چکیده

We present a novel approach for enhancing the quality of an image captured from a pair of flash and no-flash images. The main idea for image enhancement is to generate a new image by combining the ambient light of the no-flash image and the details of the flash image. In this approach, we propose a method based on Adaptive Total Variation Minimization (ATVM) so that it has an efficient image denoising effect by preserving strong gradients of the flash image. Some numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Multi-Component-Multiphase Flash Calculations for Systems Containing Gas Hydrates by Direct Minimization of Gibbs Free Energy

The Michelsen stability and multiphase flash calculation by direct minimization of Gibbs free energy of the system at constant temperature and pressure, was used for systems containing gas hydrates. The solid hydrate phase was treated as a solid solution. The fugacities of all components of the hydrate phase were calculated as a function of compositions by the rearranged model of van der Wa...

Ambient Shadow Detection and Removal via Flash/Noflash Pairs

Flash/noflash pairs have been studied as a simple mechanism for supplying less-noisy information for dark areas of an ambient-light image. This research direction also includes image pairs or sequences of nighttime or obscured imagery such as surveillance video. Ambient imagery has some advantages over flash images, in general, in that a flash can create harsh or unpleasing effects, and can als...

Practical Scene Illuminant Estimation via Flash/No-Flash Pairs

In this paper, we present a method to estimate ambient illuminants using no-flash/flash image pairs. Accurate estimation of the ambient illuminant is useful for imaging applications. In most applications, however, this task is difficult because of the complicated combination of illuminants, surfaces, and camera characteristics during the imaging process. To estimate the scene illumination, a ve...

Image Enhancement Using an Adaptive Un-sharp Masking Method Considering the Gradient Variation

Technical limitations in image capturing usually impose defective, such as contrast degradation. There are different approaches to improve the contrast of an image. Among the exiting approaches, un-sharp masking is a popular method due to its simplicity in implementation and computation. There is an important parameter in un-sharp masking, named gain factor, which affects the quality of the enh...
