Abstract

In this study we propose an image denoising algorithm which manipulates the information obtained from multiple images in the same environment for mobile smart phones. We also envisage a multiple images registration method for mobile smart phone cameras equipped with limited computing ability and present an effective image denoising algorithm combining and manipulating the information obtained from multiple images. We proved that the proposed algorithm has much better PSNR value than the method applying single image. We verified that the propose approach has good denoising quality and can be utilized in the feasible level speed on Android smart phones.

본 연구에서는 동일한 환경에서 스마트폰 카메라에서 촬영한 여러 장의 영상들로부터 얻을 수 있는 정보를 활용하여 영상 잡음을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 알고리즘을 개발한다. 이를 위해 스마트폰의 제한된 연산능력에 맞는 다중 영상 정합(registration) 알고리즘을 개발하고, 다중 영상들의 정보들을 조합하여 효과적으로 영상 잡음을 제거하는 방법을 제시한다. 제시한 알고리즘을 정량적으로 잡음 제거 성능을 측정하기 위해 PSNR 값으로 비교 시 단일 영상을 이용할 때보다 훨씬 향상된 PSNR 값 향상을 가져왔다. 실제 안드로이드 스마트폰에 해당 알고리즘을 개발하여, 실제 사용 가능한 수준의 영상 처리 속도로 만족할만한 잡음 제거 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.
