Hardware Implementation of Configurable Multi Image Fusion
Abstract: Multifocus images make it difficult to describe a scene accurately. Hence, the fusion of two or more images forms a good solution in order to obtain a new image containing more appropriate description of the scene than any of the input images. This paper presents a method of image fusion which uses stationary wavelet transform and fuzzy logic. By overcoming the disadvantages of discrete wavelet transform such as downsampling and …

Zoom Based Image Super-Resolution: Using Two Level DWT as Feature Model
Abstract: AbstractIn this paper we present an algorithm of super-resolution (SR) imaging to reconstruct high-resolution (HR) image from sequence of low-resolution (LR) images of static scene captured at the different camera zoom factor. The resultant HR image is constructed at the resolution of the most zoomed LR image. In the proposed approach algorithm uses LR images of the static scene captured at three distinct zoom-factors. Learning based SR technique is used …

Cyber Security Evaluation for a Petroleum Refinery Using Attack Tree Methodology and Economic Indexes
Abstract: Information Technology (IT) is vital and valuable to our society. An important type of IT system is Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. The most common misconception regarding the security of SCADA was that this network was electronically isolated from other networks and hence attackers could not access them. Over the years SCADA systems have become incorporated with other IT systems, which has made them becoming increasingly vulnerable to …
