Selective video enhancement in the Laguerre-Gauss domain Journal Article

abstract = {Traditional image and video enhancement techniques do not consider the subjective preferences of the user, who might be interested in modifying or highlighting specific elements of a scene. In fact, most image or video post-processing techniques are applied to the entire image or frame. In this work, a framework for selective video enhancement is presented. It is based on an adaptive multi-resolution edge enhancement technique performed in the Laguerre-Gauss complex wavelet domain. In the proposed scheme, edges are selectively enhanced or attenuated according to the inputs of the user, taking into account the characteristics of the content, the response of the human visual system, and the masking effects induced by textured background. Two scenarios have been implemented and tested: (i) an interactive video editing system, where the user selects the objects to enhance through a graphical interface and the system automatically propagates the selection through the following video frames belonging to the same shot, (ii) a perceptually-driven technique to improve the quality of RGB plus Depth videos, which uses depth maps as additional features to guide the enhancement.},

abstract = {The transport sector is experiencing a fast and revolutionary development, moving toward the deployment of autonomous vehicles. Thus, the accuracy of the position information and the integrity of the navigation system have become key factors. In this article, we address the problem of the enhancement of the integrity of the position provided by a global navigation satellite system receiver by exploiting sensor fusion. To this aim, we estimate the lateral offset and heading of the vehicle with respect to a georeferenced roadway centerline from the images supplied by an on-board camera. Moreover, we perform integrity monitoring based on the implementation of the solution separation in the parity space. The numerical results indicate that the use of sensor fusion and digital map allows us to attain a longitudinal protection level reduction with respect to the case in which sensor fusion is not exploited. More specifically, a decrease of about 70% is achieved when a single constellation is used, while reduction is less relevant, about 15%, when two constellations are employed.},

It is based on the fusion of multiple rides acquired by means of on-board GNSS receivers, IMUs and visual sensors from trains in commercial operation. More in detail, an efficient incremental procedure for processing the collected data to reduce the computational complexity and storage requirements has been proposed. We demonstrate that the proposed system is able to obtain accurate track geometry and trackside objects position information while being robust to signal degradations typical of the rail environment.},

An adaptive logic based on Gaussian Mixtures models is also introduced for the computation of the exclusion thresholds in order to assure a constant False Exclusion probability.},

abstract = {Light Field imaging systems allow capturing a larger amount of information of a scene with respect to conventional cameras. In fact, light field cameras record, in a single shot, multiple instances of the same scene taken from slightly different points of view. This enables new applications, like digital refocusing and free-viewpoint content creation. The main drawback of this hardware is in the trade-off between spatial and angular resolution, which has an impact on the depth of field of the refocused images. In this paper we propose a technique for increasing the depth of field by means of mul-tifocus fusion and, at the same time, for enhancing the quality of the content. The available views are processed in the Laguerre Gauss transform domain to perform a selective enhancement that sharpens the selected depth layer and blurs the others. The performed experiments prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.},
