Exploration Of Image Recognition On Specific Patterns and Research Of Sub-pixel Algorithm

Yang, Jeng-Ho 10 July 2002 (has links)
Image processing technologies are broadly applied on modern machine vision and industrial inspection , but there is usually a trade-off between accuracy and speed of inspection . We plan to solve the plight by two steps : 1.We will develop many major image processing methods such as image boundary¡Bto remove the noise¡Bpattern match , and so on . 2.We will focus on sub-pixel algorithm and boundary research to improve the image accuracy and processing time by software under limited hardware . As we know , pixel is the most basic element of an image , but we can divide one pixel into several smaller parts by mathematics ; in the meanwhile , the pixel accuracy can be improved . We will use algorithm to realize the goal in continuous way , and research on the flow of image recognition to find out a best flow for any specific image properties .

Divergence Model for Measurement of Goos-Hanchen Shift

Gray, Jeffrey Frank 08 August 2007 (has links)
In this effort a new measurement technique for the lateral Goos-Hanchen shift is developed, analyzed, and demonstrated. The new technique uses classical image formation methods fused with modern detection and analysis methods to achieve higher levels of sensitivity than obtained with prior practice. Central to the effort is a new mathematical model of the dispersion seen at a step shadow when the Goos-Hanchen effect occurs near critical angle for total internal reflection. Image processing techniques are applied to measure the intensity distribution transfer function of a new divergence model of the Goos-Hanchen phenomena providing verification of the model. This effort includes mathematical modeling techniques, analytical derivations of governing equations, numerical verification of models and sensitivities, optical design of apparatus, image processing

Noise Analysis and Simulation of a Sub-Pixel Analog to Digital Voltage-To-Frequency Converter for use with IR Focal Plane Arrays

Colonero, Curtis Benson 09 January 2007 (has links)
The performance of a dedicated A/D converter located beneath each pixel is explored in this thesis. Specifically, a voltage to frequency converter coupled with a direct injection amplifier designed for use with an IR focal plane array is analyzed. This versatile implementation of a Readout Integrated Circuit can be found applicable to a wide variety of imaging technologies. Noise performance of the conversion system is theoretically calculated, and is supported by SPICE simulations using valid CMOS SPICE models. It is shown that a 10 transistor sub-pixel voltage to frequency analog to digital converter will produce noise that is less than the input shot noise. Design considerations will be addressed to ensure continued performance as the scale of the imagers increase to large format arrays.

Esteves, Rafael Lucio 02 February 2006 (has links)
Dissertação (mestrado)—Universidade de Brasília, Faculdade de Tecnologia, Departamento de Engenharia Civil e Ambiental, 2006. / Submitted by Rosane Cossich Furtado (rosanecossich@gmail.com) on 2010-01-04T17:28:57Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Rafael Esteves 091.pdf: 4853118 bytes, checksum: a451b3bbd996a0991f9b20fad61bf3b1 (MD5) / Approved for entry into archive by Carolina Campos(carolinacamposmaia@gmail.com) on 2010-01-05T17:53:53Z (GMT) No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Rafael Esteves 091.pdf: 4853118 bytes, checksum: a451b3bbd996a0991f9b20fad61bf3b1 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2010-01-05T17:53:53Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Rafael Esteves 091.pdf: 4853118 bytes, checksum: a451b3bbd996a0991f9b20fad61bf3b1 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-02-02 / O crescimento descontrolado das superfícies impermeáveis em áreas urbanas tem conseqüências diretas na quantidade e qualidade do escoamento pluvial. O conhecimento da impermeabilidade do solo das bacias hidrográficas possibilita sua utilização como indicador da qualidade das águas urbanas e como instrumento de planejamento e regulação no sistema de gerenciamento dos recursos hídricos urbanos. Além disso, os estudos hidrológicos necessitam de parâmetros, dentre os quais a porcentagem de área impermeável talvez seja um dos mais importantes. A difusão das técnicas de Sensoriamento Remoto e seu grande potencial motivaram a realização dessa pesquisa, a fim de buscar métodos mais eficientes de estimação da impermeabilidade do solo de bacias hidrográficas. Foram utilizados três diferentes algoritmos de classificação de imagens de satélite para calcular a impermeabilidade de áreas de controle localizadas no Plano Piloto de Brasília- DF. Os algoritmos foram o Modelo Linear de Mistura, já disponível no software SPRING versão 4.1, o classificador Fuzzy com função de pertinência baseada na distância de Mahalanobis e o classificador tradicional MaxVer. Estes dois últimos foram implementados computacionalmente em linguagem JAVA no software Image J. Os algoritmos foram avaliados com imagens digitais de diferentes resoluções espaciais: IKONOS, SPOT, CBERS e LANDSAT. Para efeito de comparação, as áreas impermeáveis foram digitalizadas manualmente na imagem IKONOS e validadas com visitas a campo. Os valores de impermeabilidade assim estimados foram considerados a verdade de campo. Os resultados mostraram que os melhores desempenhos foram obtidos pelo Modelo de Mistura e pelo classificador Fuzzy, que obtiveram erros médios de 21,2% e 23,7%, respectivamente. O classificador MaxVer obteve um erro médio maior, de 31,8%. O Modelo de Mistura apresentou algumas deficiências, como a superestimação das áreas da classe sombra, tendência de subestimar as áreas impermeáveis e tempo de processamento computacional muito alto. A influência da resolução espacial das imagens foi importante apenas para o classificador Maxver. _______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / Impervious surface coverage growth has direct consequences in quantity and quality of stormwater runoff, such as floods and nonpoint source pollution. The quantification of basins’ imperviousness makes possible to use it as a water quality indicator for urban areas and as an important planning and managing instrument in the urban water resources management system. Furthermore, hydrologic studies need parameters, among which impervious surface percentage may be one of the most important. The diffusion of Remote Sensing techniques and their great potential motivated this research, in order to find more efficient methods for estimating impervious surface coverage in basins. Three different algorithms were used to classify satellite images and to calculate imperviousness in control areas located in the city of Brasilia-DF, Brazil. The algorithms used were the Linear Mixture Model, available in software SPRING version 4.1, the Fuzzy classifier with membership function based on Mahalanobis distance, and the traditional Maximum Likelihood classifier (MaxVer). The last two were implemented in JAVA software language as a plugin for the software Image J. The three algorithms were tested with different spatial resolution digital imageries: IKONOS, with 1 meter; SPOT, with 10 meters; CBERS, with 20 meters, and LANDSAT, with 30 meters. To compare with the reality, impervious surfaces were manually digitized over IKONOS imagery and validated with field visits, so that the imperviousness obtained was considered the ground truth. Results showed that best performances were obtained by Linear Mixture Model and by Fuzzy classifier, which had mean errors of 21,2% and 23,7%, respectively. MaxVer classifier obtained greater mean error of 31,8%. Linear Mixture Model, however, showed some deficiencies, such as high values for shadow classes, tendency to underestimate impervious surfaces, and very high computer processing times. The influence of spatial resolution was important only to the MaxVer classifier.

