A comparison of criterion functions for fusion of multi-focus noisy images

In many practical applications, images are distorted by impulsive noise (IN) produced by image sensors and/or communication channels. This noise may cause miscalculation of sharpness values which, in turn, introduce significant errors in the results of image fusion. In this paper, conventional focus measures and frequency selective weighted median filter (FSWM) are evaluated for fusion of multi-focus images in the presence of IN. FSWM is also compared with other multi-focus fusion methods such as Laplacian Pyramid and wavelet. Experimental results are presented for several sets of images and the results show that FSWM can provide better performance than other focus measures and methods.     

Noise reduction for low-dose X-ray CT based on fuzzy logical in stationary wavelet domain

Apparent streak-like artifacts will present in reconstructed images due to excessive quantum noise in low-dose X-ray imaging process. Dealing with the noisy sinogram before a filtered back-projection (FBP) is a useful solution to solve this noise problem. In this paper, we proposed a novel noise restoration method combining wavelet and fuzzy logical technology for low-dose computed tomography (CT) sinogram. The method first utilizes stationary wavelet transform on the noisy sinogram, namely decomposes the sinogram to different resolution levels. And then, at each decomposed resolution level, a fuzzy shrinkage filter is applied to restore the noise-contaminated wavelet coefficients. Simulations were performed and indicated that the proposed method could significantly suppress noise and reduced streak-like artifacts in reconstructed images while at the same time maintaining the image sharpness.     

Composite wavelet based morphological correlation for continuous-scale-invariant pattern recognition

A composite nonlinear correlation is proposed to perform invariant recognition for the input image with continuous-scale distortions. The proposed correlation can be considered as a summation of many composite wavelet matched filters. Every matched filter consists of a linear combination of binary slices that are generated from threshold decomposition of the training images, and an adaptive wavelet filter. The adaptive wavelet is optimized to produce the sparse image features. Computer simulations are carried out to prove the scale-invariance and noise robustness of the new scheme.     

Improvement of noise filtering and image registration methods for the Pressure Sensitive Paint experiments

Image processing procedures for noise reduction and image registration in the Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) experiments are investigated. A several types of filter are examined for the removal of shot noise. An algorithm to detect a marker cell located on the model surface is proposed and an appropriate marker size is discussed. The digital processing based on the wavelet transform is effective to reduce the shot noise and to enhance the edge of the model. The algorithm to sharpen the edge of the model using wavelet transforms is developed. The results indicate that the methods developed in this study effectively remove the shot noise and correct the displacement of the model on the images taken during the wind-on.

Design of a Composite Wavelet Matched Filter Using Breeder Genetic Algorithm

We outline a method to design a composite wavelet matched filter using the breeder genetic algorithm. The composite filter consists of a linear combination of wavelet and matched filters. Breeder genetic algorithm has been used to find the optimal weighting coefficients for the wavelet and the matched filters that constitute the composite filter. For the breeder genetic algorithm, the geometric mean has been used as the crossover operator and the creep has been used as the mutation operator. The performance of the filter is tested in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise. The performance of the composite wavelet matched filter has also been compared with that of the phase only filter and the classical matched filter. The designed filter can be used in an optical correlator to separate two classes of input images for fingerprint-based user identification in security systems.     

Comparative study of pattern correlation using Mexican hat and Coiflet wavelet-based filtering

In this work, a numerical study on the pattern correlation using wavelet filters is reported. A comparative study of the correlation using the Mexican hat and Coiflets filters is presented. A Coiflet filter acts not only as a band-pass filter but as a high-pass or low-pass filter. Therefore, unlike the Mexican hat-based filter which acts only as a pass-band filter, the Coiflet-based filters allow selecting horizontal, vertical or diagonals details of the original image. Each one of the original images can be discomposed in an average image and several detail images at different levels of multiresolution. We study the numerical correlation between binary patterns using the Mexican hat filter and the first and second multiresolution level obtained by Coiflet filtering. Additionally, an analysis about the noise immunity for the Mexican hat and Coiflet filters is realized. The results show that Coiflet filters are better to identify special characteristics but perform the worst when they are used with noisy images. On the other side, the Mexican filter presents a better noise immunity but performs the worst when is used to compare special characteristics.

Statistical properties of polarization image and despeckling method by multiresolution block-matching 3D filter

The theoretical and experimental investigations on the polarization imagery system of speckle statistical characteristics and speckle removing method are researched. A method to obtain two images encoded by polarization degree with a single measurement process is proposed. A theoretical model for polarization imagery system on Müller matrix is proposed. According to modern charge coupled device (CCD) imaging characteristics, speckles are divided into two kinds, namely small speckle and big speckle. Based on this model, a speckle reduction algorithm based on a dual-tree complex wavelet transform (DTCWT) and blockmatching 3D filter (BM3D) is proposed (DTBM3D). Original laser image data transformed by logarithmic compression is decomposed by DTCWT into approximation and detail subbands. Bilateral filtering is applied to the approximation subbands, and a suited BM3D filter is applied to the detail subbands. The despeckling results show that contrast improvement index and edge preserve index outperform those of traditional methods. The researches have important reference value in research of speckle noise level and removing speckle noise.

Evaluating and predicting human detection performance of targets embedded in distorted and restored infrared images

The effects of atmospheric blur, gaussian noise distortion and Wiener filter restoration on human target detection performance is addressed in this paper. A specially designed psychophysical experiment shows significant degradation in detection performance caused by the contrast and noise limiting effects of the atmospheric blur and noise distortion. The experiment also shows that although Wiener filter restoration improves the distorted image sharpness and contrast, it amplifies the noise and does not compensate for the performance degradation caused by distortion. The paper presents a spectral analysis approach to the original, distorted and restored images, as well as an analysis of the target signal to noise ratio. Each analysis defines an alternative method for evaluating a spatial cutoff frequency that determines the restoration efficiency, which practically limits the detection performance. This frequency is then used to predict the probability of detection according to a target acquisition model and the Johnson chart. Moreover, the methods are used to determine whether noise or contrast will limit target perception. The methods were applied to the experimental infrared image database and showed good agreement with the related experimental probabilities of detection.

Simulation of basic characteristics of single-shot full-field optical coherence tomography using spatially phase-modulated reference light

For the single-shot full-field optical coherence tomography (OCT) using spatially phase-modulated reference light, the basic characteristics have been simulated. At low spatial frequencies, the OCT signal intensity is enhanced twofold owing to subtractions, and with increasing the spatial frequency, the OCT signal intensity decreases 0.636 times at half the Nyquist frequency. OCT signal intensities also depend on orientations in images. Residual noninterference components of signal intensities between adjacent uniform areas increase background noise and reduce the system sensitivity. In the reference light, the optimum phase difference between adjacent uniform areas is 180 deg. Deviations from 180 deg reduce subtracted interference components. It is important that interference intensity, noninterference components and phases between adjacent uniform areas be approximately the same to obtain the OCT image with the reduction of background noise stably.
