We present a novel joint nonuniform illumination estimation and deblurring method for bar code signals based on a penalized nonlinear squares objective function. The objective function is based on the proper parameterization of a bar code signal and nonuniform illumination as well as a regularization on the illumination using a smoothness penalty. By the minimization of the objective function, ...

Color correction is a necessary operation in multi-view video processing, because color tends to be influenced by camera characteristic, surface reflectance or scene illumination. To achieve high-quality correction results, a new color correction method, based on the theoretical model of multi-view imaging and image restoration, is proposed in this paper. Considering the illumination problem in...

This chapter introduces a complete thematic of vision system for mobile robot tracking and control. It consists of a global vision system for estimation of positions and orientations of mobile robots and methods for improvement of bad operating conditions such as noise, camera lens distortion and non-uniform illumination. The basic operation of a vision system is divided into two steps. In the ...

This paper proposes a new algorithm that extracts colour correction parameters from pairs of images and enables the perceived illumination of one image to be imposed on the other. The algorithm does not rely upon prior assumptions regarding illumination constancy and operates between images that can be significantly different in content. The work derives from related research on visual attentio...

In this proposal, we focus on the geometric registration of images with arbitrarilyshaped locally varying intensity changes due to shadows or occlusions that tend to degrade the performance of geometric registration, thereby degrading subsequent processing; such as image mosaicking, and super-resolution. The traditional algorithms assume only global intensity variation correction, thus can not ...

Abstract This report describes the experimental results obtained using a proposed variational Retinex algorithm for controlled illumination correction. Two colour restoration and enhancement schemes of the algorithm are presented for drastically improved results. The algorithm modifies the reflectance image using global and local contrast enhancement approaches and gradually removes the residua...

Most full-field microscopes at synchrotrons exhibit a highly peaked illumination in the center of the field of view for stationary condenser and objective optics. This illumination pattern is typically reference-corrected by division with an image without the sample to correct for the uneven illumination. However, this correction does not rectify problems such as the poor signal-to-noise ratio ...
