Abstract A crucial task in hyperspectral image (HSI) taxonomy is exploring effective methodologies to effusively practice the 3-D and spectral data delivered by the statistics cube. For classification of images, 3-D data is adjudged in the phases of pre-cataloging, an assortment of a sample, classifiers, post-cataloging, and accurateness estimation. Lastly, a viewpoint on imminent examination directions for proceeding 3-D and spectral approaches is untaken. In topical years, sparse representation is acknowledged as a dominant classification tool to effectually labels deviating difficulties and extensively exploited in several imagery dispensation errands. Encouraged by those efficacious solicitations, sparse representation… More >

Abstract Spatially Constrained Mixture Model (SCMM) is an image segmentation model that works over the framework of maximum a-posteriori and Markov Random Field (MAP-MRF). It developed its own maximization step to be used within this framework. This research has proposed an improvement in the SCMM’s maximization step for segmenting simulated brain Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs). The improved model is named as the Weighted Spatially Constrained Finite Mixture Model (WSCFMM). To compare the performance of SCMM and WSCFMM, simulated T1-Weighted normal MRIs were segmented. A region of interest (ROI) was extracted from segmented images. The similarity level More >

Abstract Detecting moving objects in the stationary background is an important problem in visual surveillance systems. However, the traditional background subtraction method fails when the background is not completely stationary and involves certain dynamic changes. In this paper, according to the basic steps of the background subtraction method, a novel non-parametric moving object detection method is proposed based on an improved ant colony algorithm by using the Markov random field. Concretely, the contributions are as follows: 1) A new nonparametric strategy is utilized to model the background, based on an improved kernel density estimation; this approach More >

Abstract Compressing encrypted images remains a challenge. As illustrated in our previous work on compression of encrypted binary images, it is preferable to exploit statistical characteristics at the receiver. Through this line, we characterize statistical correlations between adjacent bitplanes of a gray image with the Markov random field (MRF), represent it with a factor graph, and integrate the constructed MRF factor graph in that for binary image reconstruction, which gives rise to a joint factor graph for gray images reconstruction (JFGIR). By exploiting the JFGIR at the receiver to facilitate the reconstruction of the original bitplanes… More >
