In this paper the scanline optimization used for stereo matching, is revisited. In order to improve the performance of this semi-global technique, a new criterion to check depth discontinuity, is introduced. This criterion is defined according to the mean-shift-based image segmentation result. Additionally, this work proposes the employment of a pixel dissimilarity metric for the computation of the cost term, which is then provided to the guided image filter approach to estimate the initial cost volume. The algorithm is tested on the four images of the online Middlebury stereo evaluation benchmark. Moreover, it is tested on 27 additional Middlebury stereo pairs for assessing thoroughly its performance. The extended comparison verifies the efficiency of this work.

Dictionary learning for sparse representation has been an active topic in the field of image processing. Most existing dictionary learning schemes focus on the representation ability of the learned dictionary. However, according to the theory of compressive sensing, the mutual incoherence of the dictionary is of crucial role in the sparse coding. Thus incoherent dictionary is desirable to improve the performance of sparse representation based image restoration. In this paper, we propose a new incoherent dictionary learning model that minimizes the representation error and the mutual incoherence by incorporating the constraint of mutual incoherence into the dictionary update model. The optimal incoherent dictionary is achieved by seeking an optimization solution. An efficient algorithm is developed to solve the optimization problem iteratively. Experimental results on image denoising demonstrate that the proposed scheme achieves better recovery quality and converges faster than K-SVD while keeping lower computation complexity.
稀疏表示的字典学习一直是图像处理领域的一个活跃课题。大多数现有的字典学习方案关注的是学习到的字典的表示能力。然而,根据压缩感知理论,字典的相互不相干性在稀疏编码中起着至关重要的作用。因此,非相干字典是提高基于稀疏表示的图像恢复性能的理想方法。在本文中,我们提出了一种新的非相干字典学习模型,该模型通过在字典更新模型中加入相互不相干的约束来最小化表示误差和相互不相干。通过寻找最优解来获得最优的非相干字典。提出了一种迭代求解优化问题的有效算法。图像去噪实验结果表明,该方法在保持较低的计算复杂度的同时,取得了比K-SVD更好的恢复质量和更快的收敛速度。

Capturing depth and reflectivity images at low light levels from active illumination of a scene has wide-ranging applications. Conventionally, even with single-photon detectors, hundreds of photon detections are needed at each pixel to mitigate Poisson noise. We introduce a robust method for estimating depth and reflectivity using on the order of 1 detected photon per pixel averaged over the scene. Our computational imager combines physically accurate single-photon counting statistics with exploitation of the spatial correlations present in real-world reflectivity and 3D structure. Experiments conducted in the presence of strong background light demonstrate that our computational imager is able to accurately recover scene depth and reflectivity, while traditional maximum likelihood-based imaging methods lead to estimates that are highly noisy. Our framework increases photon efficiency 100-fold over traditional processing and thus will be useful for rapid, low-power, and noise-tolerant active optical imaging.
从场景的主动照明中捕获低光照水平下的深度和反射率图像具有广泛的应用。传统上,即使使用单光子探测器,也需要在每个像素处进行数百个光子探测以减轻泊松噪声。我们介绍了一种鲁棒的方法来估计深度和反射率,使用在场景上平均每像素1个检测光子的顺序。我们的计算成像仪结合了物理上精确的单光子计数统计数据,利用了现实世界反射率和3D结构中的空间相关性。在强背景光下进行的实验表明,我们的计算成像仪能够准确地恢复场景深度和反射率,而传统的基于最大似然的成像方法会导致高度噪声的估计。我们的框架将光子效率提高到传统处理的100倍,因此将有助于快速,低功耗和耐噪声的主动光学成像。

Shape from silhouette consensus and photo-consistency 形状从轮廓一致和照片一致性
Pub Date : 2014-10-01 DOI: 10.1109/ICIP.2014.7025980
G. Haro
We propose a 3D reconstruction algorithm based on silhouettes and color images. It is robust to inconsistent silhouettes, often common in real applications due to occlusions, errors in the background subtraction, noise or even calibration errors. The recovery of the shape that best fits the available data is formulated as a continuous energy minimization problem. The energy is based on the error between the silhouettes and the shape plus a regularization term based on a photo-consistency measure that places the surface at photo-consistent locations. The visibility is modeled as a function of the shape. The proposed photo-consistency measure takes visibility into account, although the presented variational framework can use different photo-consistency computations.
提出了一种基于轮廓和彩色图像的三维重建算法。它对不一致的轮廓具有鲁棒性,通常在实际应用中由于遮挡,背景减去错误,噪声甚至校准错误而常见。最适合现有数据的形状的恢复被表述为一个连续的能量最小化问题。能量是基于轮廓和形状之间的误差加上一个基于光一致性测量的正则化项,该测量将表面置于光一致性位置。可见性被建模为形状的函数。尽管所提出的变分框架可以使用不同的光一致性计算,但所提出的光一致性度量考虑了可见性。

An energy based planar depth representation is proposed to obtain an efficient depth compression tool for 3DV applications. The proposed segmentation-based depth compression approach is designed by reflecting the rate-distortion tradeoff into the energy terms. A PEARL based algorithm is developed to obtain the planar approximations of depth images. Lastly depth reconstruction and novel view rendering results of the proposal compared with the state-of-the-art methods. The experiments show that the planar approach performs superior rendering results than JPEG 2000 and HEVC standards.

