基于偏振测量的雾天图像场景分割

现有场景分割方法主要依赖于图像亮度、颜色和纹理等特征,然而在雾天图像中提取这些特征将变得困难且不稳定.基于此本文提出了适用于雾天图像场景分割的特征矢量,以及相应的特征提取算法.特征矢量由目标偏振度、深度和颜色三部分组成.特征提取算法分别为:用去相关的方法从图像偏振度分离出大气偏振度和目标偏振度;根据雾天退化模型和雾天图像偏振表示形式推导出场景深度信息;利用两幅偏振图像求出非偏振彩色图像,从而得到场景的颜色信息.将这些特征构成的特征矢量用于基于图的分割算法中,并从两个方面比较了仅使用颜色特征和使用本文特征矢量的分割结果.最后得出结论:对于雾天图像而言,这些特征比通常的颜色特征更加有效和鲁棒.     

Optical encryption of gray-level image using on-axis and 2-f digital holography with two-step phase-shifting method

In this paper we propose an encryption/decryption technique of gray-level image information using an on-axis 2-f digital holographic optical encrypting system with two-step phase-shifting method. This technique reduces the number of holograms in phase-shifting digital holography and minimizes the setup of the encryption system more than multistep phase-shifting technique. We are able to get the complete decrypted image by controlling the K-ratio which is defined as the reference beam intensity versus the object beam intensity. We remove the DC-term of the phase-shifting digital hologram to reconstruct and decrypt the original image information. Simulation results show that the proposed method can be used for encryption and decryption of a 256 gray-level image. Also, the result shows some errors of the decrypted image according to K-ratio.     

大豆冠层多光谱图像提取方法

为解决大豆冠层在近地端的多光谱图像边缘灰度不均,目标与背景之间灰度差别小,难以准确高效地获取大豆冠层目标区域的难题,将多光谱成像处理技术与经典图像分割方法有机融合,提出基于多光谱图像处理技术的大豆冠层提取方法。以东北大豆为对象,通过Sequoia多光谱相机采集绿光、近红外、红光、红边和可见光五类大豆多光谱图像,采用高斯平滑滤波法对原始大豆多光谱图像进行预处理,分析多光谱图像中大豆冠层和背景的灰度直方图分布特性,在此基础上利用迭代法、Otsu法和局部阈值法提取原大豆多光谱图像中冠层区域,并以图像形态学开运算处理细化和扩张背景,避免图像区域内干扰噪声对大豆冠层识别效果的影响,同时以有效分割率、过分割率、欠分割率、信息熵以及运行时间等为监督指标,对大豆冠层多光谱图像识别模型进行效果评价。大豆冠层识别模型中迭代法可以有效分割近红外和可见光大豆冠层图像,有效分割率分别为97.81%和87.99%,对绿光、红光和红边大豆冠层图像分割效果较差,有效分割率低于70%;Otsu法和局部阈值法可以有效分割除红光波段的其余四种多光谱大豆冠层图像,且有效分割率均在82%以上;三种算法对红光大豆冠层图像的有效分割率均低于20%,未达到较好效果。在原始多光谱图像中应用迭代法、Otsu法和局部阈值法提取大豆冠层图像与标准图像的信息熵平均值波动幅度分别为：0.120 1,0.054 7和0.059 8,其中Otsu法和局部阈值法较小,表明了对于大豆冠层多光谱图像识别中两种算法的有效性。该算法中Otsu法和局部阈值法均可以有效提取绿光、近红外、红边和可见光等多光谱的大豆冠层图像,二者较为完整地保留了大豆冠层信息,其中Otsu法实时性能较局部阈值法更好。该成果为提取农作物冠层多光谱图像提供理论依据和技术借鉴。

Segmentation of holographic images using the level set method

Image segmentation, which is to distinguish objects from background, has played an important role in holographic image processing. In this work, we propose a technique that uses the combination of rough segmentation and the level set methods for segmentation of holographic images with zero-order diffraction interference. To improve the image quality, we eliminate the interference of zero-order diffraction in digital holography using Sobel differential gradient algorithm based on digital image processing. After reconstruction, the rough segmentation including intensity transformations and Morphology methods is applied to acquire the rough contour of the reconstruction image. Finally, we adopt level set methods to smooth the object contour and improve its accuracy. Segmentation results for objects in holographic images are presented.     

