Digital Holography Using a Laser Pointer and Consumer Digital Camera Report Date: June 22Nd, 2004
Digital Holography using a Laser Pointer and Consumer Digital Camera Report date: June 22nd, 2004 by David Garber, M.E. undergraduate, Johns Hopkins University, [email protected] Available online at http://pegasus.me.jhu.edu/~lefd/shc/LPholo/lphindex.htm Acknowledgements Faculty sponsor: Prof. Joseph Katz, [email protected] Project idea and direction: Dr. Edwin Malkiel, [email protected] Digital holography reconstruction: Jian Sheng, [email protected] Abstract The point of this project was to examine the feasibility of low-cost holography. Can viable holograms be recorded using an ordinary diode laser pointer and a consumer digital camera? How much does it cost? What are the major difficulties? I set up an in-line holographic system and recorded both still images and movies using a $600 Fujifilm Finepix S602Z digital camera and a $10 laser pointer by Lazerpro. Reconstruction of the stills shows clearly that successful holograms can be created with a low-cost optical setup. The movies did not reconstruct, due to compression and very low image resolution. Garber 2 Theoretical Background What is a hologram? The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines a hologram as, “a three-dimensional image reproduced from a pattern of interference produced by a split coherent beam of radiation (as a laser).” Holograms can produce a three-dimensional image, but it is more helpful for our purposes to think of a hologram as a photograph that can be refocused at any depth. So while a photograph taken of two people standing far apart would have one in focus and one blurry, a hologram taken of the same scene could be reconstructed to bring either person into focus. -

Information capacity: a measure of potential image quality of a digital camera Frédéric Cao 1, Frédéric Guichard, Hervé Hornung DxO Labs, 3 rue Nationale, 92100 Boulogne Billancourt, FRANCE ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to define an objective measurement for evaluating the performance of a digital camera. The challenge is to mix different flaws involving geometry (as distortion or lateral chromatic aberrations), light (as luminance and color shading), or statistical phenomena (as noise). We introduce the concept of information capacity that accounts for all the main defects than can be observed in digital images, and that can be due either to the optics or to the sensor. The information capacity describes the potential of the camera to produce good images. In particular, digital processing can correct some flaws (like distortion). Our definition of information takes possible correction into account and the fact that processing can neither retrieve lost information nor create some. This paper extends some of our previous work where the information capacity was only defined for RAW sensors. The concept is extended for cameras with optical defects as distortion, lateral and longitudinal chromatic aberration or lens shading. Keywords: digital photography, image quality evaluation, optical aberration, information capacity, camera performance database 1. INTRODUCTION The evaluation of a digital camera is a key factor for customers, whether they are vendors or final customers. It relies on many different factors as the presence or not of some functionalities, ergonomic, price, or image quality. Each separate criterion is itself quite complex to evaluate, and depends on many different factors. The case of image quality is a good illustration of this topic. -

A Comparative Study of Different Noise Filtering Techniques in Digital Images
International Journal of Engineering Research and General Science Volume 3, Issue 5, September-October, 2015 ISSN 2091-2730 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF DIFFERENT NOISE FILTERING TECHNIQUES IN DIGITAL IMAGES Sanjib Das1, Jonti Saikia2, Soumita Das3 and Nural Goni4 1Deptt. of IT & Mathematics,ICFAI University Nagaland, Dimapur, 797112, India, [email protected] 2Service Engineer, Indian export & import office, Shillong- 793003, Meghalaya, India, [email protected] 3Department of IT, School of Technology, NEHU, Shillong-22, Meghalaya, India, [email protected] 4Department of IT, School of Technology, NEHU, Shillong-22, Meghalaya, India, [email protected] Abstract: Although various solutions are available for de-noising them, a detail study of the research is required in order to design a filter which will fulfil the desire aspects along with handling most of the image filtering issues. In this paper we want to present some of the most commonly used noise filtering techniques namely: Median filter, Gaussian filter, Kuan filter, Morphological filter, Homomorphic Filter, Bilateral Filter and wavelet filter. Median filter is used for reducing the amount of intensity variation from one pixel to another pixel. Gaussian filter is a smoothing filter in the 2D convolution operation that is used to remove noise and blur from image. Kuan filtering technique transforms multiplicative noise model into additive noise model. Morphological filter is defined as increasing idempotent operators and their laws of composition are proved. Homomorphic Filter normalizes the brightness across an image and increases contrast. Bilateral Filter is a non-linear edge preserving and noise reducing smoothing filter for images. Wavelet transform can be applied to image de-noising and it has been extremely successful. -
Passport Photograph Instructions by the Police
Passport photograph instructions 1 (7) Passport photograph instructions by the police These instructions describe the technical and quality requirements on passport photographs. The same instructions apply to all facial photographs used on the passports, identity cards and permits granted by the police. The instructions are based on EU legislation and international treaties. The photographer usually sends the passport photograph directly to the police electronically, and it is linked to the application with a photograph retrieval code assigned to the photograph. You can also use a paper photograph, if you submit your application at a police service point. Contents • Photograph format • Technical requirements on the photograph • Dimensions and positioning • Posture • Lighting • Expressions, glasses, head-wear and make-up • Background Photograph format • The photograph can be a black-and-white or a colour photograph. • The dimensions of photographs submitted electronically must be exactly 500 x 653 pixels. Deviations as small as one pixel are not accepted. • Electronically submitted photographs must be saved in the JPEG format (not JPEG2000). The file extension can be either .jpg or .jpeg. • The maximum size of an electronically submitted photograph is 250 kilobytes. 1. Correct 2. Correct 2 (7) Technical requirements on the photograph • The photograph must be no more than six months old. • The photograph must not be manipulated in any way that would change even the small- est details in the subject’s appearance or in a way that could raise suspicions about the photograph's authenticity. Use of digital make-up is not allowed. • The photograph must be sharp and in focus over the entire face. -
Photographic Films
PHOTOGRAPHIC FILMS A camera has been called a “magic box.” Why? Because the box captures an image that can be made permanent. Photographic films capture the image formed by light reflecting from the surface being photographed. This instruction sheet describes the nature of photographic films, especially those used in the graphic communications industries. THE STRUCTURE OF FILM Protective Coating Emulsion Base Anti-Halation Backing Photographic films are composed of several layers. These layers include the base, the emulsion, the anti-halation backing and the protective coating. THE BASE The base, the thickest of the layers, supports the other layers. Originally, the base was made of glass. However, today the base can be made from any number of materials ranging from paper to aluminum. Photographers primarily use films with either a plastic (polyester) or paper base. Plastic-based films are commonly called “films” while paper-based films are called “photographic papers.” Polyester is a particularly suitable base for film because it is dimensionally stable. Dimensionally stable materials do not appreciably change size when the temperature or moisture- level of the film change. Films are subjected to heated liquids during processing (developing) and to heat during use in graphic processes. Therefore, dimensional stability is very important for graphic communications photographers because their final images must always match the given size. Conversely, paper is not dimen- sionally stable and is only appropriate as a film base when the “photographic print” is the final product (as contrasted to an intermediate step in a multi-step process). THE EMULSION The emulsion is the true “heart” of film. -
A Simple Second Derivative Based Blur Estimation Technique Thesis
A Simple Second Derivative Based Blur Estimation Technique Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Gourab Ghosh Roy, B.E. Graduate Program in Computer Science & Engineering The Ohio State University 2013 Thesis Committee: Brian Kulis, Advisor Mikhail Belkin Copyright by Gourab Ghosh Roy 2013 Abstract Blur detection is a very important problem in image processing. Different sources can lead to blur in images, and much work has been done to have automated image quality assessment techniques consistent with human rating. In this work a no-reference second derivative based image metric for blur detection and estimation has been proposed. This method works by evaluating the magnitude of the second derivative at the edge points in an image, and calculating the proportion of edge points where the magnitude is greater than a certain threshold. Lower values of this proportion or the metric denote increased levels of blur in the image. Experiments show that this method can successfully differentiate between images with no blur and varying degrees of blur. Comparison with some other state-of-the-art quality assessment techniques on a standard dataset of Gaussian blur images shows that the proposed method gives moderately high performance values in terms of correspondence with human subjective scores. Coupled with the method’s primary aspect of simplicity and subsequent ease of implementation, this makes it a probable choice for mobile applications. ii Acknowledgements This work was motivated by involvement in the personal analytics research group with Dr. -
Histopathology Learning Dataset Augmentation: a Hybrid Approach

