Scatter plots of the grayscale values of neighboring pixels are shown for pristine (a), JPEG compressed (b), and AWGN corrupted (c) images. The values have been scaled so that the mean is zero and variance one. Figure Legend: From: Performance optimization for pedestrian detection on degraded video using natural scene statistics J.

4. Date of download: 6/3/2016 Copyright © 2016 SPIE. All rights reserved. Sample images from our test dataset. A reference image 4 is shown in (a). “Blocking artifacts” caused by JPEG compression are evident on the side of the blue van in (b). AWGN, which can be introduced during image capture, also degrades the quality of the reference image, as illustrated in (c).
