  • Real-time Image Processing Using Graphics Hardware: A Performance Study.
    Abstract:Programmable graphics hardware have been provene to be a powerful resource for general computing. Previous research has shown that using a GPU for local image processing operations can be much faster than using the a CPU. The actually speedup obtained is influenced by many factors. In this paper, we quantify the performance gain that can be achieved by using the GPU for different image processing operations under different conditions. We also compare the strengths and weaknesses of two of the current leaders in mainstream GPUs - ATI's Radeon and nVidia's GeForce FX. Many interesting observations are obtained through the evaluation.

  • An Efficient Match-based Duplication Detection Algorithm
    Abstract:An efficient algorithm for detecting duplicate regions is proposed in this paper. The basic idea is to segment the input image into blocks and search for blocks with similar intensity patterns using matching techniques. To improve the efficiency, the blocks are sorted based on the concept of k-dimensional tree. The sorting process groups blocks with similar patterns and hence the number of matching operations required for finding the duplicated blocks can be significantly reduced. The matching block detection results are encoded as a color image. This makes it possible to use a set of colour-based morphological operations to remove isolated mismatches, as well as to fill in missing matches. The experiments conducted show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
