Hardware Considerations for Illumination-Invariant Image Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Illumination-invariant image processing is an extension of the classical technique of homomorphic filtering using a logarithmic point transformation. In this paper, traditional approaches to illumination-invariant processing are briefly reviewed and then extended using newer image processing techniques. Relevant hardware considerations are also discussed including the number of bits per pixel required for digitization, minimizing the dynamic range of the data for image processing, and camera requirements. Three applications using illumination-invariant processing techniques are also provided.

متن کاملA New RSTB Invariant Image Template Matching Based on Log-Spectrum and Modified ICA
Template matching is a widely used technique in many of image processing and machine vision applications. In this paper we propose a new as well as a fast and reliable template matching algorithm which is invariant to Rotation, Scale, Translation and Brightness (RSTB) changes. For this purpose, we adopt the idea of ring projection transform (RPT) of image. In the proposed algorithm, two novel s...
متن کاملLossless Microarray Image Compression by Hardware Array Compactor
Microarray technology is a new and powerful tool for concurrent monitoring of large number of genes expressions. Each microarray experiment produces hundreds of images. Each digital image requires a large storage space. Hence, real-time processing of these images and transmission of them necessitates efficient and custom-made lossless compression schemes. In this paper, we offer a new archi...
متن کاملIllumination Invariant Motion Segmentation of Simple Connected Objects
A new segmentation algorithm exploits local image quantities which are invariant to changing illumination. Local object-background probability estimates are obtained by comparing illumination invariant quantities in an actual image with the corresponding quantities in a reference image. The objects' simply connectedness is included directly into the probability estimates and leads to an iterati...
