The autofocusing technique based on contourlet transform is discussed in this paper and an autofocusing method is proposed for images with much information in certain directions. The experimental results show that the proposed method can focus accurately and the sensitivity ratio is higher than that of the other autofocusing methods based on conventional image
A semi-reference image quality assessment metric based on similarity measurement for synthesizedvirtual viewpoint image (WI) in free-viewpoint television system (FTV) is proposed in this paper. Thekey point of the proposed metric is taking resemblant information between WI and its neighbor view imagesfor quality assessment to make our metric to be extended to multi-semi-reference image quality assessmenteasily. The proposed metric first extracts impact factors from image features, then combines animage synthesis technique and similarity functions, in which, disparity information are taken into accountfor registering the resemblant regions. Experiments are divided into three phases. Phase Ⅰ is to verify thevalidation of the proposed metric by taking impaired images and original reference into account. The experimentalresults show the agreement between evaluation scores and bio-characteristic of human visualsystem. Phase Ⅱ shows the accordance with Phase Ⅰ by taking neighbor view as reference. The proposedmetric can be taken as a full reference one to evaluate the image quality even though the original referenceis absent. Phase Ⅲ is then performed to evaluate the quality of ⅤⅥ. Evaluation scores in the experimentalresults are able to evaluate the quality of ⅤⅥ.
Color inconsistency between views is an important problem to be solved in multi-view video applications, such as free viewpoint television and other three-dimensional video systems. In this paper, by combining with multi-view video coding, a coding-oriented multi-view video color correction method is proposed. We first separate foreground and background in first Ggroup Oof Ppictures (GOP) by using SKIP coding mode. Then by transferring means and standard deviations in backgrounds, color correction is performed for each frame in GOP, and multi-view video coding is performed and used to renew the backgrounds. Experimental results show the proposed method can obtain better perform-ances in color correction and multi-view video coding.
Color inconsistency between views is an important problem to be solved in multi-view video systems. A multi-view video color correction method using dynamic programming is proposed.Three-dimensional histograms are constructed with sequential conditional probability in HSI color space.Then,dynamic programming is used to seek the best color mapping relation with the minimum cost path between target image histogram and source image histogram.Finally,video tracking technique is performed to correct multi-view video.Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain better subjective and objective performance in color correction.
