During the acquisition of an image from its source, noise always becomes an integral part of it. Various algorithms have been used in past to denoise the images. Image denoising still has scope for improvement. Visual information…
Contemporary color difference (CD) measures for photographic images typically operate by comparing co-located pixels, patches in a ``perceptually uniform'' color space, or features in a learned latent space. Consequently, these measures…

In computer vision, an entity such as an image or video is often represented as a set of instance vectors, which can be SIFT, motion, or deep learning feature vectors extracted from different parts of that entity. Thus, it is essential to…
Vision-based metric distance and area measurement remains challenging in large-scale outdoor environments due to long-range sensing, camera zoom, and unstable imaging conditions. This work studies planar metric measurement in a real-world…

Noise is a major issue while transferring images through all kinds of electronic communication. One of the most common noise in electronic communication is an impulse noise which is caused by unstable voltage. In this paper, the comparison…
Noise is an important factor which when get added to an image reduces its quality and appearance. So in order to enhance the image qualities, it has to be removed with preserving the textural information and structural features of image.…
Camera motion estimation from observed scene features is an important task in image processing to increase the accuracy of many methods, e.g. optical flow and structure-from-motion. Due to the curved geometry of the state space SE(3) and…
In the absence of a pure noise-free image it is hard to define what noise is, in any original noisy image, and as a consequence also where it is, and in what amount. In fact, the definition of noise depends largely on our own aim in the…
3D Time-of-Flight camera's images are affected by errors due to the diffuse (indirect) light and to the flare light. The presented method improves the 3D image reducing the distance's errors to dark surface objects. This is achieved by…
Light spectra are a very important source of information for diverse classification problems, e.g., for discrimination of materials. To lower the cost for acquiring this information, multispectral cameras are used. Several techniques exist…
