Aiming at the actual macrophages images characteristic, this paper presents the method of image edge detection based on mathematical morphology. The image is first converted color space from RGB to YIQ. Then the image is segmented by Otsu threshold algorithm. And then the opening and closing of morphological filter are used to process the image. Finally, the edge detection operator based on morphology is carried out to extract the boundary of macrophages image. Experimental results show this method works successfully in the edge detection of macrophages microscopic images.","PeriodicalId":223866,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Image Analysis and Signal Processing","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131690743","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}

Images acquired from such system always have degradations due to diffraction and aberration in the optical system, atmospheric degradation source, relative motion between the camera and the original scene, integral sampling of the detector arrays, defocusing and so on. Restoration is essential to an infrared imaging system. The degradation model based on a convolution product is presented, and a restoration method based on a modified Wiener filter is proposed. Newton-Raphson method is used in the optimal parameter search procedure. The model is based on the uniform detectors assumption, but in practical applications such assumption cannot be satisfied. So a pre-process is needed to correct the nonuniformity to meet the assumption. Blind pixels compensation is also included in the pre-process procedure. Moreover, to avoid the ringing that may be created by Wiener filter, a boundary expansion method is applied before restoration procedure. To assess the restoration effect, we select image definition as the measurement criteria, and the calculation results show that the restored images have much higher definition than the degraded image. The restoration procedure is applied to an Oriental Pearl infrared image.","PeriodicalId":223866,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Image Analysis and Signal Processing","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130847038","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}

We assume that the packet arrived rate is known in advance but the sequence of packet dropouts is unknown. At first, we use the probability-weighted method to achieve a pseudo measurement sequence, and every pseudo measurement is the weighted value of the measurements acquired at the current time step and the prior time step. Some classical nonlinear filtering methods can be used via the pseudo measurement sequence and the dynamic equation of the system, and then the pseudo measurement unscented Kalman filter (PM_UKF) and the pseudo measurement particle filter (PM_PF) are given. This pseudo measurement sequence can be also used in the linear system, and its time complexity is lower than that of Sun's optimal filter at this time. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.","PeriodicalId":223866,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Image Analysis and Signal Processing","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126536557","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 existing local feature descriptors, e.g., SIFT and SURF, can only be used to represent sparse image extreme points which make stereo matching sparsely. We design EPDs to represent common image points. To generate an EPD, we first build image characteristics vectors for neighborhood points around interest point in a specific sampled window. An EPD is a covariance matrix of characteristics vectors for all sampled points. The image characteristics we used to build vectors include HSV color, Gaussian-weighted gradient norms and orientations, which make EPD robust to rotation, perspective and illumination change. Experimental results show that EPD's performance is superior to commonly used correlation windows methods in dense stereo matching.","PeriodicalId":223866,"journal":{"name":"2010 International Conference on Image Analysis and Signal Processing","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123471526","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 soft thresholding shrinkage can hence be employed on the Contourlet coefficients without estimating the noise variance. The denoising algorithm is validated by numerical experiments on two images.

In order to overcome this defect, an adaptive threshold algorithm for the Canny Operator was proposed which calculated the low threshold adaptively based on a probability model.
