We report a new quantitative measurement method of polarization direction based on the polarization axis finder (PAF) and digital imageprocessing. The PAF acts as an azimuthal analyzer to determine the polarization direction of linearly polarized light and form an "hourglass" intensity pattern, and a digital camera is employed to record the pattern, and then the lightwave's polarization direction is obtained accurately by analyzing the pattern with a specially designed digital imageprocessing algorithm. The quantitative measuring experiments have been carried out by validating the standard quartz plates with known rotation angles, and the measurement accuracy has reached 0.01 degrees.

Solar and wind energy systems, without storage, cannot satisfy variable load demands, but their combined use can help to solve the problem of the balance between generation and consumption. Energetic complementarity studies are useful to evaluate the viability of the use of two or more renewable energy sources with high variability in a specific interval of time in a determined region. In this paper, the monthly energetic complementarity study of solar and wind resources of Colombia is carried out. A novel approach to conduct the study is proposed. A dataset with the average monthly solar radiation and wind speed values is obtained from high-resolution images of renewable resources maps, using image processing algorithms. Then, the dataset is used to calculate the energetic complementarity of the sources employing the negative of the Pearson correlation coefficient. The obtained values are transformed to energetic complementarity maps, previously eliminating the protected areas. The obtained results show that there is a good energetic complementarity in the north and northeastern regions of the country throughout the year. The results indicate that projects related to the joint use of solar and wind generation systems could be developed in these regions.

It is important and intresting thing to recognize the chiral vector angle of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes by processing original STM images, which is usefull to automatically calculate chiral vector indices (n, m) during in-situ STM scanning of the analyzed object later. In this paper, we report some digital image processing algorithms application on the recognition of the chiral vector angle of SWCNTs. At last, we also write the correlative software with c++ codes, which applying the digital image processing algorithms. And from the result of processing a classic STM image of SWCNTs, we can clearly see graphite hexagon structure and give the chiral vector of the tube.

Isotropic image edge enhancement with high contrast can be achieved using a spiral phase filter (SPF) in a 4f optical system. However, real-time application of edge enhancement with SPF has generally been limited due to the requirement of coherent light or complex phase-shifting operation. In this paper, we demonstrate a real-time image edge enhancement method using a SPF and a graphic processing unit (GPU). By implementing the process of virtual spiral phase filtering on GPU, we are able to speed up the whole procedure by more than 8.3x with respect to CPU processing, and ultimately achieve video rate for megapixel images. In particular, our implementation can achieve higher speedup for more multiple images. These developments are increasing the potential for image edge enhancement of moving objects.

A quantitative full-field velocity measurement technique involving imaging of displaced particles in a fluid is described. In this paper a fully automatic imageprocessing procedure is developed to extract velocity vectors from flow visualization images. Flow visualization images are generated using special illumination coding which allows determination of both velocity magnitude and direction. The utility of this technique for detecting well-defined flow structures in a flow is demonstrated.

A probabilistic formulation of statistical models of a priori source distribution information is presented in terms of global and local correlations of source element strengths. A Bayesian analysis considering both the a priori source distribution probabilistic models and the Poisson statistics of photon detection fluctuations is studied. The Bayesian solution determined by a system of equations that maximizes the a posteriori probability, given the measured data, is presented. A Bayesian image-processing algorithm that obtains the solution iteratively is derived by using an expectation-maximization technique. The iterative Bayesian algorithm is applied to computer-generated ideal data and to experimental phantom imaging data containing Poisson noise. Improvement in imageprocessing with the Bayesian algorithm is demonstrated by comparing the processed images and the convergence performances of objective evaluation test functions obtained by using the Bayesian algorithm with those obtained by using the standard maximum-likelihood algorithm.

This paper presents a comparison between the field of artificial neural network and the field of imageprocessing and pattern recognition. It shows that some of the adaptive processingalgorithms for pattern recognition and imageprocessing, in terms of neural networks, can be seen as adaptive heteroassociative and autoassociative memories, respectively. The similarities and differences between these two fields are addressed.

In this paper, the night sky star imageprocessing algorithm, consisting of image preprocessing, star pattern recognition, and centroiding steps, is improved. It is shown that the proposed noise reduction approach can preserve more necessary information than other frequently used approaches. It is also shown that the proposed thresholding method unlike commonly used techniques can properly perform image binarization, especially in images with uneven illumination. Moreover, the higher performance rate and lower average centroiding estimation error of near 0.045 for 400 simulated images compared to other algorithms show the high capability of the proposed night sky star imageprocessing algorithm.

Given the importance of digital imageprocessing and the significance of their implementations on hardware to achieve better performance, this paper reviews the advantages of using FPGA over softwares and DSPs as a platform for implementation of digital imageprocessing applications. This work presents a hardware implementation of a FPGA-based real-time configurable system consisting of imageprocessing low-level operators such as, contrast adjustment, brightness adjustment, inverting an image and pseudo-color operation. The paper presents a Verilog description of a real-time configurable system for digital imageprocessing and focuses on medical images enhancement using this system. The solution provides an innovative hardware implementation and simulation, followed by immediate synthesis on FPGA.
