摘要： Outdoor haze has adverse impact on outdoor image quality,including contrast loss and poor visibility.In this paper,a novel dehazing algorithm based on the decomposition strategy is proposed.It combines the advantages of the two-dimensional variational mode decomposition(2DVMD)algorithm and dark channel prior.The original hazy image is adaptively decom-posed into low-frequency and high-frequency images according to the image frequency band by using the 2DVMD algorithm.The low-frequency image is dehazed by using the improved dark channel prior,and then fused with the high-frequency image.Furthermore,we optimize the atmospheric light and transmit-tance estimation method to obtain a defogging effect with richer details and stronger contrast.The proposed algorithm is com-pared with the existing advanced algorithms.Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in comparison with the state-of-the-art algorithms.

摘要： In this research, the denoising of speckled SAR image has been done with fuzzy filters (ATMED, TMED, ATMAV & TMAV). SAR image or Synthetic Aperture Radar image consists of the informatics of ISW (Internal solitary waves). A new technique has been proposed which preserved the edge pixels by fuzzy edge detection method and then altered with the filtered image-pixels by fuzzy filtration for getting the denoised image. The comparative result shows that the proposed filter performs better than the other filtered results in terms of PSNR (41.61 dB), MAE (1.47), MSE (4.54) for TMAVxAPE & SSIM (81%) for ATMEDwAPE. The proposed method in this research shows better SSI (Spackle Suppression Index) value. Therefore the experimental result illustrates that the suggested fuzzy filter is much more capable of simultaneously protecting edges and suppressing speckle noise. This research will be beneficial to remove spackle noise from SAR images and can be used for remote sensing and mapping of surface area of earth.

摘要： In low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)environments,the traditional radar emitter recognition(RER)method struggles to recognize multiple radar emitter signals in parallel.This paper proposes a multi-label classification and recognition method for multiple radar-emitter modulation types based on a residual network.This method can quickly perform parallel classification and recognition of multi-modulation radar time-domain aliasing signals under low SNRs.First,we perform time-frequency analysis on the received signal to extract the normalized time-frequency image through the short-time Fourier transform(STFT).The time-frequency distribution image is then denoised using a deep normalized convolutional neural network(DNCNN).Secondly,the multi-label classification and recognition model for multi-modulation radar emitter time-domain aliasing signals is established,and learning the characteristics of radar signal time-frequency distribution image dataset to achieve the purpose of training model.Finally,time-frequency image is recognized and classified through the model,thus completing the automatic classification and recognition of the time-domain aliasing signal.Simulation results show that the proposed method can classify and recognize radar emitter signals of different modulation types in parallel under low SNRs.

摘要： Plant recognition has great potential in forestry research and management.A new method combined back propagation neural network and radial basis function neural network to identify tree species using a few features and samples.The process was carried out in three steps:image pretreatment,feature extraction,and leaf recognition.In the image pretreatment processing,an image segmentation method based on hue,saturation and value color space and connected component labeling was presented,which can obtain the complete leaf image without veins and back-ground.The BP-RBF hybrid neural network was used to test the influence of shape and texture on species recogni-tion.The recognition accuracy of different classifiers was used to compare classification performance.The accuracy of the BP-RBF hybrid neural network using nine dimensional features was 96.2%,highest among all the classifiers.

摘要： Spatial resolution and image-processing methods for full-field X-ray fluorescence(FF-XRF)imaging using X-ray pinhole cameras were studied using Geant4simulations with different geometries and algorithms for image reconstruction.The main objectives were:(1)calculating the quantum efficiency curves of specific cameras,(2)studying the relationships between the spatial resolution and the pinhole diameter,magnification,and camera binning value,and(3)comparing image-processing methods for pinhole camera systems.Several results were obtained using a point and plane source as the X-ray fluorescence emitter and an array of 100×100 silicon pixel detectors as the X-ray camera.The quantum efficiency of a back-illuminated deep depletion(BI-DD)structure was above 30%for the XRF energies in the 0.8–9 keV range,with the maximum of 93.7%at 4 keV.The best spatial resolution of the pinhole camera was 24.7μm and 31.3 lp/mm when measured using the profile function of the point source,with the diameter of 20μm,magnification of 3.16,and camera bin of 1.A blind deconvolution algorithm with Gaussian filtering performed better than the Wiener filter and Richardson iterative methods on FF-XRF images,with the signal-to-noise ratio of 7.81 dB and improved signalto-noise ratio of 7.24 dB at the diameter of 120μm,magnification of 1.0,and camera bin of 1.

摘要： The three-dimensional(3D)model is of great significance to analyze the performance of nonwovens.However,the existing modelling methods could not reconstruct the 3D structure of nonwovens at low cost.A new method based on deep learning was proposed to reconstruct 3D models of nonwovens from multi-focus images.A convolutional neural network was trained to extract clear fibers from sequence images.Image processing algorithms were used to obtain the radius,the central axis,and depth information of fibers from the extraction results.Based on this information,3D models were built in 3D space.Furthermore,self-developed algorithms optimized the central axis and depth of fibers,which made fibers more realistic and continuous.The method with lower cost could reconstruct 3D models of nonwovens conveniently.

