The context is designed based on both neighbor pixels and the statistical reference. Finally, each pixel is adaptively compressed based on the proposed context condition. In the experiment, the proposed scheme yields the comparable performance to the standard JPEG-LS [1], while the number of context conditions are decreased by 30%.

Although many image processing techniques have been developed for chromosomal karyotyping to assist in laboratory diagnosis, they fail to provide reliable results in segmenting and extracting the centerline of chromosomes due to their shape variability when placed on microscope slides. In this paper we propose a hybrid algorithm that uses Gradient Vector Flow active contours, Discrete Curve Evolution based skeleton pruning and morphological thinning to provide a reliable centerline that is robust to shape variations of the chromosomes. Effective identification of the chromosome outline with its centerline provides a basis for further operations such as automated chromosome classification and centromere identification.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"386 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122849036","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}

Finally, an OD boundary is determined after a pair of morphological post-processing operations. The proposed technique has been tested over three public datasets that are composed of 130, 89, and 40 retinal images, respectively.

However, the rate-distortion performance of H.264 SVC is still inferior to the non-scalable H.264 AVC. To reduce the performance gap between H.264 SVC and H.264 AVC, we propose a model-based adaptive resolution upconversion algorithm to improve the precision of the H.264 SVC inter-layer prediction. The new algorithm treats the up-sampling of video frames as an inverse problem of initial H.264 SVC down-sampling operation, and it significantly improves the performance of current H.264 SVC by optimally reversing the down-sampling filter.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116723429","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, we address the problem of efficient bit allocation among texture and depth maps of multi-view images. We pose the following question: for chosen (1) coding tool to encode texture and depth maps at the encoder and (2) view synthesis tool to reconstruct uncoded views at the decoder, how to best select captured views for encoding and distribute available bits among texture and depth maps of selected coded views, such that visual distortion of a “metric” of reconstructed views is minimized. We show that using the monotonicity assumption, suboptimal solutions can be efficiently pruned from the feasible space during parameter search. Our experiments show that optimal selection of coded views and associated quantization levels for texture and depth maps can outperform a heuristic scheme using constant levels for all maps (commonly used in the standard implementations) by up to 2.0dB. Moreover, the complexity of our scheme can be reduced by up to 66% over full search without loss of optimality.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129845581","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}

This paper presents a novel fingerprint image smear detection approach integrating symmetric wavelet transform (SWT), gray level co-occurrence matrix and DCT. A feature extraction algorithm is first proposed by utilizing SWT to decompose each fingerprint and characterizing local texture features of defective finger tissue with the SWT coefficients in sub-bands 4∼19. Concurrence matrix based texture features are incorporated into the feature vector to further improve the texture classification sensitivity. The fused feature vector is then fed into a pre-trained genetic neural network classifier, which identifies smears by labeling fingerprint sub-blocks into different categories. Finally, DCT decomposition is used to detect abnormalities in smear images. Experimental results indicate that the hybrid method can effectively identify various types of fingerprint smears.","PeriodicalId":228308,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129849494","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}
