In this paper we discuss a model to estimate the power consumption and lifetime (LT) of an OLED display based on its pixel value and the brightness setting of the screen (scbr). This model is used to illustrate the effect of OLED aging on display color characteristics. Model parameters are based on power consumption measurement of a given display for a number of pixel and scbr combinations. OLED LT is often given for the most stressful display operating situation, i.e. white image at maximum scbr, but having the ability to predict the LT for other configurations can be meaningful to estimate the impact and quality of new image processing algorithms. After explaining our model we present a use case to illustrate how we use it to evaluate the impact of an image processing algorithm for brightness adaptation.

In this article, the authors present an image processing method to reduce three-dimensional (3D) crosstalk for eye-tracking-based 3D display. Specifically, they considered 3D pixel crosstalk and offset crosstalk and applied different approaches based on its characteristics. For 3D pixel crosstalk which depends on the viewer’s relative location, they proposed output pixel value weighting scheme based on viewer’s eye position, and for offset crosstalk they subtracted luminance of crosstalk components according to the measured display crosstalk level in advance. By simulations and experiments using the 3D display prototypes, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of proposed method.

Introduction The efficacy of preclinical ultrasound at providing a quantitative assessment of mouse models of vascular disease is relatively unknown. In this study, preclinical ultrasound was used in combination with a semi-automatic image processing method to track arterial distension alterations in mouse models of abdominal aortic aneurysm and atherosclerosis. Methods Longitudinal B-mode ultrasound images of the abdominal aorta were acquired using a preclinical ultrasound scanner. Arterial distension was assessed using a semi-automatic image processing algorithm to track vessel wall motion over the cardiac cycle. A standard, manual analysis method was applied for comparison. Results Mean arterial distension was significantly lower in abdominal aortic aneurysm mice between day 0 and day 7 post-onset of disease (p < 0.01) and between day 0 and day 14 (p < 0.001), while no difference was observed in sham control mice. Manual analysis detected a significant decrease (p < 0.05) between day 0 and day 14 only. Atherosclerotic mice showed alterations in arterial distension relating to genetic modification and diet. Arterial distension was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in Ldlr−/− (++/−−) mice fed high-fat western diet when compared with both wild type (++/++) mice and Ldlr−/− (++/−−) mice fed chow diet. The manual method did not detect a significant difference between these groups. Conclusions Arterial distension can be used as an early marker for the detection of arterial disease in murine models. The semi-automatic analysis method provided increased sensitivity to differences between experimental groups when compared to the manual analysis method.

This paper tackles a new problem setting: reinforcement learning with pixel-wise rewards (pixelRL) for image processing. After the introduction of the deep Q-network, deep RL has been achieving great success. However, the applications of deep RL for image processing are still limited. Therefore, we extend deep RL to pixelRL for various image processing applications. In pixelRL, each pixel has an agent, and the agent changes the pixel value by taking an action. We also propose an effective learning method for pixelRL that significantly improves the performance by considering not only the future states of the own pixel but also those of the neighbor pixels. The proposed method can be applied to some image processing tasks that require pixel-wise manipulations, where deep RL has never been applied.We apply the proposed method to three image processing tasks: image denoising, image restoration, and local color enhancement. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves comparable or better performance, compared with the state-of-the-art methods based on supervised learning.

The problem of machinability evaluation by constant force feed drilling was addressed in this paper. One of the objectives of the research presented in this paper was the decrease of the influence exerted by the presence of chips in drill channels and achieving equipment able to correspond to such a requirement. The use of value analysis method allowed identifying a solution of device able to ensure simpler conditions for materialization of test corresponding to machinability evaluation by drilling under constant force feed. One analyzed various machining schemas for achieving a drilling process. Equipment for drilling under constant force feed was designed. Essentially, a vertical feed motion up down could be achieved by the device for clamping the test piece, while the drilling tool achieves the rotation motion. The feed motion is generated under the action of some weights. One also developed a preliminary experimental research for verifying the conditions of equipment operation.

The two-dimensional mesh computer architecture has proven to be an appropriate means to apply parallel computation to problems in image processing. However, this is most often done using local-neighbourhood operations to accomplish image filtering and morphological transformations. The discovery of structures in an image such as repetitions and symmetries is another form of visual analysis, and yet relatively little has been done to apply mesh computers to this problem. In this paper, we apply the primitive operations of prefix scanning and sorting to efficiently implement a repetition finding algorithm for arrays. The computational complexity of the algorithm on a n×n mesh is O(n log k) where k is the width of the largest repeated block in the array. The algorithm was implemented on a MasPar MP-1 computer. We describe variations of the algorithm for solving several related problems including the detection of partial symmetries in an image and repetitions in images modulo pixel-value transformations.
