Additive noise removal from a given image is an important task in digital imageprocessing for which denoising algorithms are used. The goal of any denoising algorithm is to attenuate the noise properly and to preserve the useful content of an image. Although various denoising algorithms have been proposed to remove noise but there is still scope of improvement. The main focus of this paper is, first, analyze the basic denoising approaches and to compare them, second, to study post-stage filtering technique using method noise and reweight schemes. In this case study, we observe through our experiments that the post-filtering techniques have more potential to attenuate the noise properly, which is left by the initially applied denoising approach. The denoising performance of all considered methods is compared using two parameters: PSNR and MSSIM.

Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer which is responsible for the majority of skin cancer related deaths. imageprocessing and analysis of melanoma images can result in (better) detection and early diagnosis and therefore reducing the mortality rate. Efficient pre-processing, image enhancement, segmentation, feature extraction and classification techniques have been developed to improve the performance of Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) of melanoma images. Border detection of lesions in melanoma images is important in improving the accuracy of CAD systems in detecting melanoma. We have developed a semi-automated algorithm to discriminate the foreground lesion from skin background by clicking on a small subset of the lesion. Implementing the imageprocessing and analysis algorithms for CAD and decision support systems is computationally demanding. However, due to high inherent parallelism of such algorithms, systems with parallel processors could be useful for accelerating but they are energy intensive and costly. Special reconfigurable hardware such as Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) with powerful parallel processing feature can be used for achieving necessary performance of embedded systems with efficient utilization of hardware resources. In order to achieve acceleration of the imageprocessing and analysis algorithms, we implement the most compute-intensive algorithms of the CAD and decision support systems onto FPGA for deploying as an embedded device. A hardware/software co-design approach was proposed for implementing Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier for classifying melanoma images online. The hybrid Zynq platform was used for implementing the proposed classifier using High Level Synthesis design methodology. The implemented SVM classification system on Zynq demonstrated high performance with low resource utilization and power consumption, meeting several embedded systems constraints. Overall, the hardware implementation on FPGA cou

Time-of-flight (ToF) sensors offer a cost-effective and realtime solution to the problem of three-dimensional (3-D) imaging-a theme that has revolutionized our sceneunderstanding capabilities and is a topic of contemporary interest across many areas of science and engineering. The goal of this tutorial-style article is to provide a thorough understanding of ToF imaging systems from a signal processing perspective that is useful to all application areas. Starting with a brief history of the ToF principle, we describe the mathematical basics of the ToF image-formation process, for both time- and frequency-domain, present an overview of important results within the topic, and discuss contemporary challenges where this emerging area can benefit from the signal processing community. In particular, we examine case studies where inverse problems in ToF imaging are coupled with signal processing theory and methods, such as sampling theory, system identification, and spectral estimation, among others. Through this exposition, we hope to establish that ToF sensors are more than just depth sensors; depth information may be used to encode other forms of physical parameters, such as, the fluorescence lifetime of a biosample or the diffusion coefficient of turbid/scattering medium. The MATLAB scripts and ToF sensor data used for reproducing figures in this article are available via the author?s webpage: http://***/~ayush/Code.

image thresholding is a process for separating interesting objects within an image from their background. An optimal threshold's selection can be regarded as a single objective optimization problem, where obtaining a solution can be computationally expensive and time-consuming, especially when the number of thresholds increases greatly. This paper proposes a novel hybrid differential evolution algorithm for selecting the optimal threshold values for a given gray-level input image, using the criterion defined by Otsu. The hybridization is done by adding a reset strategy, adopted from the Cuckoo Search, within the evolutionary loop of differential evolution. Additionally a study of different evolutionary or swarm-based intelligence algorithms for the purpose of thresholding, with a higher number of thresholds was performed, since many real-world applications require more than just a few thresholds for further processing. Experiments were performed on eleven real world images. The efficiency of the hybrid was compared to the cuckoo search and self-adaptive differential evolution, the original differential evolution, particle swarm optimization, and artificial bee colony where the results showed the superiority of the hybrid in terms of better segmentation results with the increased number of thresholds. Since the proposed method needs only two parameters adjusted, it is by far a better choice for real-life applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Reading text from natural images is much more difficult than from scanned text documents since the text may appear in all colors, different sizes and types, often with distorted geometry or textures applied. The paper presents the idea of high-speed image preprocessingalgorithms utilizing the quasi-local histogram based methods such as binarization, ROI filtering, line and corners detection, etc. which can be helpful for this task. Their low computational cost is provided by a reduction of the amount of processed information carried out by means of a simple random sampling. The approach presented in the paper allows to minimize some problems with the implementation of the OCR algorithms operating on natural images on devices with low computing power (e.g. mobile or embedded). Due to relatively small computational effort it is possible to test multiple hypotheses e.g. related to the possible location of the text in the image. Their verification can be based on the analysis of images in various color spaces. An additional advantage of the discussed algorithms is their construction allowing an efficient parallel implementation further reducing the computation time.

This work proposes a textual and graphical domain-specific language (DSL) designed especially for modeling and writing data and imageprocessingalgorithms. Since reusing algorithms and other functionality leads to higher program quality and mostly shorter development time, this approach introduces a novel component-based language design. Special diagrams and structures, such as components, component-diagrams and component-instance-diagrams are introduced. The new language constructs allow an abstract and object-oriented description of data and imageprocessing tasks. Additionally, a compatible graphical design interface is proposed, giving modelers and architects the opportunity to decide which kind of modeling they prefer (graphical or textual, including round-trip engineering).

Quaternions have offered a new paradigm to the signal processing community: to operate directly in a multidimensional domain. We have recently introduced the quaternionic approach to the design and implementation of paraunitary filter banks: four- and eight-channel linear-phase paraunitary filter banks, including those with pairwise-mirror-image symmetric frequency responses. The hypercomplex number theory is utilized to derive novel lattice structures in which quaternion multipliers replace Givens (planar) rotations. Unlike the conventional algorithms, the proposed computational schemes maintain losslessness regardless of their coefficient quantization. Moreover, the one regularity conditions can be expressed directly in terms of the quaternion lattice coefficients and thus easily satisfied even in finite-precision arithmetic. In this paper, a novel approach to realizing CORDIC-lifting factorization of paraunitary filter banks is presented, which is based on the embedding of the CORDIC algorithm inside the lifting scheme. Lifting allows for making multiplications invertible. The 2D CORDIC engine using sparse iterations and asynchronous pipeline processor architecture based on the embedded CORDIC engine as stage of processor is reported. Also it is necessary to notice, that the quaternion multiplier lifting scheme based on the 2D CORDIC algorithm is the structural decision for the lossless digital signal processing. This approach applies to very practical filter banks, which are essential for imageprocessing, and addresses interesting theoretical questions.
