New Solution For Frequency And Pixel Domain Coding Using Convex Sets, Pete Santago, Sarah A. Rajala Dec 1985

New Solution For Frequency And Pixel Domain Coding Using Convex Sets, Pete Santago, Sarah A. Rajala

Sarah A. Rajala

This paper describes a new algorithm for combining spatial and frequency domain information about an image in order to improve coding. The algorithm utilizes successive projections onto two non-intersecting sets in order to determine the optimal frequency domain coefficients to transmit given some known spatial information. This technique is best suited to fixed block size transform coders and builds on the techniques used in previous work.

This paper presents a new technique for the detection of moving target tracks, where those tracks are linear paths or segments of circles[1,2]. The images used as input represent a time-varying sequence of noisy satellite images of terrain and a moving target(s). Preprocessing of the image sequence involves use of third order differencing to remove stationary points and produce a sequence of intermediate images containing only the target track(s) and noise from various sources[3]. The new procedure described in this paper begins by selection of a window from the preprocessed image sequence. A generalized Hough transform technique is then employed …
