Algorithmic and architectural design for real-time and power-efficient Retinex image/video processing

This paper presents novel algorithmic and architectural solutions for real-time and power-efficient enhancement of images and video sequences. A programmable class of Retinex-like filters, based on the separation of the illumination and reflectance components, is proposed. The dynamic range of the input image is controlled by applying a suitable non-linear function to the illumination, while the details are enhanced by processing the reflectance. An innovative spatially recursive rational filter is used to estimate the illumination. Moreover, to improve the visual quality results of two-branch Retinex operators when applied to videos, a novel three-branch technique is proposed which exploits both spatial and temporal filtering. Real-time implementation is obtained by designing an Application Specific Instruction-set Processor (ASIP). Optimizations are addressed at algorithmic and architectural levels. The former involves arithmetic accuracy definition and linearization of non-linear operators; the latter includes customized instruction set, dedicated memory structure, adapted pipeline, bypasses, custom address generator, and special looping structures. The ASIP is synthesized in standard-cells CMOS technology and its performances are compared to known Digital signal processor (DSP) implementations of real-time Retinex filters. As a result of the comparison, the proposed algorithmic/architectural design outperforms state-of-art Retinex-like operators achieving the best trade-off between power consumption, flexibility, and visual quality.

Enhancement of historical printed document images by combining Total Variation regularization and Non-local Means filtering

This paper proposes a novel method for document enhancement which combines two recent powerful noise-reduction steps. The first step is based on the Total Variation framework. It flattens background grey-levels and produces an intermediate image where background noise is considerably reduced. This image is used as a mask to produce an image with a cleaner background while keeping character details. The second step is applied to the cleaner image and consists of a filter based on Non-local Means: character edges are smoothed by searching for similar patch images in pixel neighborhoods. The document images to be enhanced are real historical printed documents from several periods which include several defects in their background and on character edges. These defects result from scanning, paper aging and bleed-through. The proposed method enhances document images by combining the Total Variation and the Non-local Means techniques in order to improve OCR recognition. The method is shown to be more powerful than when these techniques are used alone and than other enhancement methods.     

On Fuzzy Nonlinear Regression for Image Enhancement

Nonlinear regression analysis with respect to fuzzy characteristic sets, or fuzzy nonlinear regression, is a potentially useful and previously unexplored digital signal processing tool. Here, the fuzzy regression model is used in the image enhancement problem. Given a noisy image, the noise is eliminated by computing a regression—the closest image to the input image that has membership in the characteristic set. The known properties of the original, uncorrupted imagery (e.g., smoothness) are used to define membership in the characteristic set. With conventional crisp characteristic sets that enforce the characteristic property in a global sense, the local image structure may be sacrificed. In this paper, a method to compute fuzzy nonlinear regressions for the piecewise constant characteristic property is given. Solutions are produced by minimizing an energy functional that penalizes deviation from the sensed (corrupted) image and deviation from piecewise constancy. The construction of the energy functional, the analytical selection of the functional parameters, the minimization technique used (generalized deterministic annealing), and the fuzzy membership function are detailed. Finally, image enhancement examples are provided for remotely sensed imagery.
