一种无参考运动模糊图像的质量评价方法

针对高动态环境下视觉导航系统的可靠性受到运动模糊制约,而现有的结构相似度算法（SSIM）对模糊图像评价不敏感的问题,提出了一种基于改进结构相似度的无参考运动模糊图像质量评价算法。首先,将原始运动模糊图像经过同运动方向的模糊算子生成再模糊图像;之后,将原始模糊图像与再模糊图像进行8×8分块,并在相应子块中找到边缘信息丰富的子块;然后,计算原始模糊图像和再模糊图像中对应边缘信息丰富子块的结构相似度;最后,通过边缘置信度对子块加权得到整幅图像的模糊评价指标。实验结果表明,此评价方法结果与主观评价结果具有较高的一致性,能够准确地对运动模糊图像进行评价。由于本方法能有效地优化边缘子块的权值,与传统的平均结构相似度（MSSIM）评价方法相比,具有更高的灵敏性。     

Radial Tchebichef moment invariants for image recognition

Radial Tchebichef moments as discrete orthogonal moments in the polar coordinate have been successfully used in the field of image recognition. However, the scale invariant property of these moments has not been studied due to its complexity of the problem. In this paper, we present a method to construct a set of scale and rotation invariants extracted from radial Tchebichef moments, named radial Tchebichef moment invariants (RTMI). Experimental results show the efficiency and the robustness to noise of the proposed method for recognition tasks.     

彩色图像的四元数径向矩仿射不变量

为了研究彩色图像的不变量特性,本文把传统灰度图像的不变量理论推广到四元数层面上来,定义了彩色图像的四元数径向矩并构造了该矩函数的仿射不变量。采用四元数对彩色图像建模,可以充分利用彩色图像整体信息,实现彩色图像RGB通道的并行处理。实验结果表明,彩色图像的四元数径向矩仿射不变量的稳定性要优于L.V.Gool等人提出的彩色矩仿射不变量,其数值稳定性(σ/μ值)提高了一个数量级。本文所提出的四元数径向仿射不变量可以作为模式识别中彩色目标的特征描述子。     

Generic radial orthogonal moment invariants for invariant image recognition

As the variation of parameters in Jacobi polynomial, Jacobi–Fourier moments can form various types of orthogonal moments: Legendre–Fourier moments, Orthogonal Fourier–Mellin moments, Zernike moments, pseudo-Zernike moments, and so on. In this paper, we present a generic approach based on Jacobi–Fourier moments for scale and rotation invariant analysis of radial orthogonal moments, named Jacobi–Fourier moment invariants (JFMIs). It provides a fundamental mathematical tool for invariant analysis of the radial orthogonal moments since Jacobi–Fourier moments are the generic expressions of radial orthogonal moments. Theoretical and experimental results also show the superiority of the proposed method and its robustness to noise in comparison with some exist methods.

Automatic blur region segmentation approach using image matting

For images with partial blur such as local defocus or local motion, deconvolution with just a single point spread function surely could not restore the images correctly. Thus, restoration relying on blur region segmentation is developed widely. In this paper, we propose an automatic approach for blur region extraction. Firstly, the image is divided into patches. Then, the patches are marked by three blur features: gradient histogram span, local mean square error map, and maximum saturation. The combination of three measures is employed as the initialization of iterative image matting algorithm. At last, we separate the blurred and non-blurred region through the binarization of alpha matting map. Experiments with a set of natural images prove the advantage of our algorithm.     

Retrieval of symmetrical image blur using zero sheets

The analytically continued Fourier transform of a two-dimensional image vanishes to zero on a two-dimensional surface embedded in a four-dimensional space. This surface uniquely characteristics the image and is known as a `zero sheet'. Since the manipulation of a function in four-dimensional space is cumbersome, the projections of zero sheets, known as `zero tracks' are calculated. This knowledge of zero sheets can be extended to a number of practical applications including image processing. Image restoration can be realised without prior knowledge of the point spread function, i.e. blind deconvolution is possible even when only a single blurred image is given. If the blurred image concerned contains a point spread function with diagonal symmetry, the point zeros calculated row-wise and column-wise contain some similarities, which supports retrieval of both the true image and a point spread function. This novel scheme performs the separation effectively in the absence of contamination     

Robust image deblurring with an inaccurate blur kernel

Most existing nonblind image deblurring methods assume that the blur kernel is free of error. However, it is often unavoidable in practice that the input blur kernel is erroneous to some extent. Sometimes, the error could be severe, e.g., for images degraded by nonuniform motion blurring. When an inaccurate blur kernel is used as the input, significant distortions will appear in the image recovered by existing methods. In this paper, we present a novel convex minimization model that explicitly takes account of error in the blur kernel. The resulting minimization problem can be efficiently solved by the so-called accelerated proximal gradient method. In addition, a new boundary extension scheme is incorporated in the proposed model to further improve the results. The experiments on both synthesized and real images showed the efficiency and robustness of our algorithm to both the image noise and the model error in the blur kernel.     

