This paper proposes a method of 3-dimensional measurement of a planar surface by using two fixed light sources and a TV camera. A set of two images is recorded by the camera switching on each light alternately. The peak of the luminance distribution in each image is detected, and the orientation and distance of the planar surface are calculated. The position of the peak of a luminance distribution can be estimated accurately by using an imageprocessing. The light sources can be conventional apparatus with no particular structure. The method is simple and suitable for a vision system on an indoor mobile robot.

This paper presents a texture segmentation algorithm based on a hierarchical wavelet decomposition. Using Daubechies' four-tap filter, an original image is decomposed into three detail images and one approximate image. The decomposition can be recursively applied to the approximate image to generate a lower resolution of the pyramid. The segmentation starts at the lowest resolution using the K-means clustering scheme and textural features obtained from various sub-bands. The result of segmentation is propagated through the pyramid to a higher resolution with continuously improving the segmentation. The lower resolution levels help to build the contour of the segmented texture, while higher levels refine the process, and correct possible errors.

We describe a multiresolution approach to edge detection using a sequential search algorithm. The use of a multiresolution image pyramid allows the integration of global edge information contained in lower resolutions to guide the sequential search at higher resolutions. As a consequence, the dependence on a priori knowledge of the image edges is greatly reduced. Estimating the sequential search parameters from lower resolution images provides for a more accurate and less costly search of edge paths in the image.

Video parsing is a fundamental operation used in many digital video applications such as digital libraries and video servers. The accuracy and execution speed of the parsing algorithm is critical if large amounts of video data are to be processed, particularly in real-time. We present a new algorithm to reconstruct DC coefficient images of a DCT and motion compensation compressed video sequence, e.g. MPEG. The histograms of the DC coefficient images can be used to detect scene changes.

In this paper we describe two error-recovery approaches for MPEG encoded video over ATM networks. The first approach aims at reconstructing each lost pixel by spatial interpolation from the nearest undamaged pixels. The second approach recovers lost macroblocks by minimizing intersample variations within each block and across its boundaries. Moreover, a new technique for packing ATM cells with compressed data is also proposed.

The problem inherent with any digital image (or digital video) system is the large amount of bandwidth required for transmission or storage. This has driven the research area of image compression to develop more complex algorithms that compress images to lower data rates with better fidelity. One approach that can be used to increase the execution speed of these complex algorithms is through the use of parallel processing. In this paper we address one aspect of the parallel implementation of the JPEG still image compression standard on the MasPar MP-1, a massively parallel SIMD computer. We develop a novel byte alignment algorithm used to efficiently output compressed data from the parallel system.< >

The problem inherent to any digital image (or digital video) system is the large amount of bandwidth required for transmission or storage. This has driven the research area of image compression to develop more complex algorithms that compress images to lower data rates with better fidelity. One approach that can be used to increase the execution speed of these complex algorithms is to implement the algorithms on a parallel supercomputer. The authors address the parallel implementation of the JPEG still image compression standard on the MasPar MP-1, a massively parallel SIMD computer. They demonstrate that the greatest difficulty lies not with the compression algorithm per se, but with the speed bottleneck that arises in the output of the compressed image. They develop a parallel output algorithm which addresses this problem and present results which show real-time performance on 1024/spl times/1024 images.< >
