Precise visibility measuring of billboard advertising is a key element for organizers and broadcasters to make cost effective their sport live relay. However, this activity currently is very manpower and time consuming as it is manually processed for the moment. In this paper we describe a technique for detection of commercial advertisement in sport TV. Based on some a priori knowledge of sport field and commercial advertisement, our technique makes use of fast Hough transform and text's geometry features in order to extract advertisement from sport TV images . Our experiments show that our technique achieves more than 90% accuracy rate.

In this paper, we consider the problem of image restoration with box-constraints. Image restoration problem is ill-conditioned and the regularization approach has widely been used to stabilize the solution. The restored image highly depends on the choice of the regularization parameter. The regularization parameter is generally determined by trial-and-error method when no true original image is available. Obviously, it is time consuming. The main aim in this paper is to develop an algorithm to choose the regularization parameter automatically when the box-constraints are imposed. In the proposed algorithm, the regularization parameter is adaptively determined by the previous iterative solution. Numerical simulations are used to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
