Image fusion through local feature extraction by using multi-scale top-hat by reconstruction operators

The purpose of image fusion is to combine useful image features of different original images into the final fusion image, which will produce one useful result image for different applications. One of the main difficulties of image fusion is extracting useful image features of different original images. In some cases, useful image features are local image features of the whole image. To efficiently extract local image features and produce an efficient fusion result, an image fusion algorithm based on the extracted local image features by using multi-scale top-hat by reconstruction operators is proposed in this paper. Firstly, multi-scale local feature extraction using multi-scale top-hat by reconstruction operators is discussed. Then, based on the extracted multi-scale local features of different original images, the useful image features for image fusion are constructed. Finally, the constructed useful image features for image fusion are combined into the final fusion image. Experimental results on different types of images show that, the proposed algorithm performs well for image fusion.

为了提高像移测量精度,针对机载航空摆扫相机提出一种坐标变换法和图像相关法相结合的像移测量方法。利用坐标变换法得到初始像移速度,利用图像联合变换相关法对像移速度残差进行补偿。联合图像通过一个面阵CCD获得,该面阵CCD放置在相机焦平面上并与成像线阵TDI CCD平行,其输出的当前图像与参考图像合并构成联合图像进行二维空间联合变换相关运算,得到像移修正矢量。对该矢量分别在相机摆扫方向和载机飞行方向进行分解,从而得到摆扫像移和前向像移的修正量。仿真实验结果表明,在输入图像信噪比为4 dB时,像移测量误差在0.1 pixel以内。

Interlaced scan CCD image motion deblur for space-variant motion blurs

Motion blur is caused by camera shakes or object motions during exposure when the shutter speed is relatively slow. As for the object motion blur, the degradation of a CCD image is often characterized by space-variant motion blurs, since objects are often moving in different directions at different speeds. But most image restorations for space-variant motion blurs are addressed only for progressive scan CCD images. To address the space-variant image restorations for interlaced scan images, we propose a novel image restoration scheme. First, one interlaced scan image frame is required, which is divided into the odd field and the even field images. These two field images are further segmented into rectangular blocks. The motion vectors are computed in these rectangular blocks using an efficient block matching algorithm. Second, image restoration is performed in these rectangular blocks using a constrained least square algorithm in the odd or even field image, which can both preserve edge structures and remove noises. Our novel scheme is illustrated by restoring a space-variant blurred moving boat image and a synthetic blurred image.

Practical image hiding method using a phase wrapping rule and real-valued decoding key

We propose a practical image hiding method using phase wrapping and real-valued decoding key. A zero-padded original image, multiplied with a random-phase pattern, is Fourier transformed and its real-valued data denotes an encoded image in the embedding process. The encoded image is divided into two phase-encoded random patterns which are generated based on the phase wrapping rule. The imaginary part and the real part of these phase-encoded random patterns are used as a hidden image and a decoding key, respectively. A host image is then made from the linear superposition of the weighted hidden image and a cover image. The original image is simply obtained by the inverse-Fourier transform of the product of the host image and the decoding key in the reconstruction process. The embedding process and the reconstruction process are performed digitally and optically, respectively. Computer simulation and an optical experiment are shown in support of the proposed method.

现有的各类彩色图像增强方法,主要用于对光照不均匀或弱光条件下已获取的彩色图像进行直接增强,而低照度彩色成像系统获取的彩色图像是由单独采集的三基色图像融合而成。为此提出了基于低照度三基色图像去噪及融合彩色图像增强方法。利用小波变换对低照度条件下独立采集的三基色图像进行去噪;然后将去噪后图像融合成彩色图像,将彩色图像由RGB颜色空间转换为HSV颜色空间;在HSV空间对V进行MSR增强,再对增强后的图像进行S调整;最后再将其转换回RGB颜色空间。采用客观评价方法对选取的去噪增强后图像进行了评价。结果表明:经过去噪和增强后的彩色图像在均值、方差和熵3项指标上均优于三基色直接融合的彩色图像,平均提高幅度为均值11.37%、方差8.46%、信息熵0.44%。该方法可移植到低照度彩色成像系统中,对成像质量的提升具有指导意义。     

Image restoration for interlaced scan CCD image with space-variant motion blurs

When the speeds of objects in a scene exceed the temporal resolution of the camera shutter, motion blurs will occur. Since objects are often moving in different directions at different speeds, the degradation of a CCD image is often characterized by space-variant motion blurs. Image restoration algorithms for space-variant motion blurs are available for progressive scan CCD images, but not for interlaced scan images. To address the space-variant image restoration for interlaced scan images, a novel three-step image restoration scheme is proposed. Firstly, one interlaced scan image is divided into odd field and even field images. Secondly, these two field images are further segmented into rectangular blocks and the motion vectors are computed based on these rectangular blocks using an efficient block matching algorithm. Thirdly, image restoration is performed using a blind deconvolution algorithm in the odd or even field image. The final restored image is obtained by combining the restored odd and even field images. The scheme is illustrated by restoring a space-variant blurred moving vehicle image and a synthetic blurred image.

No-reference image quality assessment based on noise,blurring and blocking effect

Since existing no-reference image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms are not consistent with subjective assessment, a novel no-reference image quality assessment method is proposed by introducing three types of image distortion, including noise, blur degree and blocking effects. Firstly, the standard deviation of image noise is estimated by modified wavelet medium estimation. Secondly, the blur degree of image is obtained by counting edge pixel points. Thirdly, blocking effect is represented by characteristics of image pixel blocks. Finally, the assessment model is established by combining these three distortion types. Combining the differential mean opinion scores (DMOS) provided in the LIVE IQA database, the weighting coefficients are obtained. The experimental results indicate that these evaluation values of this algorithm not only agree with PSNR in objective assessment, but also are consistent with the DMOS in subjective assessment.
