Learning good image priors is of utmost importance for the study of vision, computer vision and image
processing applications. Learning priors and optimizing over whole images can lead to tremendous
computational challenges. In contrast, when we work with small image patches, it is possible to learn priors
and perform patch restoration very efficiently. This raises three questions - do priors that give high likelihood
to the data also lead to good performance in restoration? Can we use such patch based priors to restore a full
image? Can we learn better patch priors? In this work we answer these questions. We compare the
likelihood of several patch models and show that priors that give high likelihood to data perform better in
patch restoration. Motivated by this result, we propose a generic framework which allows for whole image
restoration using any patch based prior for which a MAP (or approximate MAP) estimate can be calculated.
We show how to derive an appropriate cost function, how to optimize it and how to use it to restore whole
images. Finally, we present a generic, surprisingly simple Gaussian Mixture prior, learned from a set of
natural images. When used with the proposed framework, this Gaussian Mixture Model outperforms all other
generic prior methods for image denoising, deblurring and inpainting.

Image Compression based on DCT and BPSO for MRI and Standard ImagesIJERA Editor
Nowadays, digital image compression has become a crucial factor of modern telecommunication systems. Image compression is the process of reducing total bits required to represent an image by reducing redundancies while preserving the image quality as much as possible. Various applications including internet, multimedia, satellite imaging, medical imaging uses image compression in order to store and transmit images in an efficient manner. Selection of compression technique is an application-specific process. In this paper, an improved compression technique based on Butterfly-Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) is proposed. BPSO is an intelligence-based iterative algorithm utilized for finding optimal solution from a set of possible values. The dominant factors of BPSO over other optimization techniques are higher convergence rate, searching ability and overall performance. The proposed technique divides the input image into 88 blocks. Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is applied to each block to obtain the coefficients. Then, the threshold values are obtained from BPSO. Based on this threshold, values of the coefficients are modified. Finally, quantization followed by the Huffman encoding is used to encode the image. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method over the existing method.
Reversible Encrypytion and Information ConcealmentIJERA Editor
Recently, a lot of attention is paid to reversible data hiding (RDH) in encrypted pictures, since it maintains the wonderful property that the initial image cover will be losslessly recovered when embedded data is extracted, whereas protects the image content that is need to be kept confidential. Other techniques used antecedently are to embed data by reversibly vacating area from the pictures, that area unit been encryted, may cause some errors on information extraction or image restoration. In this paper, we propose a unique methodology by reserving room before secret writing (i.e reserving room before encryption) with a conventional RDH algorithmic rule, and thus it becomes straightforward for hider to reversibly embed data in the encrypted image. The projected methodology is able to implement real reversibility, that is, information extraction and image recovery area unit free of any error. This methodology embedds larger payloads for constant image quality than the antecedently used techniques, like for PSNR= 40db.

High-resolution (HR) images play a vital role in all imaging applications as they offer more details. The images captured by the camera system are of degraded quality due to the imaging system and are low-resolution (LR) images. Image super-resolution (SR) is a process, where HR image is obtained from combining one or multiple LR images of same scene. In this paper, learning based single frame image super-resolution technique is proposed by using Fast Discrete Curvelet Transform (FDCT) coefficients. FDCT is an extension to Cartesian wavelets having anisotropic scaling with many directions and positions, which forms tight wedges. Such wedges allow FDCT to capture the smooth curves and fine edges at multiresolution level. The finer scale curvelet coefficients of LR image are learnt locally from a set of high-resolution training images. The super-resolved image is reconstructed by inverse Fast Discrete Curvelet Transform (IFDCT). This technique represents fine edges of reconstructed HR image by extrapolating the FDCT coefficients from the high-resolution training images. Experimentation based results show appropriate improvements in MSE and PSNR.

