디지털 영상 저장 과정에서 일어나는 문제점은 영상 저장부 센서계의 한계로 나타낼 수 있다. 센서계의 충분하지 못한 집적도는 물리적으로 피할 수 없는 현상이다. 이러한 현상을 디지털 신호처리 기술을 적용하여 극복할 수 있다. 센서계의 한계로 인한 문제는 디지털 영상의 가장 큰 문제중의 하나이며, 이러한 한계를 극복하는 고해상도 영상 복원 방법들은 많은 학자들에 의해 제안되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는, 기존의 고해상도 영상 복원 방법들과는 달리 원영상의 공간적 고주파 성분의 특성을 분석과, 주어진 저해상도 영상들의 부화소 단위 움직임 추정 오류에 대한 분석을 통해 영상 복원과정에 이러한 분석들의 결과를 반영한다. 위에서 언급한 추정 오류는 우리에게 하나의 잡음 형태로 나타날 수 있다. 이 잡음은 추정이 이루어지는 축에 따라 그 양이 다르게 나타나게 되고, 이러한 현상은 목적이 되는 영상의 공간적 고주파 성분의 분포와 밀접한 관련이 있다. 우리는 복원 과정에 기존의 영상복원 방법중의 하나인 정규화 방법을 도입한다. 위에서 분석된 현상을 이 복원 과정에 반영하여 기존의 고해상도 영상 복원 방법보다 향상된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 제안하는 알고리즘은 부화소 단위 움직임 추정 오류의 분석 결과를 반영하므로 이러한 추정 오류에 강한 알고리즘이다.

This paper proposes a fast learning-based interpolation algorithm to up-scale an input low-resolution image into a high-resolution image. In conventional learning-based super-resolution, a certain relationship between low-resolution and high-resolution images is learned from various training images and a specific high frequency synthesis information is derived. And then, an arbitrary low resolution image can be super-resolved using the high frequency synthesis information. However, such super-resolution algorithms require heavy memory space to store huge synthesis information as well as significant computation due to two-dimensional matching process. In order to mitigate this problem, this paper presents one-dimensional patch-based learning and synthesis. So, we can noticeably reduce memory cost and computational complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides higher PSNR and SSIM of about 0.7dB and 0.01 on average, respectively than conventional bicubic interpolation algorithm.

초해상화란, 저해상도의 영상으로부터 고해상도 영상을 복원하는 이미지 처리 기법이다. 최근 영상 출력 장치의 발전으로 고해상도의 영상을 출력할 장치는 많아지는 한편, 이에 맞는 고해상도 영상을 찍을 영상 기록 장치의 보급은 이에 비해 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 저해상도의 영상을 고해상도 영상으로 변환하는 초해상화 연구는 많은 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 문화재 영상에서의 초해상화는 특히 기존 문화재의 질감, 무늬 등을 보존해야하기 때문에 정교한 초해상화 과정이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 문화재 영상의 초해상화 과정에 집중해, 기존 문화재의 질감, 무늬 등을 잘 보존하면서 영상 데이터의 양이 상대적으로 적은 경우에도 활용 가능한 기계학습 기범, GLM-SI를 이용한 문화재 영상 초해상화 방법을 제안한다. GLM-SI 를 사용한 초해상화 결과, 문화재 영상에서 선행 방법인 SI 에 비하여 4 배 초해상화에서 PSNR 0.12dB, SSIM 0.017, 8 배 초해상화에서 PSNR 0.23dB, 0.033 의 성능적 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

This paper presents a new system which produces high resolution 3D contents by capturing multiview images of an object using multiple cameras, and estimating geometric and texture information of the object from the captured images. Even though a variety of multiview image-based 3D reconstruction systems have been proposed, it was difficult to generate high resolution 3D contents because multiview image-based 3D reconstruction requires a large amount of memory and computation. In order to reduce computational complexity and memory size for 3D reconstruction, the proposed system predetermines the regions in input images where an object can exist to extract object boundaries fast. And for fast computation of a visual hull, the system represents silhouettes and 3D-2D projection/back-projection relations by chain codes and 1D homographies, respectively. The geometric data of the reconstructed object is compactly represented by a 3D segment-based data format which is called DoCube, and the 3D object is finally reconstructed after 3D mesh generation and texture mapping are performed. Experimental results show that the proposed system produces 3D object contents of $800{\times}800{\times}800$ resolution with a rate of 2.2 seconds per frame.

