Image fusion is the process of combining two or more images with specific objects with more precision. It is very common that when one object is focused remaining objects will be less highlighted. To get an image highlighted in all areas, a different means is necessary. This is done by the Image Fusion. In remote sensing, the increasing availability of Space borne images and synthetic aperture radar images gives a motivation to different kinds of image fusion algorithms. In the literature a number of time domain image fusion techniques are available. Few transform domain fusion techniques are proposed. In transform domain fusion techniques, the source images will be decomposed, then integrated into a single data and will be reconstructed back into time domain. In this paper, singular value decomposition as a tool to have transform domain data will be utilized for image fusion. In the literature, the quality assessment of fusion techniques is mainly by subjective tests. In this paper, objective quality assessment metrics are calculated for existing and proposed techniques. It has been found that the new image fusion technique outperformed the existing ones.
RADAR Images are strongly preferred for analysis of geospatial information about earth surface to assesse envirmental conditions radar images are captured by different remote sensors and that images are combined together to get complementary information. To collect radar images SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors are used which are active sensors and can gather information during day and night without affecting weather conditions. We have discussed DCT and DWT image fusion methods,which gives us more informative fused image simultaneously we have checked performance parameters among these two methods to get superior method from these two techniques
This document discusses image mosaicing, which is the process of combining multiple overlapping images into a single image with a larger field of view. It describes image mosaicing models and algorithms, including feature extraction, image registration, homographic refinement, image warping and blending. Two main algorithms are presented: unidirectional scanning and bidirectional scanning. The document also discusses applications of image mosaicing like creating panoramic images and immersive virtual environments, and limitations such as difficulties mosaicing more than four images.
An efficient fusion based up sampling technique for restoration of spatially ...ijitjournal
The various up-sampling techniques available in the literature produce blurring artifacts in the upsampled,
high resolution images. In order to overcome this problem effectively, an image fusion based interpolation technique is proposed here to restore the high frequency information. The Discrete Cosine Transform interpolation technique preserves low frequency information whereas Discrete Sine Transform preserves high frequency information. Therefore, by fusing the DCT and DST based up-sampled images, more high frequency, relevant information of both the up-sampled images can be preserved in the restored,
fused image. The restoration of high frequency information lessens the degree of blurring in the fusedimage and hence improves its objective and subjective quality. Experimental result shows the proposed method achieves a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) improvement up to 0.9947dB than DCT interpolation and 2.8186dB than bicubic interpolation at 4:1 compression ratio.
Different Image Fusion Techniques –A Critical ReviewIJMER
This document reviews and compares different image fusion techniques, including spatial domain and transform domain methods. Spatial domain techniques like simple averaging and maximum selection are disadvantageous because they can produce spatial distortions and reduce contrast in the fused image. Transform domain methods like discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and principal component analysis (PCA) perform better by preserving more spatial and spectral information. DWT fusion in particular minimizes spectral distortion and improves the signal-to-noise ratio over pixel-based approaches, though it results in lower spatial resolution. Tables in the document provide quantitative comparisons of different techniques using performance measures like peak signal-to-noise ratio, entropy, and normalized cross-correlation.

This document presents a stereo image reprojection system for immersive virtual reality using images from multiple cameras. The system separates the VR process into rendering images from cameras placed spherically and calculating a view image for display based on head tracking. It develops a method to adjust the interpupillary distance for different head tilts by varying the camera positions. The system is shown to work in real-time on laptops and smartphones using VR headsets to provide an inexpensive way to experience immersive VR. Future work includes optimizing the image size and number of cameras needed.
This document describes a method for pixel-level image fusion using principal component analysis (PCA). PCA is used to transform correlated image pixels into a set of uncorrelated principal components. The first principal component accounts for the most variance in the pixel values. To fuse images, the pixels of the input images are arranged into vectors and subtracted from their mean. PCA is applied to get the eigenvectors corresponding to the largest eigenvalues. The normalized eigenvectors are used to compute a fused image as a weighted sum of the input images. Performance is evaluated using metrics like standard deviation, entropy, cross-entropy, and fusion mutual information, with higher values of these metrics indicating better quality of the fused image.
This document discusses a proposed approach for multi-focus image fusion using a discrete cosine wavelet sharpness criterion. Multi-focus image fusion combines information from multiple images of the same scene to produce an "all-in-focus" image. The proposed approach uses a discrete cosine transform to calculate sharpness values for sub-blocks of the input images and selects the sharpest sub-blocks to include in the fused image. Experimental results on images of a clock, bottle, and book show the discrete cosine wavelet criterion produces fused images with higher quality than a bilateral gradient-based sharpness criterion, as measured by mutual information metrics.
This document discusses image fusion techniques at different levels of abstraction: pixel level, feature level, and decision level. It describes various fusion methods including numerical (e.g. multiplicative, Brovey), color related (e.g. IHS), statistical (e.g. PCA, Gram Schmidt), and feature level (e.g. Ehlers) techniques. Both qualitative (visual) and quantitative (statistical measures like RMSE, correlation coefficient, entropy) methods to assess fusion quality are outlined. Image fusion has applications in improving classification and displaying sharper resolution images.

