The spectral imagery is encoded into two layers, i.e. base layer and enhancement layer. Firstly, an PCA-FVQ (Principal Component Analysis based Fast Vector Quantization) coding method has been proposed to generate the base layer bitstream, which can be decoded independently to provide a basic image quality. Then the differential data between the original image and the reconstructed image decoded from the base layer bitstream is encoded by 3D-SPECK algorithm to generate the enhancement layer bitstream which can provide an enhanced image quality. The experimental results show that, under the same coding conditions, compared with 3D-SPECK algorithm, the proposed method has achieved 1-15dB higher image quality improvement in terms of SNR (Signal to Noise) while the compression ratio can be controlled precisely.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"13 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127257489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The measured Doppler shift is ambiguous and modulated by the micro-Doppler components. It is difficult to estimate the micro-Doppler bandwidth of BMT and extract its micro-motion parameters. Under the condition of taking account the motion features of BMT, its wideband echo mathematical model is established and investigated at first. Then, the velocity compensation technique is put forward which is based on simplified fractional Fourier transform (SFRFT), Particles Swarm Optimization (PSO) and minimum entropy theories. Simulation results show that the advanced method can present accurate parameter estimation and perform effective compensation for translation Doppler shift. Even in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) case, the simulated outcomes prove it still work well. This technique provides the precondition for micro-Doppler feature extraction.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128979712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various automatic first break picking methods, such as based on the wavelet energy differences, crosscorrelation technique, fractal dimension or neural network, are influenced by environmental noises because they rarely took the source-receiver geometrical relationship and surface-consistence into account. In this paper, a promising automatic first break detection method based on the acquisition geometry characters and seismic wave transmitting is presented. This method can acquire more accuracy travel times according to the statistical characteristics and surface-consistent characteristics of first arrival times within the common source gather and the common receiver gather, while the first kick time of every single trace can be estimated by the conventional methods.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130684426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A technique which is often used to increase the contrast of dark images is gamma correction. However, the value of gamma suitable for appropriate enhancement of a given image remains a question. In this paper, we propose to first estimate the level of exposure in the input image using fuzzy reasoning that is based on a set of fuzzy rules. Following this, we derive the gamma value as a function of the exposure level. Also, we propose to apply the gamma correction on the negative of the input image since it produces a better contrast compared to the conventional gamma correction. The proposed method was applied to several badly illuminated images, both gray and color, and the results obtained were compared to that obtained using histogram equalization.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130228802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The matching likelihoods of the stereo correspondence can be robustly constructed as data term by aggregating initial matching costs from Weber local descriptors using an unsymmetrical guided filtering in a linear model. The disparity priors are devised as smooth term to characterize the smoothness constraints leveraged by the MST structure. The presented stereo approach provides an effective and efficient way to reflect robust visual dissimilarity and resolve local and regional discontinuities. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed global stereo matching method can produce piecewise smooth, accurate and dense disparity map, while removing effectively the visual ambiguity of the stereo matching problem.","PeriodicalId":143331,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE 11th International Conference on Signal Processing","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127980747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
