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.

Usually, image deconvolution is applied as a preprocessing step in surveillance systems to reduce the effect of motion or out-of-focus blur problem. In this paper, we propose a blind-image deconvolution filtering approach based on genetic programming (GP). A numerical expression is developed using GP process for image restoration which optimally combines and exploits dependencies among features of the blurred image. In order to develop such function, first, a set of feature vectors is formed by considering a small neighborhood around each pixel. At second stage, the estimator is trained and developed through GP process that automatically selects and combines the useful feature information under a fitness criterion. The developed function is then applied to estimate the image pixel intensity of the degraded image. The performance of developed function is estimated using various degraded image sequences. Our comparative analysis highlights the effectiveness of the proposed filter.

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.

In digital imaging system, Bayer pattern is widely used and the observed image is degraded by optical blur during image acquisition process. Generally, demosaicing and deblurring process are separately performed in order to convert a blurred Bayer image to a high resolution color image. However, the demosaicing process often generates visible artifacts such as zipper effect and Moire artifacts when performing interpolation across edge direction in Bayer pattern image. These artifacts are emphasized by the deblurring process. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a deblurring algorithm combined with edge directional color demosaicing method. The proposed method is consisted of interpolation step and region classification step. Interpolation and deblurring are simultaneously performed according to horizontal and vertical directions, respectively during the interpolation step. In the region classification step, characteristics of local regions are determined at each pixel position and the directionally obtained values are region adaptively fused. Also, the proposed method uses blur model based on wave optics and deblurring filter is calculated by using estimated characteristics of local regions. The simulation results show that the proposed deblurring algorithm prevents the boosting of artifacts and outperforms conventional approaches in both objective and subjective terms.

This paper proposes a video deblurring algorithm which maintains uniform sharpness between frames. Unlike the previous algorithms using fixed parameters, the proposed algorithm keeps uniform sharpness by adjusting parameters for each frame. First, we estimate the initial blur kernel and perform deconvolution, then measure the sharpness of the deblurred image. In order to maintain uniform sharpness, we adjust the regularization parameter and kernel according to the examined sharpness, and perform deconvolution again. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves outstanding deblurring results while providing consistent sharpness.

In this paper, we introduce three modulation codes of the code rate 1/2 with different minimum distances, respectively, and investigate the performance of the codes according to the minimum distance. We simulate the codes in accordance with blur and misalignment. As the minimum distance increases, the complexity of encoder and decoder also grows. However, it can improve the error correcting capability and shows good performance with blur and misalignment.

In the wireless mobile exchange communication system, the proper handling of originating call(OC) and handover call(HC) is important. Specially, when it's viewed from the user side, mobile users feel more weighting soul disappointment with the handover blocking probability moving from current cell to adacent cell than with originating call blocking probability happening new call in current cell. Accordingly,this paper is proposed and analyzed the timeout buffer system and guard channel for decreasing handover blocking probability. In analytic result, The more guard channel increase,t he more originating call blocking probability increase and handover blocking probability decrease. Also, the more timeout duration increase, the more handover blocking probability decrease.