Effective Pixel Interpolation for Image Super ResolutionIOSR Journals
In the near future, there is an eminent demand for High Resolution images. In order to fulfil this
demand, Super Resolution (SR) is an approach used to renovate High Resolution (HR) image from one or more
Low Resolution (LR) images. The aspiration of SR is to dig up the self-sufficient information from each LR
image in that set and combine the information into a single HR image. Conventional interpolation methods can
produce sharp edges; however, they are approximators and tend to weaken fine structure. In order to overcome
the drawback, a new approach of Effective Pixel Interpolation method is incorporated. It has been numerically
verified that the resulting algorithm reinstate sharp edges and enhance fine structures satisfactorily,
outperforming conventional methods. The suggested algorithm has also proved efficient enough to be applicable
for real-time processing for resolution enhancement of image. Statistical examples are shown to verify the claim.

Abstract Brain is the part of the central nervous system located in skull. For the diagnosis of human brain bearing tumour, skull stripping plays an important pre-processing role. Skull stripping is the process separating brain and non-brain tissues of the head which is the critical processing step in the analysis of neuroimaging data. Though various algorithms have been proposed to address this problem, challenges remain. In this paper a new efficient skull stripping method for magnetic resonance images (MRI) is proposed. This method adopts a two-step approach; in the first step an improved systematic application of morphological reconstructions operations is done for the brain image and in the second step, a thresholding based technique is used to extract the brain inside the skull. This paper experimented on Axial PD and FLAIR MRI brain images. Index Terms: Skull stripping, thresholding, morphological reconstruction, Axial PD and FLAIR MRI images of brain.
A Quantitative Comparative Study of Analytical and Iterative Reconstruction T...CSCJournals
A special image restoration problem is the reconstruction of image from projections – a problem of immense importance in medical imaging, computed tomography and non-destructive testing of objects. This is a problem where a two – dimensional (or higher) object is reconstructed from several one –dimensional projections [1]. The reconstruction techniques are broadly classified into three categories, analytical, iterative, and statistical [2]. The comparative study among these is of great importance in the field of medical imaging. This paper aims at comparative study by analyzing quantitatively the quality of image reconstructed by analytical and iterative techniques. Projections (parallel beam type) for the reconstruction are calculated analytically by defining Shepp logan phantom head model with coverage angle ranging from 0 to ±180o with rotational increment of 2o to 10o. For iterative reconstruction coverage angle of ±90o, iteration up to 10 is used. The original image is grayscale image of size 128 X 128. The Image quality of the reconstructed image is measured by six quality measurement parameters. In this paper as analytical technique; simple back projection and filtered back projection are implemented, while as iterative; algebraic reconstruction technique is implemented. Experiment result reveals that quality of reconstructed image increase as coverage angle, and number of views increases. The processing time is one major deciding component for reconstruction. Keywords: Reconstruction algorithm, Simple-Back projection algorithm (SBP), Filter-Back projection algorithm (FBP), Algebraic Reconstruction Technique algorithm (ART), Image quality, coverage angle, Computed tomography (CT).

Magnetic Resonance (MR) image is a medical image technique required enormous data to be stored and
transmitted for high quality diagnostic application. Various algorithms have been proposed to improve the
performance of the compression scheme. In this paper we extended the commonly used algorithms to image
compression and compared its performance. For an image compression technique, we have linked different
wavelet techniques using traditional mother wavelets and lifting based Cohen-Daubechies-Feauveau
wavelets with the low-pass filters of the length 9 and 7 (CDF 9/7) wavelet transform with Set Partition in
Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm. A novel image quality index with highlighting shape of histogram
of the image targeted is introduced to assess image compression quality. The index will be used in place of
existing traditional Universal Image Quality Index (UIQI) “in one go”. It offers extra information about
the distortion between an original image and a compressed image in comparisons with UIQI. The proposed
index is designed based on modelling image compression as combinations of four major factors: loss of
correlation, luminance distortion, contrast distortion and shape distortion. This index is easy to calculate
and applicable in various image processing applications. One of our contributions is to demonstrate the
choice of mother wavelet is very important for achieving superior wavelet compression performances based
on proposed image quality indexes. Experimental results show that the proposed image quality index plays
a significantly role in the quality evaluation of image compression on the open sources “BrainWeb:

