Impulsive noise removal from color images with morphological filtering
This paper deals with impulse noise removal from color images. The proposed
noise removal algorithm employs a novel approach with morphological filtering
for color image denoising; that is, detection of corrupted pixels and removal
of the detected noise by means of morphological filtering. With the help of
computer simulation we show that the proposed algorithm can effectively remove
impulse noise. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared in terms
of image restoration metrics and processing speed with that of common
successful algorithms.Comment: The 6th international conference on analysis of images, social

A new Edge Detector Based on Parametric Surface Model: Regression Surface Descriptor
In this paper we present a new methodology for edge detection in digital
images. The first originality of the proposed method is to consider image
content as a parametric surface. Then, an original parametric local model of
this surface representing image content is proposed. The few parameters
involved in the proposed model are shown to be very sensitive to
discontinuities in surface which correspond to edges in image content. This
naturally leads to the design of an efficient edge detector. Moreover, a
thorough analysis of the proposed model also allows us to explain how these
parameters can be used to obtain edge descriptors such as orientations and
curvatures.
In practice, the proposed methodology offers two main advantages. First, it
has high customization possibilities in order to be adjusted to a wide range of
different problems, from coarse to fine scale edge detection. Second, it is
very robust to blurring process and additive noise. Numerical results are
presented to emphasis these properties and to confirm efficiency of the
proposed method through a comparative study with other edge detectors.Comment: 21 pages, 13 figures and 2 table
Efficient MRF Energy Propagation for Video Segmentation via Bilateral Filters
Segmentation of an object from a video is a challenging task in multimedia
applications. Depending on the application, automatic or interactive methods
are desired; however, regardless of the application type, efficient computation
of video object segmentation is crucial for time-critical applications;
specifically, mobile and interactive applications require near real-time
efficiencies. In this paper, we address the problem of video segmentation from
the perspective of efficiency. We initially redefine the problem of video
object segmentation as the propagation of MRF energies along the temporal
domain. For this purpose, a novel and efficient method is proposed to propagate
MRF energies throughout the frames via bilateral filters without using any
global texture, color or shape model. Recently presented bi-exponential filter
is utilized for efficiency, whereas a novel technique is also developed to
dynamically solve graph-cuts for varying, non-lattice graphs in general linear
filtering scenario. These improvements are experimented for both automatic and
interactive video segmentation scenarios. Moreover, in addition to the
efficiency, segmentation quality is also tested both quantitatively and
qualitatively. Indeed, for some challenging examples, significant time
efficiency is observed without loss of segmentation quality.Comment: Multimedia, IEEE Transactions on (Volume:16, Issue: 5, Aug. 2014
