The method yields a simple calibration means for an arbitrary number of linear projective cameras while maintaining the handiness and flexibility of the original method. A freely moving planar pattern as a calibration object at a few different orientations is only required. All the cameras do not have to see this pattern at all orientations, and only reasonable overlap between camera subgroups is necessary. We divide these cameras into groups according to their positions and orientations first, and then calibrate each camera in the world coordinate system of its own group via a factorization-based method. Common view fields of planar pattern are used to estimate the Euclidean transformation between these world coordinate systems and represent all cameras in a same world coordinate system. Both the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of cameras can be obtained in a uniform world coordinate system of accuracy to within a pixel.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128139957","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}

First, MODIS intrinsic noises are removed. Then, an optimal inter-band predictor is designed for de-correlating the spectral redundancy, and an error image is produced. Next, spatial redundancy in the error image is removed by using IWT and SPIHT (set partitioning in hierarchical trees) algorithm. This method can implement lossless compression, quasi-lossless compression and lossy compression with high compression ratio. We demonstrate the compression performance with different compression schemes in details.

Blind restoration of degraded image is usually required to improve the image quality, for the reason that the degradation is partially or completely unknown in many practical situations. Commonly, using the APEX method can effectively accomplish the blind restoration when a significant class of degradation (Levy stable processes) is considered, but noise is unexpectedly amplified in the process. In this paper, a novel method is proposed to both suppress the noise effect and improve the image quality. The performance of the method is investigated with experiments on real degraded images. The noniterative property of this method makes its application and implementation in real-time image processing systems be easy.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115585362","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 simple and functional approach for modeling dynamic wrinkles of face is introduced. Started with structured facial mesh, we divide face region into some wrinkle subregions, and create some wrinkle lines with our algorithm in these subregions. Then, some key nodes are labeled on the facial mesh, these key nodes affect wrinkle lines if wrinkle lines locate the subregions that abut on the key nodes. With our algorithm, motion of wrinkle lines is produced by movement of key nodes. Consequently, wrinkle lines drive facial mesh to model expressive wrinkles. In this way, we create dynamic and functional expressive wrinkles of individuals available to date and demonstrate their use in facial animation.","PeriodicalId":367106,"journal":{"name":"Fourth International Conference on Image and Graphics (ICIG 2007)","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123090969","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}
