Analyzing and Improving Image Quality

چکیده
Ghost imaging is a transverse imaging technique that relies on the correlation between a pair of light fields, one that has interacted with the object to be imaged and one that has not. Most ghost imaging experiments have been performed in transmission. and virtually all ghost imaging theory has addressed the transmissive case. Yet stand-off sensing applications require that the object be imaged in reflection. We use Gaussian-state analysis to develop expressions for the spatial resolution, image contrast. and signal-to-noise ratio for ghost imaging performed by measuring a fraction of the light that reflects off a rough-surfaced object that creates target returns with fully developed speckle. This is done for a pseudothermal source with phase-insensitive classical correlation between the two fields, and for a quantum source with non-classical phase-sensitive correlation between the fields. In the low flux limit this quantui source becomes the biphoton state. WAe compare our results to the corresponding behavior seen in transmissive ghost imaging, and we develop performance results for the reflective form of computational ghost imaging. We also provide a preliminary stand-off sensing performance comparison between reflective ghost imaging and a conventional direct-detection laser radar system. We also consider the resolution degradation on each system when the fields propagate through turbulence. Finally, we investigate ways of increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of reflective ghost imaging through use of multiple bucket detectors. multiple-wavelength sources, and compressive sensing.

Improving the quality of images synthesized by discrete cosines transform – regression based method using principle component analysis
Purpose: Different views of an individuals’ image may be required for proper face recognition. Recently, discrete cosines transform (DCT) based method has been used to synthesize virtual views of an image using only one frontal image. In this work the performance of two different algorithms was examined to produce virtual views of one frontal image. Materials and Methods: Two new meth...
متن کاملThe Relationship between Brand Image and Brand Trust in Sporting Goods Consumers
The image of a brand is the first word or image that is evoked in the mind of costumers immediately after hearing the brand name. The purpose of paying attention to the brand image is to ensure the proper mentality of consumers toward the brand. The components such as suitability, services, brand, variety, quality, and atmosphere form the brand image. The relationship between the brand image an...

متن کاملImproving Exemplar-based Image Completion methods using Selecting the Optimal Patch
Image completion is one of the subjects in image and video processing which deals with restoration of and filling in damaged regions of images using correct regions. Exemplar-based image completion methods give more pleasant results than pixel-based approaches. In this paper, a new algorithm is proposed to find the most suitable patch in order to fill in the damaged parts. This patch selection ...
متن کاملSteganography Scheme Based on Reed-Muller Code with Improving Payload and Ability to Retrieval of Destroyed Data for Digital Images
In this paper, a new steganography scheme with high embedding payload and good visual quality is presented. Before embedding process, secret information is encoded as block using Reed-Muller error correction code. After data encoding and embedding into the low-order bits of host image, modulus function is used to increase visual quality of stego image. Since the proposed method is able to embed...
