본 논문에서는 인간의 시각적 특성을 고려한 새로운 변환 영역 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서는 워터마크로 사용될 랜덤 신호를 변환 블록의 중간 주파수 영역 변환계수로 설정한 후 이를 역변환한다. 그리고 역변환된 워터마크 영상에서 시각적으로 인지하치 쉬운 영역에 위치한 워터마크 신호를 삭제한 후 다시 순방향 변환하여 중간 주파수 영역의 훼손된 워터마크를 초기의 워터마크로 복원한다. 이러한 과정을 반복적으로 실행한 후 최종적으로 생성된 변환 영역 워터마크를 입력 영상의 변환 계수에 대해 삽입한다. 따라서 워터마킹된 영상에서 워터마크의 삽입으로 인한 시각적 왜곡은 감소될 수 있다. 모의 실험은 제안된 방법으로 형성된 워터마킹된 영상이 시각적으로 우수하며 손실 부호화, 필터링 등의 다양한 영상처리에 대해 견고함을 나타낸다.

3D 그래픽스 환경에서 입체적인 물체가 2D 모니터에 보여지는 과정에는 여러 단계의 공간 변환과 행렬 계산을 거치게 된다. 이러한 공간 변환은 각 단계가 어떤 의미인지 쉽게 이해하기에 어려운 면이 있다. 본 논문에서는 유니티 3D 엔진에서 작동하는 셰이더를 통해 각 단계의 공간을 시각화 하여 학생들이 보다 쉽게 공간 변환을 이해하는 시각화 방법을 제시한다.

Image denoising as one of image enhancement methods has been studied a lot in the spatial and transform domain filtering. Recently wavelet transform which has an excellent energy compaction and a property of multiresolution has widely used for image denoising. But a transform based on human visual system is visually useful if an end user is human beings. Therefore, Gabor cosine and sine transform which is considered as human visual filter is applied to image denoising areas in this paper. Denoising performance of the proposed transform is compared with those of the derivatives of Gaussian transform being another human visual filter and of discrete wavelet transform in terms of PSNR. With three levels of various noises, experimental results for real images show that the proposed transform has better PSNR performance of 0.41dB than DWT and 0.14dB than DGT.

In this paper, we propose visual Impairment descriptions for MPEG-21 digital item adaptation. The proposed visual impairment descriptions include low vision impairment and color vision deficiency. It is symptom-based description so that the description is systematic enough to sufficiently describe user's any kind of visual impairment characteristics and easy enough to describe for any user with visual impairment. In this paper, we performed some experiments with the proposed description in MPEG-21 digital item adaptation. The experiments showed that the proposed description Is effective to adapt visual resources In digital item for users with visual impairment and to give enhanced visual accessibility to them.

Various models incorporating Human Visual System (HVS) with the Hadamard transform (HT) represented by Walsh functions are considered. Using the exact frequency components of HT basis functions, the optimum modulation transfer function (MTF) which has a higher peak frequency than DCT schemes is obtimum modulation transfer function (MTF) which has a higher peak frequency than DCT schemes is obtained analytically and visually. The main criterion, for error measurement, is errors at the block boundaries which is an important factor in transform coding. The scheme which has no inverse HVS is proposed. It causes some degradation of image data but it is insignigicant. Crossing area of 4 blocks is equalized by the HVS weighting coefficients. The HVS weighted coding results in perceptually higher quality images compared with the unweighted scheme.

In this paper, we propose the method for automatically transfers images into tactile maps information based on cognition characteristics of visually impaired persons to more easily provide various image information for visually impaired persons. The proposed method automatically classify color images into row complexity and high complexity based on intensity information and transfer images into tactile map information using each different transformation process. Experimental evaluation, We performed with visually impaired five persons experiments for evaluating the recognition and satisfaction that tactile maps of the proposed automatic transforming method and the manually generated tactile maps of braille textbooks. Experimental results, the recognition and satisfaction that the tactile maps of the proposed method generated are very similar to those of the tactile maps of braille textbooks. Therefore, it could hugely be reduced the time and money of production education materials, and it could greatly improved educative results because it can add more easily that many image data of education materials.

As times develop, information becomes more diverse and methods of obtaining it become more diverse. About 80% of the amount of information gained in life is acquired through the visual sense. However, visually impaired people have limited ability to interpret visual materials. That's why Braille, a text for the blind, appeared. However, the Braille decoding rate of the blind is only 5%, and as the demand of the blind who want various forms of platforms or materials increases over time, development and product production for the blind are taking place. An example of product production is braille books, which seem to have more disadvantages than advantages, and unlike non-disabled people, it is true that access to information is still very difficult. In this paper, we designed a CNN-based Braille conversion and voice output device to make it easier for visually impaired people to obtain information than conventional methods. The device aims to improve the quality of life by allowing books, text images, or handwritten images that are not made in Braille to be converted into Braille through camera recognition, and designing a function that can be converted into voice according to the needs of the blind.

Noise removal methods for noisy images have been studied a lot in the domain of spatial and transform filtering. Low pass filtering was initially applied in the spatial domain. Recently, discrete wavelet transform has widely used for image denoising as well as image compression due to an excellent energy compaction and a property of multiresolution. In this paper, Gabor cosine and sine transform which is considered as human visual filter is applied to image denoising areas using soft thresholding technique. GCST is compared with excellent wavelet transform which uses existing soft thresholding methods from PSNR point of view. Resultant images removed noises are also visually compared. Experimental results with adding four different standard deviation levels of Gaussian distributed noises to real images show that the proposed transform has better PSNR performance of a maximum of 1.18 dB and visible perception than wavelet transform.
