This paper adopts the method of visual characteristics of the double random matrix to conduct in-depth research and analysis on the design of fractal art patterns. For the practical application needs in fractal graphic design, a method is proposed to automatically extract the core base pattern based on fractal graphic content and generate a four-sided continuous pattern. The method first uses the Canny operator for edge detection to analyze the area of the main pattern. Then, it uses a grayscale cogeneration matrix to extract and analyze the graphic texture features, based on which the best splicing method is selected to splice the extracted pattern, and then, it achieves two splicing methods of flat row and staggered four-sided continuous pattern. The method has good practicality with low complexity and high versatility under the premise of ensuring the beauty of the generated four-sided continuous pattern. It can assist designers to design patterns, improve efficiency, and save design costs. In this paper, we improve the existing image segmentation methods, adopt two segmentation methods, namely quadratic tree segmentation and HV segmentation, propose a new local codebook selection strategy, and study the degree of self-adaptation of different methods to images in terms of segmentation methods and local codebook selection strategies. It makes the network unable to train efficiently on long text prediction problems. Finally, the improved algorithm of this paper is tested on the standard and living image libraries, and the experimental results show that the use of local codebooks makes the image coding speed significantly improved compared with the fixed fractal. In the face of the image to be retrieved, it is only necessary to perform the coding operation to obtain the fractal code to perform similarity matching, which can meet the requirement of real-time retrieval. Applying the improved distance formula, the search accuracy obtained on the test gallery is significantly better than that of the grayscale histogram algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Image semantic segmentation is a visual scene understanding task. The goal is to predict the category label of each pixel in the input image, so as to achieve object segmentation at the pixel level.

Landslides in nature are harmful to economic development and people's lives and cause irreparable losses to the environment. With the application of image detection technology and intelligent algorithm, a new way for landslide detection is proposed to achieve effective detection and identification of hazards. This paper takes the landslide as the data set, carries on the noise reduction, the image expansion, and the image segmentation processing to the image, and extracts the object region information. The quantitative description of the azimuth displacement and displacement change of the crack curve is completed in this paper. This method is suitable for 3D simulation model, sand and stone model, soil model, and the sliding test results of Panzhihua Flight Field, which proves that the design method is effective. Experiments show that when sliding occurs, the texture and color become chaotic, the usual mountain becomes more in the regular state, and the extraction of features is very different. The method has better recognition effect for the hillside covered with vegetation, the recognition time is short, and the recognition rate can reach 90%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to improve the effect of Chinese teaching, this paper combines machine learning to conduct Chinese teaching research, constructs an intelligent Chinese teaching system, and conducts online monitoring of the Chinese teaching process. Moreover, this paper uses the general histogram matching algorithm to transfer the color style of the source image to the original image. The image's local color information will be lost as a consequence of this procedure, according to the processing findings. This paper proposes a multi-directional cutting algorithm to partition the image, then uses the local linear embedding algorithm to realize the color style transfer method, and builds an intelligent Chinese teaching system based on machine learning to achieve a more realistic and natural color style transfer effect. The experimental research shows that the Chinese teaching method based on machine learning proposed in this paper can effectively improve the quality of Chinese teaching. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aiming at the problem of low efficiency and insufficient accuracy of threshold solution in multithreshold sculpture image segmentation, this paper proposes a threshold segmentation algorithm for sculpture images based on sparse decomposition. In this paper, sparse decomposition is introduced to optimize the model to reduce the impact of local noise on segmentation accuracy, and an energy functional based on pixel coconstraint is built to make up for the defect that pixels cannot retain local details. At the same time, the weighted sum of elite solution sets is used to determine Neighborhood centers increase communication between groups. Experiments show that compared with other algorithms, the above method has significant advantages in convergence efficiency and accuracy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an in-depth study and analysis of the colour optimal matching model in art design through the method of Bayesian decision-making and the colour optimal matching model designed and applied to practice. Although Bayesian conditional theory constructs a representation theorem for causal decision theory, eliminating the formal differences between evidence decision theory and causal decision theory and reflecting their common intrinsic form. However, it still does not resolve the conflict between causal and evidential decision theories, but only translates it into a different interpretation of state parsing, and the choice of interpretation still comes from people's different intuitive understanding of rationality. To address the problem that the colour information of the target image in the traditional recolouring method easily interferes with the recolouring process and affects the colour effect of the resulting image, a new method of recolouring based on the centralization constraint is proposed in the paper. A new method of colour transfer based on random walk image segmentation is proposed. First, an improved random walk image segmentation method is introduced to segment the reference image and the content image to obtain a more reasonable segmentation region, which can enhance the hierarchy of the resulting image. Second, the proposed colour transfer strategy performs feature matching in the corresponding region to achieve colour transfer. Finally, the structure-preserving filter is introduced to further optimize the resulting image to effectively improve the visual effect of the resulting image. Extensive experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve significantly better-quality results than the colour clustering-based colour transfer method. The experimental analysis shows that the newly designed comprehensive objective evaluation index of colour transfer in the paper can effectively solve the problem of the one-sidedness of a single evaluation index and can achieve highly consistent evaluation results with subjective evaluation.

