Research on Image Smoothing Diffusion Model With Gradient and Curvature Features

Abstract

In this paper, two image smoothing models are proposed for the visual inspection of highdensity flexible IC package substrates with strict requirements on line width and line distance which are applied to the de-noising of high-density flexible IC package substrate images. First of all, the two models proposed in this paper combines the level set curvature feature of the image with gradient threshold, using more abundant second-order differential information as the detection factor to remove the noise in the image. Second, the theoretical analysis shows that the de-noised image obtained by the two models proposed can retain more detailed texture information and edge information of the original image. What is more, the experimental analysis shows that the proposed models have the highest structural similarity and peak signal-to-noise ratio, and have a relatively high edge-preserving index and the lowest mean squared error compared with other models. In particular, the de-noised image through Model 1 has the highest structural similarity and peak signal-to-noise ratio, as well as the lowest mean squared error. The de-noised image through Model 2 has a relatively high edge retention index. The methods proposed in this paper can effectively remove the noise of the image of the high-density flexible IC package substrate and can retain the original details and edges information of the image.

An Astute Automaton Model for Objects Extraction Using Outer Totality Cellular Automata (OTCA)

“…Shuai Fang et al presented a paper for scale and gradient-based methods for image smoothing by removing high and low contrasting text pixels and retaining sharp and fine boundary pixels. This method fixes a scaling value for deciding the high quality of the image edges [30]. Ruifeng Wang et al presented a paper for the assessment of visual quality for the screen content images.…”

A novel solder joints inspection method using curvature and geometry features in high-density flexible IC substrates surface mount technology

“…Evidently, most of the pixel points locate in the top right region in the figure 7(b), which implies the solders under test appear a peak or its surface show convex shape. In addition, those of the pixel points far diverge from the axes and meanwhile the origin of coordinates (that is, their average of the principal curvature values are relatively great) means that the corresponding positions are inflection points or turning points [32]. This fact denotes that higher average of the curvature values is, the more dispersive the point set is.…”
