    摘要: A system for and method of determining calibration parameters while only capturing a single image is described herein. Furthermore, traditional calibration algorithms are avoided by the direct determination of the calibration parameters. The determination of the calibration parameters is possible by first determining a training data set from images acquired of a variety of objects with a multitude of colors. Then, using the training data set, regression coefficients are generated. A camera to be calibrated then acquires only one set of image information such as a single picture. Then, using the regression coefficients and the acquired information, the calibration parameters are directly estimated for that camera.

    摘要: A system for and method of calibrating an imaging device efficiently is described herein. The imaging device acquires an image of an object that is more than one color. The information acquired is then transferred to a computing device. The information is then used to generate a set of data which represents information which was not acquired in the image. The set of data is generated based on statistical prediction using a training data set. Using acquired image information and the set of data, an imaging device is able to be calibrated. Since the process of calibration utilizing this method only requires one image to be acquired and a reduced set of image information to be sent to the computing device, the process is more efficient than previous implementations.

    摘要: A system and method for effectively performing wavelet transforms on incomplete image data includes an image processor that performs a green-pixel transformation procedure on incomplete color pixel matrices. The image processor then rearranges red, blue and transformed green-pixel into four quadrants of contiguous pixels and applies some two dimensional (2D) wavelet thresholding schemes on each quadrant. After thresholding, an inverse procedure is applied to reconstruct the pixel values on the incomplete color pixel matrices. For further de-correlation of image data, the image processor may stack similar image patches in a three dimensional (3D) array and apply incomplete-data wavelet thresholding on the 3D array. The incomplete-data wavelet thresholding procedure may be put in an improved local similarity measurement framework to achieve better performance of image processing tasks. A CPU device typically controls the image processor to effectively perform the image processing procedure.
