Abstract

See full text

A structure-guided automatic learning system for image feature enhancement uses a learning image together with an application domain structure and detection target specification to produce a feature enhancement image processing recipe. An enhancement goodness measure is used to select between alternatives in the learning process. The feature enhancement recipe is used in an application module to process input images and produce a feature enhanced image output. Calipers are used for application domain structure and detection target specification. To unify the processing steps for all caliper specifications, a non-directional box caliper defined region such as a circle caliper or an arc caliper or other connected structures can be converted into a directional box caliper defined region so that a directional box caliper based feature enhancement method can be applied. The process can be inverted to convert a converted directional box caliper region back to the original format.
