Segmentation becomes a difficult task if the objects and background are not homogeneous and having overlapping characteristics. Cattle segmentation from its background is required in several typical applications, such as: the automatic cattle race classification. The cattle's fur detection which is inspired from the human skin detection is investigated in this paper for cattle and background segmentation in automatic beef cattle race classification. The Gaussian mixture model that was used in skin detection has been adopted to model Bali cow and Hybrid Ongole cow in this beef cattle race classification. The RGB color space and two texture descriptors are used as the features set. The addition of texture descriptor has increased the performance of the fur detection and automatic race classification. The GMM performs well but the noise and the complexity of the background lead to misclassification.

Batik, as a cultural heritage from Indonesia, has a lot of motifs based on certain patterns. This paper discusses feature extraction methods for the recognition of batik motifs in digital images. In this study, the use of several feature extraction methods have been compared in terms of their performance with several scenarios for testing level accuracy. The methods include Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrices (GLCM), Canny Edge Detection, and Gabor filters. The experimental results show that the use of GLCM features has performed the best with a classification accuracy reaching 80%.

A considerable amount of research work has been done for texture classification using local or global feature extraction methods. Inspired by Weber's Law, a simple and robust Weber Local Descriptor (WLD) is a recently developed for local feature extraction. This WLD method did not consider the contrast information. In order to improve texture classification accuracy, we propose a hybrid approach that combines the WLD with contrast information in this paper. It utilizes the histogram of two complementary features WLD and the image variance calculated with the Probability Weighted Moments. Support vector machine is used for classification. The comparison of the proposed method with state of art methods like local binary pattern and WLD is experimental investigated on two publically available dataset, named as Brodatz and KTH-TIPS2-a. Results show that our proposed method outperforms over the state of art methods for texture classification.

The purpose of image fusion is to combine information from several different source images to one image, which becomes reliable and much easier to be comprehended by people. Based on analyzing the relations of average and standard deviation of the two or more source images, a new strategy to improve image fusion effect and a new evaluation measure named RAS (the ratio between average and standard deviation) are proposed in this paper. We apply wavelet transform to decompose an image into low-frequency sub-image and high-frequency sub-images and apply different fusion rules respectively to low-frequency sub-image and high-frequency sub-images. According to subjective evaluation and objective criteria, such as entropy, root mean square error (RMSE), peak-to-peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR),RAS, the proposed strategy is very effective and universal to some extent for fusing a class of images whose average and standard deviation are approximately equal respectively through extensive experiments.
We propose an extension of RBF networks which includes a mechanism for optimizing the complexity of the network. The approach involves two procedures: adaptation (training) and selection. The first procedure adaptivel...

Texture feature extraction plays an important role in texture image classification. In this paper, we have proposed a texture feature extraction method by utilizing the Short-time Fourier Transform to provide local image information, and for the global geometric correspondence we have proposed to use Spatial Pyramid Matching in frequency domain named as Short-time Fourier Transform with Spatial Pyramid Matching (STFT-SPM). The experiments are conducted on standard benchmark datasets for texture classification like Brodatz and KTH-TIPS2-a, shows that STFT-SPM can achieve significant improvement compared to the Local Phase Quantization, Weber local Descriptor and local Binary pattern methods.

A new restoration method for joint blurred images with partially known information is proposed in this paper. The joint blur here is assumed to be motion blurs and defocus blur mixed together. Under the condition of two blur effects are supposed to be independent linear shift-invariant processes and motion blur parameter can be obtained with known information, a reduced update Kalman filter (RUKF) is used for degraded image restoration and the best defocus point spread function (PSF) parameter is determined based on the maximum entropy principle (MEP). Experimental results with real images show that the proposed approach works well.

In this paper, we present a novel method on image calibration, utilizing Total Least Square (TLS) method and Feed-forward Neural Network, to solve the aberration problem of LAMOST two-dimensional astronomical spectral images. In our method, training sample set is generated with domain knowledge, from which a number of discrete points are are extracted from spectral images with fiber tracing method, and output vectors are formed by the corresponding calibrated points, obtained by utilizing the TLS method. The Feed-forward Neural Network is trained to obtain the transformation matrix, casting about for the matching relationship between the input and output sets. We also perform comparative experiments on fiber tracing and spectrum extraction results between calibrated spectral images and uncalibrated spectral images, the results show an advantage of higher accuracy and precision by our proposed method.
