The Laplacian operator is usually used as a regularization operator which may be used as any differential operator in the regularization iterative processing. In this paper, several kinds of differential operator and proposed operator as a regularization operator were compared with each other performance. For noisy gaussian-blurred images, proposed operator worked better in the edge, while in flat region the conventional operator resulted better. In regularization, smoothing the noise and restoring the edges should be considered at the same time, so the regions divided into the flat, the middle, and the detailed, which were processed in separate and compared.
To restore image degraded by motion blur and additive noise, In conventional method, regularization is usually applied to all over the image without considering the local characteristics of image. As a result, ringing artifacts appear in edge regions and the noise amplification is introduced in flat regions. To solve this problem we propose an adaptive regularization iterative restoration using wavelet directional considering edges and the regularization operator with no direction for flat regions. We verified that the proposed method showed results in the suppression of the noise amplification in flat regions, and introduced less ringing artifacts in edge regions.
ABSTRACTwe present more efficient method of a medium access for real-time ubiquitous sensor networks. Proposed MAC protocol is like the randomized CSMA/CA protocol, but unlike previous legacy protocols, it does not use a time-varying contention window from which a node randomly picks a transmission slot. To reduce the latency for the delivery of event reports from sensor nodes, we carefully decide to select a fixed-size contention window with non-uniform probability distribution of transmitting in each slot. We show that the proposed method can offer up to several times latency reduction compared to legacy of IEEE 802.11 as the size of the sensor network scales up to 256 nodes using a widely-used network simulation package, NS-2. We finally show that proposed MAC scheme comes close to meet bounds on the best latency being achieved by a decentralized CSMA-based MAC protocol for real-time ubiquitous sensor networks which is sensitive to latency.
