On the Problem of Granulometry for a Degraded Boolean Image Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a geometric coverage process consisting of a random number of disks, or grains, having random radii and positions in the plane. Our objective is granulometry: estimation of a parameter of the disk radius distribution, which is important in diverse applications such bio-assay, balistics, and numerical taxonomy. These disks are only incompletely observed due to mutual occlusion, spatial blurring and additive noise. We use a measurement channel paradigm to derive an expectation-maximization (EM) type estimation algorithm and a distortion-rate lower bound on estimation error.

Image Restoration by Variable Splitting based on Total Variant Regularizer
The aim of image restoration is to obtain a higher quality desired image from a degraded image. In this strategy, an image inpainting method fills the degraded or lost area of the image by appropriate information. This is performed in such a way so that the obtained image is undistinguishable for a casual person who is unfamiliar with the original image. In this paper, different images are degr...
متن کاملMorphological and Crystallographic Characterization of Nanoparticles by Granulometry Image Analysis and Rietveld Refinement Methods
The particle size distribution of the resultant cobalt ferrite samples was determined from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images using the granulometry image analysis method. Results showed the nanosized particles of the samples. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns of samples were also analyzed by Rietveld refinement method. The results indicated that the precipitated sample at 95 <sup...
متن کاملN-Policy for M/G/1 Machine Repair Model with Mixed Standby Components, Degraded Failure and Bernoulli Feedback
In this paper, we study N-policy for a finite population Bernoulli feedback queueing model for machine repair problem with degraded failure. The running times of the machines between breakdowns have an exponential distribution. The repair times of the machines are independent and identically distributed random variables. If at any time a machine fails, it is sent to the repairman for repairing,...
متن کاملOptimal overhaul–replacement policy for a multi-degraded repairable system sold with warranty
In this research, we study an optimal overhaul–replacement policy of a multi-degraded repairable system sold with a free replacement warranty. In the proposed replacement policy, a maintenance action and failure are dependent on a system degradation level and the system age, and hence the replacement model will provide more effective maintenance decisions. Failure of the system is modeled using...
متن کاملThe TVL1 Model: A Geometric Point of View
The aim of this paper is to investigate the geometrical behavior of the TVL1 model used in image processing, by making use of the notion of Cheeger sets. This mathematical concept was recently related to the celebrated Rudin-Osher-Fatemi image restoration model, yielding important advances in both fields. We provide the reader with a geometrical characterization of the TVL1 model. We show that,...
