Compressive Underwater Video Camera

چکیده
A tertiary goal, which we plan to explore in depth in future research, is the integration of image compression with automated target recognition (ATR). Two cases are of interest to this study. First, we have shown that one can achieve increased processing efficiency by applying specially configured ATR operations to compressed imagery [Sch97c,d]. Second, we have developed techniques for prefiltering multi-target imagery to downselect candidate targets prior to compression [Sch96]. The first technique uses compression to increase computational efficiency of ATR processes, while the second technique employs ATR to increase the effective compression ratio.

Underwater Image Restoration: Effect of Different Dictionaries
Ocean engineering has a strong need for clear and high quality underwater images. Capturing a clear scene underwater is not a trivial task since color cast and scattering caused by light attenuation and absorption are common. The poor quality hinders the automatic segmentation or analysis of the images. In this work, an image restoration based on compressive sensing is reported which tackles wi...
متن کاملImproving underwater vision using confocal imaging
Confocal microscopy is a family of techniques that employ patterned illumination and synchronized imaging to create cross-sectional views of biological specimens. In this paper, we adapt confocal imaging to improving visibility underwater by replacing the optical apertures used in microscopy with arrays of video projectors and cameras. In our principal experiment, we show that using one project...

This paper presents a deformable template object recognition method for classifying fish species in underwater video. This method can be a component of a system that automatically identifies fish by species, improving upon previous works which only detect and track fish and those that rely on significant inter-species shape variations or special equipment. Our method works with video shot by a ...
متن کاملCompressive Imaging for Video Representation and Coding
Compressive Sensing is an emerging field based on the revelation that a small group of nonadaptive linear projections of a compressible signal contains enough information for reconstruction and processing. In this paper, we propose algorithms and hardware to support a new theory of Compressive Imaging. Our approach is based on a new digital image/video camera that directly acquires random proje...