Existing Medical imaging techniques such as fMRI, positron emission tomography (PET), dynamic 3D ultrasound and dynamic computerized tomography yield large amounts of four-dimensional sets. 4D medical data sets are the series of volumetric images netted in time, large in size and demand a great of assets for storage and transmission. Here, in this paper, we present a method wherein 3D image is taken and Discrete Wavelet Transform(DWT) and Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform(DTCWT) techniques are applied separately on it and the image is split into sub-bands. The encoding and decoding are done using 3D-SPIHT, at different bit per pixels(bpp). The reconstructed image is synthesized using Inverse DWT technique. The quality of the compressed image has been evaluated using some factors such as Mean Square Error(MSE) and Peak-Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR).
Efficient Reversible Data Hiding Algorithms Based on Dual Predictionsipij
In this paper, a new reversible data hiding (RDH) algorithm that is based on the concept of shifting of
prediction error histograms is proposed. The algorithm extends the efficient modification of prediction
errors (MPE) algorithm by incorporating two predictors and using one prediction error value for data
embedding. The motivation behind using two predictors is driven by the fact that predictors have different
prediction accuracy which is directly related to the embedding capacity and quality of the stego image. The
key feature of the proposed algorithm lies in using two predictors without the need to communicate
additional overhead with the stego image. Basically, the identification of the predictor that is used during
embedding is done through a set of rules. The proposed algorithm is further extended to use two and three
bins in the prediction errors histogram in order to increase the embedding capacity. Performance
evaluation of the proposed algorithm and its extensions showed the advantage of using two predictors in
boosting the embedding capacity while providing competitive quality for the stego image.

Abstract— Image Restoration is the operation of taking a degenerate picture and assessing the perfect, unique picture. Intially the range is separated from caught scene and coordinated with the word reference and are stacked together. At last the pictures are reestablished utilizing SDL calculation. The PSNR qualities are observe to be higher than customary condition of all pressure procedures. The point of word reference learning is to finding an edge in which some preparation information concedes an inadequate portrayal. In this strategy the specimens are taken underneath the Nyquist rate. In any case, in specific cases a lexicon that is prepared to fit the information can essentially enhance the sparsity, which has applications in information disintegration.

Single Image Super-Resolution Using Analytical Solution for L2-L2 Algorithmijtsrd
This paper addresses a unified work for achieving single image super-resolution, which consists of improving a high resolution from blurred, decimated and noisy version. Single image super-resolution is also known as image enhancement or image scaling up. In this paper mainly four steps are used for enhancement of single image resolution: input image, low sampling the image, an analytical solution and L2 regularization. This proposes to deal with the decimation and blurring operators by their particular properties in the frequency domain, which leads to a fast super-resolution approach. And an analytical solution obtained and implemented for the L2-regularization i.e. L2-L2 optimized algorithm. This aims to reduce the computational cost of the existing methods by the proposed method. Simulation results taken on different images and different priors with an advance machine learning technique and conducted results compared with the existing method.

Comparative Study and Analysis of Image Inpainting TechniquesIOSR Journals
Abstract: Image inpainting is a technique to fill missing region or reconstruct damage area from an image.It
removes an undesirable object from an image in visually plausible way.For filling the part of image, it use
information from the neighboring area. In this dissertation work, we present a Examplar based method for
filling in the missing information in an image, which takes structure synthesis and texture sysnthesis together.
In exemplar based approach it used local information from an image to patch propagation.We have also
implement Nonlocal Mean approach for exemplar based image inpainting.In Nonlocal mean approach it find
multiple samples of best exemplar patches for patch propagation and weight their contribution according to
their similarity to the neighborhood under evaluation. We have further extended this algorithm by considering
collaborative filtering method to synthesize and propagate with multiple samples of best exemplar patches. We
have to preformed experiment on many images and found that our algorithm successfully inpaint the target
region.We have tested the accuracy of our algorithm by finding parameter like PSNR and compared PSNR
value for all three different approaches.