In this paper, machine learning (ML) techniques are applied at an early stage of Image Processing (IP). The learning procedures are usually applied from at least the image segmentation level, whereas, in this paper, this is done from a lower processing level: the edge detection level (ED). The main objective is to solve the edge detection problem through ML techniques. The proposed methodology is based on a classification of edges made pixel by pixel, but the predictors employed for the ML task include information about the pixel neighborhood and structures of connected pixels called edge segments. The Sobel operator is employed as input. Making use of 50 images that belong to the Berkeley Computer Vision data set, the average performance of the validation sets when employing our Neural Networks method reached an F-measure significatively higher than with the Sobel operator. The experiment results show that our post-processing technique is a promising new approach for ED. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we propose an improved region-based active contour method based on the development of a novel signed pressure force (SPF) function. To obtain the required boundary, the method is applied to the echocardiographic images. Ultrasound image segmentation is particularly challenging due to speckle noise, low contrast, and intensity inhomogeneity. Because of these factors, segmenting echocardiographic images is a difficult task. All of these issues are addressed by the proposed model, which detects the true boundary without any noise. The proposed model is more robust, effective, and accurate when applied to images with weak edges and inhomogeneous intensity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) method is proposed to construct a 3D environment map in the creation of dynamic noise information which leads to significant errors in camera pose estimation and a substantial number of noise points. For this problem, this paper proposed a method based on YOLACT, which combined optical flow and ViBe+ semantic map construction algorithm. First, our approach uses LK optical flow method to estimate the overall motion trajectory of adjacent frames. Then the trajectory data are employed to intercept the relative position of the current frame to the previous frame. Afterward, we combine ViBe+ algorithm to accurately detect and eliminate dynamic noise. Secondly, image semantic segmentation is performed based on YOLACT model. Image feature points are extracted from MAPLAB algorithm, pose estimation of the camera is performed and movement trajectory is recorded to complete a semantic map. Finally, through ablations study with common algorithms, the experimental results show that the proposed algorithm effectively avoids interference of dynamic noise information on VSLAM. Additionally, the constructed semantic map provides higher precision, fewer noise points, and pretty robustness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, three types of domain adaptation which are defined as image-level domain adaptation, interdomain adaptation, and intradomain adaptation are efficiently combined to construct a high efficiency framework for semantic segmentation. The proposed domain adaptation platform can achieve a high reduction of time-consuming to generate exhausted supervised data in the real world using photorealistic images. The proposed framework achieved a mean Intersection-over-Union (mIoU) of 45.0%. Furthermore, by combining the proposed method with intradomain adaptation, the improvement of 1.2% mIoU is achieved compared to previous work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paved cracks are one of the major concerns for scientists and engineers in road maintenance and damage evaluation study. Digital image processing applications have been applied in road surface inspection, classification, and decomposition of paved roads. This paper has tested and proposed the process to evaluate the road cracks and their possible solution as we know that the key issues for analysis are enhancement and segmentation of image along with edge detection to attain the promising results we have gained and discussed under the heading of simulations for the experimental and numerical of crack detection. Using MATLAB, we examine the various gray-level image using better techniques based on their computational capability.

