In the classical bilateral filter, a fixed Gaussian range kernel is used along with a spatial
kernel for edge-preserving smoothing. We consider a generalization of this filter, the so …

Nowadays, driven by the high demand for autonomous driving and surveillance, infrared
and visible image fusion (IVIF) has attracted significant attention from both the industry and …

Recent studies have demonstrated that a bilateral filter can increase the quality of edge-
preserving image smoothing significantly. Different strategies or mechanisms have been …

In this paper, a fragile watermarking scheme for color-image authentication and self-
recovery is proposed. Original image is divided into non-overlap** blocks, and for each i …

Influenced by glowing effects, nighttime haze removal is a challenging ill-posed task.
Existing nighttime dehazing methods usually result in glowing artifacts, color shifts …

Low-illumination images are usually taken in non-uniform environmental light, such as
extremely dark or bright light or artificial light. The enhancement results achieved by existing …

In the classical bilateral filter, a range kernel is used together with a spatial kernel for
smoothing out fine details while simultaneously preserving edges. More recently, it has been …

A noise-suppressing low-light image enhancement approach is proposed in this paper
based on the extent of exposedness at each image pixel. To this end, a progressive …

We consider the problem of approximating a truncated Gaussian kernel using Fourier
(trigonometric) functions. The computation-intensive bilateral filter can be expressed using …

In the present work, the performance assessment of despeckle filtering algorithms has been
carried out for (a) noise reduction in breast ultrasound images and (b) segmentation of …
