Monitoring the dynamics in wheat crops requires near-term observations with high spatial resolution due to the complex factors influencing wheat growth variability. We studied the prospects for monitoring the biophysical parameters and nitrogen status in wheat crops with low-cost imagery acquired from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) over an 11 ha field. Flight missions were conducted at approxim...

This paper presents a complete coding system for compression of natural color still images represented with 24 bits per pixel. The original 8-bit red, green, and blue (RGB) image components are rst transformed to a luminance (Y) and two chrominance components (Cb, Cr) according to the ITU-R Recommendation 601 1]. Each of the Y, Cb, and Cr tristimulus values are then decomposed separately in a s...

This paper proposes a new method for enhancing the contrast as well as brightness of color images, based on orthogonal D4 Wavelet transform human visual system and also considers distinction between the background and foreground of the images. The RGB (Red, Green, and Blue) values of each pixel in a color image are converted to HSI (Hue, Saturation, and Intensity) value. On the S components of ...

Reducing the number of colors in an image while preserving its quality, is of importance in many applications such as image analysis and compression. It also decreases memory and transmission bandwidth requirements. Moreover, classification of image colors is applicable in image segmentation and object detection and separation, as well as producing pseudo-color images. In this paper, the Kohene...

Preface In the past nine months, I carried out my the final year project of KTH international master's in SoC (System-on-Chip) at NXP Semiconductors Research (NXP), the Netherlands. Thanks to my supervisors, Prof. Axel Jantsch in KTH and Senior Scientist Tomas Henriksson in NXP. Also thanks to Pieter van der Wolf and Bram Riemens in NXP. During my internship they gave me a lot of help on the te...

Abstract. We report a calculation reduction method for color computer-generated holograms (CGHs) using color space conversion. Color CGHs are generally calculated on RGB space. In this paper, we calculate color CGHs in other color spaces: for example, YCbCr color space. In YCbCr color space, a RGB image is converted to the luminance component (Y), blue-difference chroma (Cb) and red-difference ...
