In this paper the application for generation of HDR image based on two consecutive images (underexposed and overexposed) for Android mobile operating system is presented. The implemented software preserves a lot of image details and maintains a low execution time. These features are particularly important for pictures taken using mobile devices in emergency situations. Such photos may constitute evidence that a threat occurred, was properly recognized, or someone committed a crime. HDR images can be also used in mobile systems for supporting pedestrians or drivers. Obtained results indicate on a high effectiveness of the presented solution.

Plant phenotyping is central to understand causal effects of genotypes and environments on trait expression and is a critical factor in expediting plant breeding. Previously, plant phenotypic traits were quantified using invasive, time-consuming, labor-intensive, cost-inefficient, and often destructive manual sampling methods that were also prone to observer error. In recent years, photogrammetry and imageprocessing techniques have been introduced to plant phenotyping, but cost efficiency issues remain when combining these two techniques within large-scale plant phenotyping studies. Using these high throughput techniques in basic plant biology research and agriculture are still in the developmental stages but show great promise for rapid phenotyping, which will materially aid both science and crop improvement efforts. In this study, we introduce an automated high-throughput phenotyping pipeline using affordable imaging systems and imageprocessingalgorithms to build 2D mosaicked orthophotos. Chamber-based and ground-level field implementations are used to measure phenotypic traits such as leaf length and rosette area in 2D images. Our automated pipeline has cross-platform capabilities and a degree of instrument independence, making it suitable for various situations. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The variational optical flow method is considered to be the standard method to calculate an accurate dense motion field between successive frames. It assumes that the energy function has spatiotemporal continuities and appearance motions are small. However, for real image sequences, the temporal continuity assumption is often violated due to outliers and occlusions, causing inaccurate flow vectors at these regions. After each warping operation, errors are generated at the corresponding regions of the warped interpolation image. This results in an inaccurate discrete approximation of the temporal derivative and thus ends up affecting the accuracy of the estimated flow field. In this paper, we propose an adaptive guided image filter to correct these errors in the warped interpolation image. A guidance image is reconstructed by considering both the feature of the reference image as well as the difference between the warped interpolation image and the reference image, to guide the filtering of the warped interpolation image. To adjust the smoothing degree, the regularization parameter in the guided image filter is adaptively selected based on a confidence measure. Extensive experiments on different datasets and comparison with state-of-the-art variational optical flow algorithms demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Near duplicate image detection needs the matching of a bit altered images to the original image. This will help in the detection of forged images. A great deal of effort has been dedicated to visual applications that need efficient image similarity metrics and signature. Digital images can be easily edited and manipulated owing to the great functionality of imageprocessing software. This leads to the challenge of matching somewhat altered images to their originals, which is termed as near duplicate image detection. This paper discusses the literature reviewed on the development of several image matching algorithms. This paper encompasses 2 sections. Section 1 is the introduction. Section 2 discusses the literature reviewed on the development of image matching algorithms.

systems and methods are disclosed for creating a machine generated avatar. A machine generated avatar is an avatar generated by processing video and audio information extracted from a recording of a human speaking a reading corpora and enabling the created avatar to be able to say an unlimited number of utterances, i.e., utterances that were not recorded. The video and audio processing consists of the use of machine learning algorithms that may create predictive models based upon pixel, semantic, phonetic, intonation, and wavelets.

Dental X-ray image segmentation (DXIS) is an indispensable process in practical dentistry for diagnosis of. periodontitis diseases from an X-ray image. It has been said that DXIS is one of the most important and necessary steps to analyze dental images in order to get valuable information for medical diagnosis support systems and other recognition tools. Specialized data mining methods for DXIS have been investigated to achieve high accuracy of segmentation. However, traditional imageprocessing and clustering algorithms often meet challenges in determining parameters or common boundaries of teeth samples. It was shown that performance of a clustering algorithm is enhanced when additional information provided by users is attached to inputs of the algorithm. In this paper, we propose a new cooperative scheme that applies semi-supervised fuzzy clustering algorithms to DXIS. Specifically, the Otsu method is used to remove the Background area from an X-ray dental image. Then, the FCM algorithm is chosen to remove the Dental Structure area from the results of the previous steps. Finally, Semi-supervised Entropy regularized Fuzzy Clustering algorithm (eSFCM) is opted to clarify and improve the results based on the optimal result from the previous clustering method. The proposed framework is evaluated on a real collection of dental X-ray image datasets from Hanoi Medical University, Vietnam. Experimental results have revealed that clustering quality of the cooperative framework is better than those of the relevant ones. The findings of this paper have great impact and significance to researches in the fields of medical science and expert systems. It has been the fact that medical diagnosis is often an experienced and case-based process which requests long time practicing in real patients. In many situations, young clinicians do not have chance for such the practice so that it is necessary to utilize a computerized medical diagnosis system which could simulate medical proce

