Conventional wisdom in model-based computational imaging incorporates physics-based imaging models, noise characteristics, and image priors into a unified Bayesian framework. Rapid advances in deep learning have inspired a new generation of data-driven computational imaging systems with performances even better than those of their model-based counterparts. However, the design of learning-based algorithms for computational imaging often lacks transparency, making it difficult to optimize the entire imaging system in a complete manner.

This paper examines the feasibility of an approach to image retrieval from a heterogeneous collection based on texture. For each texture of interest (T), a T-vs-other classifier is evolved for small n x n windows using genetic programming. The classifier is then used to segment the images in the collection. If there is a significant contiguous area of T in an image, it is considered to contain that texture for retrieval purposes. We have experimented with sky and grass textures in the Corel Volume 12 image set Experiments with a single image indicate that classifiers for the two textures can be learned to a high accuracy. Experiments with a test set of 714 Corel images gave a retrieval accuracy of 84% for both sky and grass textures. These results suggest that the use of texture could enhance retrieval accuracy in content based image retrieval systems.

This paper presents an automated algorithm for image enhancement. A novel parametric indices of fuzziness (PIF) is introduced, which serves as the optimization criterion of the contrast enhancement procedure. The proposed PIT comprises the Sugeno class of involutive fuzzy complements and the first order fuzzy moment of the image. The PIT as the measure of fuzziness should be maximized, and the maximum of PIT is tuned based on the first-order fuzzy moment of the image. The parameters of the transformation function are found by the genetic algorithm aiming to maximize the PIF. Finally, several experiments are made to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method.

A novel approach based on computationalintelligence techniques for the identification of nonlinear dynamic systems is presented in this paper. The technique encompasses both the properties of the Karhunen-Loeve Transform in representing stochastic processes and the approximation capabilities of multi-layer neural networks. Experimental results on nonlinear systems governed by difference equations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach that is based on a real-time learning algorithm. Exhaustive experimentation on specific case studies was performed and some experimental results were compared with other existing techniques such as the Lee-Schetzen method, Least Mean Square (LMS), Recursive Least Square (RLS) and Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algorithms. A better identification-accuracy was also achieved, and a reduction of some orders of magnitude in training-times compared with the well-known Lee-Schetzen method was obtained, thus making the proposed methodology one of the current best practices in this field.

In classical graph-based image segmentation, a data-driven matrix is constructed representing similarities between every pair of pixels. The eigenvectors of such matrices contain relevant information about the clusters present on the image. An approach to image segmentation using spectral clustering with out-of-sample extensions is presented. This approach is based on the weighted kernel PCA framework. An advantage of the proposed method is the possibility to train and validate the clustering model on subsampled parts of the image to be segmented. The cluster indicators for the remaining pixels can then be inferred using the out-of-sample extension. This subsampling scheme can be used to reduce the computation time of the segmentation. Simulation results with grayscale and color images show improvements in terms of computation times together with visually appealing clusters.

The segmentation of MR images has been playing an important role to improve the detection and diagnosis of breast cancer. Main problem in breast images is the identification of the boundary between chest wall and breast tissue. Minimizing the effects of patient motion is also important step in segmentation process. In imageprocessing, there are many different segmentation algorithms. The most common used method among them is thresholding. However, classic thresholding methods are not effective for axial MR breast images completely because of the fact that the sequence artifacts in axial MR breast images are very high. For this reason, we have proposed a regional thresholding algorithm to segment MR images successfully. The outstanding problem is how to obtain an automatic procedure for detecting boundary between breast tissue and chest wall.

This paper introduces a novel approach to change gathered images from WWW into training images to build an image thesaurus. The requirements for being training images are a large number of images and with highly relevant to a given concept. To fulfill these requirements, a system should be able to collect a large number of relevant images to a given concept from WWW by the proposed criterion of relevance to the concept for each image. Then, the irrelevant images would be filtered out by the modified hierarchical clustering method based on the weighted combination of 5 MPEG-7 visual descriptors[9] and the proposed criterion of relevance to the concept for each cluster. Upon experimental results, the precision of the set of images generated by the proposed method is about 18% higher than that of the set of images generated by other methods[1][2].

image-jamming is one of the effective modes of self-defense interference against airborne (missile-borne) radar. It uses the multipath propagation strategy to prevent the radar from intercepting the exact location of jammer platform. Based on the analysis of the principle of image-jamming, this paper introduces a method of detecting image-jamming signals by using the polarization phase difference characteristics of received signals. According to this method, an image-jamming signal detection system was designed, and its composition and work flow were described in detail.

Rapid progress in the development of technological and computational tools has motivated substantial changes in the educational approach to the different disciplines of signal, image, and video processing. Moreover, the parallel evolution of sensor systems, data acquisition methods, and computationalintelligence has emphasized the importance of signalprocessing and information engineering, particularly its role in integrating different scientific disciplines through the use of a common set of tools and underlying mathematics. Modern educational courses follow these trends and generally combine the teaching of fundamental computational methods of signal and system modeling with applications to selected case studies. The unifying idea is to apply similar mathematical methods for data processing in completely diverse areas. Emerging methods used in education contribute to this progress, and they provide opportunities to bring together specialists from different disciplines. New technologies facilitate real or virtual activities through excursions to remote laboratories, allowing the demonstration of robotic and speech recognition systems, for example. Participation in seminars, videoconferences, and discussions during colloquia meetings, when included in educational courses, can form further progressive and attractive teaching methods for the rapidly developing interdisciplinary area of signalprocessing.
