SE342-simple-image-processor

Introduction

This is a repo which contains the project of the course Computer Vision (SE342) in SJTU in year 2017-2018.

Project Requirements

This project implements a simple image processing tool with the following functionalities:

• Color Image Processing
  • RGB Bands Splitting
  • Color -> Grayscale
  • HSL Adjusting
  • Color Gradation Adjusting (Bonus)
• Binarization
  • Otsu's method
  • Manual (Two Thresholds)
• Arithmetic & Geometric Ops
  • Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Crop
  • Scaling and Rotation (Nearest, Bilinear)
• Contrast Adjustment
  • Linear, Piecewise Linear
  • Logarithmic, Exponential
  • Histogram Display
  • Histogram Equalization
• Smooth Filter
  • Average
  • Median
  • Gaussian
  • Custom Filter
• Edge Detection
  • Sobel
  • Laplacian
  • Canny
• Hough Transform (Bonus)
  • Line Detection
  • Circle Detection
• Binary Morphology
  • Dilation, Erosion
  • Opening, Closing
  • Thinning, Thickening
  • Distance Transform
  • Skeletonization, Skeleton Reconstruction
  • Morphology Reconstruction
• Grayscale Morphology
  • Dilation, Erosion
  • Opening, Closing
  • Morphology Reconstruction
  • Watershed

The program should have a convenient GUI, which can:

• Read / Save common image formats
• Display real-time cursor position and pixel value

As required by our instructor, we should implement all algorithms by ourselves instead of directly calling functions of existing CV libraries (e.g. OpenCV). However, we can use such libraries to read and write images.

Also, after finishing implementation, we should use our own tool to analyse eyeball images to detect lesion.

Environment

This project is supposed to run well on any major OS (Windows, Linux, macOS). It requires Python 3, and you should have the following modules installed:

• tkinter (for GUI)
• pillow (for image reading and writing)
• numpy and matplotlib (for histogram display)

Appendixes

• A brief document describing project features and eyeball lesion detection.
• An eyeball image provided by our instructor.

Further Improvements

Performance

Python programs (interpreted) often run (much) slower than C++ programs (compiled). And image operations in this project are not optimized at all. So the program demonstrates a poor performance when dragging some of the sliders (real-time calculation and display). Personally, I'm choosing Python for rapid development. Here are some possible methods to improve performance:

• Use PyPy to run the program (the JIT compiler)
• Use matrix representation and operations provided by numpy (optimized C implementation)
• Use C++ to develop the whole project or the algorithm modules

Alpha Support

This program does not deal with alpha channels in images. They are simply discarded when reading images. A more complete implementation should deal with alpha channels appropriately in image operations.
