Base class for Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization. Equalizes the histogram of a grayscale image using Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram. Hello all. I would like to implement an extension of the well-known CLAHE histogram equalization method in Matlab. Currently, Matlab provides routines. Adaptive Histogram Equalization. Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization. Histogram...

We present PRISMA’s Video Copy Detection system (P-VCD). The system is based on visual-only global descriptors, weighted combinations of distances, a pivotbased index structure, and a novel approximated search and voting algorithm for copy localization. We submitted four Runs to TRECVID 2010 CCD task: PRISMA.m.balanced.ehdNgryhst: a combination of edge histogram and gray histogram. PRISMA.m.bal...

In this study, a novel fault diagnosis system for rotating machinery using thermal imaging is proposed. This system consists of bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) for image enhancement, a generalized discriminant analysis (GDA) for feature reduction, and a relevance vector machine (RVM) for fault classification. Firstly, the thermal image obtained from machine conditions is deco...

Pedestrian detection is an important problem in the design of driving assistance systems that can reduce accidents and save lives. Although many annotated visible pedestrian datasets are publically available, similar annotated thermal datasets are rare. Such datasets are essential for training a classifier that can be used for pedestrian detection at night from thermal images. Manual annotation...

Histogram equalization is a nonlinear technique for adjusting the contrast of an image using its histogram. It increases the brightness of a gray scale image which is different from the mean brightness of the original image. There are various types of Histogram equalization techniques like Histogram Equalization, Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization, Brightness Preserving Bi Histogr...

Driven by the prominent thermal signature of humans and following the growing availability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), more and more research efforts have been focusing on the detection and tracking of pedestrians using thermal infrared images recorded from UAVs. However, pedestrian detection and tracking from the thermal images obtained from UAVs pose many challenges due to the low-res...

Histogram warping is a novel histogram specification technique for use in color image processing. As a general purpose tool for color correction, our technique constructs a global color mapping function in order to transform the colors of a source image to match a target color distribution to any desired degree of accuracy. To reduce the risk of color distortion, the transformation takes place ...

Obtaining accurate 3d descriptions in the thermal infrared (TIR) is a quite challenging task due to the low geometric resolutions of TIR cameras and the low number of strong features in TIR images. Combining the radiometric information of the thermal infrared with 3d data from another sensor is able to overcome most of the limitations in the 3d geometric accuracy. In case of dynamic scenes with...
