Wavelet Foveation

چکیده
A foveated image is a non-uniform resolution image whose resolution is highest at a point (fovea) but falling off away from the fovea. It can be obtained from a uniform image through a space-variant smoothing process, where the width of the smoothing function is small near the fovea and gradually expanding as the distance from the fovea increases. We treat this process as an integral operator and analyze its kernel. This kernel is dominated by its diagonal in the wavelet bases and thus permits a fast algorithm for foveating images. In addition, the transformed kernel takes a simple form which can be easily computed using a look-up table. This is useful since in applications, the fovea changes rapidly. We describe an application of our approximation algorithm in image visualization over Internet.

Embedded foveation image coding
The human visual system (HVS) is highly space-variant in sampling, coding, processing, and understanding. The spatial resolution of the HVS is highest around the point of fixation (foveation point) and decreases rapidly with increasing eccentricity. By taking advantage of this fact, it is possible to remove considerable high-frequency information redundancy from the peripheral regions and still...
متن کاملA New Image Psychovisual Coding Quality Measurement based Region of Interest
To model the human visual system (HVS) in the region of interest, we propose a new objective metric evaluation adapted to wavelet foveation-based image compression quality measurement, which exploits a foveation setup filter implementation technique in the DWT domain, based especially on the point and region of fixation of the human eye. This model is then used to predict the visible divergence...
متن کاملScalable Foveation Image Coding with Fuzzy System
This paper presents a method of the scalable foveation image coding with a fuzzy system. Our objective is to maximize foveated wavelet image quality index (FWQI). With the foveated visual sensitivity model, image regions are first prioritized. The image regions closed to the foveation points have higher priorities than those, which are far away from the foveation points. The discrete wavelet tr...

PURPOSE To investigate the proper usage of wavelet analysis in infantile nystagmus syndrome (INS) and determine its limitations and abilities. METHODS Data were analyzed from accurate eye-movement recordings of INS patients. Wavelet analysis was performed to examine the foveation characteristics, morphologic characteristics and time variation in different INS waveforms. Also compared were the...
متن کاملAuthentication of Volume Data Using Wavelet-Based Foveation
3D volume data has been increasingly used in many applications. The digital nature of the data allows easy creation, copying and distribution. However, it also allows ease of manipulation which can enable wilful or inadvertent misrepresentation of the content. For an application like medical imaging, this can have serious diagnostic and legal implications. Thus there is a strong need to establi...