INSAR images are inevitably contaminated by noise during the process of generation, transmission, compression, and reception. Noise not only affects the quality of the INSAR image, but also affects subsequent operations such as the design of corresponding filters, INSAR image segmentation, compression, restoration, and feature recognition. The INSAR image noise model is mainly divided into additive noise and multiplicative noise. Compared with additive noise, multiplicative noise is more complicated due to INSAR image correlation and non-Gaussian. Based on least squares algorithm system of additive and multiplicative mixed noise model, this paper proposes a method of using PCA to remove multiplicative gamma distribution noise. The pure noise coefficient is obtained by subtracting the original coefficient from the diagonal wavelet coefficient of the noisy image, and the mode of the local variance is calculated as the estimation value of the noise standard deviation. Experiments show that the proposed method can obtain more accurate estimation of noise; in particular in the case of less noise and more detailed image information, its effect is more obvious.

In order to improve the accuracy and performance of traditional image threshold segmentation algorithm, this paper proposes a multithreshold segmentation method named improved Harris hawk optimization (IMHHO). Firstly, IMHHO adopts Tent map and elite opposition-based learning to initialize population and enhance the diversity. Secondly, IMHHO uses quadratic interpolation to generate new individuals and enhance the local search ability. Finally, IMHHO adopts improved Gaussian disturbance method to disturb optimal solution, which coordinates the local and global search ability. Then, the performance of IMHHO is tested based on 14 benchmark functions. In image segmentation, different algorithms are tested to compare the comprehensive performance based on Otsu and Renyi entropy. Experiments show that IMHHO performs better in the three kinds of benchmark functions; the segmentation effect is directly proportional to the number of thresholds; compared with other algorithms, IMHHO has better comprehensive performance.

Multimodal biometrics fusion plays an important role in the field of biometrics. Therefore, this paper presents a multimodal biometrics fusion algorithm using deep reinforcement learning. In order to reduce the influence of user behavior, user's personal characteristics, and environmental light on image data quality, data preprocessing is realized through data transformation and single-mode biometric image region segmentation. A two-dimensional Gobar filter was used to analyze the texture of local sub-blocks, qualitatively describe the similarity between the filter and the sub-blocks and extract the phase information and local amplitude information of multimodal biometrics features. Deep reinforcement learning was used to construct the classifier of different modal biometrics, and the weighted sum fusion of different modal biometrics was implemented by fractional information. The multimodal biometrics fusion algorithm was designed. The Casia-iris-interval-v4 and NFBS datasets were used to test the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show that the fused image quality is better, the feature extraction accuracy is between 84% and 93%, the average accuracy of feature classification is 97%, the multimodal biometric classification time is only 110 ms, the multimodal biometric fusion time is only 550 ms, the effect is good, and the practicability is strong.