Paris-Saclay, Fontenay-aux-Roses, France Editors: Under Review for MIDL 2021 Abstract In histopathology, staining quantification is a mandatory step to unveil and characterize disease progression and assess drug efficiency in preclinical and clinical settings. Super- vised Machine Learning (SML) algorithms allow the automation of such tasks but rely on large learning datasets, which are not easily available for pre-clinical settings. Such databases can be extended using traditional Data Augmentation methods, although gen- erated images diversity is heavily dependent on hyperparameter tuning. Generative Ad- versarial Networks (GAN) represent a potential efficient way to synthesize images with a parameter-independent range of staining distribution. Unfortunately, generalization of such approaches is jeopardized by the low quantity of publicly available datasets. To leverage this issue, we propose a hybrid approach, mixing traditional data augmentation and GAN to produce partially or completely synthetic learning datasets for segmentation application. The augmented datasets are validated by a two-fold cross-validation analysis using U-Net as a SML method and F-Score as a quantitative criterion. Keywords: Generative Adversarial Networks, Histology, Machine Learning, Whole Slide Imaging 1. Introduction Histology is widely used to detect biological objects with specific staining such as protein deposits, blood vessels or cells. -
Anisotropic Diffusion in Image Processing
Anisotropic diffusion in image processing Tomi Sariola Advisor: Petri Ola September 16, 2019 Abstract Sometimes digital images may suffer from considerable noisiness. Of course, we would like to obtain the original noiseless image. However, this may not be even possible. In this thesis we utilize diffusion equations, particularly anisotropic diffusion, to reduce the noise level of the image. Applying these kinds of methods is a trade-off between retaining information and the noise level. Diffusion equations may reduce the noise level, but they also may blur the edges and thus information is lost. We discuss the mathematics and theoretical results behind the diffusion equations. We start with continuous equations and build towards discrete equations as digital images are fully discrete. The main focus is on iterative method, that is, we diffuse the image step by step. As it occurs, we need certain assumptions for these equations to produce good results, one of which is a timestep restriction and the other is a correct choice of a diffusivity function. We construct an anisotropic diffusion algorithm to denoise images and compare it to other diffusion equations. We discuss the edge-enhancing property, the noise removal properties and the convergence of the anisotropic diffusion. Results on test images show that the anisotropic diffusion is capable of reducing the noise level of the image while retaining the edges of image and as mentioned, anisotropic diffusion may even sharpen the edges of the image.

A few years ago, electronic stores were full of 1- or 2-megapixel cameras. Then along came cameras with 3-megapixel chips, 10 megapixels, and even 60 megapixels. Unfortunately, these multi-megapixel cameras create enor- mous computer files. So the first thing most people do, if they plan to send a photo by e-mail or post it on the Web, is to com- pact it to a more manageable size. Usually it is impossible to discern the difference between the compressed photo and the original with the naked eye (see Figure 1, next page). Thus, a strange dynamic has evolved, in which camera engineers cram more and more data onto a chip, while software engineers de- Emmanuel Candes.
