  • Patent number: 9036901
    Abstract: A method for color correction of a pair of colorful stereo microscope images is provided, which transmits the color information of the foreground areas and the background area of the reference image to the aberrated image separately for avoiding transmission error of the color information of the varied areas of the pair of the images, thus sufficiently improves the accuracy of the color correction, reduces the difference between the color of the reference image and the color of the aberrated image, and well prepares for the stereo matching of the pair of colorful stereo microscope images as well as for the three-dimensional reconstruction and three-dimensional measurement; on the other hand, during the correction, the correcting procedure is provided automatically without manual work.

  • Patent number: 9019487
    Abstract: A method for detecting a parfocality of a zoom-stereo microscope includes: acquiring four highest definitions corresponding to a plurality of images with a cooperation of four definition judging functions, acquiring a relatively clearest position according to the four highest definitions, comparing a definition in the relatively clearest position with a definition in a parfocal position to judge whether the relatively clearest position is the parfocal position, then adjusting a magnification of the zoom-stereo microscope to acquire the parfocal positions at a finite number of the discrete magnifications, and finally fitting a parfocal curve at the continuous magnifications. The method according to the present invention implements a parfocality detection of the stereo microscope automatically and effectively and increases a productivity, and has a high detecting precision. In addition, the method according to the present invention has a good robustness, so that users needn't intervene and adjust frequently.

  • Publication number: 20150093016
    Abstract: A digital watermarking based method for objectively evaluating quality of stereo image includes: at transmitting terminal, extracting characteristics of the left-view image and the right-view image of an undistorted stereo image in DCT domain and embedding digital watermarking obtained by processing quantization coding on the characteristics into the DCT domain; at a receiving terminal, detecting the digital watermarking embedded in the distorted stereo image and processing decoding and inverse quantization to extract the embedded characteristics of the left-view image and the right-view image of the stereo image, obtaining a stereo perception value and a view quality value of the distorted stereo image according to the embedded characteristics, and finally obtaining an objective quality score of the distorted stereo image utilizing a support vector regression model.

  • Patent number: 8953873
    Abstract: A method for objectively evaluating quality of a stereo image is provided. The method obtains a cyclopean image of a stereo image formed in the human visual system by simulating a process that the human visual system deals with the stereo image. The cyclopean image includes three areas: an occlusion area, a binocular fusion area and a binocular suppression area. Representing characteristics of the image according to the singular value of the image has a strong stability. According characteristics of different areas of the human visual system while dealing with the cyclopean image, the distortion degree of the cyclopean image corresponding to the testing stereo image is presented by the singular value distance between cyclopean images respectively corresponding to the testing stereo image and the reference stereo image, in such a manner that an overall visual quality of the testing stereo image is finally evaluated.

  • Patent number: 8913848
    Abstract: A microscopic image fusion method based on region growing judges the fuzzy degree of the microscopic image and determines the fuzzy seed block by evaluating the definition of every image block in the microscopic image. Then, the fuzzy region and clear region are exactly segmented by region growing and are marked. Finally, a clear and high-quality microscopic image, fused by a plurality of microscopic images, is obtained. Due to the combination of the definition evaluation of the microscopic image, and segmentation of the fuzzy region and clear region by region growing, the fusion results of the microscopic image of the present invention show great advantages at the subjective human perception and the objective evaluation. Furthermore, the present invention has simple calculation and stable result, is easy to be implemented and adapted for fusing the digital optical microscopic images which are shot by shallow depth of field.
