방사선 치료계획이나 사전수술계획 등에 컴퓨터 사용이 늘어남에 따라 의료영상별 특성에 따른 복합적 처리를 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 다중 모달리티 영상으로부터 의미 있는 정보를 제공하기 위하여 상호정보 최적화를 통한 영상정합 방법을 제안한다. 본 방법은 두 영상에서 대응되는 위치의 명암도간 통계적 의존관계와 정보중복성을 계산하는 상호정보(mutual information)를 통해 영상간 변형관계를 추정함으로써 영상을 정합한다. 실험결과로는 뇌 자기공명영상(MRI)과 컴퓨터단층촬영영상(CT)의 상호정보를 최적화하여 정합 결과를 제시한다. 본 방법은 기존 정합방법에서 사용하는 영상분할이나 특징점 추출 등의 전처리 과정 없이 영상 자체 정보를 기반으로 계산함으로써 정합의 정확도를 높일 수 있다.

H.264 등 동영상 압축 표준에서는 비디오 신호의 시간적 중복 데이터를 제거하기 위해 움직임 추정/보상을 수행한다. 또한 움직임 추정/보상의 정확성을 향상하기 위해 다중 참조프레임을 지원한다. 여러 장의 참조 프레임 중 현재 블록과 가장 유사한 참조 프레임 영역으로부터 움직임 추정/보상을 수행하여 보다 정확한 예측에 의해 잔차신호의 크기가 감소하게 되고, 그 결과 부호화 효율이 더욱 개선되었다. 본 논문에서는 다중 참조 프레임을 사용한 움직임 추정/보상의 효율을 유지하면서도 참조프레임을 나타내는 참조프레임 인덱스 비트를 줄여주어 부호화 효율을 더욱 개선하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 움직임 추정/보상 시, 각각의 참조 프레임에서 움직임 추정/보상에 사용되는 예측화소들을 비교하여 다중 참조 프레임이 효과가 있다고 판단 되는 경우에만 다중 참조 프레임 움직임 추정/보상을 수행하고, 다중 참조 프레임이 효과가 없다고 판단 되는 경우에는 단일 참조 프레임 움직임 추정/보상을 적응적으로 수행하였다. 실험결과 제안하는 방법은 다중 참조 프레임 인덱스 부호화에 소요되는 비트를 절감하면서도 부호화 효율을 유지함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 제안하는 방법은 동영상 압축 코덱에 적용되어 압축 성능을 더욱 향상 할 수 있다.

In general, methods based on histogram or a correction of gamma curve are usually utilized to enhance the contrast of captured image in the dark scene. These methods are efficient to enhance the contrast globally, however, they locally induced the low quality of image. Recently, to resolve the problem, the multi-scaled refiner algorithm improving the contrast with locally averaged lightness is proposed. However, estimating the locally averaged lightness, if there is the object with a high saturated color, the color distortion might be induced by the color of object. Thus, in this paper, the dominant chromaticity of image is estimated to correct the locally averaged lightness in multi-scaled retinex algorithm. Because the average chromaticity of image includes the chromaticity of illumination, the dominant chromaticity is estimated with dividing the average chromaticity of image by the estimated chromaticity of illumination from highlight region. In addition, to improve the lower chroma by multi-scaled retinex algorithm generally, the chroma was compensated preserving the hue in the CIELAB color space.

In this paper, we have studied the enhancement of the acoustic image by combining bases of support for SFR (Spatial Frequency Response) taken at multi-frequencies. The scanning acoustic microscope system have been constructed using the quadrature detector that is able to measure the amplitude and phase of the reflected signal simultaneously. Both real and quadrature components of reflected signal have been acquired at 4.4 ㎒ to 5.6 ㎒ reliably and accurately. In this experimental result, better depth resolution can be obtained by numerically combining images taken at several different frequencies. Image intensity have been better about 3.4 times at multi-frequency than one at a single frequency.

In this paper, we propose a computational generation method of elemental images for time-multiplexed 3D integral imaging display based lens division. In the proposed method, we analyze the image formation between 3D object and elemental images based on ray optics. Based on the analyzed formation, we generate the elemental image set for time-multiplexed display. Positions of an object point picked up in proposed method is shifted for half size of lens divided from those in conventional method when generating elemental images. To show the usefulness of the proposed method, we carry out the preliminary experiments and present the results.

A number of algorithms for improving the image quality of low light images have been studied using a single image or multiple exposure images. The low light image is low in contrast and has a large amount of noise, which limits the identification of information of the subject. This paper proposes the hardware design of algorithms that improve the quality of low light image using 2 multiple exposure images taken with a dual camera. The proposed hardware structure is designed in real time processing in a way that does not use frame memory and line memory using transfer function. The proposed hardware design has been designed using Verilog and validated in Modelsim. Finally, when the proposed algorithm is implemented on FPGA using xc7z045-2ffg900 as the target board, the maximum operating frequency is 167.617MHz. When the image size is 1920x1080, the total clock cycle time is 2,076,601 and can be processed in real time at 80.7fps.

Stereo matching techniques are categorized in two major schemes, local and global matching techniques. In global matching schemes, several investigations are introduced, where cost accumulation is performed in multiple matching lines. In this paper, we introduce a new multi-line stereo matching techniques which expands a conventional single-line matching scheme to multiple one. Matching cost is based on simple normalized cross correlation. We expand the scan-line optimization technique to a multi-line scan-line optimization technique. The proposed technique first generates a reliability image, which is iteratively updated based on the previous reliability measure. After some number of iterations, the reliability image is completed by a hole-filling algorithm. The hole-filling algorithm introduces a disparity score table which records the disparity score of the current pixel. The disparity of an empty pixel is determined by comparing the scores of the neighboring pixels. The proposed technique is tested using the Middlebury and CMU stereo images. The error analysis shows that the proposed matching technique yields better performance than using conventional global matching algorithm.

This dissertation present a chip with Multi-Access Memory System(MAMS) and parallel processor for 16 Processing Elements of image processing purpose. MAMS is a kind of parallel access memory system and can simultaneously access to random pixel datas with eight types. It is possible to set a interval about pixel datas to access, too. The parallel processor built-in MAMS actually has been realized in 2003 but its performance fell short of a real time process for high-definition images. I designed a improved parallel processing system by means of addition and expansion of Memory Modules and Processing Elements of previous one. It is feasible to perform a Morphological Closing at the speed of 3 times of the previous one and 6 times of serial system.

Multi-car rear-end collision accidents have three categories: sequential collision from the rear which is commonly referred to as chain reaction collision, sequential collision from the front, and mixed-order collision. This paper suggests several effective methods of reconstruction analysis for multi-car rear-end collision accidents. First, by incorporating the traditional empirical method which uses vehicle damage caused by brake dive and passenger injuries, with results of theoretical analysis made within mechanics of rigid body, it is made possible for the method to be put to immediate practical use. A methodology to precisely analyze multi-car rear-end collision accidents was suggested using a simulation program simultaneously with a video event data recorder which is starting to be widely used in domestic vehicles. To go beyond the simple intuitive analysis of the video event data recorder, the simulation analysis based on the results of video analysis was executed to acquire various information, so that the causes and responsibility could be clearly stated.
