基于Harris角点检测器的指纹细节点提取算法

提出了一种基于Harris角点检测器的指纹细节点提取算法。先将Harris角点检测器应用于增强后的指纹图像,检测出指纹的细节点和曲率变化大的点,随后进行后处理操作。在后处理操作中,根据细节点的空间分布特征,删除虚假点。使用细节点的邻域灰度信息,判定细节点的类型。利用细节点的原始方向以及得到的类型,确定细节点的精确方向。与经典的细节点提取算法相比,不需要对指纹图像进行二值化、细化,直接在灰度指纹图像当中提取细节点,大大减少了计算时间,有效地提高了效率。使用FVC2002指纹数据库测试,结果表明,该算法可靠、快速,适合实际应用。

Novel infrared image enhancement technology based on the frequency compensation approach

A novel infrared image enhancement method has been proposed in this paper. Our aim is to develop a detail enhancement method which is focused on the frequency feature of the image. The proposed method is following the most popular strategy of enhancing the infrared images nowadays, but concentrating on the frequency domain. Firstly, the original image is separated by a guided image filter into detail layer and the base layer. Quite unlike the traditional methods, we use the guided image filter to eliminate most of the noise and weak signal of the scenario. Then, by a designed iteration process, the higher frequency of the scenario will be calculated back and add to the detail layer. The noise will not be enhanced because the iteration is only focused on the leftover scenario frequency. We run many tests on the raw data captured by the 320 × 256 HgCdTe cooled thermal imager, and make a comparison between our approach with the previous method of bilateral filtering digital detail enhancement and guided image filtering digital detail enhancement. Figures and analytical data show that our method is better than the previous proposed researches. Our method could effectively process the infrared image with less noise and artifacts, which has potential applications in testing, manufacturing, chemical imaging, night vision, and surveillance security.

一种改进的微波滤波器调试方法

传统滤波器诊断调试方法通过提取滤波器等效电路参数与理想参数对比来决定调试方向,并未考虑调谐元件之间的相互耦合关系且未考虑调试幅度的大小,因而调试效率低下。为解决这一问题,提出一种基于遗传算法与渐进空间映射算法相结合的计算机辅助调试方法。利用遗传算法优化得到滤波器输入输出端的相移长度,去除相移后利用柯西法对滤波器进行参数提取,通过渐进空间映射算法确定滤波器调谐元件的调试方向与幅度,从而使微波滤波器快速达标。采用该方法对四阶交叉耦合滤波器进行调试,仅通过4次迭代即可使滤波器达标,验证了该提出方法的有效性与准确性。

Tuneable edge enhancement filters for optical correlation

Difference of Gaussian (DOG) filters, a form of wavelet filter, are an extremely useful preprocessing tool for the enhancement of image edge data. The DOG filter is highly tuneable by control of the standard deviations of its constituent Gaussian distributions. These can be used in the frequency plane of optical correlators and implemented in the form of a static non-updateable filter. This article reports on a simple optical technique using photorefractive materials whereby a filter, updateable in real time and very similar to the DOG filter, is implemented by tuning the intensity of the hologram reference wave to give enhanced modulation in a selectable frequency band. This is called a tuneable photorefractive (TPR) filter. The results of the DOG and TPR filters are compared with those of the phase-only filter and classical matched spatial filter with respect to the criteria of signal-to-noise ratio, Horner efficiency and discrimination capability.     

Palmprint recognition method based on score level fusion

Different palmprint recognition methods have different advantages. The texture- and feature-based palmprint recognition methods can well exploit the minutiae of the palmprint but are not very robust to the possible variation such as the rotation and shift of the palm. The representation-based palmprint recognition method can well take advantage of the holistic information but seems not to be able to fully exploit the minutiae of the palmprint. In this paper, we propose to fuse the competitive coding method and two-phase test sample sparse representation (TPTSR) method for palmprint recognition. As one of representation-based methods, TPTSR method takes the whole palmprint image as the input and determines the contribution of the training samples of each class in representing the test sample. TPTSR also uses the contribution to calculate the similarities between the test sample and every class. The competitive coding method is a feature-based method and is highly complementary with TPTSR. We use a weighted fusion scheme to combine the matching scores generated from TPTSR and the competitive coding method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain a very high classification accuracy and outperforms both TPTSR and the competitive coding method.     

