On Re-sampling of Solar Images
نویسنده
چکیده
Digital image data are now commonly used throughout the field of solar physics. Many steps of image data analysis, including image co-alignment, perspective reprojection of the solar surface, and compensation for solar rotation, require re-sampling original telescope image data under a distorting coordinate transformation. The most common image re-sampling methods introduce significant, unnecessary flaws into the data. More correct techniques have been known in the computer graphics community for some time but remain little known within the solar community and hence deserve further presentation. Furthermore, image distortion under specialized coordinate transformations is a powerful analysis technique with applications well beyond image resizing and perspective compensation. Here I give a brief overview of the mathematics of data re-sampling under arbitrary distortions, present a simple algorithm for optimized re-sampling, give some examples of distortion as an analysis tool, and introduce scientific image distortion software that is freely available over the Internet. “First get your facts straight. Then you can distort them as you please.” – Mark Twain

Improving re-sampling detection by adding noise
Current image re-sampling detectors can reliably detect re-sampling in JPEG images only up to a Quality Factor (QF) of 95 or higher. At lower QFs, periodic JPEG blocking artifacts interfere with periodic patterns of re-sampling. We add a controlled amount of noise to the image before the re-sampling detection step. Adding noise suppresses the JPEG artifacts while the periodic patterns due to re...
متن کاملImage De-Noising and Micro Crack Detection of Solar Cells
Solar cell is known as a sustainable and environment friendly source of energy in nature. It converts sunlight directly into electricity with zero emission and also without side-effects on the environment. But, solar cells have optical and mechanical defects which include the type of micro crack, the size of crack, and the noise from electrical or electromechanical interference during the image...

In this modern age in which we are living, digital images play a vital role in many application areas. But at the same time the image retouching techniques has also increased. To cope with this problem, the field of digital forensics and investigation emerged and provided some trust in digital images. In this paper we proposed a technique for image authentication that detects the manipulations ...

Introduction: Solar lentigo is local and benign proliferation of melanocytes which is common in old individuals and creates a major concern considering beauty. Despite several and somehow expensive treatments such as laser and cryotherapy, chemical peeling with Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) has recently attracted attentions considering its low cost and availability. The present study was des...
