Image restoration algorithm based on compensated transmission and adaptive haze concentration coefficient by Yan YANG, Zhiwei WANG

“…Aiming at the drawbacks of traditional dark channel prior,which was prone to distortion and Halo effects in the bright areas,a haze image restoration algorithm based on compensated transmission and adaptive haze concentration coefficient was proposed.First of all,a Gaussian function was used to fit the attenuation relationship between the haze and haze-free image,and the compensation transmission was set to correct the initial transmission.Then the characteristics of haze was analyzed,the concept of brightness entropy was introduced and the bright channel operation was performed to acquire entropy value with pixel by pixel.Combined with the Gaussian pyramid to extract texture features,the haze distribution map was obtained.An adaptive transformation was established to seek the haze concentration coefficient and get the accurate transmission.Finally,the recovery results were restored by improved atmospheric light value and atmospheric scattering model.Experimental results show that the recovered image has better color and detail,the degree of dehazing is thorough,the brightness is appropriate,and the effect is clear and natural.…”

Optimized BM3D for mmWave massive MIMO channel estimation by Jiafeng QIU

“…Focused on the issue in which beamspace channel estimation is challenging for mmWave massive MIMO system when the number of RF chains is limited,a channel estimation scheme based on optimized BM3D was proposed.The MIMO channel matrix based on 3D lens-based can be regarded as a 2D natural image,and the image reconstruction technology was integrated into the channel estimation.BM3D was considered as one of the most accurate algorithms for image denoising ,while the grouping was realized by block-matching and collaborative filtering was accomplished by shrinkage in a 3D transform domain.Utilizing the sparsity feature of the channel and the clustering feature of the paths,the BM3D algorithm was optimized in order to improve the performance.Simulations are provided to show that proposed optimized BM3D scheme can achieve satisfactory accuracy in all considered SNR regions.…”

Les territoires du tramway moderne : de la ligne à la ville durable by Jacques Stambouli

“…This article attempts to address this question through the use of a theoretical model, which situates the economic transport system within three contexts: the larger economic environment, the social environment and the natural environment. A new tramway line constitutes a new supply within the economic transport system of an urban area and this supply in turn produces potential effects within that system and its three environments. …”
