In this paper, we present a new method for quantifying color information so as to detect edges in color images. Our method uses the volume of a pixel in the HSI color space, allied with noise reduction, thresholding and edge thinning. We implement our algorithm using NVIDIA Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) for direct execution on Graphics processing Units (GPUs). Our experimental results show that: compared to traditional edge detection methods, our method can improve the accuracy of edge detection and withstand greater levels of noise in images;and our GPU implementation achieves speedups over related CUDA implementations.

Mammogram breast cancer images have the ability to assist physician in detection of disease caused by cells normal growth. Developing algorithms and software to analyse these images may also assist physicians in their daily work. Micro calcifications are tiny calcium deposits in breast tissues. They appear as small bright spots on mammograms. Since micro calcifications are small and subtle abnormalities, they may he overlooked by an examining radiologist. image Enhancement and Filtering is always the root process in many medical imageprocessing applications. It is aimed at reducing noise in images. In this paper we have made comparison between several novel and hybrid enhancement techniques. The comparison is based on the basis of performance evaluation parameters (statistical parameter) such as PSNR, and CNR. These can be used for identifying breast nodule malignancy to provide better chance of a proper treatment. These methods are tested on digital mammograms present in mini-MIAS database.
The main aim of this work is to show, how the GPGPUs can be used to speed up certain imageprocessingmethods. The algorithm explained in this paper is used to detect nuclei on (HE hematoxilin eosin) stained colon tis...

Compared with the traditional lumped hydrological models, distributed hydrological model, considering the effects of the uneven spatial distribution of watershed land surface on the hydrological cycle, has the characteristic of physical mechanism. Seeing from overall structure, there are two types of distributed hydrological model, which are runoff and convergence. The establishment of convergence network is on the basis of calculating reservoir routing convergence, at present, converged networks are constructed on the grounds of DEM, the resolution of DEM directly affects the result of convergence network construction, for now, due to confidentiality rules, it is very difficult to obtain high-resolution DEM. With the development of GIS and RS, it is more convenient to acquire data from distributed hydrological model, which has been developing rapidly. SRTM is completed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National image Mapping Agency (NIMA) and the German and Italian space agencies. The current publicly available data resolution is 3 arc seconds (1 / 1200 of longitude and latitude), and its length is equivalent to 90 meters. The publication of this data set is an important breakthrough in geographical science and application, which has important application value. However, because of the limitations on using radar technology to obtain surface elevation data, there are many problems in the original SRTM DEM data, such as missing more regional data, existing many abnormal points, and so on. This article, which takes Xue Ye reservoir area as example, studies the methods of processing SRTM data and obtained high-resolution DEM data of the region.

The edge-directed interpolation scheme is a non-iterative, orientation-adaptive method to enhance image resolution with better visual effect than conventional interpolation methods. It interpolates the missing pixels based on the covariance of a high-resolution image estimated from the covariance of the low-resolution image. In spite of the impressive performance, the computational complexity of covariance-based adaptation is significantly higher than that of the conventional linear interpolation algorithms. In this paper, we propose a GPU-based massively parallel version of the edge-directed interpolation scheme. A speedup of 61.7x can be achieved with respect to its single-threaded CPU counterpart in the host computer.

Stencil calculations comprise an important class of kernels in many scientific computing applications ranging from simple PDE solvers to constituent kernels in multigrid methods as well as imageprocessing applications. In such types of solvers, stencil kernels are often the dominant part of the computation, and an efficient parallel implementation of the kernel is therefore crucial in order to reduce the time to solution. However, in the current complex hardware micro architectures, meticulous architecture-specific tuning is required to elicit the machine's full compute power. We present a code generation and auto-tuning framework \textsc{Patus} for stencil computations targeted at multi- and many core processors, such as multicore CPUs and graphics processing units, which makes it possible to generate compute kernels from a specification of the stencil operation and a parallelization and optimization strategy, and leverages the auto tuning methodology to optimize strategy-dependent parameters for the given hardware architecture.

During the present decade, emerging architectures like multicore CPUs and graphics processing units (GPUs) have steadily gained popularity for their ability to deploy high computational power at a low cost. In this paper, we combine parallelization techniques on a cooperative cluster of multicore CPUs and multisocket GPUs to apply their joint computational power to an automatic image registration algorithm intended for the analysis of high-resolution microscope images. Registration methods pose a computational challenge within the biomedical field due to the large size of microscope image data sets, which typically extend to the Terabyte scale. We analyze this application to identify those parts which are more favorable to the CPU and GPU execution models and decompose the process accordingly. Performance results are presented for two sets of images: mouse placenta (16K × 16K pixels) and mouse mammary tumor (23K × 62K pixels). Execution times are shown on different multi-node, multi-socket and multi-core configurations to provide performance insights about the most effective approach.

In the present work, automatic corner detection in soccer games based on image features (e.g., object-based features) has been studied. For this purpose, a framework has been proposed that consists of five steps. This paper mainly focuses on the first three steps and specially ball detection step. Ball position on the field plays an important role in determining which event has occurred in the game. Therefore, it is necessary to detect exact position of the ball in the playfield and then track it. Ball trajectory that can be obtained via tracking is useful for identifying and detecting main events of soccer games. In these three steps, the most important processing that has been applied to the images is based on image segmentation to detect playfield, field lines, and ball. Cleaning morphological method is applied to detect the ball. This method is real-time and automatic, it yields superior results in comparison with other common methods such as Template Matching and Circular Hough Transform (CHT). By applying the proposed method, only one candidate for the ball position is obtained and non-ball candidates are removed, hence, it is more reliable than other methods. The results of the proposed method are compared with those of CHT. They illustrate that the proposed method is fast, effective, and reliable.

Current online social networks are massive and still growing. For example, Face book has over 500 million active users sharing over 30 billion items per month. The scale within these data streams has outstripped traditional graph analysis methods. Real-time monitoring for anomalies may require dynamic analysis rather than repeated static analysis. The massive state behind multiple persistent queries requires shared data structures and flexible representations. We present a framework based on the STINGER data structure that can monitor a global property, connected components, on a graph of 16 million vertices at rates of up to 240,000 updates per second on 32 processors of a Cray XMT. For very large scale-free graphs, our implementation uses novel batching techniques that exploit the scale-free nature of the data and run over three times faster than prior methods. Our framework handles, for the first time, real-world data rates, opening the door to higher-level analytics such as community and anomaly detection.
