• Title: A locally statistical active contour model for SAR image segmentation can be solved by denoising algorithms
• Authors: Guangming Liu, Quanying Sun, Jing Liang, Qi Liu
• Abstract summary: Experimental results for real SAR images show that the proposed image segmentation model can efficiently stop the contours at weak or blurred edges. The proposed FPRD1/FPRD2 models are about 1/2 (or less than) of the time required for the SBRD model based on the Split Bregman technique.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel locally statistical variational active contour model based on I-divergence-TV denoising model, which hybrides geodesic active contour (GAC) model with active contours without edges (ACWE) model, and can be used to segment images corrupted by multiplicative gamma noise. By adding a diffusion term into the level set evolution (LSE) equation of the proposed model, we construct a reaction-diffusion (RD) equation, which can gradually regularize the level set function (LSF) to be piecewise constant in each segment domain and gain the stable solution. We further transform the proposed model into classic ROF model by adding a proximity term. Inspired by a fast denoising algorithm proposed by Jia-Zhao recently, we propose two fast fixed point algorithms to solve SAR image segmentation question. Experimental results for real SAR images show that the proposed image segmentation model can efficiently stop the contours at weak or blurred edges, and can automatically detect the exterior and interior boundaries of images with multiplicative gamma noise. The proposed FPRD1/FPRD2 models are about 1/2 (or less than) of the time required for the SBRD model based on the Split Bregman technique.

  High Dynamic Range (LDR) images can be recovered from several Low Dynamic Range (LDR) images by existing Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) techniques. DNNs still generate ghosting artifacts when LDR images have saturation and large motion. We formulate the HDR deghosting problem as an image generation that leverages LDR features as the diffusion model's condition.

  We introduce an SE(3) diffusion model-based point cloud registration framework for 6D object pose estimation in real-world scenarios. Our approach formulates the 3D registration task as a denoising diffusion process, which progressively refines the pose of the source point cloud. Experiments demonstrate that our diffusion registration framework presents outstanding pose estimation performance on the real-world TUD-L, LINEMOD, and Occluded-LINEMOD datasets.

  We present a differential equation that transforms a complex data distribution to a known prior distribution by injecting noise. A corresponding reverse-time SDE transforms the prior distribution back into the data distribution by slowly removing the noise. By leveraging advances in score-based generative modeling, we can accurately estimate these scores with neural networks. We demonstrate high fidelity generation of 1024 x 1024 images for the first time from a score-based generative model.

  An automated spatially adaptive regularization model is proposed for reconstruction of noisy and blurred images. It detects the edges and then spatially adjusts the parameters of Tikhonov and TV regularization terms for each pixel according to the edge information. Numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model effectively reserves the image edges and eliminates the noise and blur at the same time.
