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.
This paper is concerned with reducing the rank of the adaptive weight vector in radar array signal processing. The motivation for reducing the rank is that modern space-time processing requires many more weights than ...

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.< >

Presents a new algorithm for segmentation of noisy or textured images using the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for estimating parameters of the probability mass function of the pixel class labels and the maximization of the posterior marginals (MPM) criterion for the segmentation operation. A Markov random field (MRF) model is used for the pixel class labels. The authors present experimental results demonstrating the use of the new algorithm on synthetic images and medical imagery.< >

In this paper, we present a new approach to image restoration based on a flexible constraint framework that encapsulates structural assumptions about the uncorrupted image. Piecewise and local class (PALC) models are defined and utilized to restore images degraded by linear blurring and additive noise. The restoration process is accomplished by iteratively deconvolving the solution image while simultaneously optimizing local image characteristics defined by the PALC models. Solution images to this ill-posed, combinatorial problem are computed using the novel generalized deterministic annealing (GDA) optimization technique. The results demonstrate high quality image restoration as measured by local feature integrity, improvement in signal-to-noise ratio, and reduction of restoration artifacts, especially in the presence of heavy-tailed additive noise.< >

We introduce the Anisotropic Diffusion Pyramid (ADP), a structure for multiresolution imageprocessing. We also develop the ADP for use in region-based segmentation. The pyramid is constructed using the anisotropic diffusion equations, creating an efficient scale-space representation. Segmentation is accomplished using pyramid node linking. Since anisotropic diffusion preserves edge localization as the scale is increased, the region boundaries in the coarse-to-fine ADP segmentation are accurately delineated. An application to segmentation of remotely sensed data is provided. The results of ADP segmentation are compared to Gaussian-based pyramidal segmentation. The examples show that the ADP has a superior ability to subdivide the image into integral groupings, minimizing the error in boundary localization and in pixel intensity.< >

A prototype of an optical-electronic histogram generator has been designed and tested for 1-D objects. In this scheme, the object to be analyzed is laser scanned. The resulting optical signal is detected by a photodetector which generates an electrical signal output which is subsequently analyzed with a combination of analog and digital electronics. The system has shown to be fairly modular in design. Various aspects of the extension of the design to two dimensions is discussed.< >

Histogram generation, a standard imageprocessing operation, is a record of the intensity distribution in the image. A prototype of an optical-electronic histogram generator has been designed and tested for 1D objects using wirewrapped MSI TTL components (Richstein et al. 1993). The overall system design is such that the electronic signal obtained from the optically scanned two-dimensional semi-opaque image is processed and displayed within a period of one cycle of the scanning process. The authors report a VLSI design to be used in a two-dimensional real-time histogram generation scheme.< >
