Download or read book Object Based Image Analysis written by Thomas Blaschke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-08-09 with total page 804 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a collection of invited interdisciplinary persp- tives on the recent topic of Object-based Image Analysis (OBIA). Its c- st tent is based on select papers from the 1 OBIA International Conference held in Salzburg in July 2006, and is enriched by several invited chapters. All submissions have passed through a blind peer-review process resulting in what we believe is a timely volume of the highest scientific, theoretical and technical standards. The concept of OBIA first gained widespread interest within the GIScience (Geographic Information Science) community circa 2000, with the advent of the first commercial software for what was then termed ‘obje- oriented image analysis’. However, it is widely agreed that OBIA builds on older segmentation, edge-detection and classification concepts that have been used in remote sensing image analysis for several decades. Nevert- less, its emergence has provided a new critical bridge to spatial concepts applied in multiscale landscape analysis, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the synergy between image-objects and their radiometric char- teristics and analyses in Earth Observation data (EO).

Book Image Segmentation and Compression Using Hidden Markov Models

Download or read book Image Segmentation and Compression Using Hidden Markov Models written by Jia Li and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current age of information technology, the issues of distributing and utilizing images efficiently and effectively are of substantial concern. Solutions to many of the problems arising from these issues are provided by techniques of image processing, among which segmentation and compression are topics of this book. Image segmentation is a process for dividing an image into its constituent parts. For block-based segmentation using statistical classification, an image is divided into blocks and a feature vector is formed for each block by grouping statistics of its pixel intensities. Conventional block-based segmentation algorithms classify each block separately, assuming independence of feature vectors. Image Segmentation and Compression Using Hidden Markov Models presents a new algorithm that models the statistical dependence among image blocks by two dimensional hidden Markov models (HMMs). Formulas for estimating the model according to the maximum likelihood criterion are derived from the EM algorithm. To segment an image, optimal classes are searched jointly for all the blocks by the maximum a posteriori (MAP) rule. The 2-D HMM is extended to multiresolution so that more context information is exploited in classification and fast progressive segmentation schemes can be formed naturally. The second issue addressed in the book is the design of joint compression and classification systems using the 2-D HMM and vector quantization. A classifier designed with the side goal of good compression often outperforms one aimed solely at classification because overfitting to training data is suppressed by vector quantization. Image Segmentation and Compression Using Hidden Markov Models is an essential reference source for researchers and engineers working in statistical signal processing or image processing, especially those who are interested in hidden Markov models. It is also of value to those working on statistical modeling.

Book Image Segmentation Using Human Visual System Properties with Applications in Image Compression

Download or read book Image Segmentation Using Human Visual System Properties with Applications in Image Compression written by Heidi A. Peterson and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "In order to represent a digital image, a very large number of bits is required. For example, a 512 x 512 pixel, 256 gray level image requires over two million bits. This large number of bits is a substantial drawback when it is neceaary to store or transmit a digital image. Image compression, often referred to as image coding, attempts to reduce the number of bits used to represent an image, while keeping the degradation in the decoded image to a minimum. One approach to image compression is segmentation-based image compression. The image to be compressed is segmented, i.e., the pixels in the image are divided into mutually exclusive spatial regions based on some criteria.

Salient features of this book include: four new image compression algorithms and implementation of these algorithms; detailed discussion of fuzzy geometry measures and their application in image compression algorithms; new domain decomposition based algorithms using image quality measures and study of various quality measures for gray scale image compression; compression algorithms for different parallel architectures and evaluation of time complexity for encoding on all architectures; parallel implementation of image compression algorithms on a cluster in Parallel Virtual Machine (PVM) environment.

