Characterization of image distortions in multi-camera systems

چکیده
Multi-camera systems have been evolving as next generation video cameras with applications including 3D reconstruction, image-based rendering, free viewpoint, and 3D TV. Quantifying visual quality of multi-camera systems is fundamental in developing these applications. In this paper, image distortion types in multi-camera systems are investigated where distortion is classified as either geometric or photometric. Examples and measurements are presented showing that single-view objective image quality measures are not adequate for perceptual assessment of multi-camera images. A new algorithm that characterizes the type of distortion in a given image captured by a multi-camera system is proposed and evaluated. The new algorithm is based on the edge intensity summation (EIS). A new EIS -based structural similarity (EISSM) quality measure is proposed. EISSM is shown to capture the perceptual fidelity that is not fully grasped by PSNR and SSIM.

Document Image Dewarping Based on Text Line Detection and Surface Modeling (RESEARCH NOTE)
Document images produced by scanner or digital camera, usually suffer from geometric and photometric distortions. Both of them deteriorate the performance of OCR systems. In this paper, we present a novel method to compensate for undesirable geometric distortions aiming to improve OCR results. Our methodology is based on finding text lines by dynamic local connectivity map and then applying a l...