The document discusses superresolution technology that can improve the resolution of infrared camera images. It begins by explaining the basic problem that small objects may be invisible or measured incorrectly in infrared images due to pixel size limitations. It then describes how superresolution works by using multiple images and deconvolution algorithms to effectively decrease pixel pitch by 1.6x and increase usable resolution also by 1.6x compared to normal images. Experimental results show that superresolution detects spatial frequencies about 50% higher than the camera's detector cutoff and improves temperature measurement accuracy compared to interpolation. The technology will be available as a software update for all current Testo infrared cameras.

This document describes a laser distance measurement system using a webcam. It consists of a laser transmitter and webcam receiver. The laser pulse is reflected off an object and received by the webcam. Software calculates the distance based on the time of flight. The system achieves high accuracy of ±3cm. It calibrates the system using test measurements to determine the relationship between pixel location of the laser dot and actual distance. This allows accurate distance measurements within a few percent of error out to over 2 meters. Potential improvements discussed are using a laser line instead of dot for more data points and a green laser for better visibility.

A STUDY OF VARIATION OF NORMAL OF POLY-GONS CREATED BY POINT CLOUD DATA FOR A...Tomohiro Fukuda
This slide is presented in CAADRIA2011 (The 16th International Conference on Computer Aided Architectural Design Research in Asia).
Abstracts: Acquiring current 3D space data of cities, buildings, and rooms rapidly and in detail has become indispensable. When the point cloud data of an object or space scanned by a 3D laser scanner is converted into polygons, it is an accumulation of small polygons. When object or space is a closed flat plane, it is necessary to merge small polygons to reduce the volume of data, and to convert them into one polygon. When an object or space is a closed flat plane, each normal vector of small polygons theoretically has the same angle. However, in practise, these angles are not the same. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the variation of the angle of a small polygon group that should become one polygon based on actual data. As a result of experimentation, no small polygons are converted by the point cloud data scanned with the 3D laser scanner even if the group of small polygons is a closed flat plane lying in the same plane. When the standard deviation of the extracted number of polygons is assumed to be less than 100, the variation of the angle of the normal vector is roughly 7 degrees.
This document discusses atmospheric turbulence degraded image restoration using back propagation neural network. It proposes using a feed-forward neural network with 20 hidden layers and one output layer trained with backpropagation to restore images degraded by atmospheric turbulence and noise. The network is trained on normalized input images and tested on blurred images. Results show the proposed method achieves higher PSNR values than other techniques like kurtosis minimization and PCA, indicating better image quality restoration. Future work may incorporate median filtering and using first order image features for network weight assignment.

Abstract: Image edge detection algorithm is applied on images to remove Gaussian noise that is present in the
image during capturing or transmission using a method which combines Prewitt operator and threshold
function technique to do edge detection on the image. This method is better than a method which combines
Prewitt operator and mean filtering. In this paper, firstly use mean filtering to remove initially Gaussian noise,
then use Prewitt operator to do edge detection on the image, and finally applied a threshold function technique
with Prewitt operator.

Depth Estimation from Defocused Images: a SurveyIJAAS Team
An important step in 3D data generation is the generation of depth map. Depth map is a black and white image which has exactly the same size of the original captured 2D image that indicates the relative distance of each pixel from the observer to the objects in the real world. This paper presents a survey of Depth Perception from Defocused or blurs images as well as image from motion. The change of distance of the object from the camera has direct relation with the amount of blurring of object in the image. The amount of blurring will be calculated with a comparison in front of the camera directly and can be seen with the changes at gray level around the edges of objects.
INFORMATION SATURATION IN MULTISPECTRAL PIXEL LEVEL IMAGE FUSIONIJCI JOURNAL
The availability of imaging sensors operating in multiple spectral bands has led to the requirement of
image fusion algorithms that would combine the image from these sensors in an efficient way to give an
image that is more informative as well as perceptible to human eye. Multispectral image fusion is the
process of combining images from different spectral bands that are optically acquired. In this paper, we
used a pixel-level image fusion based on principal component analysis that combines satellite images of the
same scene from seven different spectral bands. The purpose of using principal component analysis
technique is that it is best method for Grayscale image fusion and gives better results. The main aim of
PCA technique is to reduce a large set of variables into a small set which still contains most of the
information that was present in the large set. The paper compares different parameters namely, entropy,
standard deviation, correlation coefficient etc. for different number of images fused from two to seven.
Finally, the paper shows that the information content in an image gets saturated after fusing four images.

The document proposes a new framework called structure-modulated sparse representation (SMSR) for single image super-resolution. Existing super-resolution methods increase artifacts and do not consider image structure. The proposed SMSR algorithm formulates an optimization problem using gradient priors and nonlocal sparsity to reconstruct high-resolution images. It exploits multi-scale similarity using multi-step magnification and ridge regression for initial estimation. The algorithm also incorporates gradient histogram preservation as a regularization term. Experimental results show the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art methods in recovering fine structures and details from low-resolution images.

