Image fusion is a process of combining two or more images (which are registered) of the same scene to get the more informative image. Hierarchical multiscale and multiresolution image processing techniques, pyramid decomposition are the basis for the majority of image fusion algorithms. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a well-known scheme for feature extraction and dimension reduction and is used for image fusion. We propose image fusion algorithm by combining pyramid and PCA techniques and carryout the quality analysis of proposed fusion algorithm without reference image. There is an increasing need for the quality analysis of the fusion algorithms as fusion algorithms are data set dependent. Subjective analysis of fusion algorithm using hierarchical PCA is done by considering the opinion of experts and non experts and for quantitative quality analysis we use different quality metrics. We demonstrate fusion using pyramid, wavelet and PCA fusion techniques and carry out performance analysis for these four fusion methods using different quality measures for variety of data sets and show that proposed image fusion using hierarchical PCA is better for the fusion of multimodal imaged. Visible inspection with quality parameters are used to arrive at a fusion results.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"113 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131691404","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}

Passive 3-D vision techniques such as computational stereo vision method do surface reconstruction from disparities arising in images of the same scene taken from multiple views. For reconstruction leading to metrical information of the 3-D geometry of the scene the camera pose with respect to some world reference frame and the camera parameters such as the focal length, sensor size has to be accurately known. Such information especially the pose of the camera might not be known in many applications such as in agricultural, under-water explorations since a unique universal frame of reference is not possible. Also the constancy of the internal camera parameters will not be valid in many applications requiring good accuracy in reconstruction. In such cases the cameras used for passive triangulation is said to be un-calibrated. Stereo vision technique generally requires two images and which need not be from two different cameras. The paper is an attempt to use a single moving camera with which the image of the same scene is acquired from two different views. Since the scene geometry and the pose of the camera are unknown the problem to be addressed is close the so called Structure from Motion (SfM) problem in Computer Vision. The reconstruction method developed in the paper is extended further to segment top surfaces of cuboid shaped objects considered as the objects of interest in the scene reconstruction process. Though the information in the case considered is non-metrical the applications that pose such un-calibrated camera as a demand are plenty.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"88 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134644626","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}

It has been shown that preventing the surface from either shrinking or stretching is an effective way to resolve the ambiguities inherent to this problem. State-of-the-art solutions to nonrigid 3D shape recovery rely on the fact that distances between adjacent surface points must be preserved. Although the results obtained with such a constrained have small reconstruction error, they are still far away from a real-time reconstruction. The authors therefore exploit a two-level weighting schema in a new approach to inextensible and smooth surface reconstruction. This approach enables a fast and accurate implementation. Furthermore, the tradeoff between the speed and accuracy of reconstruction can be easily controlled with the aid of adaptive weighting of inextensibility constraint in the minimization procedure. Hence, with and appropriate two-level weight coefficient, the new approach provides a satisfactory result, both visually and quantitatively.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133134982","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 contribution shows that the reliability of the textural detection in FC images is rather high, reaching the specificity 88.9 % and sensitivity 88.6 % on the so far available material of pairs of FC images and corresponding OCT measurements.

We propose that these short fragments may constitute a concise vocabulary for actions. Models based on such “words” sometimes use the bag of words paradigm, which ignores sequence information. Also, despite the well-known utility of Fourier and similar features for temporal modelling, Fourier models have not received due attention to model action words until recently. Hence, we employ shape-frequency features as a temporally windowed Fourier transform to capture local motion and shape information. Unsupervised clustering discovers the naturally occurring modes (words) of these features. Each labelled video can thus be represented as a sequence of cluster transitions. Though different actions share common words, we observe that the word sequences are different for different actions, enabling easy discrimination. We evaluate the model on the Weizmann action dataset [1] and achieve 96.7% classification accuracy, and show how it compares to other similar algorithms.","PeriodicalId":201779,"journal":{"name":"2011 International Conference on Image Information Processing","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123656601","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}
