우리는 본 논문에서 디지털 영상에 대하여 Hash함수를 이용한 내용기반의 안전한 워터마킹 인증기술을 제시하려고 한다. 허가되지 않는 이미지의 내용변경을 막기 위해 안전한 워터마킹 시스템을 개발하기 위하여 비밀키를 가지고 있는 Hash 함수가 사용되었고, 각 블록의 워터마크신호는 Hash함수의 출력결과를 Seed로 사용하여 의사난수를 발생시킨 값에 따라 생성되어진다. 이미지 기술벡터들은 블록기반 에지 이미지로부터 측정되는데 이 값들은 해롭지 않는 조작 등에 대해서는 쉽게 변화하지 않지만 고의적인 내용변경 등의 조작에 대해서는 이들 값들이 바꾸어지는 성질을 갖고 있다. 워터마크신호의 삽입은 블록기반 스펙트럼 방법에 기초를 두고 있으며 워터마크신호의 크기는 인지성과 강인성이 조화를 이루도록 AC 부 밴드의 지그재그 스캔라인의 DCT 계수들의 지역적인 통계량에 따라 조정되어진다. 또한 저작권인증의 확인을 위한 경계 값의 선택은 통계학적으로 분석되어진다. 수치적인 실험의 결과는 제안된 기술이 강력한 저작권인증의 수행을 위해서 매우 효율적인 것을 보여주고 있다.

Many techniques have been proposed for digital image enlargement, which use spatially neighbored pixels information in a still image. In this paper, we propose the digital image interpolation method that improves edge characteristics by selectively transposing the sub-windows of pseudomedian filter, which results in relatively better performance than others. We have simulated the proposed algorithm using Visual C++ and verified performance of the algorithm by PSNR(Peak signal Noise Ratio) and edge characteristics. Finally, we have designed the adaptive pseudomedian by using synopsys VHDL(Very high speed integrated circuit Hardware Description Language).

각종 음성질환에 있어서 음성검사는 진단뿐 아니라 치료를 위한 중요한 방법으로 알려져 왔다. 특히 수술전후 음성질환의 평가에는 음성검사 뿐 아니라, 후두스트로보스코피를 이용하여 비교함으로써 가능하다. 이중 후두스트로보스코피는 방법이 간단하여 직접 수술전후의 변화를 알 수 있는 장점이 있으나, 객관적인 자료로는 이용하기가 어려운 문제점이 있다. 후두스트로보스코피의 영상자료를 컴퓨터에 연결, 영상신호를 디지털화하여 후두의 움직임을 객관적으로 관찰하려고 시도되어왔다 특히 편측 성대마비 환자에서는 성대의 위치가 외전 될뿐만 아니라 피열연골의 위치가 마비 후 시간이 경과됨에 따라 외회전 하고 성대가 전방으로 위축되어 성대 막성부의 길이가 짧아지는 틀의 후두스트로보스코피의 영상을 보이고, 성대폴립환자에서는 수술전후에 폴립의 크기와 성문면적에 변화를 보이게 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 편측 성대마비와 성대폴립과 같은 각기 다른 두 질병에서 음성경사와 후두스트로보스코피를 이용한 이미지 화상분석을 통해 각 성대의 길이, 각도, 성문틈의 면적과 폴립의 크기등을 측정함으로써 수술전후의 차이를 알아보고, 이미지 화상분석과 음성검사 사이에 어떠한 상관관계가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다.

본 논문에서는 디지털 멀티미디어 데이터의 저작권 보호를 위하여 웨이블릿 기반 인간 시각 시스템과 주파수 계수의 공간적 특성을 이용한 워터마킹 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 원영상을 1-Level 분해하여 HL1영역과 LH1영역을 4${\times}$4 영역으로 블록화하고 각 블록의 엔트로피와 텍스쳐 값이 가장 좋은 영역을 찾는다. 워터마크가 삽입될 영역은 상위 레벨 계수들의 상관도 특성에 따라서 3-Level 영역에 워터마크를 삽입하였다. 성능평가로 JPEG 압축, 필터링 등 워터마크된 영상에 외부공격을 가하여 워터마크 추출여부를 확인하였고, 실험결과 제안한 알고리즘은 JPEG 압축 50% 이상에서 90%이상의 상관도를 보였고, 샤프닝, 필터링 및 부분삭제 영상변형에 강인함을 보였다.

