IMAGE PROCESSING FOR GEOTECHNICAL LABORATORY MEASUREMENTS

Image Processing Laboratory

Digital Image Processing Laboratory : Image Halftoning

In this lab, we will cover a useful image processing technique called halftoning, which is the process of converting a gray scale image into a binary image. The process of halftoning is required in many present day electronic applications such as facsimile (FAX), electronic scanning and copying, and laser printing. This lab will cover the halftoning techniques known as ordered dithering and err...

Digital Image Processing Laboratory : The EM Algorithm

This laboratory explores the use of the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for the estimate of parameters. In particular, we will use the EM algorithm for two applications: clustering, and hidden Markov model training. You are encouraged to implement your solutions to this laboratory in Matlab. For an original derivation of the monotone convergence of the likelihood for the EM algorithm, t...

PC-Based Image Processing Systems for Laboratory Use

Several PC-based image processing systems developed for experimental measurements in our laboretory are described in this paper. They are a motion measurement system, motion picture analysis systems and color image processing systems for robotics. High quality with low cost image digitizing boards become available to use, and a capacity of RAM boards grows rapidly. So, PC-based automatic measur...

A software system for laboratory experiments in image processing

Laboratory experiments for image processing courses are usually software implementations of processing algorithms, but students of image processing come from diverse backgrounds with widely differing software experience. To avoid learning overhead, the software system should be easy to learn and use, even for those with no exposure to mathematical programming languages or object-oriented progra...
