While significantly reducing the instances required to represent an image in contrary to the quadtree and the linear quadtree, however, NAIR has lost the explicit space relationship among these instances and hence made some geometric operations such as perimeter computation hard to be implemented. In this paper, longitude and latitude grid (L^2G), a data structure which can restore lost space relationship from the NAIR is first presented, and then a novel algorithm to compute the perimeters of the images represented by the NAIR is presented. The experimental results show that the new algorithm has saved at least 90% of the running time comparing with that based on the quadtree.展开更多

The non-symmetry and anti-packing model (NAM) is a general pattern representation model that has been developed to help design some efficient image representation methods. In this paper, inspired by the idea of computing moments based on the S-Tree coding (STC) representation and by using the NAM and extended shading (NAMES) approach, we propose a fast algorithm for computing lower order moments based on the NAMES representation, which takes O(N) time where N is the number of NAM blocks. By taking three idiomatic standard gray images 'Lena', 'F16', and 'Peppers' in tile field of image processing as typical test objects, and by comparing our proposed algorithm with the conventional algorithm and the popular STC representation algorithm for computing the lower order moments, the theoretical and experimental results presented in this paper show that the average execution time improvement ratios of the proposed NAMES approach over the STC approach, and also the conventional approach are 26.63%, and 82.57% respectively while maintaining the image quality.展开更多

By tak- ing some idiomatic standard binary images in the field of image processing as typical test objects, and by comparing our proposed NAMCEP representation with linear quadtree (LQT), binary tree (Bintree), non-symmetry and anti-packing model (NAM) with K-lines (NAMK), and NAM representa- tions, we show that NAMCEP can not only reduce the aver- age node, but also simultaneously improve the average com- pression. We also present a novel NAMCEP-based algorithm for area calculation and show experimentally that our algo- rithm offers significant improvements.展开更多