Variations in geochemical and mineralogical properties of the ferromanganese(Fe-Mn) crust reflect environmental changes. In the present study, geochemical and mineralogical analyses, including micro X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction, were utilized to reconstruct the paleo-ocean environment of western Pacific Magellan seamount cluster. Samples of the Fe-Mn crust were collected using an epibenthic sledge from the open seamount XX (151° 51.12' 7.2" E and 16° 8.16' 9.6" N, 1557 meters below sea level) in the Western Pacific Magellan Seamount. According to the structure and phosphating status, the Fe-Mn crust of the OSM-XX can be divided into the following: phosphatizated (L4-L5), massive non-phosphatizated (L3), and porous non-phosphatizated (L1-L2) portions. All ferromanganese layers contain vernadite, and owing to the presence of carbonate fluorapatite (CFA), the phosphatizated portion (L4-L5) is rich in Ca and P. The massive non-phosphatizated section (L3) contains high Mn, Ni, and Co, whereas the porous non-phosphatizated portion (L1-L2), which comprises detrital quartz and feldspar, is rich in Fe. Variations in properties of the Fe-Mn crust from the OSM-XX reflect changes in the nearby marine environment. The formation of this crust started at approximately 51.87 Ma, and precipitation of the CFA during the global phosphatization event that occurred at approximately 36-32 Ma highlights an elevated sea level and low temperature during the associated period. The high Mn, Ni, and Co concentrations and elevated Mn/Fe ratios of samples from the massive phosphatizated portion indicate that the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) was enhanced, and reducing conditions prevailed during the crust formation. The high Fe and low Mn/Fe ratios in the porous portion indicate a weak OMZ and dominantly oxidizing conditions. These data reflect environmental changes following the end of the Mi-1 glacial period in the Miocene-Oligocene boundary. Subsequently, Mn/Fe and Co/Mn ratios increased slightly in the outermost part of Fe-Mn crust because of the enhanced bottom current and OMZ associated with the continued cooling from approximately 9 Ma. However, the reduced carbonate dissolution rate in the Pacific Ocean from approximately 6 Ma decreased the growth rate of the Fe-Mn crust.

최근의 지구관측 위성들은 많은 양의 정보를 제한된 시간안에 지상으로 전송하기 위해 영상처리 과정에서 손실 압축 방법을 많이 사용한다. 따라서 이들 영상 압축 알고리즘들은 위성 발사전 충분히 검증되어야 하며, 현재까지는 일반적으로 압축 복원된 영상의 품질 평가를 위해 RMSE, SNR 또는 PSNR 등이 많이 이용되어왔다. 그러나 이들 방법은 원 영상과 복원된 영상의 각 화소 간의 차이를 단순 비교해서 영상 품질을 평가 하는 방법이다. 따라서 이들 방법은 각 화소 간의 차이에 의한 영상 품질은 평가가 가능 하지만 한 화소와 주변 화소와의 관계 까지는 확인 할 수 없다. 그러나 인간의 인지 능력은 한 화소 와 주변 화소 사이의 상호 관계에 매우 민감하며 특히 위성 영상의 경우 주변 물체와의 상관 정보가 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기존 영상 품질 평가 방법들의 단점을 보완하기 위해 주변 화소와의 상관 관계를 포함하는 절대 모멘트를 이용한 영상 품질 평가 방법을 제안하고 제안된 방법을 고해상도의 지구관측 영상에 적용하여 성능을 검증하였다.

