Lagrange Gradient Mask for Optical Image Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Masks are used in optical image processing. They are used to generate gradient maps. These maps are applicable to the enhancement of feature extraction and edge detection. Lagrange mask is presented in this letter and criteria for the characterizations of mask performance are given. Through an illustration the performance of the presented mask is demonstrated where it is compared to that of Gabor mask. Results from the illustration support the applicability and suitability of Lagrange mask for the generation of gradient maps from a noise corrupted optical image.

Variational method for joint optical flow estimation and edge-aware image restoration
The most popular optical flow algorithms rely on optimizing the energy function that integrates a data term and a smoothness term. In contrast to this traditional framework, we derive a new objective function that couples optical flow estimation and image restoration. Our method is inspired by the recent successes of edge-aware constraints (EAC) in preserving edges in general gradient domain im...
متن کاملOptimum Stepper Performance through Image Manipulation
It is the goal of this paper to investigate the potential advantages of using flexible steppers for "image manipulation," that is, varying the aerial image of a given mask pattern by varying the optical parameters of the stepper. Obviously, the purpose of image manipulation will be to improve the lithographic process in some way. Thus, the first step will be to define some metric or metrics of ...

We applied an inverse synthesis method to design phase-shifting mask (PSM) via gradient descent optimization under the coherent illumination assumption. The synthesized PSMs have high fidelity and sharp image slope. ©2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (100.3190) Inverse problems; (110.5220) Photolithography
متن کاملHigh Accuracy Optical Flow Method Based on a Theory for Warping: 3D Extension
This paper describes the implementation and qualitative and quantitative evaluation of a 3D optical flow algorithm, whose derivation is based on the 2D optical flow method published by Brox et al. [ECCV2004]. The optical flowminimizes an energy function built with three assumptions: a brightness constancy assumption, a gradient constancy assumption, and a smoothness assumption. Brox et al. mini...
متن کاملBinary mask optimization for forward lithography based on the boundary layer model in coherent systems.
Recently, a set of generalized gradient-based optical proximity correction (OPC) optimization methods have been developed to solve for the forward and inverse lithography problems under the thin-mask assumption, where the mask is considered a thin 2D object. However, as the critical dimension printed on the wafer shrinks into the subwavelength regime, thick-mask effects become prevalent, and th...
