Lossless compression algorithms of multispectral images are typically divided into two stages, a decorrelation stage and a coding stage. This work deals with the design of predictors for the decorrelation stage which are both fast and good. to achieve this, both spectral and spatial correlations are used for the predictor. The residuals between the predicted values and real values are calculate...

This paper describes the fast computation, and some applications, of entropies and mutual information for color and multispectral images. It is based on the compact coding and fast processing of multidimensional histograms for digital images.

We present a bottom-up approach for automatic cancer cell detection in multispectral microscopic thin Pap smear images. Around 4,000 multispectral texture features are explored for cancer cell detection. Using two feature screening measures, the initial feature set is effectively reduced to a computationally manageable size. Based on pixel-level screening results, cancerous regions can thus be ...

Orthogonal subspace projection (OSP) has been successfully applied in hyperspectral image processing. In order for the OSP to be effective, the number of bands must be no less than that of signatures to be classified. This ensures that there are sufficient dimensions to accommodate orthogonal projections resulting from the individual signatures. Such inherent constraint is not an issue for hype...

This paper extends the use of stochastic watershed, recently introduced by Angulo and Jeulin [1], to unsupervised segmentation of multispectral images. Several probability density functions (pdf), derived from Monte Carlo simulations (M realizations of N rsandom markers), are used as a gradient for segmentation: a weighted marginal pdf a vectorial pdf and a probabilistic gradient. These gradien...

This paper shows how multispectral images can be used to assess color change over time in wok fried vegetables. We present results where feature selection was performed with sparse methods from the multispectral images to detect the color changes of wok fried carrots and celeriac stored at +5°C over 14 days. A pairwise t-test was used to detect if the differences over days were significant. For...

Under controlled illumination conditions, visual Face Recognition systems perform well for faces with low or no disguise [1]. Infrared (Thermal) Face Recognition provides an enticing alternative to Visible Face Recognition due to the relative insensitivity of IR imagery to illumination changes and disguise [2]. Image fusion is in fact a combination that extracts redundant and complementary info...

Several elementwise component transformations performed over primary color image components (RGB) before optical multichannel correlations are proposed to improve real-time multispectral pattern recognition. The first transformation is deduced from the theory of the optimal filter for object location and recognition extended to multispectral images. Several modifications of this transformation ...

In paper, LANDSAT multispectral image is classified using several unsupervised and supervised techniques. Pixel-by-pixel classification approaches proved to be infeasible as well as time consuming in case of multispectral images. To overcome this, instead of classifying each pixel, feature based classification approach is used. Three supervised techniques namely, k-NN, BPNN and PCNN are investi...

The segmentation method of multispectral human eye images suitable in ophthalmic diagnosis of structural retinal features characteristic for glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy diseases is presented. A multispectral imaging was realized in 21 spectral windows, between 400nm and 740nm, on a base of liquid crystal tunable filter and a high sensitivity monochrome camera. Results of supervised and un...
