Adaptive Image Enhancement Algorithm Combining Kernel Regression and Local Homogeneity
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is known that many image enhancement methods have a tradeoff between noise suppression and edge enhancement. In this paper, we propose a new technique for image enhancement filtering and explain it in human visual perception theory. It combines kernel regression and local homogeneity and evaluates the restoration performance of smoothing method. First, image is filtered in kernel regression. Then image local homogeneity computation is introduced which offers adaptive selection about further smoothing. The overall effect of this algorithm is effective about noise reduction and edge enhancement. Experiment results show that this algorithm has better performance in image edge enhancement, contrast enhancement, and noise suppression.

Utilizing Kernel Adaptive Filters for Speech Enhancement within the ALE Framework
Performance of the linear models, widely used within the framework of adaptive line enhancement (ALE), deteriorates dramatically in the presence of non-Gaussian noises. On the other hand, adaptive implementation of nonlinear models, e.g. the Volterra filters, suffers from the severe problems of large number of parameters and slow convergence. Nonetheless, kernel methods are emerging solutions t...
متن کاملDepth Map Enhancement Using Adaptive Steering Kernel Regression Based on Distance Transform
In this paper, we present a method to enhance noisy depth maps using adaptive steering kernel regression based on distance transform. Dataadaptive kernel regression filters are widely used for image denoising by considering spatial and photometric properties of pixel data. In order to reduce noise in depth maps more efficiently, we adaptively refine the steering kernel regression function accor...
متن کاملSuper-Drizzle: Applications of Adaptive Kernel Regression in Astronomical Imaging
The drizzle algorithm is a widely used tool for image enhancement in the astronomical literature. For example, a very popular implementation of this method, as studied by Frutcher and Hook [1], has been used to fuse, denoise, and increase the spatial resolution of the images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). However, the drizzle algorithm is an ad-hoc method, equivalent to a spatial...
متن کاملScale Selection of Adaptive Kernel Regression by Joint Saliency Map for Nonrigid Image Registration
Joint saliency map (JSM) [1] was developed to assign high joint saliency values to the corresponding saliency structures (called Joint Saliency Structures, JSSs) but zero or low joint saliency values to the outliers (or mismatches) that are introduced by missing correspondence or local large deformations between the reference and moving images to be registered. JSM guides the local structure ma...
متن کاملStructure matching driven by joint-saliency-structure adaptive kernel regression
For nonrigid image registration, matching the particular structures (or the outliers) that have missing correspondence and/or local large deformations, can be more difficult than matching the common structures with small deformations in the two images. Most existing works depend heavily on the outlier segmentation to remove the outlier effect in the registration. Moreover, these works do not ha...