Monitoring vegetation dynamics in Zhongwei, an arid city of Northwest China

Wang, Haitao 10 June 2014 (has links)
This case study used Zhongwei City in northwest China to quantify the urbanization and revegetation processes (1990-2011) through a unified sub-pixel measure of vegetation cover. Research strategies included: (1) Conduct sub-pixel vegetation mapping (1990, 1996, 2004, and 2011) with Random Forest (RF) algorithm by integrating high (OrbView-3) and medium spatial resolution (Landsat TM) data; (2) Examine simple Dark Object Subtraction (DOS) atmospheric correction method to support temporal generalization of sub-pixel mapping algorithm; (3) And characterize patterns of vegetation cover dynamics based on change detection analysis. We found the RF algorithm, combined with simple DOS, showed good generalization capability for sub-pixel vegetation mapping. Predicted sub-pixel vegetation proportions were consistent for "pseudo-invariant" pixels. Vegetation change analysis suggested persistent urban development within the city boundary, accompanied by a continuous expansion of revegetated area at the city fringe. Urban development occurred at both the suburban and urban core areas, and was mainly shaped by transportation networks. A transition in revegetation practices was documented: the large-scale governmental revegetation programs were replaced by the commercial afforestation conducted by industries. This study showed a slight increase in vegetation cover over the time period, balanced by losses to urban expansion, and a likely severe degradation of vegetation cover due to conversion of arable land to desert vegetation. The loss of arable land and the growth of artificial desert vegetation have yielded a dynamic equilibrium in terms of overall vegetation cover during 1990 to 2011, but in the long run vegetation quality is certainly reduced. / Master of Science

Monitoring Property Boundaries for the Appalachian National Scenic Trail Using Satellite Images

Hutchings, James Forrest 06 May 2005 (has links)
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is a unit of the National Park System created by the National Trails Act of 1968. Commonly referred to as the Appalachian Trail, or the AT, this National Park has some of the longest boundaries of any park. The AT is routed more than 2000 miles along the mountains of the eastern United States. The land purchased for the protection of the AT creates a separate boundary on each side of the trail. Monitoring these boundaries for intrusions or encroachments is a difficult and time-consuming task when done totally by field methods. This thesis presents a more efficient and consistent monitoring process using remote sensing data and change detection algorithms. Using Landsat TM images, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and image difference change detection, this research shows that major boundary encroachments can be detected. Detection of sub-pixel vegetation index decreases identifies specific locations for field inspection. Assuming low cost multispectral Landsat imagery is available, simple NDVI difference calculation allows this technique to be applied to the entire AT one or more times per year. This procedure would improve the response time for encroachment mediation. The producer's accuracy for finding possible encroachments was 100 percent and the consumer's accuracy for possible encroachments indicated was 78.3 percent. Due to limited image availability, this study only examines change between one pair of Landsat images. Further refinement of these techniques should investigate other Landsat images at other times. Use of other remote sensing systems and change detection algorithms could be the focus of further research. / Master of Science
