Abstract

Digital video magnification is a computer-based microscope, which is useful to detect subtle changes to human eyes in recorded videos. This technology can be employed in several areas such as medical, biological, mechanical and physical applications. Eulerian is the most popular approach in video magnification. However, amplifying the subtle changes in video produces amplifying the subtle noise. This paper proposes an approach to reduce amplified noise in magnified video for both type of changes amplifications, color and motion. The proposed approach processes the resulted video from Eulerian algorithm whether linear or phase based in order to noise cancellation. The approach utilizes wavelet denoising method to localize the frequencies of distributed noise over the different frequency bands. Subsequently, the energy of the coefficients under localized frequencies are attenuated by attenuating the amplitude of these coefficients. The experimental results of the proposed approach show its superiority over conventional linear and phase based Eulerian video magnification approaches in terms of quality of the resulted magnified videos. This allows to amplify the videos by larger amplification factor, so that several new applications can be added to the list of Eulerian video magnification users. Furthermore, the processing time does not significantly increase, the increment is only less than 3% of the overall processing compare to conventional Eulerian video magnification.

Abstract

This paper proposes a modification approach for phased-based EVM in order to reduce the processing time without effect the quality of the magnified video. The proposed approach applies a resizing process on the input video using Lanczos-3 algorithm. Then, it decomposes video frames using steerable pyramid to obtain multi-scale frame with its orientation. Subsequently, the resulted frames are filtered by temporal filters for specific bands and the filtered frames are multiplied by a magnification factor. Now, both the magnified regions and the unmagnified regions for each frame are added together. Finally, reconstructing the produced magnified multi-scale frames using the inverse steerable pyramid. The experimental results show that superiority of the proposed approach compares to the conventional phase-based EVM in processing time, where the processing time reduction about 60-65%. Furthermore, this approach does not affect on the video quality, which maintain it in the boundary of the conventional Phase-based EVM.

Abstract

Many important subtle changes in the environment are invisible to the naked human eyes. These subtle changes occur because of colour variations, such as blood flow in a human face that leads to face colour change, or motion variations, such as vena movement under human skin and vibration of buildings. The human eye requires optical microscopes to detect these variations. Alternatively, new technologies, such as high-speed imagery and computer processing, can be used to detect these variations. These computerised microscopes depend on computation rather than optical amplification to amplify subtle colour and motion changes in videos. The most popular technique to achieve computation-based microscope is the Eulerian video magnification (EVM). However, several challenges in EVM still need to be solved to meet the requirements of real time and video quality. This paper presents a comprehensive study of EVM methods and reviews the related literature. The strengths and drawbacks of existing works are discussed, and the important research fields and challenges in the area of EVM are concluded.

Abstract

Nowadays, smart devices have become a major part of human life, and this need has led to an increase in the demand for these devices, prompting major telecommunications companies to compete with each other to acquire the bulk of this market. This competition led to a significant increase in the number of mobile towers, to expand the coverage area. Each communication tower has transmitters and receivers to connect subscribers within the mobile network and other networks. The receivers and transmitters of each mobile tower operate on radio frequency waves. These waves can cause harm to humans if the body tissues absorb the radiation resulting from these waves. Headache, discomfort, and some other diseases are among the effects resulting from the spatial proximity to the mobile towers. In this paper, a model based on geographic information systems (GIS) software is proposed for the purpose of discovering the area of exposure to radio frequency radiation. This model can assists mitigate the opportunities of exposure to these radiations, thus reducing its danger. Real data of the levels of electromagnetic pollution resulting from mobile towers were analyzed during this study and compared with international safety standards.
