Most multimedia data contain text to emphasize the meaning of the data, to present additional explanations about the situation, or to translate different languages. But, the left makes it difficult to reuse the images, and distorts not only the original images but also their meanings. Accordingly, this paper proposes a support vector machines (SVMs) and spatiotemporal restoration-based approach for automatic text detection and removal in video sequences. Given two consecutive frames, first, text regions in the current frame are detected by an SVM-based texture classifier Second, two stages are performed for the restoration of the regions occluded by the detected text regions: temporal restoration in consecutive frames and spatial restoration in the current frame. Utilizing text motion and background difference, an input video sequence is classified and a different temporal restoration scheme is applied to the sequence. Such a combination of temporal restoration and spatial restoration shows great potential for automatic detection and removal of objects of interest in various kinds of video sequences, and is applicable to many applications such as translation of captions and replacement of indirect advertisements in videos.

The conventional decoding procedure for the images encoded using fractal contractive transformation algorithms is performed by applying the transformations iteratively for an arbirary initial image. In this paper, we showed that the atractor image can be obtained analytically when the image is encoded using the fractal algorithm proposed by Monro and Dudbridge, in which the corresponding domain block for a range block is fixed. Using the analytical formula, we can obtain the attractor image without iteration procedure. Computer simulation results for various test images show that we can increase the image decoding speed by more than five times when we use the analytical formula compared to the previous iteration methods. Also we confirmed that the real time decoding by software on PD is possible for the moving picture with QCIF formats.

본 논문에서는 이진 영상에서 일부 정보가 손실된 경우에 히스토그램을 분석하여 구간을 분할한 후, 오츠 이진화와 퍼지 이진화 기법을 적용하여 원 영상을 이진화 한 후에 홉필드 네트워크를 적용하여 영상을 복원하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 그레이 영상에서 히스토그램을 분석하여 픽셀 값의 변화의 폭이 큰 부분들을 분석하여 구간들을 분할하고 변화의 폭이 큰 부분의 지점에 속하는 영역은 오츠 이진화 기법을 적용하여 이진화하고 그 외의 구간들은 퍼지 이진화 기법을 적용하여 영상을 이진화 한다. 그리고 이진화 된 영상을 홉필드 네트워크를 적용하여 학습한다. 실험 영상에 정보 손실이 발생한 영상을 대상으로 제안된 방법을 적용한 결과, 대부분의 정보 손실이 있는 영상에서 모두 복원되는 것을 확인하였다.

이 논문에서 우리는 텍스쳐 정보가 적은 영역이 존재하는 입력 영상들에 대해서도 안정적인 복원을 도출하는 새로운 다시 점 스테레오 방법을 제시한다. 제안된 방법에서는 입력 영상들을 인접한 픽셀간의 색 유사성을 이용하여 세그먼테이션한 후, 세그먼트 단위로 다시점 스테레오를 수행한다. 특히 그 과정에서 한 영상 내의 이웃한 세그먼트들의 깊이 값 유사성, 그리고 서로 다른 시점에서 상응하는 세그먼트 간의 깊이 값 일관성을 가정하여, 텍스쳐 정보가 적은 영역에 대해서도 안정적으로 3D 점들을 생성해준다. 생성된 3D 점들은 그래프 컷 기반의 복원 알고리즘을 통해 일관된 3D 표면으로 복원 되었고, 복원 결과는 제안된 방법이 실제로 기존의 다른 다시점 스테레오에 비해 보다 안정적으로 깊이 정보를 추출할 수 있음을 보여준다. 결과적으로 제안된 방법은 보다 일반적이고 실생활에 가까운 입력 영상들에 대해서도 3D 복원을 수행할 수 있는 방향을 제시한다.

본 논문에서는 데이터의존성과 벡터왜곡척도를 이용하여 개선된 칼라영상을 복호화하였다. 프랙탈 칼라영상의 복원방법은 Zhang과 Po의 벡터왜곡척도를 이용한 R, G, B 칼라 성분간의 상관관계를 고려하여 부호화한 압축파일을 사용하여 수렴될 복원영상을 독립적인 반복변환에 의해 수렴되는 영역과 데이터의존성을 갖는 영역으로 분류하여 데이터의존성 부분이 차지하는 만큼 복호화 과정에서 불필요한 계산량이 제거되었고, R 영역에서 검색한 데이터 의존영역을 G, B 영역에 그대로 사용하여 고속복호화가 가능하였다.

This paper describes iterative restoration method of restoring blurred images using the LOG compansion function and Conjugate Gradient method. Conventional restoration methods results satisfy the requirement performance for restoring blurred images. but iteration number and convergence velocity increase. This paper proposed an opmtimised iteration restoration method for the images degraded by blurring effect, using the LOG compansion function and Conjugate Gradient method. Here, the LOG compansion function used to improve local properties of the image being restored, made the visual character and convergence velocity of the restored image improved. Throught the simulation results, the author showed that proposed algorithm produced superior performance results by conventional methods.

Emergence of high-resolution digital aerial cameras and airborne laser scanners have made innovative progress in photogrammetry and spatial information technology. The purpose of this study is to generate true orthoimage by recovering occlusion areas. The orthoimages were generated patch-based transformation. The occlusion areas were mutually corrected by using multiple aerial images. This study proposed a novel method of building roof based orthoimage generation and an effective method of occlusion area detection and recovery. The proposed methods could be efficient to generate true orthoimages in urban areas where occlusion areas are problematic.

Today CCTV can be come across easily in public institutions, banks and etc. These CCTV plays very important roles for preventing many kinds of crimes and resolving those crime affairs. But in the case of recording a image of a specific person far from the CCTV, the original image needs to be enlarged and recovered in order to identify the person more obviously. The interpolation is usually used for the enlargement and recovery of the image. This interpolation has a certain limitation. As the magnification of enlargement is getting bigger, the quality of the original image can be worse than before. This paper uses FDP(Face Definition Parameter) of MPEG-4 SNHC FBA group and introduces a new algorithm that the face outline of a face image using Vector Descriptor based on the FDP makes possible better image recovery than the known methods until now.

In this paper, we analyzed satellite image with a high resolution compression performance. We need much time in a fast processing on vast satellite image pixel data. On compressing and decompressing, we should keep the information about road, building, forest, etc. In conclusion, we did analyze and compare the performance of compression and decompression for JPEG and WSQ(wavelet scalar quantization) method. As a result, we knew that WSQ was more efficient than JPEG.
