On the Usage of a Wavelet Coefficient Model in Noise Variance Estimation of Image
Xie Jie-cheng, Zhang Da-li, Xu Wen-li
2004, 26(5): 673-678.
Abstract:
During wavelet image processing, the variance of Gaussian white noise is usually estimated in the finest HH subband. A popular method, proposed by Donoho and Johnstone, is often found to provide too large an estimate. To tackle this problem, this paper presents a new method. The new method takes the rude estimate from Donohos method as the starting point, and then a subband more dominated by noise is produced with the signal filtered out by a filter derived from statistics theory and a newly-proposed coefRcient model, the doubly stochastic process. Thus a finer estimate is possible by using Donohos method on the filtered HH subband. Through employing EM algorithm, the new method can he straightly extended to the case of non-Gaussian noise. Experimental results show that the new method can improve the estimate quite much when compared to Donohos method.
An Image Edge Based Algorithm for Multisensor Image Registration
Chen An-jun, Chen Wei, Mao Shi-yi
2004, 26(5): 679-684.
Abstract:
Image registration is an very important technology in multisensor image fusion. There is little correlation among multisensor images, especially images with different bands. It is very difficult to matching these images. Among some images which can be described in affine model, edge is a very obvious character. In this article, wavelet analysis is used to extract image edge, then correlative deviation is calculated. When correlative deviation reaches the minor, the image registration parameters are obtained. The processing of SPOT and TM images demonstrates the efficacy of the proposed method.

Zhang Xiao-hua, Liu Fang, Jiao Li-cheng
2004, 26(5): 685-689.
Abstract:
Based on the image halftone technique, a new effective image authentication algorithm is proposed with self repairing ability. First, the original image is quantized by 4 bit based 011 the error diffusion image halftone, and then the result is permuted by chaos operator, at the same time the halftone color set is constructed with the least quantization error. Next, the permuted image is hidden into the original image based on the error diffusion watermark algorithm. When the watermarked image is received, to verify the authenticity of the received image, the hidden information is extracted out from the received image and permuted inversely. If the received image is similar to the extracted information, the received image is creditable, else that is to say, there exists a local region that is dissimilarity, i.e. the region is tampered, according to corresponding region of extracted information, the tampered region is repaired. Finally, experimental result to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed image authentication technique is presented.

Abstract:
A novel blind deconvolution algorithm based on autocorrelation function of band-pass signal is proposed, only single input is required. The input data is transformed to its complex baseband through demodulation and decimation processing. For the baseband signal, a blind deconvolution algorithm is deduced, which minimizes the squared sum of the real part of the signal autocorrelation function over a region excluding a region near the zero delay point. Computer simulations show that the algorithm works well. It is widely applicable for bandpass Gaussian as well as non-Gaussian signals.
Parameter and 2-D AOA Estimation of LFM Sources with Spatio-Temporal Undersampling
Tian Da, Chen Tian-qi
2004, 26(5): 709-714.
Abstract:
Time-Frequency parameter estimation and direction finding for nonstationary signals impinging on an antenna array over a wide frequency band (2~18GHz) is under in-vestigation, and a new method for parameter and 2-D Angle-Of-Arrival (AOA) estimation of spatio-temporal undersampled LFM sources is proposed in this paper. The proposed method uses time domain dechirp algorithm for chirp rates estimation. By filtering in the fractional Fourier domain, signals are extracted from the mixture of sources and noise. Un-ambiguous initial frequency estimates are obtained from the output of the reference element and its time delayed version, while 2-D AOA estimation is based on the array model in FRFT beamspace. Numerical simulations show that this method can deal with multiple LFM sources. Parameter and AOA estimation with high accuracy is available at low SNR.
Segmentation and Tracking of Video Object of Interest Based on Change of Multi-frames Edge
Liu Long, Liu Gui-zhong, Wang Zhan-hui, Wang Li-ming
2004, 26(5): 715-721.
Abstract:
It is one of the key technologies to MPEG-4 grade codes based on target to segment and track the concerned video objects from the video scene. Most current seg-mentation and tracking algorithms are of high complexity but not effective in getting rid of background noise. One algorithm is put forward to segment and trace video objects based on edge difference among multiple frames. According to the proposed algorithm, edge difference between a group of frames is used to draw the area of moving objects; then, background pixels are removed through setting up pixel-measuring window and threshold value; the area of objects is set up by morphology operator; at the same time, vectors between the last concerned objects per frame and moving objects of present frame are established to follow current concerned objects. The result of various standard video test sequences shows that the proposed algorithm offers more accurate, faster and more effective segmentation and tracking of concerned video moving objects.

Abstract:
In this paper, an unsupervised Wishart classification scheme for polarimetric interferometric SAR data sets is introduced. A 6x6 polarimetric interferometric coherency matrix is used, in order to take simultaneously into account the full polarimetric information from one single image and the coherency information between the pair of these images. This classification scheme is applied to full polarimetric interferometric L-band SAR image pairs of Tien Shan, China, acquired by the NASA/JPL SIR-C/X-SAR sensor in 1994. The results show that this scheme can identify different terrain types and at the same time keep thr details of surface features, which improve greatly the results of the polarimetric unsupervised Wishart classification.

2004, 26(5): 760-765.
Abstract:
Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation (OSIC), the conventional detec-tion algorithm for VBLAST, decreases the complexity, comparing with the Maximum Like-lihood (ML), but its performance is much worse than that of ML. In this paper, Partial Decision OSIC (PD_OSIC), a modified detection algorithm is presented for VBLAST. It in-creases the number of candidate decision symbols and uses ML detection in the last layer, so it improves the detection performance. The simulation results show that the algorithm proposed gets far better performance than OSIC.

2004, 26(5): 771-776.
Abstract:
A motion compensated adaptive frame interpolation technique based on mesh model is proposed considering occlusion issue existed in two-dimensional motion estimation. The whole image is divided into three types of regions in order to perform motion estimation and motion compensated frame interpolation respectively. A more accurate occlusion detec-tion method is presented to improve the precision of detection, which is the main premise of the adaptive interpolation. The motion estimation error introduced by occlusion regions is reduced effectively. Mesh node motion estimation based on feature window matching is used to achieve sub-pixel resolution and overcome block artifacts produced by block matching. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is easy to implement, and solves motion estimation problem existed in occlusion regions effectively. The interpolated image shows better visual performance.

Yang Xiao-long, Zhang Min, Li Le-min, Wang Sheng
2004, 26(5): 789-794.
Abstract:
Because of its scalability, the idea of coarse packet classification can be uti-lized to OBS network. However, due to the limited priorities supported by OBS networks, multi-class burst assembly technique is usually adopted. Hence, a novel map algorithm, i.e. TQ-map, is proposed, which can determine which classes of packets a priority burst can contain, and fit for the multi-class burst assembly. Its most important feature is adaptivity. Compared with S-map, TQ-Map can establish the map relations varying with both traffic condition and QoS requirement, and moreover allocates the burst assembling capacity be-tween packets classes fairly, efficiently and differentially. The only one purpose is to match the QoS requirements of high layers applications. The simulation results show that TQ-Map can effectively achieve the purpose to support QoS.
