A semi-automated hybrid algorithm for accurate detection and counting of chemically etched tracks

In this paper, we present an accurate and comprehensive semi-automated algorithm for detection and counting the chemically etched tracks on polycarbonate nuclear Track detectors. The proposed algorithm consists of two main phases: a preprocessing phase for image preparation and quality improvement. It uses a format conversion into gray-scale image and contrast enhancement procedure. The contrast enhancement procedure employs the first-order fuzzy moment of the image and the Sugeno class of fuzzy complements to maximize the parametric indices of fuzziness of the image. In one feature extraction phase, two intrinsic characteristics of tracks are defined and formulated as topological feature (TF) and chromatic feature (CF). TF refers to tracks shape and geometry which are characterized and quantized by calculating the local Gray Level Spatial Correlation histogram of the tracks and CF refers to the color intensity difference of the tracks borders and tracks centric areas. The CF characterizes this difference specified to the tracks. After the feature extraction phase, the algorithm enters the detection and counting phase in which the fuzzy sets of background, noise (including small objects, notches, etc.) and track are constructed. Detected objects are then characterized according to their membership values to the fuzzy sets. The algorithm is designed in order to be applicable for different forms of tracks and track counting systems. Accuracy, linearity, sensitivity to the input parameters and comprehensibility of the method are validated in the simulation section.     

Automatic ridgelet image enhancement algorithm for road crack image based on fuzzy entropy and fuzzy divergence

True estimation of the boundary of a road crack and its size is a major task for its automatic detection. The improvement of visual effects of a road image is necessary for such a task. Therefore, we propose an automatic ridgelet image enhancement algorithm. A nonlinear function plays an important role in the enhancement algorithm in the ridgelet domain of an image. However, it is difficult to adjust the parameters of the nonlinear function adaptively with the variation of the road crack image input. Based on the fuzzy entropy criterion, we introduce two fuzzy divergences and two supplementary linear combinations between the fuzzy entropy and two fuzzy divergences as new measurements to solve the threshold segmentation problem in the ridgelet domain. According to the distribution histogram of magnitudes of the ridgelet high-frequency coefficients, we obtain the optimal segmentation thresholds that act as the parameters of the nonlinear function by using the maximum or minimum measurements of fuzzy entropy and fuzzy divergence, respectively. The self-adaptive nonlinear function makes it possible to realize the automatic enhancement of a road crack image. Experimental results show that our image enhancement algorithm can effectively enhance the global and local contrastive effects on road crack images.

An adaptive fusion approach for infrared and visible images based on NSCT and compressed sensing

A novel nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) based image fusion approach, implementing an adaptive-Gaussian (AG) fuzzy membership method, compressed sensing (CS) technique, total variation (TV) based gradient descent reconstruction algorithm, is proposed for the fusion computation of infrared and visible images.Compared with wavelet, contourlet, or any other multi-resolution analysis method, NSCT has many evident advantages, such as multi-scale, multi-direction, and translation invariance. As is known, a fuzzy set is characterized by its membership function (MF), while the commonly known Gaussian fuzzy membership degree can be introduced to establish an adaptive control of the fusion processing. The compressed sensing technique can sparsely sample the image information in a certain sampling rate, and the sparse signal can be recovered by solving a convex problem employing gradient descent based iterative algorithm(s).In the proposed fusion process, the pre-enhanced infrared image and the visible image are decomposed into low-frequency subbands and high-frequency subbands, respectively, via the NSCT method as a first step. The low-frequency coefficients are fused using the adaptive regional average energy rule; the highest-frequency coefficients are fused using the maximum absolute selection rule; the other high-frequency coefficients are sparsely sampled, fused using the adaptive-Gaussian regional standard deviation rule, and then recovered by employing the total variation based gradient descent recovery algorithm.Experimental results and human visual perception illustrate the effectiveness and advantages of the proposed fusion approach. The efficiency and robustness are also analyzed and discussed through different evaluation methods, such as the standard deviation, Shannon entropy, root-mean-square error, mutual information and edge-based similarity index.
