چکیده

A new region-based coding scheme is introduced. It uses generalized parabolic blending curves for contour coding which lead to visually preferable smooth contours and support good local controllability. A rate-distortion criterion is applied to decide which regions should be used for motion compensation and for optimizing the region contours. The conditions for optimal regions in a rate-distortion sense are derived. Simulation results are presented. A gain of about 2 dB in PSNR for region-based motion compensation with optimized regions over block-based motion compensation at very low bit-rates is reported.

An Efficient Genetic Agorithm for Solving the Multi-Mode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem Based on Random Key Representation

In this paper, a new genetic algorithm (GA) is presented for solving the multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) with minimization of project makespan as the objective subject to resource and precedence constraints. A random key and the related mode list (ML) representation scheme are used as encoding schemes and the multi-mode serial schedule generation scheme (MSSG...

Constrained Contouring in the Polar Coordinates

A constrained contour is an outline of a region of interest, obtained by linking edges under the constraints of connectivity, smoothness, image context and subjective or user speciied constraints. We discuss a constrained contouring algorithm in polar coordinates to trace closed contours. The algorithm nds optimal contour locations in all radial direction according to the constraints of context...

Research on Robust Salient Object Extraction in Image a Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Information, Production and Systems of Waseda University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

Object extraction is an essential branch of the computer vision, concerned with the analysis of images to extract useful information from the world. It covers wide range of image processing fields and plays an important role in computer vision. In this dissertation, contour detection is mainly discussed to realize object extraction, realized in three steps: edge detection, contour segment detec...

ناحیه‌بندی مرز اندوکارد بطن چپ در تصاویر تشدید مغناطیسی قلبی با شدت روشنایی غیریکنواخت

The stochastic active contour scheme (STACS) is a well-known and frequently-used approach for segmentation of the endocardium boundary in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. However, it suffers significant difficulties with image inhomogeneity due to using a region-based term based on the global Gaussian probability density functions of the innerouter regions of the active ...