This document proposes a remote sensing image fusion approach that combines the Brovey transform and wavelet transforms. The Brovey transform is used first to reduce spectral distortion, followed by a wavelet transform to reduce spatial distortion. The approach was tested on MODIS and SPOT data as well as ETM+ and SPOT data. Statistical analysis showed the proposed technique performed better than traditional fusion techniques like IHS, PCA, and the Brovey transform alone in terms of metrics like correlation coefficient, entropy, and structural similarity. Future work will focus on improving the technique and applying fused images to classification tasks.
Availability of Mobile Augmented Reality System for Urban Landscape SimulationTomohiro Fukuda
This slide is presented in CDVE2012 (The 9th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering).
Abstract. This research presents the availability of a landscape simulation method for a mobile AR (Augmented Reality), comparing it with photo montage and VR (Virtual Reality) which are the main existing methods. After a pilot experiment with 28 subjects in Kobe city, a questionnaire about three landscape simulation methods was implemented. In the results of the questionnaire, the mobile AR method was well evaluated for reproducibility of a landscape, operability, and cost. An evaluation rated as better than equivalent was obtained in comparison with the existing methods. The suitability of mobile augmented reality for landscape simulation was found to be high.
This paper analyzed different haze removal methods. Haze causes trouble to
many computer graphics/vision applications as it reduces the visibility of the scene. Air light and
attenuation are two basic phenomena of haze. air light enhances the whiteness in scene and on
the other hand attenuation reduces the contrast. the colour and contrast of the scene is recovered
by haze removal techniques. many applications like object detection , surveillance, consumer
electronics etc. apply haze removal techniques. this paper widely focuses on the methods of
effectively eliminating haze from digital images. it also indicates the demerits of current
techniques.
This document summarizes a paper presented at the 2nd International Conference on Current Trends in Engineering and Management. The paper proposes using discrete wavelet transform techniques for pixel-based fusion of multi-focus images. It discusses registering the images and then applying pixel-level fusion methods like average, minimum and maximum approaches. It also introduces a wavelet-based fusion method that decomposes images into different frequency bands for fusion. The goal is to produce a single fused image that has the maximum information and focus from the input images.
Image fusion is a sub field of image processing in which more than one images are fused to create an image where all the objects are in focus. The process of image fusion is performed for multi-sensor and multi-focus images of the same scene. Multi-sensor images of the same scene are captured by different sensors whereas multi-focus images are captured by the same sensor. In multi-focus images, the objects in the scene which are closer to the camera are in focus and the farther objects get blurred. Contrary to it, when the farther objects are focused then closer objects get blurred in the image. To achieve an image where all the objects are in focus, the process of images fusion is performed either in spatial domain or in transformed domain. In recent times, the applications of image processing have grown immensely. Usually due to limited depth of field of optical lenses especially with greater focal length, it becomes impossible to obtain an image where all the objects are in focus. Thus, it plays an important role to perform other tasks of image processing such as image segmentation, edge detection, stereo matching and image enhancement. Hence, a novel feature-level multi-focus image fusion technique has been proposed which fuses multi-focus images. Thus, the results of extensive experimentation performed to highlight the efficiency and utility of the proposed technique is presented. The proposed work further explores comparison between fuzzy based image fusion and neuro fuzzy fusion technique along with quality evaluation indices.

This research presents the availability of a landscape simulation method for a mobile AR (Augmented Reality), comparing it with photo montage and VR (Virtual Reality) which are the main existing methods. After a pilot experiment with 28 subjects in Kobe city, a questionnaire about three landscape simulation methods was implemented. In the results of the questionnaire, the mobile AR method was well evaluated for reproducibility of a landscape, operability, and cost. An evaluation rated as better than equivalent was obtained in comparison with the existing methods. The suitability of mobile augmented reality for landscape simulation was found to be high.
This paper analyzed different haze removal methods. Haze causes trouble to
many computer graphics/vision applications as it reduces the visibility of the scene. Air light and
attenuation are two basic phenomena of haze. air light enhances the whiteness in scene and on
the other hand attenuation reduces the contrast. the colour and contrast of the scene is recovered
by haze removal techniques. many applications like object detection , surveillance, consumer
electronics etc. apply haze removal techniques. this paper widely focuses on the methods of
effectively eliminating haze from digital images. it also indicates the demerits of current
techniques.
This document summarizes a paper presented at the 2nd International Conference on Current Trends in Engineering and Management. The paper proposes using discrete wavelet transform techniques for pixel-based fusion of multi-focus images. It discusses registering the images and then applying pixel-level fusion methods like average, minimum and maximum approaches. It also introduces a wavelet-based fusion method that decomposes images into different frequency bands for fusion. The goal is to produce a single fused image that has the maximum information and focus from the input images.
Image fusion is a sub field of image processing in which more than one images are fused to create an image where all the objects are in focus. The process of image fusion is performed for multi-sensor and multi-focus images of the same scene. Multi-sensor images of the same scene are captured by different sensors whereas multi-focus images are captured by the same sensor. In multi-focus images, the objects in the scene which are closer to the camera are in focus and the farther objects get blurred. Contrary to it, when the farther objects are focused then closer objects get blurred in the image. To achieve an image where all the objects are in focus, the process of images fusion is performed either in spatial domain or in transformed domain. In recent times, the applications of image processing have grown immensely. Usually due to limited depth of field of optical lenses especially with greater focal length, it becomes impossible to obtain an image where all the objects are in focus. Thus, it plays an important role to perform other tasks of image processing such as image segmentation, edge detection, stereo matching and image enhancement. Hence, a novel feature-level multi-focus image fusion technique has been proposed which fuses multi-focus images. Thus, the results of extensive experimentation performed to highlight the efficiency and utility of the proposed technique is presented. The proposed work further explores comparison between fuzzy based image fusion and neuro fuzzy fusion technique along with quality evaluation indices.

