• Title: Image contrast enhancement based on the Schrödinger operator spectrum
• Authors: Juan M. Vargas, Taous-Meriem Laleg-Kirati,
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel image contrast enhancement method based on projecting images onto the squared eigenfunctions of the two-dimensional Schr"odinger operator. This projection relies on a design parameter, $gamma$, which controls pixel intensity during image reconstruction. Results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively enhances image contrast while preserving the inherent characteristics of the original image.

• Abstract: In this study, we propose a novel image contrast enhancement method based on projecting images onto the squared eigenfunctions of the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator. This projection relies on a design parameter, $\gamma$, which controls pixel intensity during image reconstruction. The method's performance is evaluated using color images. The selection of $\gamma$ values is guided by priors based on fuzzy logic and clustering, preserving the spatial adjacency information of the image. Additionally, multi-objective optimization using the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) is employed to determine the optimal values of $\gamma$ and the semi-classical parameter, $h$, from the 2D-SCSA. Results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively enhances image contrast while preserving the inherent characteristics of the original image, producing the desired enhancement with minimal artifacts.

  We present the first head-to-head comparison of recent discrete optimization techniques for the problem of prompt inversion. We find that focusing on the CLIP similarity between the inverted prompts and the ground truth image acts as a poor proxy for the similarity between ground truth image and the image generated by the inverted prompts.

  We propose Image-GS, a content-adaptive image representation. Using anisotropic 2D Gaussians as the basis, Image-GS shows high memory efficiency, supports fast random access, and offers a natural level of detail stack. General efficiency and fidelity of Image-GS are validated against several recent neural image representations and industry-standard texture compressors. We hope this research offers insights for developing new applications that require adaptive quality and resource control, such as machine perception, asset streaming, and content generation.

  High-resolution radiographic images play a pivotal role in the early diagnosis and treatment of skeletal muscle-related diseases. It is promising to enhance image quality by introducing single-image super-resolution (SISR) model into the radiology image field. The conventional image pipeline, which can learn a mixed mapping between SR and denoising from the color space and inter-pixel patterns, poses a particular challenge for radiographic images with limited pattern features.
