[IEEE 2018 Eighth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA) - Xi'an, China (2018.11.7-2018.11.10)] 2018 Eighth International Conference on Image Processing Theory, Tools and Applications (IPTA) - A New Database for Evaluating Underwater Image Processing Methods
摘要： In this paper, we present a new, large-scale database on underwater image, which is called the NWPU underwater image database. This database contains 6240 underwater images of 40 objects. Each object is captured with 6 different levels of turbidity water, 4 lighting conditions and 6 different distances. Among them, we use the underwater images with turbidity value of 0 as Ground-truth. In addition, we captured the shadowless image of the object in the air and clear water. Different from other underwater databases, we capture underwater images with real high turbidity lake water instead of simulating the turbidity of water. This method ensures that the underwater images we captured are as close as possible to the real environment. We have given the database baseline which contains multi-scale Retinex with color restore (MSRCR) algorithms for enhancing images and four commonly used image quality evaluation criteria, including two full-references and two no-references methods. The four image quality evaluation methods include two no-reference and two full reference.

Extension of the range of profile surface roughness measurements using metrological atomic force microscope
摘要： The calibration service of profile surface roughness by using a metrological atomic force microscope is now available at National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ), AIST. The calibration method is designed by referring to ISO 19606: 2017 (JIS R 1683: 2014). The scope of the ISO 19606: 2017, however, is limited to roughness measurements of surfaces with an arithmetical mean roughness, Ra, in the range of about 1 nm–30 nm. Currently there is strong demand for the measurement of surface roughness of more than 30 nm in the precision machining industry and for the measurement of surface roughness of sub-nanometer order in the semiconductor industry. In order to meet such demand, it is necessary to extend the range of surface roughness measurements in the NMIJ's calibration service. In this study, authors performed surface roughness measurements using a metrological AFM and evaluated their uncertainties. As a result of a series of measurements and evaluation of their uncertainties, it has been found that the calibration range can be extended to surfaces with an arithmetical mean roughness, Ra, in the range of about 0.2 nm–100 nm. The measurement results and the future challenges are reported in this paper.

[IEEE 2018 25th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) - Athens (2018.10.7-2018.10.10)] 2018 25th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) - Evaluation on the Compactness of Supervoxels
摘要： Supervoxels are perceptually meaningful atomic spatio-temporal regions in videos, which has great potential to reduce the computational complexity of downstream video applications. Many methods have been proposed for generating supervoxels. To effectively evaluate these methods, a novel supervoxel library and benchmark called LIBSVX with seven collected metrics was recently established. In this paper, we propose a new compactness metric which measures the shape regularity of supervoxels and is served as a necessary complement to the existing metrics. To demonstrate its necessity, we first explore the relations between the new metric and existing ones. Correlation analysis shows that the new metric has a weak correlation with (i.e., nearly independent of) existing metrics, and so reflects a new characteristic of supervoxel quality. Second, we investigate two real-world video applications. Experimental results show that the new metric can effectively predict some important application performance, while most existing metrics cannot do so.

Infrared thermographic test for removing background reflection based on polarization theory
摘要： The infrared thermographic test is often influenced by the environment, which sometimes causes false defect detection. Thus, the background reflection from sunlight or neighboring structures is a serious problem. In the present study, we solve this problem by quantitatively separating the background reflection and the defects by using the polarization theory for dielectrics. The proposed program can remove the background reflection and obtain a thermal image including only the emitted energy from the defect part. According to the experimental results, we establish a reflection removal infrared thermographic test using the polarization theory for dielectrics.

High-energy industrial 2D X-ray imaging system with effective nonlocal means denoising for nondestructive testing
摘要： High-energy industrial X-ray imaging systems are widely used in the field of nondestructive testing for the detection of defects in mechanical material. To improve the defect detection ratio, it is highly important to reduce the amount of noise in this process. The purpose of this study is to develop a nonlocal means denoising algorithm in order to evaluate noise characteristics in a 450 kVp high-energy industrial X-ray imaging system. The analysis approach is tested on two phantom images, and image performance is evaluated by visual assessment, as well as the normalized noise power spectrum, contrast to noise ratio, and coefficient of variation. Improvement in image performance is attributed to the use of NLM denoising algorithm on high-energy industrial X-ray images, and results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces image noise.

