Structure-Preserving Colorization Based on Quaternionic Phase Reconstruction
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel semiautomatic colorization method is proposed based on quaternionic phase reconstruction. In this method, each color pixel is represented as a quaternion, whose polar magnitude and polar phase are recovered from the intensity of original grayscale image and color scribbles of user’s manual input, respectively. To conduct structure-preserving colorization, color diffusion is restrained across global image structures, which are extracted using hierarchical edge representation along with structural importance measurement. To identify local spatial relationship between neighboring pixels, Gabor wavelets are applied to compute the similarity of local phase patterns. Our method is highlighted in well preserving image structures during colorization, where the color image is acquired by solving a linearly constrained quadratic optimization problem. Specifically, we develop a method to guide the user to scribble on the monochrome image, so that effective color propagation from less manual input can be expected. Experimental results demonstrate that our colorization method outperforms the state-of-the-art method in structural preservation and relatively better colorization results are available if the proposed rule of scribble user guidance is adopted.

QTRU: quaternionic version of the NTRU public-key cryptosystems
In this paper we will construct a lattice-based public-key cryptosystem using non-commutative quaternion algebra, and since its lattice does not fully fit within Circular and Convolutional Modular Lattice (CCML), we prove it is arguably more secure than the existing lattice-based cryptosystems such as NTRU. As in NTRU, the proposed public-key cryptosystem relies for its inherent securi...

In this paper, the colorization-based coding problem has been solved using smooth L0 (SL0) and L1 norm (OMP) minimization sparse recovery algorithms. In colorization-based coding method at the encoder, only few representative pixels (RP) for the chrominance values are sent along with luminance part of image to the decoder where the chrominance values for all the pixels are reconstructed by colo...
متن کاملQuaternionic gabor filters for local structure classification
We introduce quaternionic Gabor filters for the classification of local image structure. These filters are constructed as windowed basis functions of the quaternionic Fourier transform. We show that – in contrast to the 2D complex Gabor filters – the quaternionic Gabor filters are intrinsically 2D filters. A generalized phase concept is introduced and compared to the classical one. It is shown ...
متن کاملImage Reconstruction based on Local feature Descriptors
In this project, we show that an image can be reconstructed using local descriptors, with or without complete geometrical metadata. We use greedy algorithms to progressively learn the missing information before reconstruction and colorization is performed. Our experiments show that most of the vital information about a query image can be recovered even if scale metadata is missing. Compared to ...
متن کاملComplex Diffusion on Scalar and Vector Valued Image Graphs
Complex diffusion was introduced in the image processing literature as a means to achieve simultaneous denoising and enhancement of scalar valued images. In this paper, we present a novel geometric framework to achieve complex diffusion for color images represented by image graphs. In this framework, we develop a novel variational formulation that involves a modified harmonic map functional and...
