derived to describe image as their derivations from the GMM model. Finally, partial least square regression is used to map the Fisher encodings to quality scores. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method achieves better performance in quality prediction as compared to relevant full-reference and no-reference IQA methods.

Domain Adaptation (DA) has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. DA aims at overcoming the covariate shift in dataset and aligning multiple existing but partially related data collections. In this paper, we propose a new DA algorithm which aligns the weighted subspaces generated from source samples and target samples. The weighted subspaces of source samples are generated using weighted Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Specifically, the source samples closer to the target domain are given higher weights during the construction of subspaces, which is definitely beneficial for building an adaptable classifier. Subsequently, the weighted subspaces of source samples and the subspaces of target samples are aligned to achieve domain adaptation. Experimental results on standard datasets demonstrate the advantages of our approach over state-of-the-art DA approaches.

Using the method of imagevisualprocessing to assist clinical diagnosis is an important technology of medicine field, because of this, gradually become a hot research topic in recent years. Spine MRI image contains important information of spine and plays an active role in diagnosis, therefore, there must be a robust method for the image segmentation and extract the useful information, this is also helpful for the subsequent 3D reconstruction. In this paper, we propose a fully automatic, unsupervised segmentation algorithm of intervertebral disc using an improved marker controlled watershed transformation which combines intention and prior shape information. Experimental results show that our algorithm can accurately extract the outline of intervertebral disc from normal spine and different degree of deformation of the spine. Obviously, this method is robust enough to deal with different shapes of disc.

Two directions of development of intelligent real time video systems (technical vision systems) are considered in the report. First direction consists in increasing intellectuality of video systems at the cost of development of new information basis and dynamic models of video information perception processes, principles of control reading parameters of video information for reducing redundancy of video sequence representation and for adaptation them to the requirements of concrete task. Second direction is associated with development of new architectures for parallel perception and processing of information directly on a video sensor matrix, that excludes the need of detailed programming of sequential processes of reading, analog-to-digital conversion and processing of video information. Peculiarities of construction, mechanisms of attention and adaptation, specialization of neurons on the retinal layers and wide parallelism of information processing on neuron network, which take place in a human visual analyzer, are used as a prototype for both directions.

Inspired by the high performance of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), this paper reports our work on applying the ideas of HEVC intra coding to compression of high-depth images such as 32 bits per pixel (b/p) seismic data. Compared to a licensed commercial wavelet-based codec that is currently used for seismic image compression, which performs on par with JPEG-XR, our new image codec significantly improves the PSNR vs. compression ratio performance. The codec's subject performance is rated by geologist as highly satisfactory.

We propose a novel single image super-resolution (SR) algorithm based on the projective dictionary pair learning with anchored neighborhood regression. Different from previous dictionary learning methods that aim to learn only a synthesis or an analysis dictionary, our method would learn both types of dictionaries jointly for regression to achieve image SR. We first cluster the training features into K clusters in order to learn synthesis and analysis dictionaries. Moreover, we learn the regressions with the training samples at training phase and use them on reconstruction stage. As shown in our experimental results, the proposed method obtains high-quality SR results quantitatively and visually against state-of-the-art methods.
