                  Intensity profiles across the dash lines of the first sample in Fig. 7. The intensity profiles
                  from the original images, the images processed by GIF, and the images processed by
                  the proposed method are shown in red-dashed, blue-dotted, and solid-green lines,
                  respectively. From left to right are the original images, images processed by GIF, and
                  images processed by the proposed method.

                     To justify the benefits of SGRIF for CDR computation, we conduct the latter
                  based on Eq. (31). Similarly, the following three scenarios are tested and compared:
