We present GRAPHIC, a new angular differential imaging reduction pipeline where all geometric image operations are based on Fourier transforms. To achieve this goal the entire pipeline is parallelized making it possible to reduce large amounts of observation data without the need to bin the data. The specific rotation and shift algorithms based on Fourier transforms are described and performance comparison with conventional interpolation algorithm is given. Tests using fake companions injected in real science frames demonstrate the significant gain obtained by using geometric operations based on Fourier transforms compared to conventional interpolation. This also translates in a better point spread function and speckle subtraction with respect to conventional reduction pipelines, achieving detection limits comparable to current best performing pipelines. Flux conservation of the companions is also demonstrated. This pipeline is currently able to reduce science data produced by Very Large Telescope (VLT)/NACO, Gemini/NICI, VLT/SPHERE, and Subaru/SCExAO.

Global warming induced drastic climate changes have increased the frequency of natural disasters such as flooding, worldwide. Flooding is a constant threat to humanity and reliable systems for flood monitoring and analysis need to be developed. Flood hazard assessment needs to take into account physical characteristics such as flood depth, flow velocity and the duration of flooding. This paper provides the researchers with a detailed compilation of the methods that can be used for the estimation of flood water depth. A comparative study has been done between the water depth estimation techniques based on imageprocessing and those which does not involve imageprocessing. The comparison is based on various attributes such as implementation methods, advantages, accuracy and cost. imageprocessing methods are classified based on various algorithms such as character recognition, feature extraction, region of interest (ROI), FIR filter etc. Similarly, non-imageprocessing methods are classified based on hardware used such as sensors, level indicators, etc., and other signal based techniques. This study can be used to identify the best method for flood water depth estimation.

Blur exists in many digital images, it can be mainly categorized into two classes: defocus blur which is caused by optical imaging systems and motion blur which is caused by the relative motion between camera and scene objects. In this letter, we propose a simple yet effective automatic blurred image region detection method. Based on the observation that blur attenuates high-frequency components of an image, we present a blur metric based on the log averaged spectrum residual to get a coarse blur map. Then, a novel iterative updating mechanism is proposed to refine the blur map from coarse to fine by exploiting the intrinsic relevance of similar neighbor image regions. The proposed iterative updating mechanism can partially resolve the problem of differentiating an in-focus smooth region and a blurred smooth region. In addition, our iterative updating mechanism can be integrated into other image blurred region detection algorithms to refine the final results. Both quantitative and qualitative experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method is more reliable and efficient compared to various state-of-the-art methods.

Automatic Vehicle License Plate Detection System (AVLPDS) is the extraction of vehicle license plate information from an image. Besides the safety aspects this system is used in many applications, viz. electronic payment systems, freeway, arterial monitoring systems for traffic surveillance etc. The purpose of this paper is to present the FPGA algorithmic model of most efficient algorithm among three algorithms: Edge-based, Connected-Component based and Histogram based. Each approach is analyzed on the basis of precision and recall rates to determine the success of each approach. After comparison, we can say Histogram based approach has an advantage of being simple and thus faster. Therefore, in this paper, we have used Histogram based Edge processing approach to detect the license plate and presented the FPGA implementation of AVLPDS for the same. The whole system is implemented using MATLAB Simulink and Xilinx System Generator(XSG). Use of XSG for imageprocessing effectively reduces the complexity in structural design and contributes for hardware co-simulation. The accuracy of the algorithm is checked for different sets of input images and significant performance improvement has been found, thereby performing an optimal FPGA-based hardware implementation of AVLPDS.

An unprecedented growth in data generation is taking place. Data about larger dynamic systems is being accumulated, capturing finer granularity events, and thus processing requirements are increasingly approaching real-time. To keep up, data-analytics pipelines need to be viable at massive scale, and switch away from static, offline scenarios to support fully online analysis of dynamic systems. This paper uses a challenge problem, graph colouring, to explore massive-scale analytics for dynamic graph processing. We present an event-based infrastructure, and a novel, online, distributed graph colouring algorithm. Our implementation for colouring static graphs, used as a performance baseline, is up to an order of magnitude faster than previous results and handles massive graphs with over 257 billion edges. Our framework supports dynamic graph colouring with performance at large scale better than GraphLab's static analysis. Our experience indicates that online solutions are feasible, and can be more efficient than those based on snapshotting.

Feature of modern infocommunication systems is expeditious exchange of information that makes a problem of ensuring quality and reliability of the obtained information actual. For elimination or minimization of the destabilizing impact of noise and hindrances in such systems various methods and algorithms of preliminary information processing are widely used, in particular, procedures of digital filtration of signals and images. Procedure of creation of the nonlinear SVD filter with adaptation to local properties of an observed signal is stated. Comparative examples of filtration of hindrances in a problem of processing of images are given, efficiency of the offered method is shown. The lines of further researches are defined.

In recent years, development of the computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems for the purpose of reducing the false positive on visual screening and improving accuracy of lesion detection has been advanced. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Among them, GGO (Ground Glass Opacity) that exhibited early in the before cancer lesion and carcinoma in situ shows a pale concentration, have been concerned about the possibility of undetected on the screening. In this paper, we propose an automatic extraction method of GGO candidate regions from the chest CT image. Our proposed imageprocessingalgorithms is consist of four main steps;1) segmentation of volume of interest from the chest CT image and removing the blood vessel regions, bronchus regions based on 3D line filter, 2) first detection of GGO regions based on density and gradient which is selected the initial GGO candidate regions, 3) identification of the final GGO candidate regions based on DCNN (Deep Convolutional Neural Network) algorithms. Finally, we calculates the statistical features for reducing the false-positive (FP) shadow by the rule-based method, performs identification of the final GGO candidate regions by SVM (Support Vector Machine). Our proposed method performed on to the 31 cases of the LIDC (Lung image Database Consortium) database, and final identification performance of TP: 93.02[%], FP: 128.52[/case] are obtained respectively.
