Undesired camera shaking can make a blur effect, which causes a degradation of video quality. We propose an efficient method of removing the blur effects on video captured from a single camera. The proposed method has a sequential process that is applied to each frame. The first stage is to estimate the camera motion for each frame. In order to estimate the camera motion, we compute the optical flow using 3 consecutive frames. Then a patch-wise image deconvolution is applied. During the deconvolution, edge prediction is used to improve the quality of image deconvolution. After patch-wise image deconvolution, deblurred patches are integrated into an image to produce a deblurred frame. The above process is performed for each frame. The experimental result shows that the proposed method removes the blur effect efficiently.

카메라로부터 얻은 영상은 이를 얻는 과정에서 카메라의 떨림 및 추가되는 노이즈에 의하여 손상을 입을 수 있으며, 이런 과정으로 손상된 영상에는 움직임 번짐현상(motion blur)이 발생하며 이는 영상의 명확도를 현저하게 떨어지게 한다. 움직임 번짐현상은 주파수 영역에서 움직임의 방향으로 주기적인 영점을 발생시키며 그 주기는 움직임의 길이에 반비례한다. 이러한 영점은 원 영상에 의한 영점과 노이즈에 의하여 소실되므로 이들의 영향을 power 영역에서의 평균법으로 최소화시킬 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 원영상과 노이즈의 영향인 최소화된 상태에서 2차원 cepstrum을 통하여 번짐현상을 주기와 방향을 계산해내는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

본 논문에서는 저비트율 영상통신에서 발생되는 블록화현상과 컬러 번짐 현상을 효과적으로 줄임으로써, 주관적 화질을 개선하는 후처리 필터를 제안한다. 저비트율 영상통신에서 8*8 블록 단위의 DCT 수행은 블록화 및 컬러 번짐 현상과 같은 화질 열화를 초래한다. 이러한 화질 열화를 개선하기 위하여 밝기 영역과 컬러 영역에서 각기 다른 후처리 필터를 본 논문에서 제안한다. 밝기 부분의 후처리 필터에서는 일률적인 후처리 필터에서 발생하게 되는 새로운 artifact 인 geometric pattern 을 방지하기 위해 각 화소의 공간영역에서 블록 경계 좌우로 filtering range 를 다르게 수행하고, 컬러부분의 후처리 필터에서는 컬러번짐 현상을 최대한 억제하기 위해 블록간 컬러 값의 차이에 따라 다르게 수행되는 후처리 필터를 제안한다. 제안된 실험을 통하여 후처리 필터를 수행한 영상화질이 H.263 baseline 에 비해 월등히 나아짐을 확인할 수 있었으며, H.263 Annex J의 deblocking filter mode에 비해서도 떨어지지 않는 화질을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 대역 제한된 색도 신호에 의해 발생하는 컬러번짐 현상을 TV 수신단이나 MPEG 디코더에서 효과적으로 개선하는 방법을 제시한다. 제안하는 컬러 번짐 개선 알고리즘은 비디오 신호에 포함된 색도 신호의 천이를 개선하기 위하여, 색도 신호의 일정 윈도우 영역에 존재하는 주변 화소들의 국부 최대값 및 국부 최소값을 바탕으로 얻어낸 계단 신호를 사용한다. 대역 제한된 색도 신호에서 이웃에 존재하는 화소들간의 색도 차를 계산하여 에지 특성을 분석하고 계산된 색도 차를 바탕으로 입력 신호와 계단신호와의 공간 적응적 가중치를 결정한다. 실험 결과에서는 제안하는 컬러 번짐 개선 알고리즘이 컬러 번짐 효과를 효과적으로 제거하여 선명하면서도 자연스러운 영상을 얻어내는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

In this paper, we propose a deblurring method using 1/4 selective filter. Deblurring methods require a lot of processing time for deblurring. In order to enhance execution speed, we propose a novel 1/4 selective filter. The proposed 1/4 selective filter restores major edge, but it distorts minor edge and texture. To solve this problem, we apply 1/4 selective filter to restore major edge and DOG(Difference of Gaussian) filter to restore minor edge and texture. Experimental results show that the proposed method removes the blur effectively.

Currently the time when we are living the large majority is harmonizing with digital medium together. From the calligraphy which is traditional in the example is reconstituted with digital and with the element which is one design is being born again. This about one being time is not a fun in rediscovery and as the design where the traditional form which seems hardly is modern is mixed in digital medium and is going. In this paper when digitalizing the expressive technique of calligraphy from the work which is analog time knows the important element of the actual conditions which appear and the report person does. The ink which appears from joke from actual work or calligraphy technique analyzes the actual condition spreading and this digitalization at the time of height boil time.

This paper proposes a vector error diffusion method for smear artifact reduction in the boundary region. This artifact mainly results from a large accumulation of quantization errors. In particular, color bands with a smear artifact, the width of a few pixels appear along the edges. Accordingly, to reduce this artifact, the proposed halftoning process excludes the large accumulated Quantization error by comparing the vector norms and vector angles between the error-corrected vector and eight primary color patches. When the vector norm of the error corrected vector is larger than those of eight primary color patches, the quantization error vector is excluded from the quantization error distribution process. In addition, the quantization error is also excluded when the angle between eight primary color patches and error corrected vector is large. As a result, the proposed method enables a visually pleasing halftone pattern to be generated by all three color separations into account in a device- independent color space and reduces smear artifact in the boundary regions.

In this paper, we propose a color transient improvement (CTI) algorithm based on image fusion to improve the color transient in the television(TV) receiver or in the MPEG decoder. Video image signals are composed of one luminance and two chrominance components, and the chrominance signals have been more band-limited than the luminance signals since the human eyes usually cannot perceive changes in chrominance over small areas. However, nowadays, as the advanced media like high-definition TV(HDTV) is developed, the blurring of color is perceived visually and affects the image quality. The proposed CTI method improves the transient of chrominance signals by exploiting the high-frequency information of the luminance signal. The high-frequency component extracted from the luminance signal is modified by spatially adaptive weights and added to the input chrominance signals. The spatially adaptive weight is estimated to minimize the ${\iota}_2-norm$ of the error between the original and the estimated chrominance signals in a local window. Experimental results with various test images show that the proposed algorithm produces steep and natural color edge transition and the proposed method outperforms conventional algorithms in terms of both visual and numerical criteria.

The stationary image appears to move after we view a moving stimulus for a long time. The motion aftereffect(MAE) can spread to an adjacent region if there is no contrast discontinuity between two regions. In this study, it is investigated whether a phenomenon of MAE spreading to an adjacent non adapting area is affected by the depth discontinuity defined by binocular disparity. In the first experiment a disparity defined slanted pattern was presented in an unadapted region, and in the second experiment, a disparity defined pattern with a different depth was presented on the fronto-parallel plane. Although MAE duration in the condition with slanted pattern was not different from that in the non-slanted pattern condition, MAE durations in the pattern presented on pronto-parallel plane was vividly reduced, but not completely disappeared. These results suggest that a phenomenon of MAE spreading might be affected by depth discontinuity, and could be occurred after binocular information converges.
