Several distortions limit the quality of digital images during image acquisition, formation, storage and transmission. Impulse noise is introduced in the images from some digital sources due to acquisition error or transmission error or a problem in the ground processing systems. In this paper, an efficient edge preserving impulse noise removal technique has been proposed. The algorithm has been simulated on MATLAB and implemented using FPGA. The results show that the proposed technique preserves the finer edge details of the image during the impulse noise removal process. The technique has high performance in terms of qualitative analysis as well as visual quality using PSNR and MAE. Also, synthesis results prove that the design is of low computational complexity and lesser hardware cost.","PeriodicalId":170271,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP)","volume":"207 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122343082","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}

Of the many available color models, HSI model provides a highly effective color evaluation particularly for analyzing biological products. Human assessment furnishes only qualitative data and such inspection is time consuming and cost-intensive. Machine vision systems with specialized image processing software provide a solution that may satisfy the demand. The analysis was carried out on images of 187 apple fruits, shows that classification done based on median of PDF.

A novel algorithm with two level cascaded Kalman filter and PID controller is proposed for steer control. Filtering and calculation of the lateral error using Kalman filter is the first level. PID control algorithm uses the filtered value and calculates the required steer to reduce the lateral error towards zero. The experimental results show that the combination of Kalman Filter with PID for lateral control reduces trajectory error to a minimum over the entire course of the track. The closed loop algorithm for dc motor helps in modifying the speed depending on the nature of the track. The obstacle sensor measures the distance between preceding moving vehicle and helps to maintain the safe distance. The wireless RF module enables the vehicle to communicate with the neighboring vehicle as well as with infrastructure, which helps the auto-piloted vehicle to get the traffic situations and environmental conditions for better path planning and platooning. Combination of the proposed steer control, speed control, obstacle detection and communication algorithms helps the auto-piloted vehicles to navigate the track with better tracking accuracy and completes the test bed track in optimum speed with shortest time.","PeriodicalId":170271,"journal":{"name":"2012 International Conference on Machine Vision and Image Processing (MVIP)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134439665","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 geometric features of the chromosome are length and centromere. The morphological features are banding pattern. The paper deals with chromosome length and centromere position. The centromere plays an important role to determine the position of P Arm and Q Arm. The P Arm and Q Arm are calculated. The total length is calculated by the sum of P Arm and Q Arm. The proposed algorithm helps in calculating length by curve fitting method which is based on the skeletonization algorithm.

The input image is decomposed into the four frequency subbands through discrete wavelet transform (DWT), and estimates the singular value matrix of the low-low subband image and then, it reconstructs the enhanced image by applying inverse DWT. This technique is especially useful for enhancement of INSAT as well as LANDSAT satellite images for better feature extraction. The singular value matrix represents the intensity information of the given image, and any change on the singular values changes the intensity of the input image. The proposed technique converts the image into DWT-SVD domain and after normalizing the singular value matrix; the enhanced image is reconstructed with the help of IDWT. The visual and quantitative results clearly show the edge sharpness, increased efficiency and flexibility of the proposed method based on Meyer wavelet and SVD over the various wavelet filters and also with exiting GHE technique.
