The subject research attempts to develop a new temporal interpolation scheme for the method of characteristics. The proposed three-point time-line Lagrange interpolation Reachback (3PR) method is a temporal quadratic interpolation scheme using the three grid points near the intersection between a characteristic line and a previous time-line. The accuracy of the 3PR method is compared with those of temporal and spatial interpolation schemes such as Reachback, Upwind, and quandratic spatial interpolation methods for two pure advection problems. The results show that on the aspects of the numerical damping and/or oscillation the temporal interpolation schemes are better than the spatial ones under the same interpolation order conditions. In addition, the spatial ones under the same interpolation order conditions. In addition, the proposed 3PR method improves the accuracy of Reachback method as well as it contains the merits of time-line interpolation schemes.

It is necessary to employ the interpolation technique to resolve problems, which are associated with the characteristic locus in time-distance space, in the unsteady analysis of pipe flow. Various interpolation methods such as linear timeline interpolation, linear spaceline interpolation, wave speed adjustment, cubic spaceline interpolation and cubic timeline interpolation have been suggested and tested to investigate the interpolation error. Performance of various interpolation techniques was evaluated both a single pipeline and a complex one. The range of error was calculated as the courant number varied between 0 and 1 in a single pipeline. Reorganization of computational element and proper selection of interpolation method are found to be prerequisites for the effective computation of unsteady analysis.

Motion-compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) techniques in video signal processing have many application areas. Frame rate up-conversion (FRUC) or distributed video coding (DVC) technique needs an effective MCFI algorithm. For these applications, it is necessary to develop an effective post-processing technique to improve visual qualities or to reduce virtual channel noises, resulting in the reduced channel bit rate. This paper proposes a reliability evaluation method based on spatio-temporal characteristics for motion-compensated interpolated blocks. The proposed algorithm investigates the temporal matching characteristics for current frame and then is designed in such a way that it can measure temporal characteristics as well as the spatial ones. Through computer simulations, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms the conventional temporal matching method.

As higher quality of image is required for digital image scaling, longer processing time is required. Therefore the technology that can make higher quality image quickly is needed. We propose the double linear-cubic convolution interpolation which creates the high quality image with low complexity and hardware resources. The proposed interpolation methods which are made up of four one-dimensional linear interpolations and one one-dimensional cubic convolution perform linear-cubic convolution interpolation in horizontal and vertical direction. When compared in aspects of peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR), performance time and amount of hardware resources, the proposed interpolation provided better PSNR, low complexity and less hardware resources than bicubic convolution interpolation.

In this paper, we propose an efficient deinterlacing algorithm which interpolates the missing scan lines by weighted summing of the intra and the inter interpolation pixels according to the spatio-temporal variation. In the spatial interpolation, we adopt a new edge based spatial interpolation method which includes edge directional refinement. The conventional edge dependent interpolation algorithms are very sensitive to noise due to the failure of estimating edge direction. In order to exactly detect edge direction, our method first finds the edge directions around the pixel to be interpolated and then refines edge direction of the pixel using weighted maximun frequent filter. Futhermore, we improve the accuracy of motion detection by reducing the possibility of motion detection error using 3 tab median filter. In the final interpolation step, we adopt weighted sum of intra and inter interpolation pixels according to spatio-temporal variation ratio, thereby improving the quality in slow moving area. Simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed method with significant improvement over the previous methods in terms of the objective PSNR quality as well as the subjective image quality.

In wireless sensor network, to provide the proper responses quickly for diverse events, wireless sensor nodes have to cooperate with each other. For successful cooperation, the time synchronization among sensor nodes is an important requirement for application execution. In the wireless sensor network, the message packets including time information are used for the time synchronization. However, the transmission of many message packets will exhaust the battery of wireless sensor nodes. Since wireless sensor nodes works on the limited battery capacity, the excessive transmission of message packets has an negative impact upon their lifetime. In this paper, the Reference Interpolation Protocol (RIP) is proposed to reduce the number of message packets for the time synchronization. The proposed method performs the time interpolation between the reference packet's time and the global time of the base station. The proposed method completes the synchronization operation with only 2 message packets when compared to the previous Reference Broadcast Synchronization (RBS) technique. Due to the simple synchronization procedure, our method greatly reduces the number of synchronization messages and showed the 12.7 times less power consumption than the RBS method. From the decrease in the transmission of message packets, the convergence time among wireless sensor nodes is shortened and the lifetime of wireless sensor nodes is also prolonged as much as the amount of saved battery energy.

