In this study, we have proposed a sampling method and an estimation method for efficiently estimating the mean of a population which has a linear trend. These methods involve drawing a sample by the so-called "centered balanced systematic sampling", which is an extension of systematic sampling, and then estimating the population mean with an adjusted estimator, not with the sample mean itself. We used the concept of interpolation in determining the adjusted estimator.\Ve compared the efficiency of the proposed estimator with those of the estimators from existing methods, under the expected mean square error criterion based on the infinite superpopulation model introduced by Cochran(1946). The proposed method is for use in the case when the sample size n(2 5) is an odd number and k(the reciprocal of the sampling fraction) is an even number. A good result was also obtained in an example using computer simulation. simulation.

This study was analyzed obesity status by divided into six classification based on the body mass index(BMI) established by World Health Organization-Western Pacific Regional Office(WHO-WPRO) through National Health Insurance Service(NHIS). In the middle of process, problems of outlier solved by presenting the median repeated interpolation. Unlike linear and Lagrange interpolation, median repeated interpolation may be useful in multiple outlier contained dataset. As a result, we found that extreme low and obesity weight gradually increased and the frequency of normal body weight gradually decreased. Especially, the increase of obesity in men and women of lower age group is increasing. Overall, this study suggests that national measures need to be taken before health problems arising from obesity can spread to other social problems.

In this paper, we propose a frame-rate up-conversion method for temporal quality enhancement. The proposed method adaptively changes search range during hierarchical motion estimation and reconstructs hole regions using the proposed bi-direction prediction and linear interpolation. In order to alleviate errors due to inaccurate motion vector estimation, search range is adaptively changed based on reliability and for more accurate, motion estimation is performed in descending order of block variance. After segmentation of background and object regions, for filling hole regions, the pixel values of background regions are reconstructed using linear interpolation and those of object regions are compensated based on the proposed hi-directional prediction. The proposed algorithm is evaluated in terms of PSNR with original uncompressed sequences. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is better than conventional methods by around 2dB, and blocky artifacts and blur artifacts are significantly diminished.

This paper presents a novel scratch detection and removal approach for old film images in wavelet-domain. Various scratch detection and removal algorithms have been proposed for past decades. However, accurate scratch detection and removal with a moderate amount of computing effort is still a problem because of trade off between the quality of the film and computational load. For overcoming this problem, we first decompose an input image using a 3-level wavelet transform, and then remove the scratch by shrinking wavelet coefficients using linear interpolation. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can efficiently detect and remove the scratch in damaged films, and also be incorporated into old film restoration systems.

Moving objects are spatiotemporal data that change their location or shape continuously over time. Their location coordinates are periodically measured and stored i3l the application systems. The linear function is mainly used to estimate the location information that is not in the system at the query time point. However, a new method is needed to improve uncertainties of the location representation, because the location estimation by linear function induces the estimation error. This paper proposes an application method of the cubic spline interpolation in order to reduce deviation of the location estimation by linear function. First, we define location information of the moving object on the two-dimensional space. Next, we apply the cubic spline interpolation to location estimation of the proposed data model and describe algorithm of the estimation operation. Finally, the precision of this estimation operation model is experimented. The experimentation comes out more accurate results than the method by linear function.

An image interpolation is a basis technique for various image processing and is required to minimize approaches for image quality deterioration. In this paper, we propose an improved bilinear interpolation using loss information estimation. In the proposed algorithm, we estimate loss information of low resolution image using down-sampling and interpolation of acquisition low resolution. The estimated loss information is utilized interpolated image, and it decrease image quality deterioration. Our experiments obtained the average PSNR 0.97~1.79dB which is improved results better than conventional method for sensitive image quality. Also, subjective image quality with edge region is more clearness. The proposed method may be helpful for applications in various multimedia systems such as image resolution enhancement and image restoration.

최근 CCTV 출입 기록, 휴대폰 보안, 스마트 매장 등에서 얼굴 인식을 통해 개인을 식별하는 기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 카메라의 각도, 조명, 사람의 움직임 등 얼굴 인식에 많은 외부 환경이 영향을 미치고 있지만 그중에서도 실제 영상에서 얼굴이 차지하는 영역이 작아 저해상도 얼굴 인식에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 이미지 해상도가 얼굴 인식에 끼치는 영향을 알아보고 이미지 초해상화를 통해 얼굴 인식 성능을 개선하고자 한다. 쌍선형, 양3차 회선 보간법과 딥러닝 기반의 이미지 초해상화 모델인 RCAN을 이용하여 업스케일링한 데이터셋에 대해 학습한 ArcFace를 통해 얼굴 검증 평가를 진행하였다. 고해상도 이미지는 얼굴 인식 성능을 향상시키며, RCAN을 사용한 이미지 초해상화가 보간법을 사용한 방법보다 더 좋은 성능을 보였다.

The objective of this paper is to propose the image interpolation method with pseudomedian filter for Field warping and morphing, and to evaluate and analyze its subjective image quality. The Field warping relatively gives rise to more computing overhead, but it can use the control line to control the warping result with more elaboration. Due to the working characteristics of the image warping and morphing process, various complex geometrical transformations occur and a image interpolation technique is needed to effectively process them. Of the various interpolation techniques, bilinear interpolation which shows above average performance is the most widely used. However, this technology has its limits in the reconstructivity of diagonal edges. The proposed interpolation method is to efficiently combine the bilinear interpolation and the pseudomedian filter-based interpolation which shows good performance in the reconstructivity of diagonal edges. According to the proposed interpolation method, we could get more natural warping and morphing results than other interpolation methods.

본 논문에서는 비선형 확장 칼만 필터(Nonlinear Extended Kalman Filter)를 이용한 강인한 스테레오 정합 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 스테레오 정합 알고리즘은 변이를 구할 때 좌, 우 영상을 화소별로 비교하여 검색영역을 모두 검색하였으나 제안된 알고리즘은 비선형 확장 칼만 필터를 통해 변이를 예측하고, 예측된 변이에 대한 좌, 우 영상값을 비교하는 과정을 반복적으로 수행함으로써 단지 몇 번의 검색을 통해 변이를 구하게 된다. 그리고, 양선형 보간법(bilinear interpolation)을 이용해 주위 화소들의 영향을 고려하여 예측된 변이에 대한 좌, 우 영상값을 비교함으로써 강인한 스테레오 정합의 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘을 수행한 결과 본 알고리즘이 우수한 정합 성능을 가짐을 알 수 있었다.

This paper presents an adaptive image interpolation algorithm using local characteristics. An input image is classified into edge region and flat low frequency region. And then, the edge region is further partitioned into directive edge region and high frequency texture region. A bilinear interpolation is applied to flat low frequency region, cubic convolution is applied to texture region, and new edge directed interpolation to directive edge region, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing interpolation methods in terms of visual quality as well as PSNR.