摘要： Communication is a basic need of every human being to exchange thoughts and interact with the society.Acute peoples usually confab through different spoken languages,whereas deaf people cannot do so.Therefore,the Sign Language(SL)is the communication medium of such people for their conversation and interaction with the society.The SL is expressed in terms of specific gesture for every word and a gesture is consisted in a sequence of performed signs.The acute people normally observe these signs to understand the difference between single and multiple gestures for singular and plural words respectively.The signs for singular words such as I,eat,drink,home are unalike the plural words as school,cars,players.A special training is required to gain the sufficient knowledge and practice so that people can differentiate and understand every gesture/sign appropriately.Innumerable researches have been performed to articulate the computer-based solution to understand the single gesture with the help of a single hand enumeration.The complete understanding of such communications are possible only with the help of this differentiation of gestures in computer-based solution of SL to cope with the real world environment.Hence,there is still a demand for specific environment to automate such a communication solution to interact with such type of special people.This research focuses on facilitating the deaf community by capturing the gestures in video format and then mapping and differentiating as single or multiple gestures used in words.Finally,these are converted into the respective words/sentences within a reasonable time.This provide a real time solution for the deaf people to communicate and interact with the society.

摘要： The processor is greatly hampered by the large dataset of picture or multimedia data.The logic of approximation hardware is moving in the direction of multimedia processing with a given amount of acceptable mistake.This study proposes various higher-order approximate counter-based compressor(CBC)using input shuffled 6:3 CBC.In the Wallace multiplier using a CBC is a significant factor in partial product reduction.So the design of 10-4,11-4,12-4,13-4 and 14-4 CBC are proposed in this paper using an input shuffled 6:3 compressor to attain two stage multiplications.The input shuffling aims to reduce the output combination of the 6:3 compressor from 64 to 27.Design of 15-4,10-4,9-4,and 7-3 CBCs are performed using the proposed 6:3 compressor and the results obtained are compared with the existing models.These existing models are constructed using multiplexers and 5-3 CBC.When compared to input shuffled 5-3 the proposed 6:3 compressor shows better results in terms of area,power and delay.An approximation is performed on the 6:3 compressor to further reduce the computational energy of the system which is optimal for multimedia applications.The major contribution of this work is the development of two stage multiplier using various proposed CBC.All designs of the approximate compressor(AC)and true compressor(TC)are analysed with 8 ×8 and 16 × 16 imagemultiplication.The proposed multipliers also provide adequate levels of accuracy,according to the MATLAB simulations,in addition to greater hardware efficiency.As the result approximate circuits over image processing shows the stunning performance in many deep learning network in the current research which is only oriented to multimedia.

摘要： An ideal printed circuit board(PCB)defect inspection system can detect defects and classify PCB defect types.Existing defect inspection technologies can identify defects but fail to classify all PCB defect types.This research thus proposes an algorithmic scheme that can detect and categorize all 14-known PCB defect types.In the proposed algorithmic scheme,fuzzy cmeans clustering is used for image segmentation via image subtraction prior to defect detection.Arithmetic and logic operations,the circle hough transform(CHT),morphological reconstruction(MR),and connected component labeling(CCL)are used in defect classification.The algorithmic scheme achieves 100%defect detection and 99.05%defect classification accuracies.The novelty of this research lies in the concurrent use of CHT,MR,and CCL algorithms to accurately detect and classify all 14-known PCB defect types and determine the defect characteristics such as the location,area,and nature of defects.This information is helpful in electronic parts manufacturing for finding the root causes of PCB defects and appropriately adjusting the manufacturing process.Moreover,the algorithmic scheme can be integrated into machine vision to streamline the manufacturing process,improve the PCB quality,and lower the production cost.

摘要： This paper presents a novel integrated method for interactive characterization of fracture spacing in rock tunnel sections.The main procedure includes four steps:(1)Automatic extraction of fracture traces,(2)digitization of trace maps,(3)disconnection and grouping of traces,and(4)interactive measurement of fracture set spacing,total spacing,and surface rock quality designation(S-RQD)value.To evaluate the performance of the proposed method,sample images were obtained by employing a photogrammetrybased scheme in tunnel faces.Experiments were then conducted to determine the optimal parameter values(i.e.distance threshold,angle threshold,and number of fracture trace grouping)for characterizing rock fracture spacing.By applying the identified optimal parameters involved in the model,the proposed method could lead to excellent qualitative results to a new tunnel face.To perform a quantitative analysis,three methods(i.e.field,straightening,and the proposed method)were employed in the same study and comparisons were made.The proposed method agrees well with the field measurement in terms of the maximum and average values of measured spacing distribution.Overall,the proposed method has reasonably good accuracy and interactive advantage for estimating the ultimate fracture spacing and S-RQD.It can be a possible extension of existing methods for fracture spacing characterization for two-dimensional(2D)rock tunnel faces.
