Automated retinal image analysis holds prime significance in the accurate diagnosis of
various critical eye diseases that include diabetic retinopathy (DR), age-related macular …

The same sensor or a number of image sensors are used to take a series of photographs in
order to gather as much data as possible about the scene. Several imaging techniques are …

It is known that local filtering-based edge preserving smoothing techniques suffer from halo
artifacts. In this paper, a weighted guided image filter (WGIF) is introduced by incorporating …

In order to achieve perceptually better fusion of infrared (IR) and visible images than
conventional pixel-level fusion algorithms based on multi-scale decomposition (MSD), we …

It is ubiquitous that meaningful structures are formed by or appear over textured surfaces.
Extracting them under the complication of texture patterns, which could be regular, near …

We present a new image editing method, particularly effective for sharpening major edges
by increasing the steepness of transition while eliminating a manageable degree of low …

In this paper, we propose a novel explicit image filter called guided filter. Derived from a
local linear model, the guided filter computes the filtering output by considering the content …

Like bilateral filter (BF), cross bilateral filter (CBF) considers both gray-level similarities and
geometric closeness of the neighboring pixels without smoothing edges, but it uses one …

Ride-hailing platforms (eg, Uber and Didi Chuxing) have become increasingly popular in
recent years. Efficiency has always been an important metric for such platforms. However …

In this paper we present a new method for estimating the optical transmission in hazy
scenes given a single input image. Based on this estimation, the scattered light is eliminated …