Design and implementation of video tracking system based on camera field of viewsipij
The basic idea of this paper is to design and implement of video tracking system based on Camera Field of
View (CFOV), Otsu’s method was used to detect targets such as vehicles and people. Whereas most
algorithms were spent a lot of time to execute the process, an algorithm was developed to achieve it in a
little time. The histogram projection was used in both directional to detect target from search region,
which is robust to various light conditions in Charge Couple Device (CCD) camera images and saves
computation time.
Our algorithm based on background subtraction, and normalize cross correlation operation from a series
of sequential sub images can estimate the motion vector. Camera field of view (CFOV) was determined and
calibrated to find the relation between real distance and image distance. The system was tested by
measuring the real position of object in the laboratory and compares it with the result of computed one. So
these results are promising to develop the system in future.
This document discusses the development of an enhanced fusion vision system (EFFV) to improve pilot situational awareness in low visibility conditions.

The system could integrate with synthetic vision and advanced navigation to further improve landing accuracy in poor weather.
Fusion for medical image based on discrete wavelet transform coefficientnooriasukmaningtyas
This document proposes a new approach for medical image fusion using discrete wavelet transform coefficients. The method applies a two-level discrete wavelet transform to the input images, then calculates the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for each sub-band. It selects the sub-band with the higher PSNR value from each image for fusion. An inverse discrete wavelet transform is applied to the fused image to transform it back to the spatial domain. The results showed that this approach preserves image details and removes noise better than methods using only maximum, minimum or average values of the wavelet coefficients.
Medical Image Fusion Using Discrete Wavelet TransformIJERA Editor
Medical image fusion is the process of registering and combining multiple images from single or multiple imaging modalities to improve the imaging quality and reduce randomness and redundancy in order to increase the clinical applicability of medical images for diagnosis and assessment of medical problems. Multimodal medical image fusion algorithms and devices have shown notable achievements in improving clinical accuracy of decisions based on medical images. The domain where image fusion is readily used nowadays is in medical diagnostics to fuse medical images such as CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and MRA. This paper aims to present a new algorithm to improve the quality of multimodality medical image fusion using Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) approach. Discrete Wavelet transform has been implemented using different fusion techniques including pixel averaging, maximum minimum and minimum maximum methods for medical image fusion. Performance of fusion is calculated on the basis of PSNR, MSE and the total processing time and the results demonstrate the effectiveness of fusion scheme based on wavelet transform.

It begins with background on depth estimation methods and a literature review of recent work. Four depth estimation architectures are then described: EfficientNet-B7, EfficientNet-B3, DenseNet121, and DenseNet161. These models use an encoder-decoder structure with skip connections. An unsupervised loss function is adopted that combines appearance matching, disparity smoothness, and left-right consistency losses. The models are trained on the KITTI dataset and evaluated using standard KITTI metrics, showing improved performance over baseline methods using less training data and lower input resolution.

The proposed approach first uses an adaptive fuzzy logic model to minimize redundant information globally. It then applies Markov random field modeling locally for fusion. Experimental results showed the proposed approach improved the universal image quality index by 30-35% compared to fusion with Markov random field modeling alone.
Goal location prediction based on deep learning using RGB-D camerajournalBEEI
In the navigation system, the desired destination position plays an essential role since the path planning algorithms takes a current location and goal location as inputs as well as the map of the surrounding environment. The generated path from path planning algorithm is used to guide a user to his final destination. This paper presents a proposed algorithm based on RGB-D camera to predict the goal coordinates in 2D occupancy grid map for visually impaired people navigation system. In recent years, deep learning methods have been used in many object detection tasks. So, the object detection method based on convolution neural network method is adopted in the proposed algorithm. The measuring distance between the current position of a sensor and the detected object depends on the depth data that is acquired from RGB-D camera. Both of the object detected coordinates and depth data has been integrated to get an accurate goal location in a 2D map. This proposed algorithm has been tested on various real-time scenarios. The experiments results indicate to the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
This document discusses hybrid image fusion techniques for combining information from multiple images. It begins by defining image fusion and its applications in remote sensing to produce more informative images. It then describes two main categories of image fusion - spatial domain fusion, which operates directly on pixel values, and frequency domain fusion using transforms like wavelets. The key points are:
1. A hybrid technique is proposed that uses both spatial and frequency domain fusion, taking the sum of each.
2. In frequency domain fusion, discrete wavelet transforms are used to decompose images into approximation and detail coefficients, which are then fused using operations like mean, max, min.
3. The hybrid technique fuses the results of both spatial and frequency domain

This document summarizes an unsupervised change detection method for satellite images using Markov random field fuzzy c-means (MRFFCM) clustering. The method first generates a difference image from multitemporal satellite images using image fusion techniques.