We present in this paper a discrete analogue of the continuous generalized inverted exponential distribution denoted by discrete generalized inverted exponential (DGIE) distribution. Since, it is cumbersome or difficult to measure a large number of observations in reality on a continuous scale in the area of reliability analysis. Yet, there are a number of discrete distributions in the literature; however, these distributions have certain difficulties in properly fitting a large amount of data in a variety of fields. The presented DGIE β , θ has shown the efficiency in fitting data better than some existing distribution. In this study, some basic distributional properties, moments, probability function, reliability indices, characteristic function, and the order statistics of the new DGIE are discussed. Estimation of the parameters is illustrated using the moment's method as well as the maximum likelihood method. Simulations are used to show the performance of the estimated parameters. The model with two real data sets is also examined. In addition, the developed DGIE is applied as color image segmentation which aims to cluster the pixels into their groups. To evaluate the performance of DGIE, a set of six color images is used, as well as it is compared with other image segmentation methods including Gaussian mixture model, K-means, and Fuzzy subspace clustering. The DGIE provides higher performance than other competitive methods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When mobile robots run in indoor environment, a large number of similar images are easy to appear in the images collected, probably causing false-positive judgment in loop closure detection based on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). To solve this problem, a loop closure detection algorithm for visual SLAM based on image semantic segmentation is proposed in this paper. Specifically, the current frame is semantically segmented by optimized DeepLabv3+ model to obtain semantic labels in the image. The 3D semantic node coordinates corresponding to each semantic label are then extracted by combining mask centroid and image depth information. According to the distribution of semantic nodes, the DBSCAN density clustering algorithm is adopted to cluster densely distributed semantic nodes to avoid mismatching due to the close distance of semantic nodes in the subsequent matching process. Finally, the multidimensional similarity comparison of first rough and then fine is adopted to screen the candidate frames of loop closure from key frames and then confirm the real loop closure to complete accurate loop closure detection. Testing with public datasets and self-filmed datasets, experimental results show that being well adapted to illumination change, viewpoint deviation, and item movement or missing, the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the accuracy of loop closure detection in indoor environment.

Biomedical image analysis based on metaheuristic algorithms is one of the most important research areas encountered in recent years. Due to the low contrast differences between the diseased areas and the image background in high-contrast biomedical images, effective methods are required to diagnose diseases with high accuracy. To overcome the difficulties encountered in this field, metaheuristic approaches may offer effective solutions due to their advantages such as the ability of converging to the global optimum, higher convergence rate, and having few control parameters. In this work, Jellyfish Search (JS), Marine Predators (MPA), Tunicate Swarm (TSA), Mayfly Optimization (MA), Chimp Optimization (ChOA), Slime Mould Optimization (SMA), Archimedes Optimization (AOA), and Equilibrium Optimizer (EO) algorithms, which are the most recently proposed metaheuristic algorithms in the literature, have been improved as clustering based in order to achieve vessel segmentation with high precision. Also, a detailed performance comparison of these algorithms has been realized for the rate of convergences, error values reached, CPU time, standard deviation, sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, F-score, and Wilcoxon rank sum-test. In order to present the compatibility of the results obtained with the literature, the performances of these novel algorithms have also been compared to that of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO), and Differential Evolution (DE) algorithms. The simulation results represent that each algorithm produces similar convergence and error performance. Also, it can be emphasized from the statistical analyses that the stability and robustness of each metaheuristic approach are quite adequate in separating the vessel pixels and the background pixels of a retinal image. In general, this paper proves that although having fewer number of control parameters, the JS, MPA, TSA, MA, ChOA, SMA, AOA, and EO algorithms produce similar but a bit better results in terms of image segmentation when compared to PSO, GWO, and DE algorithms.

A color fundus image is a photograph obtained using a fundus camera of the inner wall of the eyeball. In the image, doctors may see changes in the retinal vessels, which can be used to diagnose various dangerous disorders such as arteriosclerosis, some macular degeneration related to age, and glaucoma. To diagnose certain disorders as early as possible, automatic segmentation of retinal arteries is used to help the doctors. Also, it is a challenge for the medical community to analyze the image with the right procedure to diagnose the disorders with high accuracy. Furthermore, this will help the doctor to make the right decision on effective treatment. Hence, the authors have implemented an enhanced architecture called U-Net to segment retinal vessels in this paper. The proposed conventional U-Net permits using all the accessible spatial setting information by adding the multiscale input layer and a thick square to the conventional U-Net in terms of improving the accuracy level of image segmentation. It achieved 95.6% accuracy with a comparatively traditional U-Net model. Moreover, the segmentation results have proved that the proposed approach outperformed in detecting most complex low-contrast blood vessels even when they are very thin. The task of segmenting vessels in retinal images is known as retinal vessel segmentation. Blood vessel density can be assessed using dense pixel values. Data augmentation and analytics play a major role in building the true value of eye blood vessels for medical diagnosis. The proposed method is very promising in the automatic segmentation of retinal arteries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
