To address this issue, this paper proposes a two-stage multi-hypothesis reconstruction (2sMHR) scheme which deploys the MH prediction in measurement domain and pixel domain successively. Two implementation schemes, GOP-wise and frame-wise scheme, are developed for the 2sMHR. Furthermore, a new weighted metric combining the Euclidean distance and correlation coefficient is designed for the Tikhonov-regularized MH prediction model. Simulation results show that the proposed two-stage MH reconstruction scheme obtains higher reconstruction accuracy than the state-of-the-art CVS prediction methods.","PeriodicalId":6521,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"28 1","pages":"2494-2498"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83625969","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 MBIR framework provides a powerful method for CT reconstruction by incorporating both a measurement model and prior model. Classically, the choice of prior has been limited to models enforcing local similarity in the image data. In some material science problems, however, much more may be known about the underlying physical process being imaged. Moreover, recent work in Plug-And-Play decoupling of the MBIR problem has enabled researchers to look beyond classical prior models, and innovations in methods of data acquisition such as interlaced view sampling have also shown promise for imaging of dynamic physical processes. In this paper, we propose an MBIR framework with a physics based prior model - namely the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The Cahn-Hilliard equation can be used to describe the spatiotemporal evolution of binary alloys. After formulating the MBIR cost with Cahn-Hilliard prior, we use Plug-And-Play algorithm with ICD optimization to minimize this cost. We apply this method to simulated data using the interlaced-view sampling method of data acquisition. Results show superior reconstruction quality compared to the Filtered Back Projection. Though we use Cahn-Hilliard equation as one instance, the method can be easily extended to use any other physics-based prior model for a different set of applications.","PeriodicalId":6521,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"153 1","pages":"3176-3179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86155506","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}

Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has recently been widely used for hyperspectral unmixing. However, due to the complex distribution of hyperspectral data, most existing NMF algorithms cannot adequately reflect the intrinsic relationship of the data. In this paper, we propose a novel method, Structured Discriminative Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (SDNMF), to preserve the structural information of hyperspectral data. This is achieved by introducing structured discriminative regularization terms to model both local affinity and distant repulsion of observed spectral responses. Moreover, considering that the abundances of most materials are sparse, a sparseness constraint is also introduced into SDNMF. Experimental results on both synthetic and real data have validated the effectiveness of the proposed method which achieves better unmixing performance than several alternative approaches.","PeriodicalId":6521,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"113 1","pages":"1848-1852"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86225580","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}

Hypothesis windows for object detection are obtained based on Fisher Vector representations over initially obtained superpixels. In order to obtain new window hypotheses, hierarchical merging of superpixel regions are applied, depending upon improvements on some objectiveness measures with no additional cost due to additivity of Fisher Vectors. The proposed technique is further improved by concatenating these representations with that of deep networks. Based on the results of the simulations on typical data sets, it can be argued that the approach is quite promising for its use of handcrafted features left to dust due to the rise of deep learning.","PeriodicalId":6521,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"20 1","pages":"3633-3637"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85903620","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}

However, quality estimators are not well suited to the similar but somewhat different task of utility estimation, where an image is judged instead by how useful it would be in comparison to a reference in the context of accomplishing some task. Multi-Scale Difference of Gaussian Utility (MS-DGU), a reduced-reference algorithm for image utility estimation, relies on matching image contours across scales tuned to spatial frequencies important for utility estimation. MS-DGU estimates utility with greater accuracy than previous techniques. A fast algorithm for utility-optimized image compression was developed through rate-utility optimization for MS-DGU. By simple scaling of JPEG quantization step sizes according to a “utility factor,” data rates were reduced by an average of 24% (and up to 30%) compared to standard JPEG while maintaining utility.","PeriodicalId":6521,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)","volume":"44 1","pages":"101-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82561100","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}

We propose a novel, cost effective method to detect false alarms triggered by spiders/webs in surveillance camera networks. This is accomplished by building a spider classifier intended to be a part of the surveillance video processing pipeline. The proposed method uses a feature descriptor obtained by early fusion of blur and texture. The approach is sufficiently efficient for real-time processing and yet comparable in performance with more computationally costly approaches like SIFT with bag of visual words aggregation.

In order to achieve a comprehensive geometry encoding, the local surface is continually rotated in a predefined local reference frame (LRF) so that multi-view information is obtained. Experiments on two publicly available datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed descriptor.
