    摘要: A system and method for effectively performing an integrated segmentation procedure comprises an image segmenter that includes a texture modeler, a contrast modeler, and a model integrator. The texture modeler creates a texture model based upon an original image. Similarly, the contrast modeler creates a contrast model based upon the original image. The model integrator then performs a model integration procedure to create a final segmented image by integrating the texture model and the contrast model according to a calculated texture model metric. A processor of an electronic device typically controls the image segmenter to perform the integrated segmentation procedure.

    摘要: A system and method for effectively performing a scene rectification procedure comprises an image manager that includes a segmentation module, a label module, and a rectification module. The segmentation module initially performs a segmentation procedure upon an image to produce corresponding sub-scenes. The label module then categorizes the sub-scenes by assigning initial labels without utilizing context information from other sub-scenes in the image. The rectification module performs a semantic grouping procedure upon the sub-scenes to produce semantic group nodes corresponding to pairs of the sub-scenes that have a predefined semantic relationship. The rectification module converts a sub-scene graph of the sub-scenes into a semantic graph that includes the semantic group nodes. The rectification module then performs a rectification procedure to convert the initial labels of the sub-scenes into rectified labels. A processor of an electronic device typically controls the image manager for performing the scene rectification procedure.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for improving the quality of super-resolution video imaging by suppressing ringing artifacts, reducing high-frequency noise, reducing blocking artifacts, and smoothing out jagged edges of the image to generate pictures that appear cleaner with less edge degradation. The method operates in a recursive manner within a sequence of low resolution images. Conventional SR processing is primarily enhanced within the invention by adding an artifact suppression section which creates a high frequency component signal ΔSRi having significantly reduced artifacts therein achieving higher quality super-resolution image output. The method can be applied to images and image sequences (video) in monochrome or color and in any desired pixel format. The method can be implemented within image processing devices, in particular those containing programming for executing the described method steps.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is described here that categorizes images by extracting a subscene and describing the subscene with a top level feature vector and a division feature vector, which are descriptions of edge gradient classifications within rectangular bounding boxes. By filtering subscene feature vectors in images with a Gaussian mixture based model pool (obtained in a subscene modeling phase), the images may be categorized (in an subscene recognition phase) with probabilities relating to each subscene. Higher probabilities are likelier correlations. The device may be a single or multiple core CPU, or parallelized vector processor for characterizing many images. The images may be photographs, videos, or video stills, without restriction. When used real-time, the method may be used for visual searching or sorting.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is described that categorizes images by extracting regions and describing the regions with a set of 15-dimensional image patch feature vectors, which are concatenations of color and texture feature vectors. By comparing the image patch feature vectors in images with similarly-obtained image patch vectors in a Gaussian mixture based model pool (obtained in an image patch modeling phase), the images may be categorized (in an image patch recognition phase) with probabilities relating to each image patch. Higher probabilities are likelier correlations. The device may be a single or multiple core CPU, or parallelized vector processor for characterizing many images. The images may be photographs, videos, or video stills, without restriction. When used real-time, the method may be used for visual searching or sorting.

    摘要: A method of image color tone correction is disclosed, which may include the steps of (a) providing a reference image and one or more source images, wherein all images are comprised of pixels of a scene; (b) correcting a designated portion of one of the source images based on the reference image to create a color tone corrected image; and (c) outputting the color tone corrected image to a computer readable medium. The designated portion may be any subset of one of the source images, and may be a simple cropping, interlace, or other form of selection, such as areas of interest in the scene. Additionally, the designated portion may be used for determining a set of coefficients for overall color image correction of the complement of the source images. This method brings the increased tonal and saturation qualities of still images to those in motion.
