In this paper we investigate the use of quantum computing systems in the field of imageprocessing. We consider histogram-based imageprocessing operations and develop quantum algorithms for histogram computation and threshold-based segmentation. The underlying principle used for constructing the proposed quantum algorithms is to reformulate them in order to exploit the performance of the quantum Fourier transform and of quantum amplitude amplification. We show that, compared to the classical correspondents, a significant speedup can be achieved by expressing parts of the computational process in terms of problems that can be solved using these quantum techniques.(C) 2013 Elsevier B.v.

Automatic image annotation is the computer vision task of assigning a set of appropriate textual tags to a novel image. The aim is to eventually bridge the semantic gap of visual and textual representations with the help of these tags. This also has applications in designing scalable image retrieval systems and providing multilingual interfaces. Though a wide varieties of powerful machine learning algorithms have been explored for the image annotation problem in the recent past, nearest neighbor techniques still yield superior results to them. A challenge ahead of the present day annotation schemes is the lack of sufficient training data. In this paper, an active Learning based image annotation model is proposed. We leverage the image-to-image and image-to-tag similarities to decide the best set of tags describing the semantics of an image. The advantages of the proposed model includes: (a). It is able to output the variable number of tags for images which improves the accuracy. (b). It is effectively able to choose the difficult samples that needs to be manually annotated and thereby reducing the human annotation efforts. Studies on Corel and IAPR TC-12 datasets validate the effectiveness of this model.

In this work we propose a novel framework to obtain High Resolution (HR) images from Compressed Sensing (CS) imaging systems capturing multiple Low Resolution (LR) images of the same scene. The proposed CS Super Resolution (SR) approach combines existing CS reconstruction algorithms with an LR to HR approach based on the use of a Super Gaussian (SG) regularization term. The reconstruction is formulated as a constrained optimization problem which is solved using the Alternate Direction Methods of Multipliers (ADMM). The image estimation subproblem is solved using Majorization-Minimization (MM) while the CS reconstruction becomes an l_1-minimization subject to a quadratic constraint. The performed experiments show that the proposed method compares favorably to classical SR methods at compression ratio 1, obtaining excellent SR reconstructions at ratios below one.

This paper proposes a novel algorithm to automatically detect the repetitive elements with accurate shapes, locations and sizes from single facade image. Unlike other algorithms, our algorithm is not entirely dependent on the extracted feature points, edges and symmetric information. Our algorithm mainly includes following steps: First, we combine the clustering method with the repetitive characteristic curve to derive templates and to detect repetitive elements matched with derived templates. Moreover, a global repetition-based optimization framework is proposed to derive occluded repetitive elements and determine the number of all the repetitive elements with the accurate locations, shapes and sizes. Experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm improves the accuracy, robustness and efficiency on facade databases compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

Many of the Internet applications such as video conferencing, military image databases, personal online photograph albums and cable television require a fast and efficient way of encrypting images for storage and transmission. In this paper, discrete logarithms are used for generation of random keys and Number Theoretic Transform (NTT) is used as a transformation technique prior to encryption. The implementation of NTT is simple as it uses arithmetic for real sequences. Encryption and decryption involves the simple and reversible XOR operation of image pixels with the random keys based on discrete logarithms generated independently at the transmitter and receiver. Experimental results with the standard bench mark test images proposed in the USC-SIPI data base confirm the enhanced key sensitivity and strong resistivity of the algorithm against brute force attack and statistical crypt analysis. The computational complexity of the algorithm in terms of number of operations and number of rounds is very small in comparison with the other image encryption algorithms. The randomness of the keys generated has been tested and is found in accordance with the statistical test suite for security requirements of cryptographic modules as recommended by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

In this paper we consider a problem of public transport arrival time prediction for a large city in real time. We propose a new prediction algorithm based on a model of an adaptive combination of elementary prediction algorithms, each of which is characterized by a small number of adjustable parameters. Adaptability means that parameters of the constructed combination depend on a number of control parameters of the model, which includes the following factors: weather conditions, traffic density, driving dynamics, prediction horizon, and others. Adaptability is achieved by the use of a hierarchical regression (similar to a regression tree). The proposed arrival prediction algorithm has been tested with the data of all the public transport routes in Samara, Russia.

Corner detection is a important task in low level vision. Detecting corners helps one to establish similarity between two or more images. Traditional approaches for corner detection involve finding significant variation around a pixel neighbourhood in two different directions. In this work, we have developed a novel framework to detect corners in a given image by learning corners from images corresponding to the same object category. We detect extrema of the intensity and second derivative neighbourhood around a given pixel location to identify possible corners. We build a decision tree using the learned parameters and also employ the intensity variation in the local neighbourhood in order to detect corners accurately. We show that the performance of the proposed approach compares well with the standard corner detection algorithms and the other learning based approach for corner detection.

Big data is emerging in all the fields of science. Scope of data analysis is not limited to the analysis of archival data, rather is it more concerned towards giving better decisions on the bases of visualization of analytic reports. Traditional systems are only dealing with 2 v's of big data, i.e. volume and variety. In order to make decisions more fast 3rd v i.e. velocity of data is more effective and convenient characteristic for analysis. Big data analytics is helping businesses with millions of customers to identify customer needs by bringing unstructured data into the arena. Data Analytics techniques can help organizations make sense of the data gain competitive advantage. This paper gives a method of improving speed of decision making by analyzing real time streams for effective Business Intelligence with traditional system and to give fast results for improvised decision making.

Medical image segmentation is a fundamental preprocessing step in most systems that supports diagnosis or planning of surgical operations. The traditional Fuzzy c means clustering algorithm performs well in the absence of noise. Traditional FCM leads to its non robust result mainly due to 1. Not utilizing the spatial information in the image. 2. Use of Euclidean distance. These limitations can be addressed by using robust spatial kernel FCM (RSKFCM). RSKFCM consider the spatial information and uses Gaussian kernel function to calculate the distance between the center and data points. Though RSKFCM gives good result, the main drawback behind this method is the inability of generating global minima for the objective function. To improve the efficiency of RSKFCM method, in this paper we proposed the genetic algorithm based RSKFCM. By using the genetic algorithm, RSKFCM initializes the cluster centers and reaches the global minima of the objective function. Experimentation is carried out on the standard brain image dataset. Experimental result reveals that the proposed genetic algorithm based RSKFCM outperforms other FCM methods with the use of various cluster validity functions.
