Multiscale Total Variational Alggorithms for Denoising Natural Color Photos in Digital Photography

As digital photography rapidly replacing the traditional film photography as the photography of choice for all but a few devoted professionals, post image processing of natural color photos such as denoising becomes increasingly an integral part of digital photography. Although many denoising schemes have been designed, almost none specifically target natural color photos. Noise in natural colo...

Characterizing Pavement Surface Distress Conditions with Hyper-Spatial Resolution Natural Color Aerial Photography

Roadway pavement surface distress information is critical for effective pavement asset management, and subsequently, transportation management agencies at all levels (i.e., federal, state, and local) dedicate a large amount of time and money to routinely evaluate pavement surface distress conditions as the core of their asset management programs. However, currently adopted ground-based evaluati...

Prism-Based Color Separation for Professional Digital Photography

In the field of silver-halide photography, color separation was explored about a century ago, using filter mosaics, dichroic mirrors, three-shot filtration, and other techniques, before the dominant technology of multi-layered color film emerged. In the field of digital photography, the same techniques are being explored now in conjuction with silicon sensor technology. The three-shot technique...

Structured Light Color Boundary Coding for 3D Photography

In this paper we present (b, s)-BCSL, a new coded structured light method for 3D photography. It employs a sequence of complementary color stripe patterns to define correspondences within a camera/projector shape acquisition system. Unique codes are associated with the boundaries of successive stripes in time. The use of color fully exploits current imaging hardware and makes possible an effect...