Inpainting refers to the art of restoring lost parts of image and reconstructing them based on the background information i.e Image inpainting is the process of reconstructing lost or deteriorated parts of images using information from surrounding areas. In fine art museums, inpainting of degraded paintings is traditionally carried out by professional artists and usually very time consuming.The purpose of inpainting is to reconstruct missing regions in a visually plausible manner so that it seems reasonable to the human eye. There have been several approaches proposed for the same.

Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

From Patch Likelihoods to Whole Image
Restoration:
Motivated by the results in Section 2, we
now wish to answer the second question of this
paper - do patch priors that give high likelihoods
perform better in whole image restoration? To
answer this question we first need to consider the
problem of how to use patch priors for whole image
Fig : Denoising
II. PERFORMANCE
The likelihood of several off-the-shelf patch
priors, learned from natural images, along with
their patch denoising performance. As can be seen,
patch priors that give higher likelihood to the data
give better patch denoising performance (PSNR in
dB). In this paper we show how to obtain similar
performance in whole image restoration.
To illustrate the advantages and difficulties of
working with patch priors, consider Figure 2.
Suppose we learn a simple patch prior from a given
image (Figure 2a). To learn this prior take all
overlapping patches from the image, remove their
DC component and build a histogram of all patches
in the image, counting the times they appear in it.
Under this prior, for example, the most likely patch
would be flat (because the majority of patches in
the original image.
Framework and Optimization:
Expected Patch Log Likelihood – EPLL:
The basic idea behind our method is to try to
maximize the Expected Patch Log Likelihood
(EPLL) while still being close to the corrupted image
in a way which is dependent on the corruption
model. Given an image x (in vectorized form) we
define the EPLL under prior p as:
log 1P i
i
EPLL x p Px
Where iP is a matrix which extracts the
i-th patch from the image (in vectorized form) out of
all overlapping patches, while log ip Px is the
likelihood of the i-th patch under the prior p.
Assuming a patch location in the image is chosen
uniformly at random, EPLL is the expected log
likelihood of a patch in the image (up to a
multiplication by 1 N ).
Now, assume we are given a corrupted
image y, and a model of image corruption of the
form
2
Ax y -We note that the corruption model
we present here is quite general, as denoising,
image inpainting and deblurring [7], among others,
are special cases of it. We will discuss this in more
detail in Section 3.1.3. The cost we propose to
minimize in order to find the reconstructed image
using the patch prior p is:
2
2
2
p Pf x y Ax y EPLL x
Equation 2 has the familiar form of a
likelihood term and a prior term, but note that
PEPLL x is not the log probability of a full image.
Since it sums over the log probabilities of all
overlapping patches, it "double counts" the log
probability. Rather, it is the expected log likelihood
of a randomly chosen patch in the image.
Optimization:
Direct optimization of the cost function in
Equation 2 may be very hard, depending on the
prior used.

Quadratic Splitting‖ which has been proposed
recently in several relevant contexts. This method
allows for efficient optimization of the cost. In ―Half

