When views are treated incrementally, this external calibration can be subjected to drift, contrary to global methods that distribute residual errors evenly. We propose a combined global linear method based on computing consistent measurements in three views. First, all global camera rotations are computed from relative rotation estimates of pairwise image matches. Second, we minimize an approximate geometric error and projection error of feature points to find a linear relationship in camera triplets. This step can efficiently remove incorrect triplets which is very important for global reconstruction. Third, these triplets can be directly scaled up to register multiple cameras which can serve as a good initialization for final bundle adjustment. The performance of the proposed method is tested on several well-known image sets and the result is accurate and robust.","PeriodicalId":273984,"journal":{"name":"CiiT international journal of digital image processing","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116264259","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 iterative algorithm is proposed to locate and segment text regions. In each iteration, the candidate text regions are generated by detecting Maximally Stable Extremal Region (MSER) with diminishing thresholds, and categorized into different groups based on a new similarity graph, and the texted region groups are identified by applying several features and rules. With our proposed overlap checking method the final well-segmented text regions are selected from these groups in all iterations. Experiments have been carried out on the web born-digital image datasets used for robust reading competition in ICDAR 2011 and 2013, and the results demonstrate that our proposed scheme can significantly reduce both the number of over-merge regions and the lost rate of target atoms, and the overall performance outperforms the best compared with the methods shown in the two competitions in term of recall rate and f-score at the cost of slightly higher computational complexity.","PeriodicalId":273984,"journal":{"name":"CiiT international journal of digital image processing","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126083873","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}

As the distribution of SAR data can be accurately modeled as Gaussian, the algorithm adaptively quantizes the SAR data using Llyod-Max quantizer, which is optimal for standard Gaussian signal. However, due to the complexity of the imaging target features, the probability distribution function of some SAR data deviates from the Gaussian distribution, so the BAQ compression performance declined. In view of this situation, this paper proposes a method to judge whether the data satisfies Gaussian distribution by using the geometrical relationship between standard Gaussian curve and a triangle whose area is equal to that of the Gaussian curve, then getting the coordinates of the intersection of two curves, and comparing the integral value within each node to form three judgment conditions. Finally, the data satisfying these conditions is compressed by BAQ, otherwise compressed by DPCM. Experimental results indicate that the proposed scheme improves the performance compared with BAQ method.","PeriodicalId":273984,"journal":{"name":"CiiT international journal of digital image processing","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125593314","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 evaluates the optimal threshold by computing the accumulation similarity between two image collections from the perspective of global spatial attributes of images. One of the image collections are obtained by binarizing the original gray level image with each possible gray level. The others are the reference images, produced by binarizing MGM image. The MGM image is the result of applying MGM transformation to the original image. ARI is a similarity measurement in statistics, particularly in data clustering, which can be readily computed based on two image matrices. To be more accurate, the optimal threshold is determined by maximizing the accumulation similarity of ARI. Comparisons with three well established thresholding methods are depicted for numbers of real-world images. Experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":273984,"journal":{"name":"CiiT international journal of digital image processing","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124414328","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}