Experimental results on real synthetic aperture radar images show that MRFFCM clustering produces more accurate change detection results with less error than previous approaches, while also having lower time complexity. The method is evaluated on datasets from Bern, Ottawa, and the Yellow River region, demonstrating its effectiveness.

Stereo Correspondence Algorithms for Robotic Applications Under Ideal And Non...CSCJournals
The use of visual information in real time applications such as in robotic pick, navigation, obstacle avoidance etc. has been widely used in many sectors for enabling them to interact with its environment. Robotics require computationally simpler and easy to implement stereo vision algorithms that will provide reliable and accurate results under real time constraint. Stereo vision is a less expensive, passive sensing technique, for inferring the three dimensional position of objects from two or more simultaneous views of a scene and there is no interference with other sensing devices if multiple robots are present in the same environment. Stereo correspondence aims at finding matching points in the stereo image pair based on Lambertian criteria to obtain disparity. The correspondence algorithm will provide high resolution disparity maps of the scene by comparing two views of the scene under the study. By using the principle of triangulation and with the help of camera parameters, depth information can be extracted from this disparity .Since the focus is on real-time application, only the local stereo correspondence algorithms are considered. A comparative study based on error and computational costs are done between two area based algorithms. Evaluation of Sum of absolute Difference algorithm, which is less computationally expensive, suitable for ideal lightening condition and a more accurate adaptive binary support window algorithm that can handle of non-ideal lighting conditions are taken for this study. To simplify the correspondence search, rectified stereo image pairs are used as inputs.

Implementation of Area & Power Optimized VLSI Circuits Using Logic TechniquesIOSRJVSP
To achieve the reduction of power consumption, optimizations are required at various levels of the design steps such as algorithm, architecture, logic and circuit & process techniques. This paper considers the two logic level approaches for low power digital design. Optimization techniques are carried to reduce switching activity power of individual logic-gates. we can reduce the power by using either circuit level optimization or logical level optimization. In this paper, the circuit level optimization process is followed to reduce the area and power. In the first approach, Modified gate diffusion input (GDI) logic is used in the proposed parallel asynchronous self time adder (PASTA) technique. Similarly, the structure of XOR gate and half adder is reduced to achieve the low area and low power. In second approach, Multi value logic based digital circuit is designed by increasing the representation domain from the two level (N=2) switching algebra to N > 2 levels. The main advantage of this approach is to compensate the inefficiency of existing integrated circuits that are used to implement the universal set of MVL gates. From the results, the proposed GDL logic based Adder offers less number of transistors (area) and low power consumption than the existing technique. And proposed MVL technique allows designing MVL digital circuit that is set to obtain the values from the binary circuits. Also this technique offers low power and small wiring delay, when compared to binary and three value logic. The simulation process is carried out by tanner toolv14.11 to check the functionality of the PASTA & MVL circuits.

This paper presents a new topology to implement MOS current mod logic (MCML) tri-state buffers. In Mos current mode logic (MCML) current section is improves the performance and maintains low power of the circuit. MCML circuits contains true differential operation by which provides the feature of low noise level generation and static power dissipation. So the amount of current drawn from the power supply does not depends on the switching activity. Due to this MOS current mode logic (MCML) circuits have been useful for developing analog and mixed signal IC’s. The implementing of MCML D-flip flop and Frequency divider done by using MCML D-latches. The proposed MCML D-latch consumes less power as it makes use of low power tri-state buffers. Which promotes power saving due to reduction in the overall current flow in the proposed D flip flop topology is verified though Cadence GPDK-180nM CMOS technology parameters.

One of the biggest and important issues in the video watermarking is the distortion and attacks. The attacks and distortion affect the digital watermarking. Watermarking is an embedding process. With the help of watermarking, we insert the data into the digital objects. There are few methods are available for authentication of data, securing/protection of data. The watermarking technique also provides the data security, copyright protection and authentication of the data. Watermarking provides a comfortable life to authorized users. In my proposed work, we are working on distorted watermarked video. The distortion is present on the watermarked video is rational 7 th and 8 th order distortion model. In this paper, firstly we are embedding the watermark information into the original video and after that work on the distortion model which may be come into the watermarked video. We are also calculating the PSNR (Peak signal to noise ratio), SSIM (Structural similarity index measure), Correlation, BER (Bit Error Rate) and MSE (Mean Square Error) parameters for distorted watermarked video. We are showing the relationship between correlation and SSIM with BER, MSE and PSNR.
Analyzing the Impact of Sleep Transistor on SRAMIOSRJVSP
Low Power SRAMs have become a critical component of many VLSI chips. Power can be reduced by using either dynamic or static power reduction techniques. Power gating is one of the most effective static leakage reduction methods. In power gating sleep transistors are used. They disconnect the cell from power supply during sleep mode leading to 91.6% less static power dissipation but they also helps in reducing the dynamic power by reducing the power supply to the cell. In this paper the effect of sleep transistor in active mode is implemented and resulting SRAM is found to dissipate 32% less power than conventional SRAM.
Robust Fault Tolerance in Content Addressable Memory InterfaceIOSRJVSP
With the rapid improvement in data exchange, large memory devices have come out in recent past. The operational controlling for such large memory has became a tedious task due to faster, distributed nature of memory units. In the process of memory accessing it is observed that data written or fetched are often encounter with fault location and faulty data are written or fetched from the addressed locations. In real time applications, this error cannot be tolerated as it leads to variation in the operational condition dependent on the memory data. Hence, It is required to have an optimal controlling fault tolerance in content addressable memory. In this paper, we present an approach of fault tolerance approach by controlling the fault addressing overhead, by introducing a new addressing approach using redundant control modeling of fault address unit. The presented approach achieves the objective of fault controlling over multiple fault location in different dimensions with redundant coding.

