• ### Practical Poissonian-Gaussian Noise Modeling and Fitting for Single-Image Raw-Data

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):1737 - 1754
Cited by:  Papers (162)  |  Patents (7)
| | PDF (2969 KB) | HTML

We present a simple and usable noise model for the raw-data of digital imaging sensors. This signal-dependent noise model, which gives the pointwise standard-deviation of the noise as a function of the expectation of the pixel raw-data output, is composed of a Poissonian part, modeling the photon sensing, and Gaussian part, for the remaining stationary disturbances in the output data. We further e... View full abstract»

• ### Bayesian Wavelet-Based Image Denoising Using the Gauss–Hermite Expansion

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):1755 - 1771
Cited by:  Papers (22)
| | PDF (4889 KB) | HTML

The probability density functions (PDFs) of the wavelet coefficients play a key role in many wavelet-based image processing algorithms, such as denoising. The conventional PDFs usually have a limited number of parameters that are calculated from the first few moments only. Consequently, such PDFs cannot be made to fit very well with the empirical PDF of the wavelet coefficients of an image. As a r... View full abstract»

This paper presents a new technique for color enhancement in the compressed domain. The proposed technique is simple but more effective than some of the existing techniques reported earlier. The novelty lies in this case in its treatment of the chromatic components, while previous techniques treated only the luminance component. The results of all previous techniques along with that of the propose... View full abstract»

• ### Variational Bayesian Image Restoration Based on a Product of $t$-Distributions Image Prior

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):1795 - 1805
Cited by:  Papers (52)
| | PDF (1320 KB) | HTML

Image priors based on products have been recognized to offer many advantages because they allow simultaneous enforcement of multiple constraints. However, they are inconvenient for Bayesian inference because it is hard to find their normalization constant in closed form. In this paper, a new Bayesian algorithm is proposed for the image restoration problem that bypasses this difficulty. An image pr... View full abstract»

This paper proposes a face hallucination method for the reconstruction of high-resolution facial images from single-frame, low-resolution facial images. The proposed method has been derived from example-based hallucination methods and morphable face models. First, we propose a recursive error back-projection method to compensate for residual errors, and a region-based reconstruction method to pres... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):1817 - 1826
Cited by:  Papers (18)
| | PDF (5912 KB) | HTML

Super-resolution (SR) techniques produce a high-resolution image from a set of low-resolution undersampled images. In this paper, we propose a new method for super-resolution that uses sampling theory concepts to derive a noniterative SR algorithm. We first raise the issue of the validity of the data model usually assumed in SR, pointing out that it imposes a band-limited reconstructed image plus ... View full abstract»

• ### Edge-Oriented Uniform Intra Prediction

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):1827 - 1836
Cited by:  Papers (15)  |  Patents (4)
| | PDF (5670 KB) | HTML

We propose an intra prediction solution to block-based image compression. In order to adapt to local image features during intra prediction, we consider the distinct image singularities within the model of piece-wise smooth functions. With such singularities, i.e., edges in this paper, intra prediction can be performed by solving Laplace equations. Moreover, since edges exhibit spatial correlation... View full abstract»

A multidimensional incremental parsing algorithm (MDIP) for multidimensional discrete sources, as a generalization of the Lempel-Ziv coding algorithm, is investigated. It consists of three essential component schemes, maximum decimation matching, hierarchical structure of multidimensional source coding, and dictionary augmentation. As a counterpart of the longest match search in the Lempel-Ziv alg... View full abstract»

• ### Optimization of Packetization Masks for Image Coding Based on an Objective Cost Function for Desired Packet Spreading

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):1849 - 1863
Cited by:  Papers (5)
| | PDF (3846 KB) | HTML

In image communication over lossy packet networks (e.g., cell phone communication), packet loss errors lead to damaged images. Damaged images can be repaired with passive error concealment methods, which use neighboring coefficient or pixel values to estimate the missing ones. Neighboring image data should, thus, be spread over different packets. This paper presents a novel robust packetization me... View full abstract»

This paper considers the problem of high-dynamic-range (HDR) image capture using low-dynamic-range (LDR) cameras. We present three different minimal-bracketing algorithms for computing minimum-sized exposure sets bracketing of HDR scenes. Each algorithm is applicable to a different HDR-imaging scenario depending on the amount of target-scene-irradiance information and real-time image processing av... View full abstract»

In digital imaging applications, data are typically obtained via a spatial subsampling procedure implemented as a color filter array - a physical construction whereby only a single color value is measured at each pixel location. Owing to the growing ubiquity of color imaging and display devices, much recent work has focused on the implications of such arrays for subsequent digital processing, incl... View full abstract»

We introduce a graph Laplacian-based algorithm for the tomographic reconstruction of a planar object from its projections taken at random unknown directions. A Laplace-type operator is constructed on the data set of projections, and the eigenvectors of this operator reveal the projection orientations. The algorithm is shown to successfully reconstruct the Shepp-Logan phantom from its noisy project... View full abstract»

In recent years, the use of radar technology has been proposed in a wide range of subsurface imaging applications. Traditionally, linear scan trajectories are used to acquire data in most subsurface radar applications. However, novel applications, such as breast microwave imaging and wood inspection, require the use of nonlinear scan trajectories in order to adjust to the geometry of the scanned a...

Intensity inhomogeneities often occur in real-world images and may cause considerable difficulties in image segmentation. In order to overcome the difficulties caused by intensity inhomogeneities, we propose a region-based active contour model that draws upon intensity information in local regions at a controllable scale. A data fitting energy is defined in terms of a contour and two fitting funct... View full abstract»

Publication Year: 2008, Page(s):1950 - 1962
Cited by:  Papers (31)  |  Patents (1)
| | PDF (4471 KB) | HTML

We consider the problem of detecting object contours in natural images. In many cases, local luminance changes turn out to be stronger in textured areas than on object contours. Therefore, local edge features, which only look at a small neighborhood of each pixel, cannot be reliable indicators of the presence of a contour, and some global analysis is needed. We introduce a new morphological operat... View full abstract»

• ### Accurate Inversion of 3-D Transformation Fields

This correspondence addresses the inversion of 3-D transformation fields, which is a problem that typically arises in image warping problems. A topology preserving parametric B-spline-based representation of the deformation field is considered. Topology preservation ensures that the transformation is a one-to-one mapping and consequently that it is invertible. Inverting such transformation fields ... View full abstract»
