Low-rank (LR) representation and the nonlocal model (NLM) are important techniques in the field of image restoration, offering significant improvements over many current recovery algorithms. Natural images contain global and local redundancy, and this can be utilized to enhance the restoration performance. Thus, we propose a novel optimization framework that incorporates the benefits of LR and NLM. First, NLM is employed to search for similar patches to reduce the global redundancy. An LR model is then exploited as the prior knowledge needed to constrain the low-rank property of the searched patches. We also use a 3D sparse model to constrain the local sparsity of these patches, thus preserving their underlying structure more effectively. To solve the minimization problem within our novel framework, we describe an iterative scenario that uses an alternating optimization method based on the improved split Bregman technique. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms several state-of-the-art algorithms.

In recent years, image encryption has attracted much attention. Particularly, due to large data capacity and high correlation among pixels, chaos-based image encryption algorithms are more suitable to be applied in the digital image encryption. In this paper, we propose a novel chaotic image encryption algorithm, in which novel multiple chaotic systems and efficient self-adaptive model are initially mingled to enhance the security. Different from conventional algorithms, plaintext participates in the generation of cryptograph in a new way, which follows the idea from the perceptron model. The proposed algorithm enlarges the key space, enhances the randomness of the algorithm, and resists the differential attack effectively. Simulation results are demonstrated that proposed algorithm possesses the high security for the main current attacks, which is an excellent candidate for practical applications of image encryption.

Collaborative wildlife monitoring and tracking at large scales will help us understand the complex dynamics of wildlife systems, evaluate the impact of human actions and environmental changes on wildlife species, and answer many important ecological and evolutionary research questions. To support collaborative wildlife monitoring and research, we need to develop integrated camera-sensor networking systems, deploy them at large scales, and develop advanced computational and informatics tools to analyze and manage the massive wildlife monitoring data. In this paper, we will cover various aspects of the design of such systems, including (1) long-lived integrated camera-sensor system design, (2) imageprocessing and computer vision algorithms for animal detection, segmentation, tracking, species classification, and biometric feature extraction, (3) cloud-based data management, (4) crowd-sourcing based image annotation with citizen scientists, and (5) applications to wildlife and ecological research.

Mammogram images are now increasingly acquired with full-field digital mammography (FFDM) systems in the clinics. Traditionally, the "for-processing" format of FFDM images is used in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) of breast cancer. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of using "for-presentation" format of FFDM (which are more readily available) in development of CAD algorithms for microcalcification (MC) lesions. We conduct a quantitative evaluation of both the image features and the detectability of individual MCs on a set of 188 mammograms acquired in both formats. The results demonstrate that there is a high degree of agreement in the image features between the two image formats, and that a slight increase in false-positives in MC detection is observed in for-presentation images.

The main goal of works described in the paper is to test and select algorithms to be implemented in the 'SM4Public' security system for public spaces. The paper describes the use of cascading approaches in the scenario concerning the detection of vehicles in static images. Three feature extractors were used along with benchmark datasets in order to prepare eight various cascades of classifiers. The algorithms selected for feature extraction are Histogram of Oriented Gradients, Local Binary Patterns and Haar-like features. AdaBoost was used as a classifier. The paper briefly introduces the 'SM4Public' system characteristics, characterizes the employed algorithms and presents sample experimental results.

Remote sensing images play an important role in many practical applications, however, due to the physical limitations of remote sensing devices, it is difficult to obtain images at an expecting high resolution level. Acquiring high-resolution(HR) images from the original low-resolution(LR) ones with super-resolution(SR) methods has always been an attractive proposition in embedded systems including various kinds of tablet PC and smart phone. SR methods based on sparse representation have been successfully used in processing remote sensing images, however, they have two major problems in common. First, they use only one type of image features to represent the low resolution(LR) images. However, one single type of features cannot accurately represent an image due to the diverse structures of the image, as a result, artifacts would be produced simultaneously. Second, many dictionary learning methods try to build a universal dictionary with only one single type of features. However, apparently, a dictionary with a single type of features is not enough to capture the different structures of a remote sensing image, without any doubt, the resultant image would turn out to be a poor one. To overcome the problems above, we propose a new framework for remote sensing image super resolution: sparse representation-based SR method by processing dictionaries with multi-type features. First, in order to represent the remote sensing image more accurately, different types of features are extracted from images. Second, to achieve a better performance, various dictionaries with multi-type features are learned to capture the essential structures of the image. Then, it's proposed to adaptively control the weights of the high resolution(HR) patches obtained by different dictionaries. Numerous experiments validate that this proposed framework brings better results in terms of both objective quantitation and visual perception than other compared algorithms. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

The paper presents the design of a real-time and low-cost embedded system for image acquisition and processing in Advanced Driver Assisted systems (ADAS). The system adopts a multi-camera architecture to provide a panoramic view of the objects surrounding the vehicle. Fish-eye lenses are used to achieve a large Field of View (FOV). Since they introduce radial distortion of the images projected on the sensors, a real-time algorithm for their correction is also implemented in a pre-processor. An FPGA-based hardware implementation, re-using IP macrocells for several ADAS algorithms, allows for real-time processing of input streams from VGA automotive CMOS cameras.
