Application of the cepstrum method for processing iridology television signals

The questions of the cepstrum method application for the processing of iridology television signals are considered. A cepstrum method for processing a delayed video signal of an aerospace television system is proposed. The application of the method greatly facilitates the determination of the delay and expands the dynamic range of the corrected signal. An expression for determining the power cepstrum at different apertures of the reading beam is received and a suboptimal model of an ideal corrector is designed.

Method and Device Based on Multiscan for Measuring the Geometric Parameters of Objects

The article deals with the issues of improving the accuracy of measurements of the geometric parameters of objects by optoelectronic systems, based on a television multiscan. A mathematical model of a multiscan with scanistor activation is developed, expressions for its integral output current and video signal are obtained, and the mechanism of their formation is investigated. An expression for the video signal is obtained that reflects the dual nature of the discrete–continuous multiscan structure: the video signal can have a discrete (pulse) or analog (continuous) form, depending on the step voltage between the photodiode cells of the multiscan. A Vernier discrete–analog method for measuring the parameters of the light zone on a multiscan is proposed, in which in order to increase the accuracy of the measurements, the location of the video pulse is determined relative to the neighboring reference pulses of a rigid geometric raster due to the slope of the discrete structure of the multiscan. It is established that the Vernier method enables one to make precision measurements of the coordinates, dimensions, and movements of the light zones by an overlay on a video raster of reference pulses from cells—a uniform sequence of Vernier pulses with a recurrence interval, followed by determining the number of the Vernier pulse that coincides with the raster pulse. An optoelectronic device based on a discrete–continuous multiscan, implemented on the basis of the proposed Vernier method of measuring the coordinates of the light zones, which has a high sensitivity to movement, is characteristic of continuous structures, and has increased stability and linearity of the coordinate characteristics typical for discrete structures, is developed.

Intelligent color image restoration system using cognitive fuzzy concept

Deinterlacing is the procedure of reworking interlaced video signal into a non-interlaced format. The interlaced video signal is generally used in both of analog TV and HDTV with 1080i. The deinterlacing method was designed to solve a legacy issue, therefore the interlaced signal which was requested by analog TV must be trans-formed to be displayed on HDTV. This paper introduces fuzzy concept-based deinterlacing method and shows how it can be executed on various test set. The proposed method includes weight calculation stage and deinterlacing implementation stage. In weight calculation stage, I compute correct weight values on each edge direction, which are calculated using fuzzy concepts. In deinterlacing implementation stage, the computed weight values are used to obtain final deinterlacing pixels by multiplying them with candidate existent pixels. The presented method provides outstanding subjective and objective results in various data set.

About wireless synchronization of a GPR receiver and transmitter when plotting a hodograph.

The processing of the hodograph data of a monopulse georadar with wireless synchronization is similar to the method of reflected waves in seismic prospecting but has particular differences. The paper describes for the first time the effect of the appearance of steps in the image of the recorded video signal when the receiving and transmitting units of the georadar are moving apart on the example of studies in the mine workings of a potassium salt deposit. Using a kinematic correction in GPR in consideration with the effect of synchronization via electromagnetic wave is especially important for deep research with a large spacing of antenna units.

Data Association Methods via Video Signal Processing in Imperfect Tracking Scenarios: A Review and Evaluation

In 5G scenarios, there are a large number of video signals that need to be processed. Multiobject tracking is one of the main directions in video signal processing. Data association is a very important link in tracking algorithms. Complexity and efficiency of association method have a direct impact on the performance of multiobject tracking. Breakthroughs have been made in data association methods based on deep learning, and the performance has been greatly improved compared with traditional methods. However, there is a lack of overviews about data association methods. Therefore, this article first analyzes characteristics and performance of three traditional data association methods and then focuses on data association methods based on deep learning, which is divided into different deep network structures: SOT methods, end-to-end methods, and Wasserstein metric methods. The performance of each tracking method is compared and analyzed. Finally, it summarizes the current common datasets and evaluation criteria for multiobject tracking and discusses challenges and development trends of data association technology and data association methods which ensure robust and real time need to be continuously improved.
