When we wish to estimate the mean or total of a finite population, the numbering of the population units is of importance. In this paper, we have proposed two methods for estimating the mean or total of a population having a linear trend, for the case when the reciprocal of the sampling fraction is an even number and the sample size is an odd number. The first method involves drawing a sample by using a method which is a generalization of Singh et al's (1968) modified systematic sampling, and using interpolation in determining the estimator. The second method involves selecting a sample by modified systematic sampling, and estimating the population parameters by the regression estimation method. Under the criterion of the expected mean square error based on Cochran's (1946) infinite superpopulation model, the proposed methods have been compared with existing methods. We have also made a comparison between the two proposed methods.

In predictive image coding, a LS (Least Squares)-based adaptive predictor is an efficient method to improve image edge predictions. This paper proposes a hybrid interpolation with weighted edge detector. A hybrid approach of switching between bilinear interpolation and EDI (Edge-Directed Interpolation) is proposed in order to reduce the overall computational complexity The objective and subjective quality is also similar to the bilinear interpolation and EDI. Experimental results demonstrate that this hybrid interpolation method that utilizes a weighted edge detector can achieve reduction in complexity with minimal degradation in the interpolation results.

In this paper, we propose a method to upsample a low-resolution depth map to a high-resolution version. While conventional camera sensors produce high-resolution color images, the sizes of the depth maps of range/depth sensors are usually low. In this paper, we consider the utilization of high-frequency components to the conventional depth map interpolation methods such as bilinear, bicubic, and bilateral. The proposed method is composed of the three steps: high-frequency component extraction, high-frequency component application, and interpolation. Two objective evaluation measures such as sharpness degree and blur metric are used to examine the performance. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly outperforms other conventional methods by a factor of 2 in terms of sharpness degree. As well, a blur metric is reduced by a factor of 14 %.

To analyze the performance of array shape estimation techniques using auxiliary sensors, the appropriate number and the positions of auxiliary sensors are investigated. Also, a post-processing technique based on spline interpolation is proposed to improve the performance of array shape estimation. The simulation results showed that when auxiliary sensors are arranged uniformly, the performance of shape estimation is better than other arrangements of auxiliary sensors. Also, the proposed post-processing technique improved the performance of the existing shape estimation method, such as Kalman filter method.

This paper discusses a method to efficiently remove the keystone distortion in images. The keystone distortion which generated during 2D image aquisition to realize 3D stereoscopic images is removed by the bilinear interpolation method. Usually, the keystone distortion in 2D images can remove by the optical equipment but the image processing is more effective than the optical equipment in consideration of efficiency or simplicity of the works. This method can be realized 3D stereoscopic image without the distortion.

도시의 방범 대책의 일환으로 거리감시 카메라의 설치가 진행되고 있다. 이때 가능하면 넓은 범위를 포함하고, 사각을 없애기 위해 다수의 카메라가 필요하기 때문에 기기 도입에 많은 비용이 발생하게 된다. 또한 카메라에 모터를 장착하여, 상하 좌우로 움직이는 기계적인 장치를 추가하여, 기기의 대수를 줄이는 경우에도 많은 유지 보수비용이 필요하다. 그러나 360도를 관찰할 수 있는 어안렌즈 카메라를 이용하면 다수의 카메라 대신 한 대의 카메라로 대응할 수 있어 유지보수 비용을 절약할 수 있다. 그러나 어안 렌즈를 이용할 경우에는 영상이 굴절되어 보이기 때문에 감시 카메라용 렌즈로써는 부적합하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 굴곡 되어 있는 영상의 개선을 위하여 Forward Warping을 이용하여 파노라마 영상으로 변환하고 파노라마 영상으로 변환 중에 손실되는 영상 정보를 복원하기 위하여 양선형 보간법을 적용하여 개선된 파노라마 영상을 얻을 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 어안 렌즈 영상 재구성 방법의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 다양한 어안 렌즈 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 기존의 방법보다 영상을 재구성하는데 효과적인 것을 확인하였다.

Deinterlacing methods are usually divided into inter-field deinterlacing and intra-field deinterlacing. The most common method of intra-field deinterlacing is the linear method which uses line doubling or line averaging. There are also some edge-enhancement methods such as ELA(Edge Based Line Average) and modified ELA. However, the linear interpolation generates edge blurring or staircase artifacts. The methods using ELA or modified ELA show poor deinterlacing at various types of edges because of insufficient edge information in a certain direction. This paper presents an intra-field deinterlacing algorithm that considers the interpolation based on edges in 7 directions and an edge line in the horizontal direction. It demonstrates better picture quality by reducing the staircase phenomenon of object in the conventional methods.

In this paper, we presents an algorithm which generates its high-resolution DTM using a low-resolution DTM of the sea floor terrain and fractal theory. The fractal dimension of each patch region divided from the DTM is extracted and then with this information and original data, each cell region in the patch is interpolated using the midpoint displacement method and a median filter is incorporated to generate natural and smooth sea floor surface. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is tested on a fractal terrain map.

In this paper, we propose a hardware design for correction of barrel distortion using the nearest coordinates in the corrected image. Because it applies the nearest distance on corrected image rather than adjacent distance on distorted image, the picture quality is improved by the image whole area, solve the staircase phenomenon in the exterior area. But, because of additional arithmetic operation using design of bilinear interpolation, required arithmetic operation is increased. Look up table(LUT) structure is proposed in order to solve this, coordinate rotation digital computer(CORDIC) algorithm is applied. The results of the synthesis using Design compiler, the design of implementing all processes of the interpolation method with the hardware is higher than the previous design about the throughput, In case of the rear camera, the design of using LUT and hardware together can reduce the size than the design of implementing all processes with the hardware.
