A Novel Color Image Compression Method Using Eigenimages
Since the birth of multi–spectral imaging techniques, there has been a tendency to consider and process this new type of data as a set of parallel gray–scale images, instead of an ensemble of an n–D realization. Although, even now, some researchers make the same assumption, it is proved that using vector geometries leads to better results. In this paper, first a method is prop...
متن کاملA Logarithmic CMOS Image Sensor with Adjustable Photo-response
Using logarithm is always a good strategy for representing a high dynamic range signal. However, despite the potentially huge market for any high dynamic range camera, the conventional logarithmic approach using a MOSFET operating in subthreshold mode suffers from low sensitivity especially at low light levels. In this work, a novel high dynamic range pixel with logarithmic response is proposed...
متن کاملAn Analog Gamma Correction Scheme for High Dynamic Range CMOS Logarithmic Image Sensors
In this paper, a novel analog gamma correction scheme with a logarithmic image sensor dedicated to minimize the quantization noise of the high dynamic applications is presented. The proposed implementation exploits a non-linear voltage-controlled-oscillator (VCO) based analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to perform the gamma correction during the analog-to-digital conversion. As a result, the qua...
متن کاملTemperature Compensation Scheme for Logarithmic CMOS Image Sensor
ABSTRACT In this paper, we present a temperature compensation method for logarithmic CMOS image sensors. As Bandgap technique, the compensation circuit generates VPTAT1 and VPTAT2 voltages to compensate temperature variation of the sensor output signal voltage (Out-AC-Signal) which we call VCTAT1 and output reference voltage (VRef−ph) which we call VCTAT2. The proposed method is divided into th...
متن کاملImage Quality Enhancement Using Pixel Wise Gamma Correction
This paper presents a new automatic image enhancement method by modifying the gamma value of its individual pixels. Most of existing gamma correction methods apply a uniform gamma value across the image. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method locally estimates the gamma values in an image using support vector machine. First, a dat...
