  • Patent number: 11967123
    Abstract: Provided is a binarization method for CT sectional image of fiber package containing artifacts, which includes: performing brightness adjustment on the source image obtained after converting of the HSV image model by using a composite tangent function; creating a planar morphological structural element having a morphology similar to that of a target object to obtain a background image without the target object; obtaining a second intermediate image by a subtraction operation of the first intermediate image and the background image; improving an image contrast of the second intermediate image again to obtain a third intermediate image; and binarizing the third intermediate image by using a local adaptive threshold binarization algorithm and removing a background noise to obtain a final binarized image. The binarization method can improve the uneven brightness of the image under complex illumination, alleviate the artifacts, and strip similar objects from the background with similar gray scales.

  • Patent number: 10027969
    Abstract: A parallel decoder for decoding compressed video picture data including inter-coded picture item data with motion vector data. A decoding module decodes picture data stored in a temporary storage. The decoding module includes an inter-prediction module that uses inter-prediction item data to decode an inter-coded picture item by referring to already decoded reference picture item data. The structure of inter-prediction item data in the temporary storage is a function of the positions of corresponding reference picture items. The decoding order of stored inter-prediction item data by the inter-prediction module is prioritized as a function of a decoding order of reference picture item data.
