Image sharing scheme based on discrete fractional random transform

We present a novel image sharing algorithm based on the discrete fractional random transform (DFRNT). The secret image is shared into several shadow images in the DFRNT domain together with some noise images as the encryption keys to increase the security. The decryption only requires a part of shadow images and therefore is independent of those noise images. The (t,n) threshold sharing scheme can be implemented completely by the proposed algorithm. The numerical simulations have demonstrated the effectiveness of this image sharing scheme.

为了使融合后的多光谱图像在尽可能保持原始多光谱图像光谱特性的同时,显著提高空间分辨力,提出了一种基于非采样Contourlet变换(NSCT)的遥感图像融合算法。算法首先对全色波段图像进行非采样Contourlet变换,得到全色波段图像的低频子带系数和各带通方向子带系数;然后针对多光谱图像的每一个波段,将其进行双线性插值后作为融合后多光谱图像的低频子带系数,对全色波段图像的各带通方向子带系数采用基于成像系统物理特性的注入模型(调整系数)进行局部调整后,作为融合后多光谱图像的各带通方向子带系数,从而得到融合后多光谱图像的非采样Contourlet变换系数;最后再经非采样Contourlet逆变换得到该波段具有高空间分辨力的多光谱图像。采用IKONOS卫星遥感图像进行了仿真实验,实验结果表明,该算法在光谱保留和空间质量提高方面优于其它传统的遥感图像融合算法。     

基于先验组分的多谱CT序列DCM融合算法研究

多谱CT成像是通过不同谱段的CT图像表征检测对象中的不同组分。为了便于在同一视图中显示所有组分的信息,需要研究多谱CT序列的融合方法;但是常用融合方法如加权平均法、小波变换融合法等都是针对图像细节信息的优化,不能表达组分的物理特性,从而导致融合图像的灰度不具有物理表征性,影响CT的定量检测。为此,结合具有物理表征特征的数据约束模型(DCM),开展了基于先验组分的多谱CT序列DCM融合算法研究。首先通过能谱滤波分离的成像方法获得多个能谱范围内的多能投影数据,采用TV-OSEM算法重建不同能谱段的CT序列;其次,利用传统DCM模型和改进DCM模型分别对多谱CT序列进行融合,传统DCM模型是严格单能的,由于滤波后能谱的非严格单能特性,其融合结果不能表征出对象序列中的全部组分。针对此问题提出了改进DCM模型。改进DCM模型选择了新的体元定义,并且在多谱CT序列融合中引入先验组分作为参照,通过先验物质对融合结果中其他物质进行校准,实现检测对象中各组分位置的准确分布。仿真实验表明,该方法可从物理表征正确性的角度,实现多谱CT序列融合,在满足CT序列中不同组分区分的同时,其融合图像的灰度具有物理可参照性,有利于后续的CT定量检测。

多光谱/全色影像融合可以得到高空间分辨率的多光谱影像,在影像解译和分类等方面具有十分重要的意义。提出一种基于梯度一致性约束的遥感影像融合方法。该方法在最大后验概率框架下,通过梯度一致性约束建立理想高空间分辨率多光谱影像和全色影像之间的关系,并结合多光谱影像观测模型和Huber-Markov影像先验,构建融合目标函数,最后采用梯度下降法求解得到融合影像。本文方法在目标函数中引入了梯度一致性约束,克服了现有的同类方法受限于波段数量的缺陷,同时在求解中自适应确定每个波段的迭代步长,充分顾及了各波段的光谱特性,从而既确保了融合影像的光谱信息保真度,也提高了融合影像的空间信息融入度。通过IKONOS和WorldView-2影像对该方法进行了验证,并和GS,AIHS和AMBF等融合方法从定性和定量两方面进行了比较分析。实验结果表明,相比于其他方法,该方法可以在更好保持光谱信息的同时增强影像的空间分辨率,具有更广泛的适用范围和更佳的融合效果。     

Pulse Coupled Neural Network-Based Multimodal Medical Image Fusion via Guided Filtering and WSEML in NSCT Domain

Multimodal medical image fusion aims to fuse images with complementary multisource information. In this paper, we propose a novel multimodal medical image fusion method using pulse coupled neural network (PCNN) and a weighted sum of eight-neighborhood-based modified Laplacian (WSEML) integrating guided image filtering (GIF) in non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) domain. Firstly, the source images are decomposed by NSCT, several low- and high-frequency sub-bands are generated. Secondly, the PCNN-based fusion rule is used to process the low-frequency components, and the GIF-WSEML fusion model is used to process the high-frequency components. Finally, the fused image is obtained by integrating the fused low- and high-frequency sub-bands. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve better performance in terms of multimodal medical image fusion. The proposed algorithm also has obvious advantages in objective evaluation indexes VIFF, Q_W, API, SD, EN and time consumption.

We demonstrate that the DFRNCT and DFRNST can be regarded as special kinds of DFRNT and thus their mathematical properties are inherited from the DFRNT. Numerical results of DFRNCT and DFRNST for one and two-dimensional functions have been given.     

