Item A Framework for Quality Enhancement of Multispectral Remote Sensing Images(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Suresh, S.; Das, D.; Lal, S.Researches in satellite image enhancement have been particularly confined to two major areas-contrast enhancement and image de noising of remote sensing images. The processing of relatively dark or shadowed images necessitates the need for robust remote sensing enhancement techniques. In this paper, a robust framework for quality enhancement of multispectral remote sensing images is proposed. The quantitative results of proposed algorithm and other existing remote sensing enhancement algorithms are calculated in terms of DE, NIQMC, BIQME, PisDist and CM on different remote sensing and other image databases. Results reveal that visual enhancement of the proposed algorithm is better than other existing remote sensing enhancement algorithms. Finally, the simulation experimental results show that proposed algorithm is effective and efficient for remotes sensing as well as natural images. © 2017 IEEE.Item Image quality restoration framework for contrast enhancement of satellite remote sensing images(Elsevier B.V., 2018) Suresh, S.; Das, D.; Lal, S.; Gupta, D.Researches in satellite remote sensing images mainly revolves around enhancement of contrast and removal of noise in image, which affects the data comprehensibility and clarity. Hence, it is always a challenge to process the satellite remote sensing images in order to obtain better quality images with enhanced visibility and minimum image artifacts for improving their application value. In this paper, an effective quality enhancement framework is proposed, which mainly focuses on contrast enhancement of satellite remote sensing images. Several satellite remote sensing images were tested to ratify the effectiveness of the proposed method over other existing remote sensing enhancement methods and their quantitative results are borne out by NIQMC (No Reference Image Quality Metric for Contrast distortion), BIQME (Blind Image Quality Measure of Enhanced images), MICHELSON (Michelson Contrast), DE (Discrete Entropy), EME (Measure of enhancement) and PIXDIST (Pixel distance) along with qualitative results comparison. Results depict that the visual enhancement obtained using the proposed method is superior to other existing enhancement methods. Finally, the simulation results unveil that proposed method is effective and efficient for satellite remotes sensing images. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.Item A robust framework for quality enhancement of aerial remote sensing images(Elsevier B.V., 2018) Karuna Kumari, E.; Das, D.; Suresh, S.; Lal, S.; Narasimhadhan, A.V.This paper proposes a robust framework for quality restoration of remotely sensed aerial images. Proposed framework works in three steps: (1) Efficient color balancing and saturation adjustment, (2) Efficient color restoration, (3) Modified contrast enhancement using particle swarm optimization (PSO). In order to show the robustness, step-wise results of proposed framework is illustrated. Several aerial images from two publically available datasets are tested to support the robustness of the proposed framework over existing image quality restoration methods. The experimental results of proposed framework and other existing quality restoration methods are compared in terms of NIQMC, BIQME, MICHELSON, DE, EME and PIXDIST along with visual experimental results. Based on experimental results conducted on several aerial images suggest that the proposed framework is outperform over existing quality restoration methods. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.