Object tracking is one of the most important components in numerous applications of computer vision. Color can provide an efficient visual feature for tracking non-rigid objects in real-time. The color is chosen as tracking feature to make the process scale and rotation invariant. The color of an object can vary over time due to variations in the illumination conditions, the visual angle and the camera parameters. This paper presents the integration of color distributions into particle filtering. The color feature is extracted using our novel 4D color histogram of the image, which is determined using JND color similarity threshold and connectivity of the neighboring pixels. Particle filter tracks several hypotheses simultaneously and weighs them according to their similarity to the target model. The popular Bhattacharyya coefficient is used as similarity measure between two color distributions. The tracking results are compared on the basis of precision over the data set of video sequences from the website http://visualtracking.net of CVPR13 bench marking paper. The proposed tracker yields better precision values as compared to previous reported results

With ever increasing IC complexity and aggressive technology scaling towards cutting edge technologies, the SOC timing closure is becoming a tedious, time consuming and challenging task. Also in advanced technology nodes one has to consider the effect of PVT variation, temperature inversion, noise effect on delay, which is adding more scenarios for STA to cover. In this work, we have proposed an algorithm for simultaneous usage of data path ECO and clock path ECO for efficient timing closure in SOC. The algorithm here tries to fix multiple failing end points through simple clock path optimization, instead of performing data path optimization across multiple paths, thus reducing area and power overhead. The proposed algorithm is tested on multiple industrial designs and found to achieve 30.98% improvement interms of Worst Negative Slack, 63.63% interms of Total Negative Slack, 58.19% interms of Failing End Points. Also the algorithm is physically aware meaning that the placement blockages, congestions are considered while inserting buffers. The algorithm works under Distributed Multi Scenarios Analysis (DMSA) environment and considers the effect of ECO across multiple corners and modes

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a communication pathway between brain and an external device. It translates human thought into commands to control the external devices.Electroencephalography (EEG) is cost effective and easier way to implement the BCI. This paper presents a novel method for classifying EEG during motor imagery by the combination of common spatial pattern (CSP) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA). In the proposed method, the EEG signal is bandpass-filtered into multiple frequency bands. The CSP features are then extracted from each of these bands. The LDA classifier is subsequently used to classify the CSP features. In this paper, experimental results are presented on a publicly available BCI competition dataset and the performance is compared with existing approaches. The experimental result shows that the proposed method yields comparatively superior cross validation accuracies compared to prevailing methods.

Retinal Macular Edema Detection Using Optical Coherence Tomography ImagesIOSRJVSP
Macular Edema affects around 20 million people of the world each year. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a non-invasive eye-imaging modality, is capable of detecting Macular Edema both in its early and advanced stages. In this paper, an algorithm which detects Macular Edema from OCT images has been presented. Initially the images are filtered to de-noise them. Then, the retinal layers - Inner Limiting Membrane (ILM) and Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE) are segmented using Graph Theory method. Region splitting is performed on the OCT scan and the thickness between the two layers in the different regions are determined. Area enclosed between the two layers is also estimated. Support Vector Machine, a binary classifier is used to draw a classification between normal and abnormal OCT scans. Region-wise thickness, a few Haralick’s features, area between ILM and RPE and a few wavelet features are used to train the classifier. The classifier yielded an accuracy of 95% and a sensitivity of 100%. Thus, this algorithm can be used by ophthalmologists in early detection of Macular Edema.
Speech Enhancement Using Spectral Flatness Measure Based Spectral SubtractionIOSRJVSP
This paper is aimed to reduce background noise introduced in speech signal during capture, storage, transmission and processing using Spectral Subtraction algorithm. To consider the fact that colored noise corrupts the speech signal non-uniformly over different frequency bands, Multi-Band Spectral Subtraction (MBSS) approach is exploited wherein amount of noise subtracted from noisy speech signal is decided by a weighting factor. Choice of optimal values of weights decides the performance of the speech enhancement system. In this paper weights are decided based on SFM (Spectral Flatness Measure) than conventional SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) based rule. Since SFM is able to provide true distinction between speech signal and noise signal. Spectrogram, Mean Opinion Score show that speech enhanced from proposed SFM based MBSS possess better perceptual quality and improved intelligibility than existing SNR based MBSS

