20140267432 | METHOD TO SELECT APPROPRIATE WINDOW SIZE FOR LOCAL IMAGE PROCESSING - A method to select an appropriate window size for local image processing uses two window sizes: a very large but impractical size and a small and practical size. Two images are generated for the desired image processing under both window sizes. The difference of these two images eliminates common non-linear nature of the local image processing and only contains low-frequency artifacts generated under a smaller window size. By taking the Fourier transform of the difference image, an approximated noise spectrum of low-frequency artifacts introduced by the small and practical window size is able to be observed. Alternatively, a frequency analysis of the smaller window size is able to be conducted by calculating the difference of cross-correlation functions and noise spectra under the same two window sizes. An appropriate window size is able to be selected based on such frequency analysis. | 09-18-2014 |
