We present an antialiasing method using combined wavelet-Fourier transform and spatially adaptive shrinkage of the transform coefficients. Traditional antialiasing methods employ a simple low-pass filter onto the entire image, so the resulting image loses not only aliasing artifacts but also high-frequency components such as edges and ridges. The proposed algorithm analyzes the property of the LL subband of the discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and reduces aliasing artifacts using patch-adaptive shrinkage of the DWT coefficients. More specifically, an antialiased LL subband is obtained using adaptive patch-based aliasing reduction. To detect an aliased region, we subtract the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) coefficients of the LL subband from the DFT coefficients of antialiased LL subband. The detected aliasing artifacts in the LH, HL, and HH subbands are reduced by patch-wise adaptive shrinkage of the transform coefficients. The resulting antialiased image is obtained using the inverse DWT. The aliasing artifacts can be efficiently reduced by adaptively shrinking wavelet transform coefficients for preserving high-frequency image details. The proposed antialiasing algorithm is suitable for removing aliasing artifacts which frequently occur in imaging sensors with limited resolution.
Two stages are commonly employed in modern algorithms of image/video quality assessment (QA): (1) a local frequency-based decomposition, and (2) block-based statistical comparisons between the frequency coefficients o...

Produce recognition system is a system that can categorize types of vegetables and fruits based on features extracted from the images. However, there are numerous features that can be extracted from fruits and vegetables such as colour, texture and shape. As a result, it is effort consuming to identify suitable features ad hoc. Thus, data mining is required to discover the most discriminative features for recognition. This paper aims to extend the usage of data mining algorithm to image domain. Data mining algorithm is preferred to other feature selection algorithms because it discovers nuggets of knowledge that can be understood by human whereas classic feature selection techniques provide outputs that can only be managed by learning algorithms.

This paper presents a license plate character segmentation method in the context of Malaysian cars. First of all, pre-processing steps will enhance the image before Laplacian pyramid takes place. For a proper binarization, Laplacian pyramid which up-sampled the image from an image lower in the pyramid when the image is captured under low resolution. By using Sobel edge detector and then median filtering, circumscribe rectangle of minimum area is formed and the angle is calculated. At the same time, the area of characters is focussed. The characters are then selected based on connected component analysis after applying Niblack's threshold. Our goal is to segment the characters properly from the steps mentioned. Therefore, our algorithm tries to find the best point to segment the characters using little prior knowledge. Experimental shows promising results on the flexibility of the proposed design method.

This paper introduces a bundle adjustment (BA) method that obtains accurate structure and motion from rolling shutter (RS) video sequences: RSBA. When a classical BA algorithm processes a rolling shutter video, the resultant camera trajectory is brittle, and complete failures are not uncommon. We exploit the temporal continuity of the camera motion to define residuals of image point trajectories with respect to the camera trajectory. We compare the camera trajectories from RSBA to those from classical BA, and from classical BA on rectified videos. The comparisons are done on real video sequences from an iPhone 4, with ground truth obtained from a global shutter camera, rigidly mounted to the iPhone 4. Compared to classical BA, the rolling shutter model requires just six extra parameters. It also degrades the sparsity of the system Jacobian slightly, but as we demonstrate, the increase in computation time is moderate. Decisive advantages are that RSBA succeeds in cases where competing methods diverge, and consistently produces more accurate results.

This paper investigates the use of a single image of a smooth Lambertian surface to calibrate and remove some image nonlinearities due to the imaging device. To the best of our knowledge, this has not been addressed before in the literature. We show that this is possible, both theoretically and practically, taking advantage of some local shading measures that vary nonlinearly as a function of luminance and geometric nonlinearities (e.g., gamma correction and lens distortion). This can work as a basis for developing a simple method to estimate these nonlinearities from a single image. Several experiments are reported to validate the proposed method.

Polarization imaging can give information about surface shape, and roughness. Polarization has been used for shape recovery, but with convex/concave reconstruction ambiguity. In this paper, we present a direct method to shape recovery using both polarization and shading that resolves this ambiguity, without the need for nonlinear optimization routines. Several experiments on synthetic and real datasets are reported to evaluate the proposed method. The method consistently outperforms some well-known methods based on polarization information alone.
