The Mojette transform has found several applications to this date. Some of them, such as systems for distributed file storage, or digital tomography systems exploit one of the main properties of Mojette transform - redundancy. However, sometimes this feature is not desirable. This is a case of applying Mojette transform for image encoding, or decoding. In these applications, higher rate of redundancy can cause longer processing times and bigger size of image data. These problems can be solved by group of procedures, which would work in a determined manner. In this article, we tried to propose a set of algorithms, which would reduce the drawbacks of Mojette transform, but exploit its advantages in the field of image coding.

This paper proposes an image-processing algorithm for register marker detection in a roll-to-roll (R2R) system. Recently, R2R systems have been receiving considerable international attention from researchers because of their ability to print electronic devices on flexible substrates. During such printing, an R2R system must adjust its printing position by continuously checking the positions of the markers in order to ensure correct positioning of the printing roll. By acquiring the differences in the position information between referenced and printed marker positions, an R2R system can control the printing position by adjusting the printing roll speed. To capture and analyze referenced and printed marker images, an R2R system uses charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras and their image-processingalgorithms. Therefore, it can be said that the productivity and accuracy of an R2R system depends entirely on the quality of the CCD cameras and their image-processingalgorithms. This study develops an image-processing algorithm in which different markers are detected and processed.

What is the story of an image? What is the relationship between pictures, language, and information we can extract using state of the art computational recognition systems? In an attempt to address both of these questions, we explore methods for retrieving and generating natural language descriptions for images. Ideally, we would like our generated textual descriptions (captions) to both sound like a person wrote them, and also remain true to the image content. To do this we develop data-driven approaches for image description generation, using retrieval-based techniques to gather either: (a) whole captions associated with a visually similar image, or (b) relevant bits of text (phrases) from a large collection of image + description pairs. In the case of (b), we develop optimization algorithms to merge the retrieved phrases into valid natural language sentences. The end result is two simple, but effective, methods for harnessing the power of big data to produce image captions that are altogether more general, relevant, and human-like than previous attempts.

Polarimetric inverse synthetic aperture radar (pol-ISAR) imaging exploits extra scattering information about a target compared with single pol-ISAR. Target description and classification can be improved by incorporating pol-ISAR images. One of the most critical problems in ISAR imaging is accurate motion compensation, specifically for noncooperative targets. Due to the imperfection of coarse motion compensation, phase-adjustment methods are further developed to eliminate the residual phase errors. Unlike taking the contrast or entropy as the measurements in the existing pol-ISAR phase-adjustment algorithms, this paper exploits the sparsity of the scattering centers to correct the phase errors and simultaneously proposes an unambiguous image formation with the sparse aperture signal. The superiority of this algorithm is that the global information of full pol-ISAR images can be properly incorporated to compensate the phase errors and suppress the noise effectively. Experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

We initiate a systematic study of tolerant testers of image properties or, equivalently, algorithms that approximate the distance from a given image to the desired property (that is, the smallest fraction of pixels that need to change in the image to ensure that the image satisfies the desired property). imageprocessing is a particularly compelling area of applications for sublinear-time algorithms and, specifically, property testing. However, for testing algorithms to reach their full potential in imageprocessing, they have to be tolerant, which allows them to be resilient to noise. Prior to this work, only one tolerant testing algorithm for an image property (image partitioning) has been published. We design efficient approximation algorithms for the following fundamental questions: What fraction of pixels have to be changed in an image so that it becomes a half-plane? a representation of a convex object? a representation of a connected object? More precisely, our algorithms approximate the distance to three basic properties (being a half-plane, convexity, and connectedness) within a small additive error ϵ, after reading a number of pixels polynomial in 1/- and independent of the size of the image. The running time of the testers for half-plane and convexity is also polynomial in 1/ϵ. Tolerant testers for these three properties were not investigated previously. For convexity and connectedness, even the existence of distance approximation algorithms with query complexity independent of the input size is not implied by previous work. (It does not follow from the VC-dimension bounds, since VC dimension of convexity and connectedness, even in two dimensions, depends on the input size. It also does not follow from the existence of non-tolerant testers.) Our algorithms require very simple access to the input: uniform random samples for the half-plane property and convexity, and samples from uniformly random blocks for connectedness. However, the analysis of the algori

Colour constancy is the ability to measure the colour of objects independent of the light source, while colour casting is the presence of unwanted colour in digital images. Colour casting significantly affects the performance of imageprocessingalgorithms such as image segmentation and object recognition. The presence of large uniform background within the image considerably deteriorates the performance of many state of the art colour constancy algorithms. This paper presents a colour constancy method using the sub-blocks of the image to alleviate the effect of large uniform colour area of the scene. The proposed method divides the input image into a number of nonoverlapping blocks, and Average Absolute Difference (AAD) value of each block colour component is calculated. The blocks with AAD greater than threshold values, which are empirically determined for each colour component, are considered to have sufficient colour information. The selected blocks are then used to determine the scaling factors to achieve achromatic values for the input image colour components. Comparing the performance of the proposed technique with the state of the art methods using images from three datasets shows that the proposed method outperforms the state of the art techniques in the presence of large uniform colour patches.

This work explores the subject of thermal imagery in the context of face recognition. Its aim is to create a database of facial images taken in both thermal and visual domains. To achieve this, a specialized photographic stand was designed, which allows simultaneous capture of images from IR thermal camera and SLR digital camera. To ensure precision, stability and fluency of photographic sessions, a Matlab application has been developed, through which it is possible to remotely control both devices, as well as automatically download captured images onto a hard drive and save them within an organized folder structure. Additionally, several image fusion techniques have been implemented in order to effectively combine visual and thermal data for use in face recognition algorithms.

The static image and video information compression algorithms development over the last 15-20 years, as well as standardized and non-standardized formats for data storage and transmission have been analyzed;the main factors affecting the further development of approaches that eliminate the redundancy of transmitted and stored visual information have been studied. The conclusion on the current prospects for the development of image compression technologies has been made. New approaches that use new low-level quasi-orthogonal matrices as transform operators have been defined. The advantages of such approaches opening new fundamentally different opportunities in the field of applied processing of digital visual information have been identified and presented.

There are numerous cells nuclei analysis algorithms. The lacunarity is the texture analysis algorithm and could be applied for binary or grayscale images of cells nuclei. The cells in Papanicolaou process are stained so numerous conversions to grayscale or binary images are possible. The optimization of RGB color space using weights is proposed for polynomial based analysis using lacunarity and the cell area of binary image. Obtained results show significant differences for best and worst cases for the number of cells of atypical and correct classes with similar cells area.
