Depth video spatial and temporal correlation enhancement algorithm based on just noticeable rendering distortion model

Spatial and temporal inconsistency of depth video deteriorates encoding efficiency in three dimensional video systems. A depth video processing algorithm based on human perception is presented. Firstly, a just noticeable rendering distortion (JNRD) model is formulated by combining the analyses of the influence of depth distortion on virtual view rendering with human visual perception characteristics. Then, depth video is processed based on the JNRD model from two aspects, spatial and temporal correlation enhancement. During the process of spatial correlation enhancement, depth video is segmented into edge, foreground, and background regions, and smoothened by Gaussian and mean filters. The operations of the temporal correlation enhancement include temporal–spatial transpose (TST), temporal smoothing filter and inverse TST. Finally, encoding and virtual view rendering experiments are conducted to evaluate the proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can greatly reduce the bit rate while it maintains the quality of virtual view.     

Automated visual inspection in the semiconductor industry: A survey

Automated visual inspection is an image-processing technique for quality control and production line automation. This paper reviews various optical inspection approaches in the semiconductor industry and categorize the previous literatures by the inspection algorithm and inspected products. The vision-based algorithms that had been adopted in the visual inspection systems include projection methods, filtering-based approaches, learning-based approaches, and hybrid methods. To discuss about the practical applications, the semiconductor industry covers the manufacturing and production of wafer, thin-film transistor liquid crystal displays, and light-emitting diodes. To improve the yield rate and reduce manufacturing costs, the inspection devices are widely installed in the design, layout, fabrication, assembly, and testing processes of production lines. To achieve a high robustness and computational efficiency of automated visual inspection, interdisciplinary knowledge between precision manufacturing and advanced image-processing techniques is required in the novel system design. This paper reviews multiple defect types of various inspected products which can be referenced for further implementations and improvements.     

A depth perception and visual comfort guided computational model for stereoscopic 3D visual saliency

With the emerging development of three-dimensional (3D) related technologies, 3D visual saliency modeling is becoming particularly important and challenging. This paper presents a new depth perception and visual comfort guided saliency computational model for stereoscopic 3D images. The prominent advantage of the proposed model is that we incorporate the influence of depth perception and visual comfort on 3D visual saliency computation. The proposed saliency model is composed of three components: 2D image saliency, depth saliency and visual comfort based saliency. In the model, color saliency, texture saliency and spatial compactness are computed respectively and fused to derive 2D image saliency. Global disparity contrast is considered to compute depth saliency. Particularly, we train a visual comfort prediction function to distinguish stereoscopic image pair as high comfortable stereo viewing (HCSV) or low comfortable stereo viewing (LCSV), and devise different computational rules to generate a visual comfort based saliency map. The final 3D saliency map is obtained by using a linear combination and enhanced by a “saliency-center bias” model. Experimental results show that the proposed 3D saliency model outperforms the state-of-the-art models on predicting human eye fixations and visual comfort assessment.     

A human visual system-driven image segmentation algorithm

This paper presents a novel image segmentation algorithm driven by human visual system (HVS) properties. Segmentation quality metrics, based on perceptual properties of HVS with respect to segmentation, are integrated into an energy function. The energy function encodes the HVS properties from both region-based and boundary-based perspectives, where the just-noticeable difference (JND) model is employed when calculating the difference between the image contents. Extensive experiments are carried out to compare the performances of three variations of the presented algorithm and several representative segmentation and clustering algorithms available in the literature. The results show superior performance of our approach.     

Sensitivity Analysis on Ladder Network Equivalent Circuit Parameters of Power Transformer

In this article, novel methods and ideas are introduced, which altogether lead to an accurate model of power transformer windings. First, by the determination of non-dominant (hidden) resonances from frequency-response tests, a ladder model is proposed. Next, it is improved by assigning different values for similar elements of each section of the model. The parameters are obtained by minimizing the error function via a genetic algorithm. Sensitivity analysis is then applied to the obtained model to achieve further examinations and tests. Measurements have been driven from the windings of a 20/0.4-kV, 1600-kVA transformer. Modeling, methodologies, and sensitivity analysis in this article can be very useful for future research aiming to find internal faults of the transformer with the frequency response analysis.