This study investigated the effectiveness of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and 3D modeling on mine reclamation monitoring. The high spatial resolution of 3.8 cm ortho-mosaic image and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) are constructed based on UAV air survey. The ortho-mosaic image effectively shows mine reclamation activities and recognize objects and topological changes in the image. The comparative analysis of 3D models between UAV based DEM and report based DEM reveals that total amount of $268,672m^3$ additional dumping of contaminated soil is equivalent to 710,000 ton. It concludes that a UAV based survey enables high accuracy spatial information extraction for mine reclamation activities with high efficiency. It is expected that UAV survey will be very effectively used for preliminary data acquisition and project monitoring for mine reclamation activities.

A 31m-long sediment core (SSDP-102) was taken from the inner shelf (about 40m water-depth) off the northwestern coast of the Korea Strait. Detailed lithofacies and organic-geochemical analyses were performed to establish a high-resolution stratigraphy in the Korea Strait shelf and to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental changes associated with the Holocene marine transgression. The stratigraphic framework of the core was primarily established using 6 AMS $^{14}C$ ages. The sedimentary record of the core SSDP-102 allows for the reconstruction of the paleoenvironmental changes during the last 12.1 ka BP. According to the high-resolution seismic reflection profiles, lithofacies and organic-geochemical data, the core SSDP-102 can be divided into three units (III to I in ascending order) above the acoustic basement. The three units reflect distinct changes of depositional environments resulted from the post-glacial marine transgression. Therefore, it is suggested that three phases of sea-level change have occurred within the inner shelf of the Korea Strait following the Holocene marine transgression. (1) estuarine environments from ca. 12.1 to 6.2 ka BP; (2) near-shore environments with a period of decreased rising of sea level between 6.2 and 5.1 ka BP; (3) near-shore to modem marine environments after 5.1 ka BP. In particular, the present marine conditions influenced by the warm Tsushima Current have been gradually established after ca. 5.1 ka BP.

An image interpolation is a basis technique for various image processing and is required to minimize approaches for image quality deterioration. In this paper, we propose an improved bilinear interpolation using loss information estimation. In the proposed algorithm, we estimate loss information of low resolution image using down-sampling and interpolation of acquisition low resolution. The estimated loss information is utilized interpolated image, and it decrease image quality deterioration. Our experiments obtained the average PSNR 0.97~1.79dB which is improved results better than conventional method for sensitive image quality. Also, subjective image quality with edge region is more clearness. The proposed method may be helpful for applications in various multimedia systems such as image resolution enhancement and image restoration.

In this study, the forest vegetation structure in the Maruguem (ridge line) area from Yuksipryeong to Cheonwangbong, Baekdudaegan, was analyzed using vegetation classification, importance values, species diversity, and NMS. Data were collected using 373 quadrates in a Braun-Blanquet vegetation survey conducted from May to October 2020. Vegetation was classified into nine vegetation units, which were verified using DCA analysis. Vegetation units 1-5, which were grouped by sub-alpine region, showed high importance values, mainly for sub-alpine vegetation, such as Abies koreana, Picea jezoensis, Pinus koraiensis, and Betula ermanii. In Maruguem, which is not high above sea level, importance values for species such as Pinus densiflora and Quercus serrata were high due to the topographical characteristics of the ridge. The A. koreana community (vegetation unit 1-5), which had a relatively high average elevation, had higher species diversity compared with that of other vegetation units. According to NMS analysis, for abiotic environmental factors, there was a positive correlation between vegetation units 1, 2, 4, and 5 and elevation. Overall, this study describes all low-elevation area vegetation (P. densiflora and Lindera erythrocarpa) to high-elevation area vegetation (A. koreana and P. jezoensis) as well as the characteristics of the Baekdudaegan ridge vegetation that did not include valley vegetation.
