Exposure fusion is an efficient method for directly fusing multi-exposure images into a high-quality low dynamic range image, without the high dynamic range (HDR) production and tone mapping process. The previous exposure fusion methods only produced an image that contains a fixed amount of details, which can not satisfy further demands for more detail information. We introduce Local Laplacian ...

A level set based detail extraction method from images is presented in this paper. The method uses level set to encode the large-scale variation in the image and extracts detail from this variation. This method can compute the detail from images quite fast. The separated detail can be used for compensating the detail loss in High Dynamic Range (HDR) image compression using global tone mapping a...

Sky/cloud images obtained from ground-based sky-cameras are usually captured using a fish-eye lens with a wide field of view. However, the sky exhibits a large dynamic range in terms of luminance, more than a conventional camera can capture. It is thus difficult to capture the details of an entire scene with a regular camera in a single shot. In most cases, the circumsolar region is over-expose...

Because of the progress of the digital camera technique recently, we can directly obtain the HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) from camera. Nevertheless, limited by display, we still transfer the HDRI to the display which can show LDRI (Low Dynamic Range Image). This technique is known as tone-mapping. The goal of tone-mapping is to compress the luminance dynamic range into low dynamic range whil...

Hysteresis loop curves are highly important for numerical simulations of materials deformation under cyclic loadings. The models mainly take account of only the tensile half of the stabilized cycle in hysteresis loop for identification of the constants which don’t vary with accumulation of plastic strain and strain range of the hysteresis loop. This approach may be quite erroneous particularly ...

In the field of solar radio, the high performance solar radio receiver which has high sensitivity, large dynamic range is necessary to observe the radio storm fine structure. The low noise floor solar radio receiver can meet the observation request. By the theory analysis of the radio storm receiver’s noise floor and combining with the characteristic of solar radio storm, the paper submits a me...

`Over-segmentation', `under-segmentation', `good results' and similar subjective terms appear frequently in the literature on range image segmentation. However, even though the need for standardized segmentation error metrics has been long recognized, no formal methodology for evaluating a range image segmentation has appeared. This paper describes a framework in which to carry out such an eval...

In a series of recent papers Singh et al. have explored the idea of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) using range-only measurements. These measurements, obtained from radio or sonar sensors, come at irregular time intervals. In this report we explore the use of interpolation to generate data equally spaced in time, in order to improve the performance of SLAM algorithms. We test this ...

This paper presents a new class AB programmable square-root domain (SRD) filter. The main advantages of the proposed circuits are low power consumption, wide input dynamic range with small standby current and potential for low-voltage operation. Simulation results confirm the validity of the proposed design technique and the high performance of the proposed circuits. Key-Words: Square-root doma...
