The traditional RCS measurement needs to meet the far-field conditions or special equipment, which has high cost and many limitations. In order to overcome these drawbacks, it is a feasible method to obtain far-field RCS through near-field measurement. In this article, we design a two-dimensional scanning system, which can obtain the near-field three-dimensional scattering coefficient image of the target. Then, we adopt a near-field to far-field transformation method based on spherical wave compensation and back projection to acquire far-field RCS. Finally, some simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the system and the developed approach.

We combine a visual odometry system with an aided inertial navigation filter to produce a precise and robust navigation system that does not rely on external infrastructure. Incremental structure from motion with sparse bundle adjustment using a stereo camera provides real-time highly accurate pose estimates of the sensor which are combined with six degree-of-freedom inertial measurements in an Extended Kalman Filter. The filter is structured to neatly handle the incremental and local nature of the visual odometry measurements and to handle uncertainties in the system in a principled manner. We present accurate results from data acquired in rural and urban scenes on a tractor and a passenger car travelling distances of several kilometers.

In this paper, we propose an effective single image super-resolution method for unaligned face images, in which the learning-based hierarchical clustering regression approach is used to get better reconstruction model. The proposed face hallucination method can be divided into two parts: clustering and regression. In the clustering part, a dictionary is trained on the whole face image with tiny size, and the training images are clustered based on the Euclidean distance. Thus, the facial structural prior is fully utilized and the accurate result of clustering can be obtained. In the regression part, only one global dictionary in which atoms are taken as the anchors, will be trained in the entire training phase. Therefore, the time complexity can be effectively reduced. More importantly, the learned anchors are shared with all the clusters. For each cluster, the Euclidean distance is used to search the nearest neighbors for each anchor to form the subspace. Moreover, a regression model is learned to map the relationship between low-resolution features and high-resolution samples in every subspace. The core idea of our method is to utilize the same anchors but different samples for clusters to learn the local mapping more accurately, which can reduce training time and improve reconstruction quality. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms some state-of-the-art methods.

In this paper, we present the implementation of the robust detail preserving filters with complex noise suppression for imageprocessing applications. The designed filter is the consequential connection of two filters. The first filter uses the value of central pixel of the filtering window to provide the preservation of fine details and the redescending M-estimators combined with the median estimator to provide impulsive noise rejection. The second filter uses the output of the first filter as the pre-estimator for an adaptive calculation in the redescending M-estimator. We investigated various types of influence functions in the M-estimator those are similar to the ones used in the Sigma filter to provide multiplicative noise suppression. The optimal values of the parameters of designed filters in presence of different noise mixture are determined. Different simulation data are presented in the paper and shown the statistical efficiency of the filters.

Once image motion is accurately estimated, we can utilize those motion estimates for image sharpening and we can remove motion blurs. First, for the motion de-blurring, this paper presents a model-based PDE method that minimizes the regularized energy functional defined with a spatially variant model of motion blurs. Unlike the case of spatially invariant image blurs, the minimization of the energy functional cannot be achieved in a closed non-iterative way, and we derive its iterative algorithm. The standard regularization method uses a square function to measure energy of its solution function, and employs the energy functional composed of the data-fidelity energy term to measure a deviation of a solution function from the assumed model of motion blurs and the regularization energy term to impose smoothness constraints on a solution function. However, the standard variational method is not proper for the motion de-blurring, because it is sensitive to model errors, and occurrence of errors are inevitable in motion estimation. To improve the robustness against the model errors, we employ a nonlinear robust estimation function for measuring energy to be minimized. Secondly, this paper experimentally compares the model-based PDE method with our previously presented model-free PDE method that does not need any accurate blur model. In the model-error-free case the model-based PDE method outperforms the model-free PDE method, whereas in the model-error case the latter works better than the former.

Video coding for Internet applications faces major challenges. Due to the heterogeneity of the network, users with very different access bandwidths to the Internet want to receive videos of the best possible quality. A good coding scheme for layered video pursues the following major goal: it maximises the subjective visual quality at a given bandwidth. In this article, we present four different techniques for video layering. The work focuses on an evaluation carried out on 30 test probands. The objective was twofold: finding both a suitable metric for automatic video quality assessment, as well as the best layering technique. The experimental results lead us to pronounce recommendations on the metric for automatic video quality assessment, and on a best video layering technique with regard to human perception.

The agricultural industries have always demanded technologies for the automatic discovery and diagnosis of plant diseases with high speed, accuracy, and low cost. Numerous studies have been conducted in response to this demand;however, significant issues remain in most cases where a large-scale dataset of field images is taken with different atmospheric conditions, lighting, scale, and in different directions. The large dataset often causes high computational and storage costs. To overcome this problem, we focus on methods based on efficient invariant image features. These methods are robust against such external factors added during image acquisitions with low computational cost and higher accuracy. We then use a well-known data clustering algorithm k-means to create visual features for lesions. We then create a group of robust visual features (BoVF) using the Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) weighting scheme that considers the most important visual features in the image for classification. Experimental results classify the BoVF using K-means clustering that categorizes a particular disease in the leaf image into their appropriate group.

The online apparel retail market size in the United States is worth about seventy-two billion US dollars. Recommender systems on retail websites generate a lot of this revenue. Thus, improving recommender systems can increase their revenue. Traditional recommendations for clothes consisted of lexical methods. However, visual-based recommendations have gained popularity over the past few years. This involves processing a multitude of images using different imageprocessing techniques. In order to handle such a vast quantity of images, deep neural networks have been used extensively. With the help of fast Graphics processing Units, these networks provide results which are extremely accurate, within a small amount of time. However, there are still ways in which recommendations for clothes can be improved. We propose an event-based clothing recommender system which uses object detection. We train a model to identify nine events/scenarios that a user might attend: White Wedding, Indian Wedding, conference, Funeral, Red Carpet, Pool Party, Birthday, Graduation and Workout. We train another model to detect clothes out of fifty-three categories of clothes worn at the event. Object detection gives a mAP of 84.01. Nearest neighbors of the clothes detected are recommended to the user.

With the rise of misinformation in news sites and social media, multi-modal machine learning methods that can identify fake news by analyzing inconsistencies within the articles have become increasingly important. Current state-of-the-art methods based on traditional image-caption models can only process captions within 1 to 2 sentences. Existing models struggle on analyzing long articles as they were not trained for such purposes. The main limitation is the lack of fine-grained localized evidence needed for consistency detection. We propose an ensemble method combining a bank of visual detectors and BERT-based NLP models that can effectively compute the consistency among the image(s) and paragraph(s) of texts. Our method is effective in both detecting the standard image-caption pairs and longer form news articles. Our method is able to process longer form of multi-modal media via the localization of fine-grained evidence with modularity and explainability. Evaluation is performed on a MS COCO data subset and a news article benchmark of the DARPA SemaFor program. We achieved 83% AUC on the COCO subset as well as a competitive result within the SemaFor evaluation.

image denoising is an important in the field of medical imageprocessing and computer vision. image denoising continues a challenge for researchers because noise removal gives artifacts and the main source for blurring of the images. In this work four different methods are proposed to reduce the image artifacts and noise in the MRI images and also Partial Differential Equations (PDE) is applied to ROF filter to get better results in MRI brain images. The existing methods are compared and estimated based on the error rate and their quality of the image. The efficiency of the proposed denoising technique is measured by using quantitative performance and in terms of visual quality of the images.