Directed interactivity of large-scale brain networks: Introducing a new method for estimating resting-state effective connectivity MRI 大规模脑网络的定向交互:介绍一种估计静息状态有效连接MRI的新方法

Resting-state functional MRI (rs fMRI) is widely used to non-invasively study human brain networks. Network functional connectivity is estimated by calculating the standard correlation between blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signals in specific regions of interests (ROIs). However, standard correlation fails to characterize the causality and the direction of information flow between regions, which are important factors in characterizing a network. Here, we use causal linear time-invariant models, with the impulse response duration estimated by Information Criteria, to describe the effective connectivity between ROIs. To do so, we replace the standard correlation between BOLD signals with a correlation between a BOLD signal and a prediction via the model of that BOLD signal. Prediction correlation is then used in a network analysis similar to that used with standard correlation. Our results include the causality information, the direction of information flow, and the possibility of delays in information flow. This approach replicates the local and distributed network architecture of the human brain previously observed with standard correlations, as well as providing novel insight into the directed interactivity of regions comprising these networks.
静息状态功能MRI (rs fMRI)被广泛应用于对人脑网络的无创研究。通过计算特定兴趣区域(roi)中血氧水平依赖(BOLD)信号之间的标准相关性来估计网络功能连通性。然而,标准相关性不能表征区域间的因果关系和信息流的方向,而这是表征网络的重要因素。在这里,我们使用因果线性时不变模型,通过信息准则估计脉冲响应持续时间,来描述roi之间的有效连通性。为此,我们将BOLD信号之间的标准相关性替换为BOLD信号与通过该BOLD信号模型进行的预测之间的相关性。然后在网络分析中使用预测相关性,类似于使用标准相关性。我们的结果包括因果关系信息、信息流方向和信息流延迟的可能性。这种方法复制了先前用标准相关性观察到的人类大脑的局部和分布式网络架构,并为组成这些网络的区域的定向交互提供了新的见解。

This paper describes a unique method for tubular object visualization. The method involves rendering the exterior of the tube invisible while keeping the interior visible. This “One-sided-transparency” technique renders a more complete view of the tube's interior. When applied to virtual colonoscopy (VC), it compares favorably to existing methods. It provides more complete images, reduces computational time, and reduces memory requirements while preserving VCs benefits for patients and practitioners. The approach also has various potential uses outside of VC.

Contrary to the popular belief of treating speckle related pixels as noise and filtering an ultrasound image for speckle noise removal, the practical importance and use of these pixels in performing a multi-organ segmentation of the thyroid gland is studied in this research work. In this work, speckle related pixels are classified into three echogenic levels and then used to segment an ultrasound image of the thyroid gland into the trachea, carotid, muscles and thyroid. Novel techniques are introduced to estimate the anterior boundaries of the thyroid gland using low pass filtered intensity gradients of the hyperechoic speckle pixels in transverse and longitudinal ultrasound scans, respectively. An energy functional similar to active contour models is defined to segment that carotid artery using hypoechoic speckle pixels. The proposed technique was executed on 88 images of the thyroid gland. Clinical significance of using speckles to segment is determined by validating on 32 images of the thyroid gland by measuring the overlap with the Ground Truth segmentation obtained from two expert doctors using Dice coefficient as the overlap measure.

An efficient method for human pointing estimation for robot interaction 机器人交互中人类指向估计的一种有效方法
Pub Date : 2014-10-01 DOI: 10.1109/ICIP.2014.7025309

In this paper, we propose an efficient calibration method to estimate the pointing direction via a human pointing gesture to facilitate robot interaction. The ways in which pointing gestures are used by humans to indicate an object are individually diverse. In addition, people do not always point at the object carefully, which means there is a divergence between the line from the eye to the tip of the index finger and the line of sight. Hence, we focus on adapting to these individual ways of pointing to improve the accuracy of target object identification by means of an effective calibration process. We model these individual ways as two offsets, the horizontal offset and the vertical offset. After locating the head and fingertip positions, we learn these offsets for each individual through a training process with the person pointing at the camera. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms other conventional head-hand, head-fingertip, and eye-fingertip-based pointing recognition methods.
在本文中,我们提出了一种有效的校准方法,通过人类指向手势来估计指向方向,以方便机器人交互。人类使用指向手势来指示物体的方式各不相同。此外,人们并不总是小心地指向物体,这意味着从眼睛到食指指尖的线与视线之间存在分歧。因此,我们的重点是适应这些不同的指向方式,通过有效的校准过程来提高目标物体识别的精度。我们将这些单独的方式建模为两种偏移,水平偏移和垂直偏移。在定位头部和指尖位置后,我们通过与指向相机的人的训练过程来学习每个人的这些偏移量。实验结果表明,该方法优于其他传统的基于头-手、头-指尖和眼-指尖的指向识别方法。

In this paper, we propose a graph cuts (GC) based probability propagation approach to automatically extract road network from complex remote sensing images. First, the support vector machine (SVM) classifier with a sigmoid model is applied to assign each pixel a posterior probability of being labelled as road class, which avoids the weaknesses of hard labels in general SVM. Then a GC based probability propagation algorithm is employed to keep the extracted road results smooth and coherent, which can reduce the connections between roads and road-like objects. Finally, a road-geometrical prior is considered to refine the extraction result, so that the non-road objects in images can be removed. Experimental results on two remote sensing image datasets indicate the validity and effectiveness of our method by comparing with two other approaches.
本文提出了一种基于图割(GC)概率传播的复杂遥感影像道路网络自动提取方法。首先,采用基于s型模型的支持向量机(SVM)分类器为每个像素点分配被标记为道路类的后验概率,避免了一般支持向量机硬标记的缺点;然后采用基于GC的概率传播算法,使提取的道路结果保持平滑一致,减少道路与类道路物体之间的联系;最后,利用道路几何先验对提取结果进行细化,去除图像中的非道路目标。在两个遥感影像数据集上的实验结果与其他两种方法进行了比较,验证了该方法的有效性。
