Semi-Global Matching: Cost Volume Computation and Disparity Refinement

Cost Volume Initialization Census Transform The Census transform encodes local texture structure by comparing each neighbor pixel against the center pixel with in a window. This transform is robust to illumination variations since it only records relative intensity relationships. void computeCensusTransform(const uint8* input, uint32* census_ou ...

Deepfake Detection Challenge: Baseline Implementation with EfficientNet

Data Preparation and Understanding Dataset Structure The competition provides training and validation datasets in the first phase. The training set (train_label.txt) is used for model training, while the validation set (val_label.txt) serves for hyperparameter tuning and model selection. Each line in these files contains two components: the ima ...

Image Retrieval Using Color Histogram Features with MATLAB Implementation

Color Features Color represents one of the most fundamental visual attributes in digital images, effectively characterizing image content and distinguishing objects. Color histogram-based retrieval leverages the distribution of color values across an image to establish similarity between images. A color histogram is a multi-dimensional array wh ...
