  • Patent number: 12026851
    Abstract: A single image deraining method is proposed. A wavelet transforming step processes an initial rain image to generate an i-th stage low-frequency rain image and a plurality of i-th stage high-frequency rain images. An image deraining step inputs the i-th stage low-frequency rain image to a low-frequency deraining model to output an i-th stage low-frequency derain image. A first inverse wavelet transforming step recombines the n-th stage low-frequency derain image with the n-th stage high-frequency derain images to form an n-th stage derain image. A weighted blending step blends a (n?1)-th stage low-frequency derain image with the n-th stage derain image to generate a (n?1)-th stage blended derain image. A second inverse wavelet transforming step recombines the (n?1)-th stage high-frequency derain images with the (n?1)-th stage blended derain image to form a (n?1)-th stage derain image, and sets n to n?1 and repeats the last two steps.

  • Patent number: 11880981
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to estimating age of a leaf using morphological features extracted from segmented leaves. Traditionally, leaf age estimation requires a single leaf to be plucked from the plant and its image to be captured in a controlled environment. The method and system of the present disclosure obviates these needs and enables obtaining one or more full leaves from images captured in an uncontrolled environment. The method comprises segmenting the image to identify veins of the leaves that further enable obtaining the full leaves. The obtained leaves further enable identifying an associated plant species. The method also discloses some morphological features which are fed to a pre-trained multivariable linear regression model to estimate age of every leaf. The estimated leaf age finds application in estimation of multiple plant characteristics like photosynthetic rate, transpiration, nitrogen content and health of the plants.
