5:45:58 PMion Level set methods are a popular way to solve the image segmentation problem. The solution contour is found by solving an optimization problem where a cost functional is…

In this paper, we propose a new transmission model using LO norm for image fog removal. In the prior work, the bilateral filter was used to reduce the halo artifacts.…

In this paper, we propose the method for recognizing the degree of snowfall automatically even if most of backgrounds are covered with snow and the visibility is low by fog.…

This paper introduces the Automated Two-Dimensional K-Means (A2DKM) algorithm, a novel unsupervised clustering technique. The proposed technique differs from the conventional clustering techniques because it eliminates the need for users…

K-means algorithm and ant clustering algorithm are all traditional algorithms. The two algorithms can complement each other. The combination of two algorithms will improve clustering’s accuracy and speed up algorithm’…

In medical image processing, interactive image segmentation is an important part, because it can obtain accurate segment results with less human effort compared with manual scribing. We proposed an improved…

The basic developing a digital image watermarking (DIW) objective approach is to satisfy both robustness and imperceptibility requirement. Digital watermarking (DW) appears as a capable means of protection multimedia contents…

Steganography is a data hiding technique that is widely used in various information securing applications. Steganography transmits data by hiding the existence of the message so that a viewer cannot…

A novel edge-preserving image decomposition based on saliency map is proposed to avoid halo phenomena in traditional image decompositions. Our method uses feature of saliency map that emphasizes salient edges…

Image Enhancement is a process of improving the quality of an image by improving the contrast of the images. Images acquired underwater usually suffers from non-uniform illumination, low-contrast, motion blur…
