چکیده

This paper focuses on directional textures. It provides a new framework for the design of convolution masks dedicated to orientation estimation and an adaptive algorithm which chooses the best mask size for each pixel. The design of the adaptive algorithm is based on the combination of two complementary operators: a gradient based operator which is adapted to sloped regions and a valleyness detector which fits the crests and valleys. Each operator is optimized in terms of bias reduction. The scale adaptive implementation of the operator is carried out in two steps. Firstly, characteristic points are detected. Their relative positions provide us with an estimation of the scale. Secondly, the size of the convolution masks is chosen according to the estimated scale. Experiments on synthetic and natural textures are provided and show the efficiency and the relevance of our approach.

Statistical Wavelet-based Image Denoising using Scale Mixture of Normal Distributions with Adaptive Parameter Estimation

Removing noise from images is a challenging problem in digital image processing. This paper presents an image denoising method based on a maximum a posteriori (MAP) density function estimator, which is implemented in the wavelet domain because of its energy compaction property. The performance of the MAP estimator depends on the proposed model for noise-free wavelet coefficients. Thus in the wa...

Fitting the Three-parameter Weibull Distribution by using Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure

The Weibull distribution is widely employed in several areas of engineering because it is an extremely flexible distribution with different shapes. Moreover, it can include characteristics of several other distributions. However, successful usage of Weibull distribution depends on estimation accuracy for three parameters of scale, shape and location. This issue shifts the attentions to the requ...

Adaptive Multidimensional Filtering

This thesis contains a presentation and an analysis of adaptive filtering strategies for multidimensional data. The size, shape and orientation of the filter are signal controlled and thus adapted locally to each neighbourhood according to a predefined model. The filter is constructed as a linear weighting of fixed oriented bandpass filters having the same shape but different orientations. The ...
