Abstract The acquisition of images with a fish-eye lens can cause serious image distortion because of the short focal length
of the lens. As a result, it is difficult to use the obtained image information. To make use of the effective information
in the image, these distorted images must first be corrected into the perspective of projection images in accordance
with the human eye’s observation abilities. To solve this problem, this study presents an adaptive classification fitting
method for fish-eye image correction. The degree of distortion in the image is represented by the difference value
of the distances from the distorted…

Abstract The implementation of content-based image retrieval (CBIR) mainly
depends on two key technologies: image feature extraction and image feature
matching. In this paper, we extract the color features based on Global Color Histogram (GCH) and texture features based on Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix
(GLCM). In order to obtain the effective and representative features of the image,
we adopt the fuzzy mathematical algorithm in the process of color feature extraction and texture feature extraction respectively. And we combine the fuzzy color
feature vector with the fuzzy texture feature vector to form the comprehensive
fuzzy feature vector of the image according to…

Abstract The images capture in a bad environment usually loses its fidelity and
contrast. As the light rays travel towards its destination they get scattered several
times due to the tiny particles of fog and pollutants in the environment, therefore
the energy gets lost due to multiple scattering till it arrives its destination, and this
degrades the images. So the images taken in bad weather appear in bad quality.
Therefore, single image haze removal is quite a bit tough task. Significant
research has been done in the haze removal algorithm but in all the techniques,
the coefficient of scattering is taken…

Abstract Underground pipeline networks constitute a major component of urban
infrastructure, and thus, it is imperative to have an efficient mechanism to manage them.
This study introduces a secondary development system to efficiently model underground
pipeline networks, using the building information modeling (BIM)-based software Revit.
The system comprises separate pipe point and tubulation models. Using a Revit application
programming interface (API), the spatial position and attribute data of the pipe points are
extracted from a pipeline database, and the corresponding tubulation data are extracted
from a tubulation database. Using the Family class in Revit API, the cluster in the self-built

Yao Ma, Xibiao Cai, Fuming Sun

Abstract Image quality assessment has become increasingly important in image quality
monitoring and reliability assuring of image processing systems. Most of the existing
no-reference image quality assessment methods mainly exploit the global information of
image while ignoring vital local information. Actually, the introduced distortion depends
on a slight difference in details between the distorted image and the non-distorted reference
image. In light of this, we propose a no-reference image quality assessment method based
on a multi-scale convolutional neural network, which integrates both global information
and local information of an image. We first adopt the image pyramid method to generate
four scale…

Abstract This paper proposes a novel method of lane detection, which adopts VGG16 as
the basis of convolutional neural network to extract lane line features by cavity
convolution, wherein the lane lines are divided into dotted lines and solid lines.
Expanding the field of experience through hollow convolution, the full connection layer
of the network is discarded, the last largest pooling layer of the VGG16 network is
removed, and the processing of the last three convolution layers is replaced by hole
convolution. At the same time, CNN adopts the encoder and decoder structure mode, and
uses the index function of the…

Abstract The ultimate goal of image denoising from video is to improve the given
image, which can reduce noise interference to ensure image quality. Through denoising
technology, image quality can have effectively optimized, signal-to-noise ratio can have
increased, and the original mage information can have better reflected. As an important
preprocessing method, people have made extensive research on image denoising
algorithm. Video denoising needs to take into account the various level of noise.
Therefore, the estimation of noise parameters is particularly important. This paper
presents a noise estimation method based on variance stability transformation, which

Abstract In view of the uncertainty of the status of primary users in cognitive networks
and the fact that the random detection strategy cannot guarantee cognitive users to
accurately find available channels, this paper proposes a joint random detection strategy
using the idle cognitive users in cognitive wireless networks. After adding idle cognitive
users for detection, the compressed sensing model is employed to describe the number of
available channels obtained by the cognitive base station to derive the detection
performance of the cognitive network at this time. Both theoretical analysis and
simulation results show that using idle cognitive users can reduce…
