First, the proposed method segments the image domain into two domains, a speckle domain and a non-speckle domain, based on the statistical properties of isolated speckles in the Laplacian domain. Then, depending on the domain type, different conductance coefficients in the proposed fourth-order PDE are adopted. Moreover, the frequency approach is used to determine the optimum iteration stopping time. Compared with the existing fourth-order PDEs, the proposed fourth-order PDE can remove isolated speckles and keeps the edges from being blurred. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The scheme first changes an ordinary RGB digital image with 8 bits into unrecognizable disorder codes and then transforms the disorder codes into an RGB digital image with 16 bits for transmitting. A receiver uses a non-symmetric key to verify the authentication of the received data origin, and decrypts the ciphertext. The scheme can encrypt and decz:Fpt most formatted digital RGB images recognized by computers, and recover the plaintext almost without any errors. The scheme is suitable to be applied in network image communications. The analysis of the key space, sensitivity of key parameters, and correlation of encrypted images imply that this scheme has sound security.展开更多

It is one of the essential steps in information processing in remote sensing. To attain a highly accurate, reliable and low computation cost in image registration a suitable and similarity metric and reduction in search data and search space is required. In this paper, the author shows that if the right bin size is chosen, mutual information can be more robust than correlation in the registration of multi-temporal images. The author also compares the sensitivity of mutual information and correlation to Gaussian and multiplicative speckle noise. The author investigates automatic subimage selection as a reduction in search data strategy. The author proposes a measure, called alienability, which shows the ability ofa subimage to provide reliable registration. Alternate subimage selection methods such as using gradient, entropy and variance are also investigated. The author furthermore looks into a search space strategy using a gradient approach to maximize mutual information and show our first results.展开更多
