1. Abstract In this project, we propose a user-friendly image editing system, Fantasy Illustrator, in order to help people create a new work arbitrary by manipulating images from any collections user desired. In contrast with sophisticated operators Adobe Photoshop provided, our system classifies image editing operators into two critical operations: geometric based operation and tone based oper...

Digital Image Data Management / 23 G eeral D iagostic R adlogy The American College of Radiology, with more than 30,000 members, is the principal organization of radiologists, radiation oncologists, and clinical medical physicists in the United States. The College is a nonprofit professional society whose primary purposes are to advance the science of radiology, improve radiologic services to t...

Security on digital medical image storage system has become a significant concern in today’s healthcare institution. Picture Archiving and Communication (PACS) which is one of current conventional storage systems for digital medical images, faced with several security issues. It fails to guarantee digital medical image survivability, confidentiality and integrity. Based on this issue this study...

In this entry, we provide a tutorial survey of digital image enhancement algorithms and applications. These techniques are considered throughout the image-processing literature and depend significantly on the underlying application. Thus, the survey cannot address every possible realization or application of digital image enhancement. To address this problem, we classify the methods based on tw...

The ongoing development and miniaturization of consumer devices that have image acquisition capabilities increases the need for robust and efficient image stabilization solutions. The need is driven by two main factors: (i) the difficulty to avoid unwanted camera motion when using a small hand-held device (like a camera phone), and (ii) the need for longer integration times due to the small pix...

Publications such as consumer magazines rely heavily on image libraries as sources for the images they publish in their issues. Traditionally, magazine staff discuss their image requirements over the telephone with library staff and the library conducts the search. Many libraries have now developed Web sites allowing their customers to search for images themselves. However this survey found tha...

Preface The purpose of this brief review is to provide the reader with the necessary background to follow material in the book dealing with matrices and vectors, probability, and linear systems. The review is divided into three main sections, each dealing one of the three preceding topics. The following material is highly focused to the needs of someone needing a refresher in one of these topic...

1. Introduction CMOS image sensors have received much attention over the last decade, offering the promise of ultra low power and camera-on-chip integration in standard fabrication processes. This year over 30 million such sensors have been shipped with estimated annual growth rate of over 40%. Most CMOS image sensors shipped today are application-specific (e.g., optical mouse) or used in low-e...