A New Algorithm for Digital Image Encryption Based on Chaos Theory

In recent decades, image encryption, as one of the significant information security fields, has attracted many researchers and scientists. However, several studies have been performed with different methods, and novel and useful algorithms have been suggested to improve secure image encryption schemes. Nowadays, chaotic methods have been found in diverse fields, such as the design of cryptosystems and image encryption. Chaotic methods-based digital image encryptions are a novel image encryption method. This technique uses random chaos sequences for encrypting images, and it is a highly-secured and fast method for image encryption. Limited accuracy is one of the disadvantages of this technique. This paper researches the chaos sequence and wavelet transform value to find gaps. Thus, a novel technique was proposed for digital image encryption and improved previous algorithms. The technique is run in MATLAB, and a comparison is made in terms of various performance metrics such as the Number of Pixels Change Rate (NPCR), Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Correlation coefficient, and Unified Average Changing Intensity (UACI). The simulation and theoretical analysis indicate the proposed scheme’s effectiveness and show that this technique is a suitable choice for actual image encryption.     

Defects’ geometric feature recognition based on infrared image edge detection

Edge detection is an important technology in image segmentation, feature extraction and other digital image processing areas. Boundary contains a wealth of information in the image, so to extract defects’ edges in infrared images effectively enables the identification of defects’ geometric features. This paper analyzed the detection effect of classic edge detection operators, and proposed fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering-Canny operator algorithm to achieve defects’ edges in the infrared images. Results show that the proposed algorithm has better effect than the classic edge detection operators, which can identify the defects’ geometric feature much more completely and clearly. The defects’ diameters have been calculated based on the image edge detection results.     

Context dependent graph-based method for laser cladding image thresholding

For segmentation method to be useful it must be fast, easy to use, and produce high quality segmentations, but few algorithms can offer this in various conditions and applications. In this paper, we propose a context dependent graph-based method for transition region extraction and thresholding. The graph-based approach is introduced into image thresholding, and context dependent graph is constructed from a given image, which can adaptively extract the pixel context and shape information because of the scalable neighborhood. Then an edge weight function is defined as the measure of possible transition pixels, and a robust fully automatic scheme for the optimal threshold is also presented. The proposed approach is validated both quantitatively and qualitatively. Compared with the traditional state-of-art algorithms on synthetic and real images, as well as laser cladding images, the experimental results suggest that the new proposal is efficient and effective.     

A Hybrid Preaching Optimization Algorithm Based on Kapur Entropy for Multilevel Thresholding Color Image Segmentation

Multilevel thresholding segmentation of color images plays an important role in many fields. The pivotal procedure of this technique is determining the specific threshold of the images. In this paper, a hybrid preaching optimization algorithm (HPOA) for color image segmentation is proposed. Firstly, the evolutionary state strategy is adopted to evaluate the evolutionary factors in each iteration. With the introduction of the evolutionary state, the proposed algorithm has more balanced exploration-exploitation compared with the original POA. Secondly, in order to prevent premature convergence, a randomly occurring time-delay is introduced into HPOA in a distributed manner. The expression of the time-delay is inspired by particle swarm optimization and reflects the history of previous personal optimum and global optimum. To better verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, eight well-known benchmark functions are employed to evaluate HPOA. In the interim, seven state-of-the-art algorithms are utilized to compare with HPOA in the terms of accuracy, convergence, and statistical analysis. On this basis, an excellent multilevel thresholding image segmentation method is proposed in this paper. Finally, to further illustrate the potential, experiments are respectively conducted on three different groups of Berkeley images. The quality of a segmented image is evaluated by an array of metrics including feature similarity index (FSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), structural similarity index (SSIM), and Kapur entropy values. The experimental results reveal that the proposed method significantly outperforms other algorithms and has remarkable and promising performance for multilevel thresholding color image segmentation.

An energy minimization method for MS lesion segmentation from T1-w and FLAIR images

In this paper, we extend the multiplicative intrinsic component optimization (MICO) algorithm to multichannel MR image segmentation, with focus on segmentation of multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions. The MICO algorithm was originally proposed by Li et al. in Ref. [1] for normal brain tissue segmentation and intensity inhomogeneity correction of a single channel MR image, which exhibits desirable advantages over other methods for MR image segmentation and intensity inhomogeneity correction in terms of segmentation accuracy and robustness. In this paper, we extend the MICO algorithm to multi-channel MR image segmentation and enable the segmentation of MS lesions. We assign different weights for different channels to control the impact of each channel. The weighted channels allow the enhancement of the impact of the FLAIR image on the segmentation of MS lesions by assigning a larger weight to the FLAIR image channel than the other channels. With the inherent mechanism of estimation of the bias field, our method is able to deal with the intensity inhomogeneity in the input multi-channel MR images. In the application of our method, we only use T1-w and FLAIR images as the input two channel MR images. Experimental results show promising result of our method.