TDI遥感图像中畸变像移模糊的去除

采用离轴三反射结构的大视场空间相机存在较大的光学畸变,导致引入时间延迟积分(Time Delay Integration, TDI)技术的面阵探测器在推扫成像时产生像移模糊。根据畸变引起的TDI成像退化原理,将畸变像移模糊转化为非均匀运动模糊,通过求解像移路径计算初始模糊核,将其作为先验信息,建立半盲复原模型进一步细化模糊核。利用初始模糊核复原的粗略图像边缘指导模糊核的细化,提出一种多方向权重异性的全变差模型提取图像结构信息。为了增强先验信息对模糊核细化的约束,构建了含有初始模糊核的正则项,使模糊核的估计不过度依赖于图像内容,采用多尺度迭代方法求解。最后用正则化约束的非盲反卷积方法去除图像模糊。实验结果表明:与现有的几种去模糊算法相比,所提方法的去模糊效果不仅清晰自然且对不同样本图像的模糊核估计更稳定。

No-reference image blur index based on singular value curve

We describe a new no-reference blur index for still images based on a singular value curve (SVC). The algorithm is composed of two steps. First, the singular value decomposition is performed on the image to be blur-assessed. Then an image blur index is constructed from the singular value curve. Experimental results obtained on four simulated blur databases and on the Real Blur Image Database show that the proposed SVC algorithm achieves high correlation against human judgments when assessing the blur distortion of images.     

Wavelet-domain filtering for photon imaging systems

Many imaging systems rely on photon detection as the basis of image formation. One of the major sources of error in these systems is Poisson noise due to the quantum nature of the photon detection process. Unlike additive Gaussian white noise, the variance of Poisson noise is proportional to the underlying signal intensity, and consequently separating signal from noise is a very difficult task. In this paper, we perform a novel gedankenexperiment to devise a new wavelet-domain filtering procedure for noise removal in photon imaging systems. The filter adapts to both the signal and the noise, and balances the trade-off between noise removal and excessive smoothing of image details. Designed using the statistical method of cross-validation, the filter is simultaneously optimal in a small-sample predictive sum of squares sense and asymptotically optimal in the mean-square-error sense. The filtering procedure has a simple interpretation as a joint edge detection/estimation process. Moreover, we derive an efficient algorithm for performing the filtering that has the same order of complexity as the fast wavelet transform itself. The performance of the new filter is assessed with simulated data experiments and tested with actual nuclear medicine imagery.     

基于图像质量评价的LCD运动模糊检测方法

运动模糊度是表征LCD显示器质量的重要指标。目前,国内针对LCD运动图像显示性能的检测大多采用人眼视觉检测的方法,而人工检测结果是检测人员的主观判断,易受外界环境和自身心理因素的影响,不利于生产的统一化、标准化。本文采用图像质量评价的思路,提出了一种基于区域对比度和结构相似度(RCSSIM)算法的LCD运动模糊检测方法。参考LCD显示的静止图像,对采集到的运动图像进行图像质量评价得到运动图像的清晰度,以此作为LCD显示器运动模糊程度的指标。仿真和实际检测结果均表明,该方法提出的检测指标不但能很好地量化LCD运动模糊度,且与人的主观感知相符。     

No-reference assessment of blur and noise impacts on image quality

The quality of images may be severely degraded in various situations such as imaging during motion, sensing through a diffusive medium, and low signal to noise. Often in such cases, the ideal un-degraded image is not available (no reference exists). This paper overviews past methods that dealt with no-reference (NR) image quality assessment, and then proposes a new NR method for the identification of image distortions and quantification of their impacts on image quality. The proposed method considers both noise and blur distortion types that may exist in the image. The same methodology employed in the spatial frequency domain is used to evaluate both distortion impacts on image quality, while noise power is further independently estimated in the spatial domain. Specific distortions addressed here include additive white noise, Gaussian blur and de-focus blur. Estimation results are compared to the true distortion quantities, over a set of 75 different images.