Book Applications of Deep Learning and Computer Vision to Image Compression

Download or read book Applications of Deep Learning and Computer Vision to Image Compression written by Binglin Li and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional image compression generally relies on linear transform, and does not have knowledge of the content of the image. The motivations of this thesis are to apply deep learning and computer vision to address these problems in various aspects. Traditional codecs such as JPEG usually have inevitable compression artifacts. In Chapter 4, a stacked multi-context channel-wise attention network is built, where it adaptively integrates features from different scales along the channel dimension to remove JPEG compression artifacts. Experiments show that our model outperforms other methods with low complexity. In Chapter 5, we embed the Trellis Coded Quantizer (TCQ) into a deep learning-based image compression framework. Since the gradient of quantization is zero almost everywhere and the discrete probability distribution is non-differentiable, a soft approximation is applied to backpropagate gradients through the quantizer during training. A base layer that incorporates vision transformers for variable-rate image compression is presented in Chapter 6. Deep image compression models are trained separately for each bit rate which is quite time-consuming. The residual coding is adopted as an enhancement layer to obtain results across a range of bit rates with a single trained model. Our model gets higher or comparable performance compared with other variable-rate learned image compression models. At last, we design learned image compression models and test the reconstructed images with the downstream computer vision tasks. Region-of-interest (ROI) coding methods encode the foreground with better quality than the background. A ROI-based deep image compression model with Swin transformers is proposed in Chapter 7. The binary ROI mask is integrated into different layers of the network to provide spatial information guidance. Our model outperforms non-ROI methods in ROI compression, thus contributing to higher object detection and instance segmentation performance. In Chapter 8, we are interested in jointly optimizing an image compression model and a computer vision model. A novel adaptive bit allocation strategy that combines an object mask and the channel attention module is integrated into the learned image compression architecture. Experiments are conducted on three diverse computer vision tasks and they show good image compression performance and superior computer vision accuracy.

Book Pattern Recognition and Image Processing in C

Download or read book Pattern Recognition and Image Processing in C written by Dietrich Paulus and published by Vieweg+Teubner Verlag. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parts of this text were used for several years by students in a one~term under graduate course in computer science. The students had to prepare projects in small groups (2~4 students).1 This book emphasizes practical experience with image processing. It offers a comprehensive study of • image processing and image analysis, • basics of speech processing, • object~oriented programming, • software design, • and programming in C++. The book is divided into four parts. In the first part we introduce image processing, image analysis, programming tools, and the basics of C++. In the second part we describe object~oriented programming in general and the possible applications of object~oriented concepts in C++. Several appli cations of object~oriented programming for image processing are discussed as well. The new features of C++ are introduced entirely through the use of examples. We cover the proper representation of the data that is a result of pattern analysis as well. The third part describes a complete system for image segmentation. Some of the material covered refers to the exercises found in the first and second parts: this verifies our belief that an image segmentation system of programs can be developed while simultaneously acquainting others to C++. We combine the data representation described in the second part with the algorithms that use and manipulate them here in the third part.

Book Semantic Video Object Segmentation for Content Based Multimedia Applications

Download or read book Semantic Video Object Segmentation for Content Based Multimedia Applications written by Ju Guo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semantic Video Object Segmentation for Content-Based Multimedia Applications provides a thorough review of state-of-the-art techniques as well as describing several novel ideas and algorithms for semantic object extraction from image sequences. Semantic object extraction is an essential element in content-based multimedia services, such as the newly developed MPEG4 and MPEG7 standards. An interactive system called SIVOG (Smart Interactive Video Object Generation) is presented, which converts user's semantic input into a form that can be conveniently integrated with low-level video processing. Thus, high-level semantic information and low-level video features are integrated seamlessly into a smart segmentation system. A region and temporal adaptive algorithm was further proposed to improve the efficiency of the SIVOG system so that it is feasible to achieve nearly real-time video object segmentation with robust and accurate performances. Also included is an examination of the shape coding problem and the object segmentation problem simultaneously. Semantic Video Object Segmentation for Content-Based Multimedia Applications will be of great interest to research scientists and graduate-level students working in the area of content-based multimedia representation and applications and its related fields.