The comparison of images uses PSNR generally. In the case that PSNR value is above 35, it is hard to distinguish the quality of images. In 2006 Lee has proposed the protocol to be able to prove ownership of image using publishing MSB bit strings of original image instead of original images and used the new function to measure correlation of MSB bit strings of two images. In the view of measuring the quality of images, correlation is a bit different from PSNR. That is, if an object image to gene ate from an original image has lower quality, PSNR has very low value, but though the quality is bad, correlation of the images is very high in the view of similarity. In this paper, we modify MSB comparison function that LEE suggested and propose the ICOR function, then analyze the possibility to decide correlation of two images.

As multimedia information is spread over cyber networks, problems such as protection of legal rights and original proof of an information owner raise recently. Various image transformations of DCT, DFT and DWT have been used to embed a watermark as a token of ownership. Recently, SVD being used in the field of numerical analysis is additionally applied to the watermarking methods. A watermarking method is proposed in this paper using Gabor cosine and sine transform as well as SVD for embedding and extraction of watermarks for digital images. After delivering attacks such as noise addition, space transformation, filtering and compression on watermarked images, watermark extraction algorithm is performed using the proposed GCST-SVD method. Normalized correlation values are calculated to measure the similarity between embedded watermark and extracted one as the index of watermark performance. Also visual inspection for the extracted watermark images has been done. Watermark images are inserted into the lowest vertical ac frequency band. From the experimental results, the proposed watermarking method using the singular vectors of SVD shows large correlation values of 0.9 or more and visual features of an embedded watermark for various attacks.

This study estimates and evaluates the parameters to relate spectral intensities of aerial and terrestrial images through spectral analysis of each band. For the experiment, an aerial image covering the headquater of the Kyungpook National University was used and terrestrial images were taken by the Sony DSC-F828 DSLR camera. For finding the spectral correspondence, gray intensity, RGB variance, mean, standard deviation were computed, from which parameters of a linear model between patches of both images were computed and evaluated using check patches.

Most of digital subtraction methods in dental radiography are based on registration using manual landmarks. We have developed an automatic registration method without using the manual selection of landmarks. By restricting a geometrical matching of images to a region of interest (ROl), we compare the cross-correlation coefficient only between the ROIs. The affine or perspective transform parameters satisfying maximum of cross-correlation between the local regions are searched iteratively by a fast searching strategy. The parameters are searched on the 1/4 scale image coarsely and then, the fine registration is performed on the original scale image. The developed method can match the images corrupted by Gaussian noise with the same accuracy for the images without any transform simulation. The registration accuracy of the perspective method shows a 17% improvement over the manual method. The application of the developed method to radiography of dental implants provides an automatic noise robust registration with high accuracy in almost real time.

Video contents in the mobile environment are processed with the low bit-rate relative to normal video contents due to the consideration of network traffic; hence, it is necessary to protect the copyright of the low bit-rate video contents. The algorithm for watermarking appropriate for the mobile environment should be developed because the performance of the mobile devices is much lower than that of personal computers. This paper suggested the invisible spread spectrum watermarking method to the low bit-rate video contents, considering the low performance of the mobile device in the M-Commerce environment; it also enables to track down illegal users of the video contents to protect the copyright. The robustness of the contents with watermark is expressed with the correlation of extraction algorithm from watermark removed or distorted contents. The results of our experiment showed that we could extract the innate frequencies of M-Sequence when we extracted M-Sequence after compressing the contents with watermark easily. Therefore, illegal users of the contents can be tracked down because watermark can be extracted from the low bit-rate video contents.

Various image transformations can be used to compress images, to reduce noises in images and to extract useful features. Watermarking techniques using DCT and DWT have been a lot of research interest in the spread of multimedia contents. In this paper, Gabor cosine and sine transform considered as human visual filter is applied to embedding and extraction of watermarks for digital images. The proposed transform is used for watermarking with fifteen attacks. Randomly normal distributed noises are used as an embedded watermark. To measure the similarity between the embedded watermark and extracted one, a correlation value is computed and furthermore is compared with that of existing DCT method. Correlation values of extracted watermark are computed with randomly normal distributed noise sequences, and the sequence with the largest correlation value is declared as the embedded watermark. Frequency components are divided into various bands. Experimental results for low frequency and mid-frequency bands have shown that the proposed GCST provides a good watermarking algorithm and its performance is better than DCT.
