Unlike multi-capture HDR methods, the suggested method requires only a small modification to existing CMOS imaging sensor. By changing exposure time line by line, one can obtain a multi-exposure image in a single capture of an image. With such captured image, digital image processing algorithms are applied to recover the lost vertical resolution with minimal degradation. This paper will cover overall system issues as well as detailed description of the algorithms applied to recover high dynamic range image.","PeriodicalId":360702,"journal":{"name":"2011 17th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133142752","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}

On the other hand, wideband radars offer high range resolution, and hence fast moving targets, in contrast to clutter or non moving targets, are likely to migrate during the coherent processing interval. Moreover, range migration is different between two Doppler ambiguous targets. These properties can be used to remove Doppler ambiguities and detect targets which fall in the clutter or targets sidelobes. In this paper, we derive new spectral estimators (and detectors accordingly) that can take into account range migration to improve detectability of Doppler ambiguous targets. The new techniques are based on an extension of Capon method to the wideband case, and take into account the non-stationarity of the covariance matrix of the targets. Numerical simulations show that the new estimators significantly reduce clutter and target sidelobes compared to previous proposed schemes.","PeriodicalId":360702,"journal":{"name":"2011 17th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"121 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122854399","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 representation is made up of N image sequences, each accompanied by a sequence of depth maps, telling the distance of each represented pixel from the observing camera. The depth maps are needed at the decoder side in order to generate intermediate views and therefore to enrich the user experience. This format is very flexible but also very demanding, in terms of storage space or and transmission bandwidth. Therefore, compression is needed. At this end, one of the key steps is an efficient representation of depth maps. In this work we build over a proposed method for multiple view video coding, based on dense disparity estimation between views. This allows us to obtain a compact and high-quality depthmap representation. In particular we explore the complex relationship between estimation and encoding parameters, showing that an optimal parameter set exist, that allows a fine-tuning of the estimation phase and an adaption of its results to the subsequent compression phase. Experiments are encouraging, showing remarkable gain over simple methods such as H.264/AVC simulcast, and even some gain with respect to more sophisticated techniques such as MVC.","PeriodicalId":360702,"journal":{"name":"2011 17th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128653361","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}

Although the visual fatigue caused by stereoscopic depth perception has been reported in a large number of subjective assessments, there has been little effort to measure objective indicators for the visual fatigue. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the visual fatigue and the amount of binocular disparity by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). As a result, we detected strong neuronal activities in frontal eye field (FEF) when the presented visual stimuli had disparities beyond the comfort zone. Since FEF is known to be involved in eye movement control, it also appears to have correlation with the visual fatigue caused by the stereoscopic depth perception.","PeriodicalId":360702,"journal":{"name":"2011 17th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117121401","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 recent paper [1] described a novel approach to binaural source localization based on a joint ILD-ITD estimation. The present work describes the effect of acoustic reverberation on this method. As expected, reverberation adds uncertainty to the localization process, thusmaking it necessary to introduce proper prefiltering techniques.","PeriodicalId":360702,"journal":{"name":"2011 17th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127457986","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}

Traditional exemplar-based inpainting techniques do not consider on the number of known and unknown pixels in the target patch. The errors often occur when small number of known pixels are used to present a large unknown area. The proposed patch shifting scheme provides more meaningful target patch than traditional exemplar-based approach. In this scheme, the target patch which has known pixels less than predefined threshold would be shifted in the direction that increases the number of known pixels. This means the chance to filling-in each patch more naturally is increasing. Experimental results show a significant improvement from traditional exemplar-based approach in both visual and mathematical aspects. Comparing with traditional exemplar-based inpainting sharper and more continuous edge can be achieved by our approach.","PeriodicalId":360702,"journal":{"name":"2011 17th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing (DSP)","volume":"3 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120985922","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}