Related Methods:
Several existing methods are closely related,
but are fundamentally different from the proposed
framework. The first related method is the Fields of
Experts (FoE) framework by Roth and Black [6]. In
FoE, a Markov Random Field (MRF) whose filters
are trained by approximately maximizing the
likelihood of the training images is learned. Due to
the intractability of the partition function, learning
with this model is extremely hard and is performed
using contrastive divergence. Inference in FoE is
actually a special case of our proposed method -
while the learning is vastly different, in FoE the
inference procedure is equivalent to optimizing
Equation 2 with an independent prior (such as
ICA), whose filters were learned before hand. A
common approximation to learning MRFs is to
approximate the log probability of an image as a
sum of local marginal or conditional probabilities
as in the method of composite likelihood [13] or
directed models of images [14]. In contrast, we do
not attempt to approximate the global log
probability and argue that modeling the local patch
marginals is sufficient for image restoration. This
points to one of the advantages of our method –
learning a patch prior is much easier than learning
a MRF. As a result, we can learn a much richer
patch prior easily and incorporate it into our
framework - as we show later.
Another closely related method is KSVD [3]
- in KSVD, one learns a patch based dictionary
which attempts to maximize the sparsity of
resulting coefficients. This dictionarycan be
learned either from a set of natural image patches
(generic, or global as it is sometimes called) or the
noisy image itself (image based). Using this
dictionary, all overlapping patches of the image are
denoised independently and then averaged to
obtain a new reconstructed image. This process is
repeated for several iterations using this new
estimated image. Learning the dictionary in KSVD
is different than learning a patch prior because it
may be performed as part of the optimization
process (unless the dictionary is learned
beforehand from natural images), but the
optimization in KSVD can be seen as a special case
of our method - when the prior is a sparse prior,
our cost function and KSVD’s are the same. We
note again, however, that our framework allows for
much richer priors which can be learned
beforehand over patches - as we will see later on,
this boasts some tremendous benefits.
Patch Likelihoods and the EPLL Framework:
We have seen that the EPLL cost function
(Equation 2) depends on the likelihood of patches.
Going back to the priors from Section 2 we now ask
- do better priors (in the likelihood sense) also lead
to better whole image denoising with the proposed
EPLL framework? Figure 4 shows the average
PSNR obtained with 5 different images from the
Berkeley training set, corrupted with Gaussian
noise at 25 and denoised using each of the
priors in section 2. We compare the result obtained
using simple patch averaging (PA) and our
proposed EPLL framework.

Denoising Performance (a) Whole image
denoising with the proposed framework with
all the priors discussed in Section (b) Note how
the EPLL framework improves performance
significantly when compared to simple patch
averaging (PA)
Gaussian Mixture Prior:
We learn a finite Gaussian mixture model
over the pixels of natural image patches. Many
popular image priors can be seen as special cases
of a GMM but they typically constrain the means
and covariance matrices during learning. In
contrast, we do not constrain the model in any
way—we learn the means, full covariance matrices
and mixing weights, over all pixels. Learning is
easily performed using the Expectation
Maximization algorithm (EM). With this model,
calculating the log likelihood of a given patch is
trivial:

Where k are the mixing weights for each of
the mixture component and k and k are the
corresponding mean and covariance matrix.
Given a noisy patch y, the BLS estimate can
be calculated in closed form (as the posterior is just
another Gaussian mixture) [1]. The MAP estimate,
however, can not be calculated in closed form. To
tackle this we use the following approximate MAP
estimation procedure:
1. Given noisy patch y we calculate the conditional
mixing weights k P k y .
2. We choose the component which has the highest
conditional mixing weight max maxk kk .
3. The MAP estimate ˆx is then a Wiener filter
solution for the maxk -th component:

GMM model performance in log likelihood (Log
L), patch denoising (BLS and MAP) and image
denoising (Patch Average (PA) and EPLL, the
proposed framework) - note that the performance is
better than all priors in all measures. The patches,
noisy patches, images and noisy images are the
same as in Figure 1 and Figure 4. All values are in
PSNR (dB) apart from the log likelihood.
Comparison:
We learn the proposed GMM model from a
set of
6
2 10 patches, sampled from [10] with their
DC removed. The model is with learned 200
mixture components with zero means and full
covariance matrices. We also trained GMMs with
unconstrained means and found that all the means
were very close to zero. As mentioned above,
learning was performed using EM. Training with
the above training set takes around 30h with
unoptimized MATLAB code1. Denoising a patch
with this model is performed using the
approximate MAP procedure described Having
learned this GMM prior, we can now compare its
performance both in likelihood and denoising with
the priors we have discussed thus far in Section 1
on the same dataset of unseen patches. Table 1
shows the results obtained with the GMM prior - as
can be seen, this prior is superior in likelihood,
patch denoising and whole image denoising to all
other priors we discussed thus far.

