The proposed system is optimized for mobile devices by integer-programmable algorithms and auto-shot user interface. The proposed system consists of auto-shot interface, transform onto cylindrical surface, color compensation, local alignment, image stitching, and blending. The auto-shot interface senses user's camera motion and takes pictures when the camera motion is matched to the predefined motion model. The captured images are projected onto a cylindrical mosaic surface by modified projection equation. Exposure difference is removed by color compensation, where the luminance differences between images are adjusted and color saturation is eliminated. The projected images are locally aligned by fast hierarchical hexagonal search technique. Then, the optimal boundary of overlapped images are determined using dynamic programming and synthesized seamlessly. According to the experiments using mobile devices, the proposed system shows good performance compared with other PC-based mosaic algorithms.","PeriodicalId":147245,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Information Photonics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129918593","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}

PM can cause misdiagnosis of clean image data as missing data. The proposed algorithm uses a probabilistic framework to jointly detect PM and missing data by exploiting more temporal information than is typically used for missing data detection and by exploiting the local smoothness assumption of motion fields. The results of the framework are compared to an equivalent missing data detector without PM detection and the framework is shown to prevent the misdiagnosis of missing data due to PM.","PeriodicalId":147245,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Information Photonics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129306760","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 model is very efficient for representing sharp text and graphics onto a background, but, since the mask layer is binary, it is difficult to deal with scanned data and soft edges. The edge transitions don't fully belong to the foreground neither to the background, and cause some \"halo\" to the object edges using the MRC model. We present a method to detect segmented soft edges and a method to correct and sharpen the image within the MRC model. An improved data filling algorithm for the redundant regions is also presented. The original \"softness\" and relative position of the edges are estimated and we present a method to attempt to recreate the edge softness effect at the decoder.","PeriodicalId":147245,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Information Photonics","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123315428","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}

In this paper, a novel probabilistic cell model is designed to segment the individual hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) extracted from mice bone marrow cells. The proposed cell model has been successfully applied to HSC segmentation, identifying the most probable cell locations in the image on the basis of cell brightness and morphology.","PeriodicalId":147245,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Information Photonics","volume":"267 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134018471","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 basic idea of SFS is to infer the shape of an object from its shading information in a single image. Since this problem is ill-posed, a number of assumptions have been used extensively in the computer vision community for the SFS problem, such as orthographic projection, Lambertian reflectance model, single light source, and constant surface albedo. In this paper, starting with this typical set of assumptions, we derive new image intrinsic values based on image shading information. We derive these values for a number of reflectance models such as the linear and quadratic models in addition to the popular Lambertian model. We validated the obtained intrinsic values on hundreds of real and synthetic images.","PeriodicalId":147245,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Information Photonics","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126489358","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}

However, the predictive processing techniques employed in MPEG severely complicate the reverse-play operation. In this paper, we enhance our previously proposed compressed-domain approach for the efficient reverse-play operation of an MPEG video streaming system. In the proposed video streaming server, a novel macroblock-based algorithm is used to adaptively select the necessary macroblocks, manipulate the macroblocks and send the processed macroblocks to the client machine. The proposed approach only manipulates macroblocks either on the VLC-domain or DCT-domain to achieve the server with low complexity. Experimental results show that, as compared to the conventional system and the previously proposed compressed-domain system, the new streaming system reduces the required network bandwidth and the decoding complexity significantly.","PeriodicalId":147245,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Information Photonics","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123325470","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}