Accurate Sizing of Residential Stand-Alone Photovoltaic Systems Considering System Reliability
摘要： In rural areas or in isolated communities in developing countries it is increasingly common to install micro-renewable sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) systems, by residential consumers without access to the utility distribution network. The reliability of the supply provided by these stand-alone generators is a key issue when designing the PV system. The proper system sizing for a minimum level of reliability avoids unacceptable continuity of supply (undersized system) and unnecessary costs (oversized system). This paper presents a method for the accurate sizing of stand-alone photovoltaic (SAPV) residential generation systems for a pre-established reliability level. The proposed method is based on the application of a sequential random Monte Carlo simulation to the system model. Uncertainties of solar radiation, energy demand, and component failures are simultaneously considered. The results of the case study facilitate the sizing of the main energy elements (solar panels and battery) depending on the required level of reliability, taking into account the uncertainties that affect this type of facility. The analysis carried out demonstrates that deterministic designs of SAPV systems based on average demand and radiation values or the average number of consecutive cloudy days can lead to inadequate levels of continuity of supply.

Quasi-Two-Stage Multi-Functional Photovoltaic Inverter with Power Quality Control and Enhanced Conversion Efficiency
摘要： The Hausdorff distance (HD) between two point sets is a commonly used dissimilarity measure for comparing point sets and image segmentations. Especially when very large point sets are compared using the HD, for example when evaluating magnetic resonance volume segmentations, or when the underlying applications are based on time critical tasks, like motion detection, then the computational complexity of HD algorithms becomes an important issue. In this paper we propose a novel efficient algorithm for computing the exact Hausdorff distance. In a runtime analysis, the proposed algorithm is demonstrated to have nearly-linear complexity. Furthermore, it has efficient performance for large point set sizes as well as for large grid size; performs equally for sparse and dense point sets; and finally it is general without restrictions on the characteristics of the point set. The proposed algorithm is tested against the HD algorithm of the widely used national library of medicine insight segmentation and registration toolkit (ITK) using magnetic resonance volumes with extremely large size. The proposed algorithm outperforms the ITK HD algorithm both in speed and memory required. In an experiment using trajectories from a road network, the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms an HD algorithm based on R-Trees.

A Cell Viability Evaluation Method Based on Respiratory Thermodynamic Feature Detected by Microscopic Infrared Thermal Imaging Sensor
摘要： Cell viability is an important indicator while screening drugs. An inaccurate evaluation of cell viability can cause large errors in anti-tumor dose experiments, and this becomes very unfavorable for cancer treatment. In this paper, there is a new cell viability evaluation method based on respiratory thermodynamic feature that includes the respiratory intensity, proliferation rate, and heat released by cells. These three parameters can be directly measured by a microscopic infrared thermal imaging sensor, which is fast and non-invasive and does not require consumables. The three parameters were simultaneously measured based on a micro-infrared thermal imaging sensor and fitted to the mathematical model. Finally, the method was verified by comparing it with traditional counting method and comparing the amount of omethoate with traditional counting method. The results indicated that omethoate is 12.36% lower than in the traditional counting method with the same level of complete cell inactivation. Therefore, this method is more accurate than the conventional cell viability assessment method, and the dosage is more precise when the uniform effect is achieved, which provides a basis for precise doses in tumor treatment and can reduce side effects in the human body. This method has a significant effect on the manufacture of cell activity detecting sensors.

摘要： This paper proposes a generic methodology for the semi-automatic generation of reliable position annotations for evaluating multi-camera people-trackers on large video data sets. Most of the annotation data are automatically computed, by estimating a consensus tracking result from multiple existing trackers and people detectors and classifying it as either reliable or not. A small subset of the data, composed of tracks with insufficient reliability, is verified by a human using a simple binary decision task, a process faster than marking the correct person position. The proposed framework is generic and can handle additional trackers. We present results on a data set of ～6 h captured by 4 cameras, featuring a person in a holiday flat, performing activities such as walking, cooking, eating, cleaning, and watching TV. When aiming for a tracking accuracy of 60 cm, 80% of all video frames are automatically annotated. The annotations for the remaining 20% of the frames were added after human verification of an automatically selected subset of data. This involved ～2.4 h of manual labor. According to a subsequent comprehensive visual inspection to judge the annotation procedure, we found 99% of the automatically annotated frames to be correct. We provide guidelines on how to apply the proposed methodology to new data sets. We also provide an exploratory study for the multi-target case, applied on the existing and new benchmark video sequences.
