The sub-image homomorphic filtering technique is applied for using selective filters. The process started by dividing video clip into images frames, then separating into both horizontal and vertical parts before enhancing with homomorphic filtering method. Furthermore, the scene information of outdoor night video and the highlight details are recovered. The data source video was recorded only in the night time. The results show that the HMMOD method with BBRF is given an average of PSNR equal to 29.6227 dB, NC equal to 0.9961 and BNRF given average of PSNR equal to 22.5129 dB, NC equal to 0.9910, compared with the original images from ten outdoor videos at night. Therefore, the experiment shows that the proposed method can be used to improve the performance of video surveillance system in terms of PNSR and NC.","PeriodicalId":227455,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Multimedia and Image Processing (ICMIP)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131245836","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 traditional video watermarking can cause distortion to host video in a certain extent, and has a weak robustness against strong geometric attacks. Firstly, a Nonnegative Matrix Factorization with Sparseness Constraints on Parts (NMFSCP) method is proposed in this paper. Secondly, the NMFSCP is utilized to obtain coefficient matrix with geometric invariance. Finally, the coefficient matrix is used to generate robust zero-watermarking. The experiments indicate that, the proposed zero-watermarking not only can resist conventional video signal processing such as adding noise and filtering, etc., but also shows strong robustness against strong geometric attacks such as rotation, scaling, translation, and cropping, etc., and moreover, can play the role in copyright protection of intellectual property without causing any visual perceptible distortion.","PeriodicalId":227455,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Multimedia and Image Processing (ICMIP)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134046314","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 4D ultrasound imaging method is proposed to create a sequence of breathing-corrected 3D ultrasound images from multiple 2D US image sequences, which is acquired by using a robotic arm to hold a 2D US probe and tilt it to regularly scan the liver. An image-based method is introduced to label the respiratory phases of the acquired images. Based on the extracted phases, the acquired 2D images are then resampled to reconstruct a sequence of respiration-corrected 3D ultrasound images. The reconstructed 3D images can capture the moving 3D liver during half a breathing cycle. Initial experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is feasible to visualize the 3D liver motion.","PeriodicalId":227455,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Multimedia and Image Processing (ICMIP)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114205324","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 proposed method consists of three elemental operators, that are dynamic texture model based motion segmentation, feature extraction and Gaussian process (GP) regression. The objective of motion segmentation is to recognize the target regions covering the moving vehicles in the sequence of visual processes. The feature extraction operator aims to extract useful features from the target regions. The extracted features are then mapped to the number of vehicles through the operator of GP regression. A training stage using historical visual data is required for determining the parameter values of the GP. Based on a low-resolution visual data set, preliminary evaluations on the performance of the proposed method are performed. The results show that the proposed method beats a benchmark solution based on Gaussian mixture model, and has the potential to be developed into qualified and practical solutions to real-time TFP.","PeriodicalId":227455,"journal":{"name":"2017 2nd International Conference on Multimedia and Image Processing (ICMIP)","volume":"331 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117063981","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}