This paper presents a survey of blob detection methods which has been applied on imageprocessing with relation of medical images proposed by literature. "The blob detection is a mathematical method which detects regions or points in digital images". [1] The regions or points which have noticeable difference with their surroundings is called blob. Given the increased interest in biomedical imageprocessing system, many algorithms and methods have been reported to apply but there is no systematic survey and classification of the blob detection for medical images and how they have been assessed and applied. The findings, which is the most usable methods of blob detectors in biomedical imageprocessing has been presented. It was also investigated how these studies have been surveyed, how they evolved in the main digital libraries over the last decade, and what points deserves further attention, through new research. From this survey, practitioners and researchers can adopt the blob detection methods and analyze to use these methods in their research for further development.

This paper analyzes an image noise model of additive positive and negative impulses that often appear in practical applications. Based on the characteristic that any pixel in an undisturbed image is similar to its neighbors, a local pixel correlation coefficient is proposed. For a pixel, based on the number of similar pixels in its neighborhood, the probability of whether it is noisy or normal can be accurately calculated. An adaptive masking weighted mean filter with consideration of contextual information is proposed to filter noise while retaining the edge details of the image. The proposed algorithm does not require any initial parameters or threshold values to be set. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is applicable to the proposed noise model and that the proposed noise filtering is significantly better than that of existing algorithms.

Land cover classification is often based on different characteristics between their classes, but with great homogeneity within each one of them. This cover is obtained through field work or by mean of processing satellite images. Field work involves high costs;therefore, digital imageprocessing techniques have become an important alternative to perform this task. However, in some developing countries and particularly in Casacoima municipality in Venezuela, there is a lack of geographic information systems due to the lack of updated information and high costs in software license acquisition. This research proposes a low cost methodology to develop thematic mapping of local land use and types of coverage in areas with scarce resources. Thematic mapping was developed from CBERS-2 images and spatial information available on the network using open source tools. The supervised classification method per pixel and per region was applied using different classification algorithms and comparing them among themselves. Classification method per pixel was based on Maxver algorithms (maximum likelihood) and Euclidean distance (minimum distance), while per region classification was based on the Bhattacharya algorithm. Satisfactory results were obtained from per region classification, where overall reliability of 83.93% and kappa index of 0.81% were observed. Maxver algorithm showed a reliability value of 73.36% and kappa index 0.69%, while Euclidean distance obtained values of 67.17% and 0.61% for reliability and kappa index, respectively. It was demonstrated that the proposed methodology was very useful in cartographic processing and updating, which in turn serve as a support to develop management plans and land management. Hence, open source tools showed to be an economically viable alternative not only for forestry organizations, but for the general public, allowing them to develop projects in economically depressed and/or environmentally threatened areas.

We investigate the detection performance of transverse and longitudinal planes for various signal sizes (i.e., 1 mm to 8 mm diameter spheres) in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. CBCT images are generated by computer simulation and images are reconstructed using an FDK algorithm. For each slice direction and signal size, a human observer study is conducted with a signal-known-exactly/background-known-exactly (SKE/BKE) binary detection task. The detection performance of human observers is compared with that of a channelized Hotelling observer (CHO). The detection performance of an ideal linear observer is also calculated using a CHO with Laguerre-Gauss (LG) channels. The detectability of high contrast small signals (i.e., up to 4-mm-diameter spheres) is higher in the longitudinal plane than the transverse plane. It is also shown that CHO performance correlates well with human observer performance in both transverse and longitudinal plane images. (C) 2016 Optical Society of America
