We decompose the texture images with a family of real orthonormal wavelet bases and compute the energy signatures using the wavelet packet coefficients. Then we select a few of the most dominant energy values as features and employ a Mahalanobis distance classifier to classify a set of distinct natural textures selected from the Brodatz album. In our experiments, the proposed method employed a reduced feature set and involved less computation in classification time while still archiving high accuracy rate (94.8%) for classifying twenty classes of natural texture images.","PeriodicalId":224112,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123540423","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}

APOCS differs from POCS in that the projections sequence in one (or more) of the convex sets can enter a desired region rapidly. Like POCS, our proposed algorithm is guaranteed to converge. Our new algorithm alleviates edge blurring by properly amplifying the WT of the image. The amplification in the WT domain biases the projection sequence to the subset of interpolated images that has less edge-bearing. Simulations show that our proposed algorithm performs better in the sense of PSNR and preserves the sharpness of the edges better than do the cubic interpolation and the POCS algorithms. In addition, our algorithm is more computationally efficient than the POCS algorithm since it converges in fewer iterations and has the same computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":224112,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127586353","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 fundamental problem in the image formation is phase ambiguity, i.e., it is impossible to distinguish between phases that differ by 2/spl pi/. Phase unwrapping in two dimensions essentially consists of detecting the pixel locations of the phase discontinuities, finding an ordering among the pixel locations for unwrapping the phase, and adding offsets of multiples of 2/spl pi/. In this paper, we propose a new method for detecting phase discontinuities. The method is based on a supervised feedforward multilayer perceptron neural network. We train and test the neural network on simulated phase images formed in an ODT system. For the ODT phase images, the new method detects the correct unwrapping locations where some conventional methods fail. The key contribution of the paper is a one-pass pixel-parallel low-complexity method for detecting phase discontinuities.","PeriodicalId":224112,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126678521","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 hidden Markov tree (HMT) model captures the key features of the joint statistics of the wavelet coefficients of real-world data. One potential drawback to the HMT framework is the need for computationally expensive iterative training (using the EM algorithm, for example). In this paper, we propose two reduced-parameter HMT models that capture the general structure of a broad class of grayscale images. The image HMT (iHMT) model leverages the fact that for a large class of images the structure of the HMT is self-similar across scale. This allows us to reduce the complexity of the iHMT to just nine easily trained parameters (independent of the size of the image and the number of wavelet scales). In the universal HMT (uHMT) we take a Bayesian approach and fix these nine parameters. The uHMT requires no training of any kind. While simple, we show using a series of image estimation/denoising experiments that these two new models retain nearly all of the key structures modeled by the full HMT. Based on these new models, we develop a shift-invariant wavelet denoising scheme that outperforms all algorithms in the current literature.","PeriodicalId":224112,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114698502","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}

Furthermore, an exciting possibility exists to combine spectroscopic characterization and/or identification with imaging because the radiation is broadband in nature. In order to achieve this, novel methods for real-time analysis of terahertz waveforms are required. Unfortunately, both the absorption and the phase delay of a transmitted terahertz pulse vary exponentially with the sample's thickness. We describe a robust algorithm for extracting both the thickness and the complex index of refraction of an unknown sample. In contrast, most spectroscopic transmission measurements require accurate knowledge of the sample's thickness to determine the optical parameters. We also investigate the limits of our method.","PeriodicalId":224112,"journal":{"name":"4th IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129717333","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}