Activation functions are used to transform the mixed inputs into their corresponding output counterparts. Commonly, activation functions are used as transfer functions in engineering and research. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are the preferred choice for most studies and comparisons of activation functions. The Sigmoid Activation Function is the most common and its popularity arise from the fact that it is easy to derive, its boundedness within the unit interval, and it has mathematical properties that work well with the approximation theory. On the other hand, not so common is the Fibonacci Activation Function with similar and perhaps better features than the Sigmoid. Algorithms have a broad range of applications making it plausible to suspect that different problems call for unique activation functions. The aim of this paper is to have a detailed of the role of the activation functions and then analyse the performance of two of them – the Sigmoid and the Fibonacci – in a non-ANN setup using the most basic artificially generated signals. Results show that the Fibonacci activation function performs better with the set of signals applied in the natural gradient algorithm.
A review on techniques and modelling methodologies used for checking electrom...nooriasukmaningtyas
The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.
DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Abstract: Image fusion is the process of combining two or more images with specific objects with more
precision. It is very common that when one object is focused remaining objects will be less highlighted. To get
an image highlighted in all areas, a different means is necessary. This is done by the Image Fusion. In remote
sensing, the increasing availability of Space borne images and synthetic aperture radar images gives a
motivation to different kinds of image fusion algorithms. In the literature a number of time domain image fusion
techniques are available. Few transform domain fusion techniques are proposed. In transform domain fusion
techniques, the source images will be decomposed, then integrated into a single data and will be reconstructed
back into time domain. In this paper, singular value decomposition as a tool to have transform domain data will
be utilized for image fusion. In the literature, the quality assessment of fusion techniques is mainly by subjective
tests. In this paper, objective quality assessment metrics are calculated for existing and proposed techniques. It
has been found that the new image fusion technique outperformed the existing ones.
Keywords: Image fusion, Laplacian Pyramid, SVD, Wavelet.
I. Introduction
Extracting more information from multi-source images is a gorgeous thing in remotely sensed image
processing, which is called data fusion. There are many image fusion methods such as WS, PCA, WT, GLP etc.
Among these methods WT and GLP methods can preserve more image spectral characteristics than the others.
So here we adopt – wavelet method [1][2][3].
Fig. 1 Image Fusion
With the recent rapid developments in the field of sensor technologies multi-sensor systems have
become a certainty in a growing number of fields such as remote sensing, medical imaging, machine vision and
the military applications for which they were first developed [2]. Image fusion provides an effective way of
reducing this increasing volume of information while at the same time mining all the useful information from
the source images.Multi-sensor data often presents complementary information about the region charted, so
image fusion delivers an effective method to enable comparison and analysis of such data. The role of image
fusion apart from recognition is in applications such as remote sensing and medical imaging [4][5][6]. For
example, visible-band and infrared images may be fused to aid pilots landing aircraft in poor visibility. Multi-
sensor images often have different geometric representations, which have to be transformed to a common
representation for fusion. Multi-sensor registration is also affected by the differences in the sensor images.
However, image fusion does not necessarily imply multi-sensor sources, there are interesting applications for
both single-sensor and multi-sensor image fusion system [7][8].
a. Single Sensor Image Fusion System
An illustration of a single sensor image fusion system is shown in Figure .The sensor shown could be a
visible-band sensor such as a digital camera. This sensor captures the real world as a sequence of images [9].
The sequence is then fused in one single image and used either by a human operator or by a computer to do
some task. For example in object detection, a human operator searches the scene to detect objects such intruders
in a security area [10][11][12].

Fig. 2 Single-Sensor Image Fusion System
This kind of systems has some limitations due to the capability of the imaging sensor that is being used.
The conditions under which the system can operate, the dynamic range, resolution, etc. are all limited by the
capability of the sensor. For example, a visible-band sensor such as the digital camera is appropriate for a
brightly illuminated environment such as daylight scenes but is not suitable for poorly illuminated situations
found during night, or under adverse conditions such as in fog or rain [13].
b. Multi-Sensor Image Fusion System
Multi-sensor image fusion systems overcomes the limitations of a single sensor vision system by
combining the images from these sensors to form a composite image Multiple images of same scene will be
taken by two or more capturing devices and then be fused. It is sufficient to each capturing device to capture one
image with better focus on one possible object. All the objects in the scene will be focused well, because of
more capturing devices. The multi-sensor image fusion system is more efficient comparing to the single sensor
image fusion system [14]. The multi sensor image fusion system is more accurate. The multi sensor image
fusion system is shown in below figure. The multi sensor image fusion system is more robust and gives accurate
results. Finally by comparing both single sensor image fusion system and multi sensor image system, the multi
sensor image fusion system has more advantages.
c. Performance Evaluation
The performance of image fusion algorithms can be evaluated when the reference image is available.
Here two performance metrics are considered. They are Peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) and Root mean
square error(RMSR)

It is computed as the root mean square error (RMSE) of the corresponding pixels in the reference

increase when the dissimilarity increases [15].

