카메라를 이용하여 정지 영상을 획득할 때 발생할 수 있는 모션 블러 (motion blur) 현상을 보정하기 위해서는 정확한 블러파라미터 (블러의 방향, 블러의 크기)의 추정이 가장 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 블러된 영상의 로그 스펙트럼 (log spectrum)의 비등방성 (anisotropic)과 엔트로피 (Entropy) 특성에 기반한 블러 파라미터 추정 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 1D 로그스펙트럼을 이용한 비등방성의 효과적인 분석과 블러 크기의 정확도를 증가시키기 위한 보상 과정을 포함한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 기법이 단일 영상에서의 등속 직선 운동의 모션 블러 현상을 더 효과적으로 보정하는 것을 보였다.

본 논문에서 우리는 동영상에서 인접한 블러되지 않은 참조 프레임을 이용하여 모션 블러를 제거하는 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 디블러링 방법들은 주로 단일 영상을 이용한 방법들로 정확한 커널을 예측하는 것과 원본 영상에 준하는 영상을 복원하는 것에 한계가 존재한다. 하지만 동영상에서 부분적인 프레임에만 블러가 발생한 특수한 경우에는 인접한 위치에 존재하는 블러되지 않은 프레임을 활용하는 것이 가능하다. 제안하는 방법은 블러된 프레임과 인접한 위치에 존재하는 블러되지 않은 프레임 사이에 움직임을 추정하고, 움직임 보상된 영상을 이용하여 커널을 추정한다. 또한 움직임 오차에 따른 잔여 오차 성분에 대해서만 디컨벌루션을 적용하여 물결현상이 억제된 최종적인 결과 영상을 생성한다. 실험 결과는 제안한 방법이 기존의 디블러링 기법에 비해 에지 부분을 잘 복원시키면서 물결현상은 감소된 보다 우수한 디블러링 결과를 가져오는 것을 보여준다.

Motion blur is a blurring effect on an image caused by the relative motion between the camera and objects in the scene. When an image is captured, motion blurs are caused by relative motion between the camera and the scene. When different objects are moving at different speeds, the characteristics of the blur effect for each object appear differently. To restore the spatially variant blurred image, each of the blur extents should be identified. In this paper, we propose a new method for the identification of blur extent locally using RATS from the image in which the spatially variant motion blur is caused Experiment shows that the proposed algorithm successfully segments the objects with different blurs and identifies the blur extents quite well.

본 논문에서는 아웃라이어 처리를 통한 강인한 HDR 영상 복원 방법을 제시한다. 기존의 방법들은 LDR 영상들에서 흔히 발생하는 긴 노출시간으로 인한 블러 현상이나 저노출/과노출로 인한 포화 픽셀(아웃라이어)을 고려하지 않았다. 본 논문이 제시하는 방법은 MAP(Maximum a priori)을 이용하여 블러 및 아웃라이어를 반영하여 HDR 영상 복원 문제를 정확히 모델링하고, 블러 추정 및 EM(Expectation-Maximization) 알고리즘 기반의 아웃라이어 추정을 통해 품질 저하가 없는 선명한 HDR 영상을 복원한다. 실험 결과를 통해 본 논문이 제시하는 방법이 블러 및 아웃라이어를 포함하는 LDR 영상들로부터 우수한 품질의 HDR 영상을 효과적으로 복원할 수 있음을 보이며, 최근에 개발된 방법들과 비교해서도 더 우수한 품질을 갖는 것을 볼 수 있다.

The uniform motion blur removing algorithm of Cho et al. has the problem that the edge region of the image cannot be restored clearly. We propose the effective algorithm to overcome this problem by using shock filter that reconstructs a blurred step signal into a sharp edge, and convolutional neural network (CNN) that learns by extracting features from the image. Then uniform motion blur kernel is estimated from the latent sharp image to remove blur in the image. The proposed algorithm improved the disadvantages of the conventional algorithm by reconstructing the latent sharp image using shock filter and CNN. Through the experimental results, it was confirmed that the proposed algorithm shows excellent reconstruction performance in objective and subjective image quality than the conventional algorithm.

This study applied the Q methodology to the graduate students of the department of food service management in Seoul to grasp the subjective perception of customers using the big blur phenomenon and the introduction of the kiosk. As a result of the analysis, five types were derived. (N = 6): Fast payment and various order preference types, the second type (N = 6): Earning and discount benefits preference type, the third type (N = 3): Simple order preference type, The fourth type (N = 2): Employee service preference type, and the fifth type (N = 3): Safety payment preference type. In the future, the research on the Big Blur phenomenon of eating out company will be refined through more detailed Q methodological questions with analytical techniques based on extensive literature and empirical studies, and to analyze the various opinions of respondents more concretely and objectively.

This paper proposes a non-uniform de-blur algorithm using IMU sensor and a long/short exposure-time image pair to efficiently remove the blur phenomenon. Conventional blur kernel estimation algorithms using sensor information do not provide acceptable performance due to limitation of sensor performance. In order to overcome such a limitation, we present a kernel refinement step based on images having different exposure times which improves accuracy of the estimated kernel. Also, in order to figure out the phenomenon that conventional non-uniform de-blur algorithms suffer from severe degradation of visual quality in case of large blur kernels, this paper a homography-based residual de-convolution which can minimize quality degradation such as ringing artifacts during de-convolution. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the state-of-the-art methods in terms of subjective as well as objective visual quality.

Digital image blur occurs due to various environmental conditions at the time of shooting. Blur produces the low-frequency component in the image. This problem worsens the quality of the digital image. To address this issue, contrast improvement methods has been widely studied. 2D filter to enhance the edges is a simple structure with a fast processing speed. However, the sensitivity of the human visual system is different depending on the surrounding brightness locally. Thus, in this paper, we proposed feature-based contrast enhancement method for the digital image using 2D filter to enhance the edges and JND(Just Noticeable Difference) according to the surrounding brightness. We confirmed the result image of proposed method and identified that the contrast is improved.

In this paper, we propose a no-reference objective Quality assessment metrics of image. The blockiness and blurring of edge areas which are sensitive to the human visual system are modeled as step functions. Blocking and blur metrics are obtained by estimating local visibility of blockiness and edge width, For the blocking metric, horizontal and vertical blocking lines are first determined by accumulating weighted differences of adjacent pixels and then the local visibility of blockiness at the intersection of blocking lines is obtained from the total difference of amplitudes of the 2-D step function which is modelled as a blocking region. The blurred input image is first re-blurred by a Gaussian blur kernel and an edge mask image is generated. In edge blocks, the local edge width is calculated from four directional projections (horizontal, vertical and two diagonal directions) using local extrema positions. In addition, the kurtosis and SSIM are used to compute the blur metric. The final no-reference objective metric is computed after those values are combined using an appropriate function. Experimental results show that the proposed objective metrics are highly correlated to the subjective data.