Comparison of the performance of the ICA prior to
the high likelihood GMM prior using EPLL and
noise level 25 . 5a depicts a scatter plot of
PSNR values obtained when denoising 68 images
from[10]. Note the superior performance of the
GMM prior when compared to ICA on all images. 5b
depicts a detail shot from two of the images - note
the high visual quality of the GMM prior result. The
details are best seen when zoomed in on a
computer screen.
Comparison to State-Of-The-Art Methods:
We compare the performance of EPLL with
the proposed GMM prior with leading image
restoration methods – both generic and image
based. All the experiments were conducted on 68
images from the test set of the Berkeley
Segmentation Database [10]. All experiments were
conducted using the same noisy realization of the
images. In all experiments we set
2
N ,
where N is the number of pixels in each patch. We
used a patch size of 8 8 in all experiments. For
the GMM prior, we optimized (by hand) the values
for on the 5 images from the Berkeley training
set – these were set to
2
1 [1, 4, 8, 16, 32,
64]. Running times on a Quad Core Q6600
processor are around 300s per image with
unoptimized MATLAB code.

Summary of denoising experiments results. Our
method is clearly state-of-the-art when compared
to generic priors, and is competitive with image
based method such as BM3D and LLSC which are
state-of-the-art in image denoising.
Eigenvectors of 6 randomly selected covariance
matrices from the learned GMM model, sorted by
eigenvalue from largest to smallest. Note the
richness of the structures - some of the
eigenvectors look like PCA components, while
others model texture boundaries, edges and other
structures at different orientations.
Generic Priors:
We compare the performance of EPLL and
the GMM prior in image denoising with leading
generic methods - Fields of Experts [6] and KSVD
[3] trained on natural image patches (KSVDG). The
summary of results may be seen in Table 2a - it is
clear that our method outperforms the current
state-of-the- art generic methods.
Image Based Priors:
We now compare the performance of our
method (EPLL+GMM) to image specific methods -
which learn from the noisy image itself. We
compare to KSVD, BM3D [5] and LLSC [8] which
are currently the state-of-the-art in image
denoising. The summary of results may be seen in
Table 2b. As can be seen, our method is highly
competitive with these state-of-the-art method,
even though it is generic. Some examples of the
results may be seen in Figure 6.
Fig 6 : Denoised Images
Image Deblurring:
While image specific priors give excellent
performance in denoising, since the degradation of
different patches in the same image can be
"averaged out", this is certainly not the case for all
image restoration tasks, and for such tasks a
generic prior is needed. An example of such a task
is image deblurring. We convolved 68 images from
the Berkeley database (same as above) with the
blur kernels supplied with the code of [7]. We then
added 1% white Gaussian noise to the images, and
attempted reconstruction using the code by [7] and
our EPLL framework with GMM prior. Results are
superior both in PSNR and quality of the output, as
can be seen in Figure 8.

IV. CONCLUSION
We have presented a new system for meaningful
structure extraction from texture. Our main
contribution is twofold. First, we proposed novel
variation measures to capture the nature of
structure and texture. We have extensively
evaluated these measures and conclude that they
are indeed powerful to make these two types of
visual in-formation separable in many cases.
Second, we fashioned a new optimization scheme
to transform the original non-linear problem to a
set of sub problems that are much easier to solve
quickly. Several applications making use of these
images and drawings were proposed. Our method
does not need prior texture information. It could,
thus, mistake part of structures as texture, if they
are visually similar in scales. One example is
shown in Figure 15, where structures are not all
preserved. It is because the scale and shape of
these edges are overly close to those of the
underlying texture; significantly obscure the
difference from the statistical perspective.
