As a potential approach for non-destructive testing of concrete structures, we evaluate the time-of-flight (TOF) ultrasound tomography technique In conventional X ray tomography, the reconstructed Image corresponds to the internal attenuation coefficient However, in TOF ultrasound tomography, the reconstructed Image is proportional to the retractive index of the medium Because refractive effects are minimal for X-rays, conventional reconstruction techniques are applied to reconstruct the Image in X-ray tomography However, since ultrasound travels in curved path, due to the spatial variations in the refractive index of the medium, the path must be known to correctly reconstruct the Image. Algorithm for determining the ultrasound path is developed from a Geometrical Optics point view and the image reconstruction algorithm, since the paths are curved It requires the algebraic approach, namely the ART or the SIRT Here, the difference between the computed and the measured TOP data is used as a basis, for the iteration process First the initial image is reconstructed assuming straight paths. It then updates the path based on the recently reconstructed image This process of reconstruction and path determination repeats until convergence The proposed algorithm is evaluated by computer simulations, and in addition is applied to a real concrete structure.

The In this paper, we have made numerical experiments to compare 2D image reconstruction algorithm of earth model by electrical resistance tomograpy (ERT). Gauss-Newton, simultaneous iterative reconstruction technieque (SIRT) and truncated least squares (TLS) approaches for Wenner and Schlumberger electrode arrays are presented for the solution of the ERT image reconstruction. Computer simulations show that the Gauss-Newton and TLS approach in ERT are proper for 2D image reconstruction of an earth model.

This paper reconstructs local region of a facial expression image from extracted feature points of facial expression image using FCM(Fuzzy C-Meang) clustering algorithm with Gabor wavelets. The feature extraction in a face is two steps. In the first step, we accomplish the edge extraction of main components of face using average value of 2-D Gabor wavelets coefficient histogram of image and in the next step, extract final feature points from the extracted edge information using FCM clustering algorithm. This study presents that the principal components of facial expression images can be reconstructed with only a few feature points extracted from FCM clustering algorithm. It can also be applied to objects recognition as well as facial expressions recognition.

This paper proposes a method of restoring corrupted depth image captured by depth camera through unsupervised learning using generative adversarial network (GAN). The proposed method generates restored face depth images using 3D morphable model convolutional neural network (3DMM CNN) with large-scale CelebFaces Attribute (CelebA) and FaceWarehouse dataset for training deep convolutional generative adversarial network (DCGAN). The generator and discriminator equip with Wasserstein distance for loss function by utilizing minimax game. Then the DCGAN restore the loss of captured facial depth images by performing another learning procedure using trained generator and new loss function.

This paper suggests a new method of finding regularization parameter for image restoration problems. If the prior information is not available, separate optimization functions for Tikhonov regularization parameter are suggested in the literature such as generalized cross validation and L-curve criterion. In this paper, unified Bayesian interpretation of Tikhonov regularization is introduced and applied to the image restoration problems. The relationship between Tikhonov regularization parameter and Bayesian hyper-parameters is established. Update formular for the regularization parameter using both maximum a posteriori(: MAP) and evidence frameworks is suggested. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Electrical resistance tomography(ERT) maps resistivity values of the soil subsurface and characterizes buried objects. The characterization includes location, size and resistivity of buried objects. In this paper, Gauss-Newton, truncated least squares(TLS) and simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique(SIRT) methods are presented for the solution of the ERT image reconstruction. Computer simulations show that the spatial resolution of the reconstructed images by the TLS approach is improved as compared to those obtained by the Gauss-Newton and SIRT method.

Recently, two phase scheme for removing impulse noise in images is proposed. This algorithms first detect the noise candidates based on the adaptive median filter, and then apply optimizing techniques recursively only to those noise candidates to restore image. Thus the noise detector with high accuracy is important role on this algorithm, In this paper, novel noise detector is proposed, which can detect impose noise with high accuracy while reducing the probability of false detecting image details as impulses. And the method for reducing computational cost of regularization phase is presented also.

여러 장의 입력 영상으로부터 3차원 형상 정보를 복원하는 기법은 크게 스테레오(stereo) 기법과 각선 기반 방법으로 나누어져 있다. 특히 복셀 기반 방법은 스테레오 기법에서의 대응점 문제를 극복하고 가리어짐 현상이나 컬러의 변화가 적은 영역에서의 현상 복원 능력이 우수한 것으로 알려져 있지만 광학적 외피(photo hull) 이라는 근본적인 복원 한계성을 가진다. Photo hull은 바라보는 카메라의 위치에 크게 의존하는 성질을 보인다. 조건에 맞는 최적의 카메라 위치를 결정하는 것을 시점 계획(view planning)이라 고 하고 거리 영상(range images)로부터 형상을 복원하는 기법에 활발히 연구되어져 왔다. 본 논문에서는 복셀 기반 방법에서의 단점인 photo hull을 줄이기 위해 최적의 시점을 선택하는 시점 계획(view planning)에 대한 알고리듬을 제안하고 photo hull의 효과를 최소로 하여 형상이 복원되는 것을 실험을 통해 검증한다.

We derive the phase error of hologram due to imperfection of a wave plate, the azimuth angle error of a wave plate, and the azimuth angle error of a linear polarizer. Also, we analyze the effect of phase error by the modified triangular interferometer in case of 3-D image reconstruction of hologram.

X-선 검색장치는 대상체의 단면을 스캔하여 결과를 확인하기 때문에 정확성이 낮다는 것이 문제점으로 지적되어왔다. 이를 개선하기 위하여 선행연구로 스테레오 X-선 검색장치를 개발하여 단일 대상체에 대하여 윤곽선 정합 및 볼륨기반 형상복원 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 스테레오 X-선 검색장치를 이용하여 두 개의 중첩된 대상체를 스캔하여 형상을 분리 복원하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 중첩 대상체에 대한 분리 복원을 위해 벡터정보의 거리값을 계산하여 내 외부 복셀을 분리하고 중첩부분에 대한 제거는 Z축을 기준으로 임계치를 두어 분리하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 3차원 스테레오 X-선 검색장치에 대한 스캔영상의 형상복원 알고리즘 개선을 통해 제한된 스캔환경에서 집적화된 대상체의 검색을 가능하도록 할 것이다.
