The result of fingerprint matching is different as the quality or the state of input fingerprint image. We can extract the false direction information when the quality of fingerprint is degraded by the noise or the scars of the ridges. The information of the direction is very important for the elimination of the false minutia, the measurement of the ridge distance, matching, finding of cores and deltas. We need the method which can compensate or correct the false information of directions because the false directions include serious errors in the fingerprint recognition. We propose a method which can compensate or correct the false direction of fingerprint with a \alpha$-trimmed mean filter followed by LPF to reconstruct the false direction information when fingerprints are corrupted by scars.

In many multimedia applications, image compression is required to substantially reduce the amount of image data. This compression, however, sometimes brings artifacts. Typical artifacts are blocking artifacts and mosquito noise in DCT-coded images, and ringing artifacts around edges in wavelet-coded images. We propose a new directional postprocessing algorithm, which includes detection of the edge direction, interpolation scheme, and directional nonlinear filtering, to enhance the quality of decoded images. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is as effective as or more effective than other nonlinear filtering techniques.

Considering the field of high frequency or broad-band signal filtering with high speed, we pro-pose optical fiber filters which consist of directional couplers and optical fiber delay elements. Fiber delay line signal processor Is operated with Incoherent optical carrier because of Its simplicity. Due to the characteristics of the directional coupler which Is basic element of optical fiber filter a new design method which Is different from that of usual digital filter is required. By considering the characteristics of directional coupler and in order to make good use of the optical signal energy, we have given the design formulae and the conditions of optical fiber filters for the direct and the lattice form.

In this paper, we propose a homomorphic wavelet-based MMSE filter with edge detection to restore images degraded by speckle noise. In the proposed method, a noisy image is first transformed into logarithmic domain. Each pixel in the transformed image is then classified into flat and edge regions by applying DIP operator to the image restored by homomorphic directional MMSE filter. Each pixel in flat region is restored by homomorphic wavelet-based MMSE filter. Each pixel in edge region is restored by the weighted sum of the output of homomorphic wavelet-based MMSE filtering and that of homomorphic directional MMSE filtering. The restored image in spatial domain is finally obtained by applying the exponential function to the restored image in logarithmic domain. Experimental results show that the restored images by the proposed method have ISNR improvement of 3.3-4.0 ㏈ and ${\beta}$, a measurement parameter on edge preservation, improvement of 0.0103-0.0126 and superior subjective image quality over those by conventional methods.

본 논문에서는 적응적 평활화 필터를 이용한 스캔된 하프톤 문서의 하프톤 잡음 제거 방법을 제안한다. 하프톤 잡음은 잡음의 편차가 커서 에지 영역과 유사한 특성을 나타내므로 일반적인 에지 보존 평활화 필터를 적용할 경우에는 잡음 제거 효과가 떨어진다. 또한 인쇄물에 주로 사용되는 집중형 도트 방식의 하프톤은 컬러 영상에서 채널간의 간섭 현상으로 인해 모아레 패턴을 생성한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 스캔된 하프톤 문서의 하프톤 잡음과 모아레 패턴을 효과적으로 제거하기 위해 하프톤 잡음의 방향성에 기반한 적응적 평활화 필터 방법을 제안한다. 하프톤 잡음의 경우 영상의 에지와 달리 등방성을 가지므로 영상을 블록 단위로 나누어 지배적인 에지의 크기와 방향성을 살핌으로써 적응적 평활화 필터를 구성할 수 있다. 실험 결과, 제안하는 방법은 다양한 인쇄 매체를 통해 생성된 하프톤 문서에 대하여 효과적으로 하프톤 잡음을 제거하면서도 영상의 에지를 보존하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

We demonstrate the operating characteristics(center wavelength, bandwidth, TE/TM polarization, tuning range) of grating-assisted co-directional coupler(GACC) filter fabricated with InGaAsP compound semiconductor. A design of waveguide structure has been focused on the narrow bandwidth characteristics of the filter. Reactive ion etching technique was employed for the uniform waveguide formation. The bandwidths(FWHM) and center wavelengths of the fabricated GACC filter were measured by 1.5 nm and 1530.6 nm for TE polarization and 1.3 nm and 1494.0 nm for TM polarization. This is the one of the narrowest bandwidth at 1530 nm region ever reported. The center wavelength shifted form 1530 nm to 1538 nm when the current of 100 mA was injected at 4.5 mm-long device. Good agreement between the designed and measured operating characteristics for some waveguide structures is demonstrated.

The present study proposed a method that dissolves ultrasonographic images into multiple resolutions using wavelet conversion and a boundary detection filter and improves the quality of ultrasonographic images through boundary detection filtering. In order to reduce noises and strengthen edges, the proposed method adjusted selectivity coefficient by area step by step from a low resolution image obtained from wavelet converted images to a high resolution image and performed edge filtering in consideration of direction. Through this method, we generated a selective low pass filtering effect in areas except edges by decreasing the wavelet coefficient for pixels in spot areas, improved continuity by smoothing edges in the tangential direction, and enhanced contrast by thinning in the normal direction. Through an experiment, we compared the filtering method using a non linear anisotropic expansion model and the filtering method using wavelet contraction structure in single resolution.

본 논문에서는 영상 부호화시 전처리 과정을 수행함으로써 잡음을 제거하는 새로운 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 제안한 알고리듬은 영상의 선명도를 유지할뿐아니라 전체적인 부호화 효율을 높여준다. 효율향상 과정은 다음과 같다. 첫째 블록 특성에 다라 영역을 분류하며, 둘째로는 Canny 연산자와 Sobel 연산자를 이용하여 경계선 방향을 얻는다. 세 번째로 블록 특성과 경계선 방향에 따라 방향성 형태학적 필터를 구한다. 형태학적 필터링은 영상내 존재하는 잡음을 제거하고, 표준 영상의 경우 인간이 시각적으로 느낄 수 없는 성분을 제거한다. 형태학적 필터링은 경계선 성분을 손실시키는 결과가 발생하지만, 제안한 알고리듬은 손실된 경계선 영역을 복원하는 과정을 거친다. 그러한 과정의 결과로, 전체적인 부호화 효율이 향상된다. 특히, 제안한 알고리듬을 적용한 표준영상의 경우, 약 50-50%의 비트 발생량이 줄어드는 결과를 나타내었다. 잡음 분산값을 달리하여 만든 잡음 영상에 제안한 방법을 적용한 결과, 영상의 선명도를 유지하였다. 제안한 알고리듬은 인간의 시각 특성을 고려한 미세한 잡음 제거 방법에서 우수한 성능을 나타내었으며, 영상의 선명도를 유지하는 것을 보여 주었다.

This paper presents a method for Digital Image Motion Restoration by inverse filtering. In order to onstruct optimal Restoration filter, We exactly have to model the degradation process, and therefrom, derive the inverse filter which has inverse charateristics of the degradation model. An Image taken from object which moves fast, is o suffer blurring. it can be modeled by integration process mathematically and analyzed to convolve a rectangular window over an image. in this paper, We analyzed it in the frequency domain, and studied a method for motion restoration using inverse filter has a directional Sinc property.