Optimum adaptive array stochastic resonance in noisy grayscale image restoration

Considering the widespread noise interference in the two-dimensional (2D) image transmission processing, we proposed an optimal adaptive bistable array stochastic resonance (SR)-based grayscale image restoration enhancement method under low peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) environments. In this method, the Hilbert scanning is adopted to reduce the dimension of the original grayscale image. The 2D image signal is converted into a one-dimensional (1D) binary pulse amplitude modulation (BPAM) signal. Meanwhile, we use the adaptive bistable array SR module to enhance the 1D low SNR BPAM signal. In order to obtain the restored image, we transform the enhanced BPAM signal into a 2D grayscale image signal. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms the classical image restoration methods (i.e., mean filter, Wiener filter and median filter) both on the grayscale level and the PSNR of the restored image, particularly in a low PSNR scenario. Larger array size brings better image restoration effect.     

自适应红外目标特征增强算法

利用直方图均衡化和灰度变换增强算法,不能有效增强红外图像目标。鉴于此,在研究红外图像特点的基础上,提出了一种自适应红外目标特征增强算法。该算法先对红外图像进行中值滤波,滤除掉图像中的随机噪声,然后利用直方图分割将红外图像分为目标和背景2部分,通过线性加权叠加抑制背景和增强目标。实验表明,该算法不仅能够根据红外图像中目标的灰度特性自适应地选取直方图分割阈值,而且在去除噪声和增加对比度的同时还抑制了背景,达到了预期的效果。该算法尤其适用于目标和背景像素比例相近时直方图具有局域双峰特征的红外图像中目标的增强。     

Radial Hilbert transform with Laguerre-Gaussian spatial filters

We analyze the point spread function (PSF) of the image processing system for radial Hilbert transform and propose a novel spiral phase filter, called the Laguerre-Gaussian spatial filter (LGSF). Theoretical analysis and real experiments show that the LGSF possesses some advantages in comparison with the conventional spiral phase plate (SPP). For example, the PSF of the imaging system with a LGSF presents smaller suboscillations than that with the conventional SPP, which allows us to realize a radial Hilbert transform for achieving a high contrast edge enhancement with high resolution.     

倾斜入射楔形薄膜滤光片的透射光谱研究

角度调谐薄膜滤光片因较大的波长调谐特性和良好的矩形度在密集波分复用系统中得到了广泛的应用。在倾斜入射时薄膜滤光片透射光谱的透射率和半宽不仅受到入射角度的影响,还跟滤光片两端面间的非平行度即楔角的大小有关。详细分析了楔角对对滤光片透射率以及半宽的影响,发现适当的楔角和角度取向能够改善倾斜入射状态下滤光片的透射光谱特性。设计制备了楔角为0.8°的楔形薄膜角度调谐滤光片,实验结果证明保持该楔角的方向与倾斜入射角度相同时会严重的劣化透射光谱的透射率和矩形度,方向相反时则可以提高光谱的透射率以及矩形度,并使器件的波长调谐范围增大约10 nm。     

Speech enhancement based on the discrete Gabor transform and multi-notch adaptive digital filters

This paper presents a new method to speech enhancement based on time-frequency analysis and adaptive digital filtering. The proposed method for dual-channel speech enhancement was developed by tracking frequencies of corrupting signal by the discrete Gabor transform (DGT) and implementing multi-notch adaptive digital filter (MNADF) at those frequencies. Since no a priori knowledge of the noise source statistics is required this method differs from traditional speech enhancement methods. Specifically, the proposed method was applied to the case where speech quality and intelligibility deteriorate in the presence of background noise. Speech coders and automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems are designed to act on clean speech signals. Therefore, corrupted speech signals by the noise must be enhanced before their processing. The method uses a primary input containing the corrupted speech signal while a reference input containing the noise only. In this paper, we designed MNADF instead of single-notch adaptive digital filter and used DGT to track frequencies of corrupting signal because fast filtering process and fast measure of the time-dependent noise frequency are of great importance in speech enhancement process. Therefore, MNADF was implemented to take advantage of fast filtering process. Different types of noises from Noisex-92 database were used to degrade real speech signals. Objective measures, the study of the speech spectrograms and global signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), segmental SNR (segSNR), Itakura-Saito distance measure as well as subjective listing test demonstrated consistently superior enhancement performance of the proposed method over traditional speech enhancement method such as spectral subtraction. Combining MNADF and DGT, excellent speech enhancement was obtained.
