First, non-local means method, which does not require motion estimation, is used for noise removal in image sequence. After that, motion vectors that are incorrectly estimated within defect regions are reestimated by taking into account the temporal continuity of motion trajectory. Finally, defects in films are detected by spike detection index (SDI) method, which are easily adapted to color image sequences. Performance of the method is tested on artificially corrupted and real films, and obtained results are demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127904135","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}

It is also assumed that images are generated or can be generated from a higher resolution (or continuous) image by appliying some affine operations, either linear or nonlinear. Under the same constraints and assumed relationships between image pixels and CCD cell areas, a simple subpixel registration technique for translation and rotation is proposed. We tested the new technique on artificially shifted images and real images and compared the results with the ones obtained using popular phase correlation method and concluding that our results is superior.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128518660","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}

Fuzzy mathematical morphology provides an effective basis for extracting binary and ternary spatial relationships by creating a fuzzy landscape where the value at each point corresponds to the relationship degree according to its position with respect to the reference object(s). We improve existing morphological approaches in terms of flexibility and efficiency while also obtaining more intuitive results. Our morphological definitions are sensitive to relative visibility of areas based on partial occlusions, and can also cope with the cases where some objects extend significantly differently relative to others. We show the effectiveness of the proposed definitions using synthetic and real images.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116105728","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}

Unfortunately, searching for optimal motion vectors of each possible partition incurs a heavy computational cost. In this paper, we propose a novel frame-level complexity control algorithm that determines for each macroblock which partitions are likely to be optimal. Motion vector search is carried out for only the selected partitions, thus reducing the complexity of the motion estimation step. The mode selection criteria is based on a measure of spatio-temporal activity within the macroblock. For each frame, the procedure guarantees that an execution time budget is met with minimum loss of coding efficiency. Simulation results show that the algorithm speeds up integerpel motion estimation by a factor of up to 40 with less than 0.2 dB loss in coding efficiency.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116120863","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 test environment is 2100 cm × 720 cm, which is divided into classed of square grids. For each class, a set of received signal strengths are measured and processed. Assuming that the class in which the RFID lag was located in the previous time of measurement is known, the next location (class) is estimated using Bayes decision theory. Proposed method is tested in a laboratory environment with obstacles. Results show that proposed method will be successful in location estimation where the estimation error stays within around 2 m.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117007470","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 uses redundancy and disparity between the two views and motion information between the previously decoded frames to estimate the lost frame. The results show that, the proposed algorithm outperforms the monoscopic methods when they are applied to the same view as they are simulcast coded.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114290346","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 signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the reconstructed dynamic PET verileri is generally so low that region of interest (ROI) analysis is required to have accurate quantification. ROI analysis produces a single value of receptor concentration for each region in the brain. Elimination of intermediate reconstruction steps and direct reconstruction of parameters from sinograms allowed us to form dense images of parameters of interest. In this paper, we applied the direct parametric reconstruction algorithm to form images of D2-dopamine receptor concentration within monkey brain using 18F-fallypride radiotracer. Our initial investigations show that our D2 receptor images are consistent with the results of the classical ROI analysis.","PeriodicalId":315147,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE 15th Signal Processing and Communications Applications","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114597526","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}
