Interpolation or super-resolution is used in order to restore degradation of image quality that appears after various transform of image. The method on subjective or objective image resolution improvement having low computation complexity has been being researched in many different ways. In this paper, image enhancement method using improved self degradation restoration(ISDR) method is proposed. The proposed method uses ISDR to estimate pixel value of missed coordinate in the process of image scaling, and combines the estimated loss information and interpolated image to generate enhanced result image. The proposed method shows that PSNR increases by 1.8dB, and subjective image quality is superior to other compared methods. The proposed method can be applied as a basis technique in variety of applications which requires image scale transform.

Estimation of the point spread function (PSF) is one of the main research topic of image processing, because it determines the performance of the auto-focusing system. In this paper, a new algorithm for PSF estimation is proposed, and its application to image restoration is also presented. The procedure for complete realization of the auto-focusing system consists of two steps: PSF estimation based on edge classification, and image restoration using the estimated PSF. More specifically, we divide imput image into multiple small image or block, estimate unit step response and average them on the blocks which contain edge, and estimate 2-dimensional isotropic PSF from the 1 dimensional step response. Finally we obtain in-focused image by using image restoration based on the estimated PSF.

본 논문은 움직이는 거울을 사용하여 얻은 물체의 영상에서 물체의 3차원을 실시간에 복원하는 능동적 비전(active vision) 시스템을 제안한다. 거울을 사용한 기존의 스테레오 시스템에서는 거울들과 카메라가 고정되어 있어 물체의 부분적인 3차원 복원만이 가능한 반면, 제안하는 시스템은 거울에 의해 생성되는 두 개의 소실점을 이용함으로써 항상 실시간 카메라 보정이 가능하며, 간단하게 거울에 맺힌 영상들간의 대응점을 찾음으로써 물체의 3차원 복원이 가능하다.

In this work, we considered a compressed-sensing (CS)-based image deblurring scheme with a total-variation (TV) regularization penalty for improving image characteristics in digital tomosynthesis (DTS). We implemented the proposed image deblurring algorithm and performed a systematic simulation to demonstrate its viability. We also performed an experiment by using a table-top setup which consists of an x-ray tube operated at $90kV_p$, 6 mAs and a CMOS-type flat-panel detector having a $198-{\mu}m$ pixel resolution. In the both simulation and experiment, 51 projection images were taken with a tomographic angle range of ${\theta}=60^{\circ}$ and an angle step of ${\Delta}{\theta}=1.2^{\circ}$ and then deblurred by using the proposed deblurring algorithm before performing the common filtered-backprojection (FBP)-based DTS reconstruction. According to our results, the image sharpness of the recovered x-ray images and the reconstructed DTS images were significantly improved and the cross-plane spatial resolution in DTS was also improved by a factor of about 1.4. Thus the proposed deblurring scheme appears to be effective for the blurring problems in both conventional radiography and DTS and is applicable to improve the present image characteristics.

본 논문에서 우리는 grey scale 영상을 weighted finite automata(WFA)로써 기술하는 두개의 알고리즘(2, 4)을 분석하였다. 또한 원영상과 WFA를 이용하여 압축된 영상간의 error를 분석하고 그 결과를 제시하였다. 구체적으로, 영상복원 tolerance $\delta$를 이용하여 찾아진 atomatone에 의해 복원된 영상과 원영상의 ι$^2$-norm의 차이가 $\delta$보다 작거나 같음을 증명하였다.

본 논문에서는 점확산함수(point spread function; PSF)의 추정을 기반으로 한 완전한 자동초점 시스템을 제안한다. 초점이 맞지 않은 영상의 정확한 PSF의 추정을 위해서, 입력 영상을 부영상으로 분할하고, 에지를 가진 부영상들의 계수함수 응답의 평균을 취한다. 초점이 맞지 않은 열화로 발생하는 PSF는 보통 영상이 물체와 배경간에 선형의 경계를 가지고 있다는 가정하에 에지의 방향을 따라 평균되어진 계단함수 응답의 차이를 따라 추정되어진다. 이렇게 예측된 PSF를 사용하여 영상복원 필터는 제한적 최소 제곱의 접근방법을 통해 구현되어진다.

In this paper, the fractal image compression using the minimizing method of domain region is proposed. It is minimize to domain regions in the process of decoding. Since the conventional fractal decoding applies to IFS(iterative function system) for the total range blocks of the decoded image, its computational complexity is a vast amount. In order to improve this using the number of the referenced times to the domain blocks for the each range blocks, a classification method which divides necessary and unnecessary regions for IFS is suggested. If necessary regions for IFS are reduced, the computational complexity is reduced. The proposed method is to define the minimum domain region that a necessary region for IFS is minimized in the encoding algorithms. That is, a searched region of the domain is limited to the range regions that is similar with the domain regions. So, the domain region is more overlapped. Therefore, there is not influence on image quality or PSNR(peak signal-to-noise ratio). And it can be a fast decoding by reduce the computational complexity for IFS in fractal image decoding.

Image blurring is a phenomenon that occurs due to factors such as movement of a subject and shaking of a camera. Recently, the research for image deblurring has been actively conducted based on convolution neural networks. In particular, the method of guiding the restoration process via the difference between blur and sharp images has shown the promising performance. This paper proposes a novel method for improving the deblurring performance based on the distortion information. To this end, the transformer-based neural network module is designed to guide the restoration process. The proposed method efficiently reflects the distorted region, which is predicted through the global inference during the deblurring process. We demonstrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed module based on experimental results with various deblurring architectures and benchmark datasets.