Using a series of medical tomograms, we can reconstruct internal organs or other objects of interest and generate 3-D images. It is generally accepted that the axial resolution determined by two sequential image slices is lower than the planar resolution in one image slices. Therefore, various methods of interpolation were developed for an accurate display of reconstructed images. In this paper, a new algorithm for 3-D reconstruction of the medical images such as MRI and X-ray CT is suggested. The algorithm is shape-based and utilizes parts of the gray-level information. We extend the conventional shape-based interpolation of the binary images to the gray-scale images using the shortest distance map. Using this new algorithm, We could reduce the execution time for interpolation while keeping similar high quality of the reconstructed images with reduced execution time and is applicable to the various medical tomograms.

본 논문에서는 계층구조 합성곱 신경망 기반의 고해상도 동영상 프레임 고속 보간 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 고해상도 동영상 프레임 보간 방법은 시간 해상도와 공간 해상도를 분리하여 보간 하기 때문에, 예측된 보간 프레임이 블러(blur) 열화를 갖는 문제를 보인다. 제안하는 방법에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 계층구조 합성곱 신경망 기반의 보간 방법을 이용한다. 제안하는 계층구조 합성곱 신경망은 우선 저해상도의 광학 흐름 추정지도를 생성하고 이를 고해상도로 복원하여 프레임 보간을 수행한다. 이때, 저해상도 광학 흐름 지도를 추정할 때 사용된 특징 정보들을 활용하여 고품질의 고해상도 광학 흐름 지도를 추정한다. 실험을 통하여 제안하는 방법이 고해상도 프레임을 고속으로 보간하며, 동시에 블러 열화에 대한 성능 향상을 가짐을 보였다.

지구온난화의 영향으로 기상이변으로 인한 피해가 증가하여 이를 예방하기 위해 풍수해 피해 예측의 필요성이 증가하였다. 이에 따라 관련 기관 및 지자체별로 각자 다른 필요성과 목적에 ?라 다양한 형태의 풍수해 관련 피해예상도가 작성되어 왔다. 풍수해 피해예상도 작성을 위해서는 시간적, 경제적 비용이 많이 소모되며, 일반적으로 정해진 빈도에 의해서만 작성되기 때문에 다양한 빈도의 작성은 불가능하다. 본 연구에서는 빈도별 홍수량과 빈도별 피해예상도를 활용하여 피해예상도를 작성하기 위해 보간기법을 마련하여 적용하고자 한다. 풍수해 피해예상도는 과거의 침수흔적과 홍수범람해석을 통하여 침수가 예상되는 지역을 미리예측한 지도로 방재대책 수립 및 재해정보지도 작성을 위한 기본 자료로 활용하는데 목적이 있다. 데이터의 보간은 불연속적으로 주어진 데이터 점들을 이용하여 그 점들 사이의 값을 추정하는 방법의 한 종류로 활용하는 데이터에 따라 보간기법이 달라진다. 보간법은 선형보간, 라그랑제 다항식 보간, 네빌레의 반복 보간, 뉴튼 다항식에 의한 보간법 등이 존재한다. 각 보간법의 내용과 특성, 활용법을 분석 비교하여 피해예상도 보간기법 모듈에 적용할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 빈도별 홍수량과 빈도별 피해예상도를 활용하여 보간 기법을 적용하기 매우 제한적이며 여러 보법 중 특성을 파악했을 때 선형보간법이 가장 적합한 방법이라 판단된다. 또한, 선형보간을 위한 변수로 확률빈도보다는 홍수량 자료를 사용하는 것이 정확도를 더 향상시킬 수 있으며 침수흔적도와 DEM을 사용하여 침수용량을 파악하고 피해예상도를 선형보간하여 작성한다. 침수용량을 파악하여 선형보간하여 침수용량에 대한 임의의 홍수량을 산정하고 이를 바탕으로 피해예상도를 홍수량과 침수용량에 대한 관계를 정리하였으며 피해예상도를 선형보간하여 작성할 수 있다. 선형보간하여 작성된 피해예상도는 빈도별 강우와 실시간 지속 강우를 기반으로 해당 지역에 대한 침수 피해 예상에 활용 할 수 있다.
