Hazy images suffer from low visibility since the light gets scattered as it passes through various atmospheric particles. Moreover, such are prone to color distortion, particularly in real weather conditions like sandstorms. In this letter, an effective dehazing technique is proposed using weighted least squares filtering on dark channel prior and correction that involves automatic detection of cast images. We show spread hue a hazy image can differentiate non-cast one. propose measure same...
A new type of wave front shearing interferometer is described in which two images the under test are different sizes made to interfere. When centres coincide, this results effectively shear along radial direction. It shown that interpretation resulting interferogram comparatively easy. In addition, instrument extremely convenient handle, since all adjustments can be with a white light source.
Real-world image degradation due to light scattering can be described based on the Koschmieder’s model. Training deep models restore such degraded images is challenging as real-world paired data scarcely available and synthetic may suffer from domain-shift issues. In this paper, a zero-shot single restoration model proposed leveraging theoretically deduced property of through Our network estimates parameters model, which describes in input image, perform restoration. We show that suitable...
Quantifying ambiguities in images using fuzzy set theory has been of utmost interest to researchers the field image processing. In this paper, we present use rough and its certain generalizations for quantifying compare it theory. We propose classes entropy measures based on generalizations, perform rigorous theoretical analysis provide some properties which they satisfy. Grayness spatial are then quantified proposed measures. demonstrate utility effectiveness by considering elementary...
Histogram equalization, which aims at information maximization, is widely used in different ways to perform contrast enhancement images. In this paper, an automatic exact histogram specification technique proposed and for global local of The desired obtained by first subjecting the image a modification process then maximizing measure that represents increase decrease ambiguity. A new method measuring based upon band-limited approach center-surround retinal receptive field model also devised...
A wavefront shearing interferometer is described which can be conveniently used for routine tests of optical systems with relative apertures f/6 or less. The necessity equalizing the two paths has been eliminated in this instrument, making it extremely easy to adjust and handle. At same time, shear continuously varied, so that zonal errors easily identified.
This paper presents a novel histogram thresholding methodology using fuzzy and rough set theories. The strength of the proposed lies in fact that it does not make any prior assumptions about unlike many existing techniques. For bilevel thresholding, every element is associated with one two regions by comparing corresponding errors association. are considered ambiguous nature, and, hence, error measures based on fuzziness or roughness regions. Multilevel carried out method tree structured...
When the rays emerging from a conventional two-beam interferometer are reflected back through instrument, fringes similar in appearance and behavior to three-beam obtained. Extremely accurate measurements possible with help of these fringes, using photometric setting criterion. The mode formation as well theoretical intensity distribution them under various conditions, discussed.
A noise-suppressing low-light image enhancement approach is proposed in this paper based on the extent of exposedness at each pixel. To end, a progressive, structure-aware estimation procedure presented that quantifies local and global exposedness. These values are leveraged to produce locally smooth pixel-level map signifies required degrees pixels. This subsequently used an function, which satisfies few important properties, generate enhanced image. Before enhancement, inherent noise...
In the instrument described, collimated light from lens which is being tested directed into a triangular path interferometer in two beams are sheared by tilting single, parallel plate, while difference between them varied linearly with time, over range of one wavelength, means polarizing system. The modulus and argument frequency response obtained directly amplitude phase resultant sinusoidal variation total flux interference pattern.
The instrument described utilizes a beam dividing system similar to that used in the Jamin interferometer, but employs three interfering beams instead of two. This permits determination fractional fringe order with an extremely high degree accuracy. It can be for studying very small changes refractive index gases and liquids, and, slightly modified form, as auto-collimating interferometer precise measurement thickness evaporated films.
A triangular path shearing interferometer is described which can be used for the examination of large transparent objects. It has advantage that it conveniently adapted to an existing schlieren system, affording possibility quantitative measurements. The additional optical elements required are only comparatively small aperture and therefore quite inexpensive.
