Caption in video plays an important role that delivers video content. Existing caption region extraction methods are difficult to extract caption region from background because they are sensitive to noise. This paper proposes the method to extract caption region in sports video using multiple frame merge and MBR(Minimum Bounding Rectangles). As preprocessing, adaptive threshold can be extracted using contrast stretching and Othu Method. Caption frame interval is extracted by multiple frame merge and caption region is efficiently extracted by median filtering, morphological dilation, region labeling, candidate character region filtering, and MBR extraction.

We can speak caption as information that can not except caption on sports video. The sports highlight were composed that we recognize captioning. This paper is the necessary work to the middle-step to analysis the caption through the retrieval and discrimination from the position of caption. This paper improve at first and simplify the image through the excellent threshold value algorithm in the preprocessing and then use method that can analysis caption through the multiplex frame merging algorithm. Its speed performing shows up higher and simplier than the region growing process.

표면영상유속계는 홍수시 하천의 표면유속을 손쉽게 측정할 수 있는 매우 효율적인 장비이다. 특히 원적외선 카메라를 이용할 경우 주야간에 관계없이 사용할 수 있어, 그 유용성이 크게 높아진다. 다만, 원적외선 카메라는 그 특성상 해상도가 일반 비디오 카메라에 비해 현저하게 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 해상도가 낮은 원적외선 영상을 이용하여 보다 효율적으로 표면유속을 산정하는 새로운 기법을 구현하는 것이다. 해상도가 낮다는 것은 영상 내에 추적을 위한 추적자가 잘 나타나지 않는다는 의미이다. 이처럼 적절한 추적자가 영상내에 적을 경우에는 정확한 표면유속을 산정하기 곤란하다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 두 가지 방안을 조합하였다. 기존의 상호상관분석에서는 동영상의 연속된 프레임 두 매를 이용하였다. 본 연구에서는 연속된 여러 매의 프레임을 병합하여 한 매의 병합영상으로 만들고, 이러한 병합영상 두 매를 상호상관분석하는 방법을 개발하였다. 이 경우 영상을 병합하기 때문에 한 병합영상내에 충분한 수의 추적자가 들어올 가능성이 그만큼 높아지게 된다. 정확도 향상을 위한 두 번째 방안은, 돗수분포 평활화를 이용하는 것이다. 돗수분포 평활화 기법은 대비가 낮은 영상의 대비를 높이는 방법이다. 이렇게 대비를 높여서, 영상내 추적자의 존재를 더욱 확실하게 만들 수 있다. 이 두 가지 방법을 병용하여 새로 원적외선 표면영상유속계를 구현하고, 이를 기존의 분석이 어려웠던 동영상에 적용한 결과 그 분석 정확도가 현저하게 높아지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Recently, interests about frame error reduction method, using multiple PCM data which are received at several ground stations, are increasing. Simple data merge method is already applied to data processing system at Naro Space Center and have been used in the first and the second flight test analysis of KSLV-I. This paper is focused on error reduction with error correcting merge algorithm and time-delayed data correction algorithm. Result of applying the proposed algorithms to the flight test data shows 1.32% improvement in error rate, compared to simple-data-merge method. It is considered that presented algorithms could be very useful in generating various telemetry merge data.

In this paper, we propose fast and precise extracting & tracking algorithm based on general camera and frame grabber for facial motion capture animation. Proposed algorithm consists of two steps. extracting and tracking. The former is to separate multiple markers from input image using region merging based on neural networks. The latter Is to track extracted multiple markers at each frame using tracking algorithm based on neural networks. In the experiment, we could remove noise and reduce processing time in the step of extraction. In addition, we could have good tracking results in the low frame rates.

In this paper, we propose an efficient method for detecting and tracking multiple moving objects based on morphological region merging from real-time video sequences. The proposed approach consists of adaptive threshold extraction, morphological region merging and detecting and tracking of objects. Firstly, input frame is separated into moving regions and static regions using the difference of images between two consecutive frames. Secondly, objects are segmented with a reference background image and adaptive threshold values, then, the segmentation result is refined by morphological region merge algorithm. Lastly, each object segmented in a previous step is assigned a consistent identification over time, based on its spatio-temporal information. The experimental results show that a proposed method is efficient and useful in terms of real-time multiple objects detecting and tracking.

This paper proposes a telemetering method that transmits the real-time data together with the time-delayed data and that merges both data after flight test. The method can minimize the error data which occur in the communication environment affected by the multipath fading and transmit antenna pattern when telemetry data are received during the flight test. This method was applied to the design of the telemetry unit and the development of data merging program. By merging the resulting data of flight test and analyzing synchronization errors, its efficiency for the telemetry link is verified.

Object-based coding, such as MPEG-4, enables various content-based functionalities for multimedia applications. In order to support such functionalities, as well as to improve coding efficiency, each frame of video sequences should be segmented into video objects. In this paper. we propose an effective video object segmentation method using nonlinear multiscale filtering and spatio-temporal information. Proposed method performs a spatial segmentation using a nonlinear multiscale filtering based on the stabilized inverse diffusion equation(SIDE). And, the segmented regions are merged using region adjacency graph(RAG). In this paper, we use a statistical significance test and a time-variant memory as temporal segmentation methods. By combining of extracted spatial and temporal segmentations, we can segment the video objects effectively. Proposed method is more robust to noise than the existing watershed algorithm. Experimental result shows that the proposed method improves a boundary accuracy ratio by 43% on "Akiyo" and by 29% on "Claire" than A. Neri's Method does.

Recently, the virtual view generation method using depth data is employed to support the advanced stereoscopic and auto-stereoscopic displays. Although depth data is invisible to user at 3D video rendering, its accuracy is very important since it determines the quality of generated virtual view image. Many works are related to such depth enhancement exploiting a time-of-flight (TOF) camera. In this paper, we propose a fast 3D scene capturing system using one TOF camera at center and two high-resolution cameras at both sides. Since we need two depth data for both color cameras, we obtain two views' depth data from the center using the 3D warping technique. Holes in warped depth maps are filled by referring to the surrounded background depth values. In order to reduce mismatches of object boundaries between the depth and color images, we used the joint bilateral filter on the warped depth data. Finally, using two color images and depth maps, we generated 10 additional intermediate images. To realize fast capturing system, we implemented the proposed system using multi-threading technique. Experimental results show that the proposed capturing system captured two viewpoints' color and depth videos in real-time and generated 10 additional views at 7 fps.