II. Laplacian Pyramid based Image Fusion
This work focuses on both these requirements and proposes a method that integrates the Laplacian
pyramid algorithm, wavelets and spatial frequency. Although the fusion can be performed with more than two
input images, this study considers only two input images. The algorithm decomposes the input image using 2D-
DWT. The lower approximations are subjected to Laplacian pyramid algorithm. The SF algorithm combined
with wavelet fusion algorithm is used for higher approximations. The new sets of detailed and approximate
coefficients from each image are then added to get the new fused coefficients.
The final step performs Inverse DWT with the new coefficients to construct the fused image. The two
main components of the proposed algorithm are the Laplacian Pyramid algorithm and the wavelet algorithm and
are explained in the following sub-sections. The Laplacian Pyramid [6] implements a ―pattern selective
approach to image fusion, so that the composite image is constructed not a pixel at a time, but a feature at a
time. The basic idea is to perform a pyramid decomposition on each source image, then integrate all these
decompositions to form a composite representation, and finally reconstruct the fused image by performing an
inverse pyramid transform [16].
The first step is to construct a pyramid for each source image. The fusion is then implemented for each
level of the pyramid using a feature selection decision mechanism. The feature selection method selects the most
salient pattern from the source and copies it to the composite pyramid, while discarding the least significant
salient pattern. In order to eliminate isolated points after fusion, a consistency filter is applied.

subtracted from reference image) with 8 level pyramid are shown in Fig 5 (top right). The fused image is almost
similar to reference image and the error image is almost zero. It shows that the fused image contains all
information coming from the complementary source images.

algorithms are shown in Table.
b. Observations
In this wavelet technique we observe both techniques are same but design metrics different. Laplacian
gives low PSNR value 37.3154 and high RMSE value 12.1623 compare to wavelet transform. Wavelet

IV. Multiresolution SVD
Multi-resolution singular value decomposition is very similar to wavelets transform, where signal is
filtered separately by low pass and high pass finite impulse response (FIR) filters and the output of each filter is
decimated by a factor of two to achieve first level of decomposition. The decimated low pass filtered output is
filtered separately by low pass and high pass filter followed by decimation by a factor of two provides second
level of decomposition.

since the steps are reversible. 1D multi-resolution singular value decomposition (MSVD) can be easily extended
to 2D MSVD and even for higher dimensions. The first level decomposition of the image proceeds as follows.
Divide the M × N image X into non-overlapping 2× 2 blocks and arrange each block into a 4×1 vector by
stacking columns to form the data matrix X1.
The blocks may be taken in transpose raster scan manner or in other words proceeding downwards first
and then to right. The Eigen-decomposition of the 4× 4 scatter matrix is: T 2 T 1 1 1 1 1 1 T =X X =U S U (12)
where the singular values are arranged in decreasing order as s1(1) ≥ s2 (2) ≥ s3 (3) ≥ s4 (4) Let T 1 1 1 Xˆ =U
X . The first row of 1 Xˆ corresponds to the largest eigenvalue and considered as approximation component. The
remaining rows contain the detail component that may correspond to edges or texture in an image. The elements
in each row may be rearranged to form M / 2×N / 2 matrix.
Before proceeding to next level of decomposition, let Φ1 denote M / 2×N / 2matrix formed by
rearranging the row 1 ˆX(1,:) into matrix by first filling in the columns and then rows. Similarly, each of the
three rows 1 Xˆ (2,:) , 1 Xˆ ( 3,:) and 1 Xˆ (4,:)may be arranged into M / 2×N / 2matrices that are denoted as 1 ΨV
, 1 ΨH and 1 ΨD respectively. The next level of decomposition proceeds as above where X is replaced by Φ1.
The complete L level decompositions may be represented as: L

National Aerospace Laboratories (NAL) indigenous aircraft (SARAS), considered as a reference image
Ir to evaluate the performance of the proposed fusion algorithm. The complementary pair input images I1 and I2
are taken to evaluate the fusion algorithm and these images are shown in Fig.7 (top left) and 7 (top right). Fig.

Fig. 7 Simulation Results with MSVD
It is observed that the fused images of both MSVD and wavelet are almost similar for these images.
The reason could be because of taking the complementary pairs. One can see that the fused image preserves all
useful information from the source images. The performance metrics for evaluating the image fusion algorithms
are shown in Table I.

c. Observations
A novel image fusion algorithm by MSVD has been presented and evaluated. The performance of this
algorithm is compared with well-known image fusion technique by Wavelets. Image fusion by MSVD performs
almost similar to wavelets. It is computationally very simple and it could be well suited for real time
applications. By observing the above table we show that MSVD gives better performance than wavelets.
V. Conclusions
A novel image fusion technique using DCT based Laplacian pyramid has been presented and its
performance evaluated. It is concluded that fusion with higher level of pyramid provides better fusion quality.
The execution time is proportional to the number of pyramid levels used in the fusion process. This technique
can be used for fusion of out of focus images as well as multi-model image fusion. It is very simple, easy to
implement and could be used for real time applications. Pixel-level image fusion using wavelet transform and
principal component analysis are implemented in MATLAB. Different image fusion performance metrics with
and without reference image have been evaluated. The simple averaging fusion algorithm shows degraded
performance. Image fusion using wavelets with higher level of decomposition shows better performance. A
novel image fusion algorithm by MSVD has been presented and evaluated. The performance of this algorithm is
compared with well-known image fusion techniques. It is concluded that image fusion by MSVD perform
almost similar to wavelets. It is computationally very simple and it could be well suited for real time
applications. Moreover, MSVD does not have a fixed set of basis vectors like FFT, DCT and wavelet etc. and its
basis vectors depend on the data set.
