We describe an automated method for detecting clusters of galaxies in imaging and redshift galaxy surveys. The Adaptive Matched Filter (AMF) method utilizes galaxy positions, magnitudes, and—when available—photometric or spectroscopic redshifts to find clusters and determine their redshift and richness. The AMF can be applied to most types of galaxy surveys: from two-dimensional (2D) imaging su...

Based on dark channel priority, the paper proposes an improved defogging algorithm of single image which can defog the foggy images rapidly. The algorithm in the paper applies the method combining adaptive median filter and bilateral filter to figure out clear dark channel on the edge. And the algorithm is based on the physical model of foggy images to estimate transmission. Compared with the t...

The project is aimed at comparing performance of filters for pulse noise removal in images. 22 filters ([1-18]) were implemented on a Matlab platform and tested in terms of: False alarms errors Missing errors Estimation errors due to false alarms and missing Visual quality The comparison results are presented in form of tables in which the filters are sorted in descending order of the quality. ...

In this paper, a real-time denoising filter based on modelling of stable hybrid models is presented. Thehybrid models are composed of the shearlet filter and the adaptive Wiener filter in different forms.The optimization of various models is accomplished by the genetic algorithm. Next, regarding thesignificant relationship between Optimal models and input images, changing the structure of Optim...