基于嵌入式多尺度分解和可能性理论的多波段纹理图像融合

将多尺度变换和“高频取大、低频加权平均”融合规则相结合是融合双波段图像的有效方法。但用该类方法融合多波段图像时,序贯式加权常常会导致原图像间固有的差异信息在融合图像中被弱化,从而影响后续的目标识别和场景理解。该问题在融合具有纹理特征的多波段图像时更为突出。为此,提出了一个基于嵌入式多尺度分解和可能性理论的多波段纹理图像融合新方法。首先,利用一种多尺度变换方法把多波段原图像分别分解为高频和低频成分,并对多波段图像中标准差最大的一幅原图像的低频成分利用另一种多尺度方法进行分块,再以该分块图像的大小和位置为标准对其余波段的原图像进行分块。然后,基于可能性理论的相关融合规则逐一融合对应的多波段块图像,再把块融合图像进行拼接,以拼接结果作为低频融合图像。最后,将该低频融合图像和利用取大规则融合得到的高频成分一起通过多尺度逆变换获得最终的融合图像。这种方法不仅将像素级和特征级融合方法综合在一起, 而且将空间域和变换域技术综合在一起, 并通过对大小块采用不同融合规则解决了目标边缘的锯齿效应问题。实验表明该方法效果显著。     

An improved fusion algorithm for infrared and visible images based on multi-scale transform

In this paper, an improved fusion algorithm for infrared and visible images based on multi-scale transform is proposed. First of all, Morphology-Hat transform is used for an infrared image and a visible image separately. Then two images were decomposed into high-frequency and low-frequency images by contourlet transform (CT). The fusion strategy of high-frequency images is based on mean gradient and the fusion strategy of low-frequency images is based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Finally, the final fused image is obtained by using the inverse contourlet transform (ICT). The experiments and results demonstrate that the proposed method can significantly improve image fusion performance, accomplish notable target information and high contrast and preserve rich details information at the same time.     

Multiple images encryption based on Fourier transform hologram

A new optical encryption method is proposed in this paper to achieve multiple images encryption. We introduce reference waves with different incident angles and random amplitude masks into a Fourier transform hologram configuration to encrypt multiple images. In the encryption procedure, different random amplitude masks (RAMs) which are placed into the reference arm vertically admit the multiplexing capability. When decrypting one of the original images, reference wave with the same incident angle as encrypting the target image is used to illuminate the encrypted hologram with the insertion of random amplitude mask whose transmissivity is reciprocal of that of the encrypting random amplitude mask in the reference arm. We also simulate and analyze the influence of partly wrong decrypting key on the decrypted results. Numerical simulation proves that the proposed encryption method is valid and of high security level.

A fusion method for infrared–visible image and infrared-polarization image based on multi-scale center-surround top-hat transform

This paper presents a fusion method for infrared–visible image and infrared-polarization image based on multi-scale center-surround top-hat transform which can effectively extract the feature information and detail information of source images. Firstly, the multi-scale bright (dark) feature regions of source images at different scale levels are respectively extracted by multi-scale center-surround top-hat transform. Secondly, the bright (dark) feature regions at different scale levels are refined for eliminating the redundancies by spatial scale. Thirdly, the refined bright (dark) feature regions from different scales are combined into the fused bright (dark) feature regions through adding. Then, a base image is calculated by performing dilation and erosion on the source images with the largest scale outer structure element. Finally, the fusion image is obtained by importing the fused bright and dark features into the base image with a reasonable strategy. Experimental results indicate that the proposed fusion method can obtain state-of-the-art performance in both aspects of objective assessment and subjective visual quality.     

A novel image fusion algorithm based on nonsubsampled shearlet transform

To overcome the shortcoming of traditional image fusion method based on multi-scale transform, a novel adaptive image fusion algorithm based on nonsubsampled shearlet transform (NSST) is proposed. Firstly, the NSST is utilized to decompose the source images on various scales and in different directions, and the low frequency sub-band and bandpass sub-band coefficients are obtained. Secondly, for the low frequency sub-band coefficients, the singular value decomposition method in the gradient domain is used to estimate the local structure information of image, and an adaptive ‘weighted averaging’ fusion rule based on the sigmoid function and the extracted features is presented. To improve the quality of fused image, a novel sum-modified-Laplacian (NSML), which can extract more useful information from source images, is employed as the measurement to select bandpass sub-band coefficients. Finally, the fused image is obtained by performing the inverse NSST on the combined coefficients. The proposed fusion method is verified on several sets of multi-source images, and the experimental results show that the proposed approach can significantly outperform the conventional image fusion methods in terms of both objective evaluation criteria and visual quality.     

Fusion of infrared-visible images using improved multi-scale top-hat transform and suitable fusion rules

Integration of infrared and visible images is an active and important topic in image understanding and interpretation. In this paper, a new fusion method is proposed based on the improved multi-scale center-surround top-hat transform, which can effectively extract the feature information and detail information of source images. Firstly, the multi-scale bright (dark) feature regions of infrared and visible images are respectively extracted at different scale levels by the improved multi-scale center-surround top-hat transform. Secondly, the feature regions at the same scale in both images are combined by multi-judgment contrast fusion rule, and the final feature images are obtained by simply adding all scales of feature images together. Then, a base image is calculated by performing Gaussian fuzzy logic combination rule on two smoothed source images. Finally, the fusion image is obtained by importing the extracted bright and dark feature images into the base image with a suitable strategy. Both objective assessment and subjective vision of the experimental results indicate that the proposed method is superior to current popular MST-based methods and morphology-based methods in the field of infrared-visible images fusion.     

Optical color image hiding scheme by using Gerchberg–Saxton algorithm in fractional Fourier domain

We proposed an optical color image hiding algorithm based on Gerchberg–Saxton retrieval algorithm in fractional Fourier domain. The RGB components of the color image are converted into a scrambled image by using 3D Arnold transform before the hiding operation simultaneously and these changed images are regarded as the amplitude of fractional Fourier spectrum. Subsequently the unknown phase functions in fractional Fourier domain are calculated by the retrieval algorithm, in which the host RBG components are the part of amplitude of the input functions. The 3D Arnold transform is performed with different parameters to enhance the security of the hiding and extracting algorithm. Some numerical simulations are made to test the validity and capability of the proposed color hiding encryption algorithm.
