In underwater, such as fish farm and sea, turbidity is increased by water droplets and various suspended, therefore light attenuation occurs depending on the depth also caused by the scattering effect of light float. In this paper, in order to improve the visibility of underwater images obtained from these aquatic environment, we propose a visibility enhancement method using a haze removal method based on dark channel prior and a trained color transform model. In order to train a color transform model, we used underwater pattern images captured from Pohang and Yeosu, and to measure the performance of the proposed method, we carried out experiment of visibility enhancement using underwater images collected from Yeosu, Geomundo and Philippines. The results show that the proposed method can improve the visibility of underwater images of various locations.

Color segmentation is one of the most challenging problems in image processing especially in case of handling the images with cluttered background. Great amount of color segmentation methods have been developed and applied to real problems. In this paper, we suggest a new methodology. Our approach is focused on background extraction, as a complimentary operation to standard foreground object segmentation, using self-organizing feature selective property of unsupervised self-learning paradigm based on the competitive algorithm. The results of our studies show that background segmentation can be achievable in efficient manner.

Natural synthesis of real and virtual images is a key technology in mixed reality. For this purpose, we propose an efficient dense disparity estimation algorithm and a synthesis algorithm considering features of stereo images. Dense disparities are estimated hierarchically from the low to high resolution images. In the process, the region-dividing-bidirectional-matching algorithm makes matching process efficient and keeps the reliability of the estimated disparities, and dense disparities are assigned considering edge information. finally, mixed reality stereo images are synthesized by comparing depth data of real and virtual Images. Computer simulation shows that the proposed algorithms estimate very stable disparity vectors with sharp edge and synthesize natural stereo mixed reality images.

Digital Elevation Model, Ortho-image, and 3-D positional data of terrain features are indispensable elements for producing 3-D image information. In this research, digital pbotogrammetric studies were conducted to measure the 3-D positional data on high performance computer systems in order to replace analytical stereo-plotter-oriented tasks with those of digital workstations. Especially, technical approaches to measure these data on stereo workstation were developed and then the results were applied on SPOT satellite images. As the result of this study, the possibilities of the proposed technologies were tested and proved based on the ap-plication of the digital photogrammetric processes to extract 3-D ground coordinates of terrain features from digital satellite imagery.

현재 시판되고 있는 대다수의 자동차에 장착된 사이드미러와 백미러 같은 기존의 비젼 시스템은 모두 사각지대(blind spot)를 가지고 있다. 사각지대는 크고 작은 사고의 원인이 되기도 한다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 자동차 기업들은 자사의 고급 자동차 후방에 광각(wide-angle) 카메라를 장착하고 있다. 광각 카메라 시스템은 1대의 카메라를 사용하여 후방 영상을 얻고 그것을 그대로 보여줌으로서 어느 정도 사각지대를 줄여주는 역할을 하고 있지만 후방의 모든 사각지대를 제거해주지는 못한다. 그러므로 다수의 카메라를 사용하면 보다 넓은 후방 시야를 확보함으로서 보다 완벽하게 사각지대를 제거할 뿐만 아니라, 좀 더 다양한 위험물 정보를 주행 중에도 운전자에게 제공하는 것이 가능해진다. 본 논문에서는 사각지대를 제거하기 위해 차량의 좌, 우측 그리고 후방에 3대의 카메라를 장착하고, 장착된 카메라를 통해 얻어진 영상을 통합한 파노라마 영상을 생성하는 방법과 다양한 환경에서 실험한 결과를 제시한다. 파노라마 영상을 생성하기 위해서 제안하는 방법은 3D 와핑을 통해 각 영상의 Bird's Eye View를 생성하고, 생성된 Bird's Eye View를 2차원 이동변환만을 이용해서 하나의 통합된 Bird's Eye View를 만든다. 이렇게 만들어진 통합된 영상을 후방 카메라를 기준으로 다시 3D 와핑 함으로서 완전한 파노라마 영상을 생성한다. 제시된 방법으로 다양한 상황에 따라 실험을 수행하고, 이를 통해 문제점을 찾아본다.

In this paper, "a wireless camera image transmission system" is aimed for the free camera shooting in the indoor and outdoor environments. Currently in broadcasting program production environments, because the cable connections between TV OB VAN(outside broadcasting VAN) and EFP camera or ENG camera have many obstacles and limits of distances, it is very unconvienent for the free camera shooting. Therefore in this paper, wireless image transmission device and receiving device in DVB-T broadcasting are developed. In this paper, analog composite image signal output camera, image signal compression MPEG-2 system and COFDM mage transmission system are produced and experimented. The results for the image and transmission system had good QoS values and from this results, it is possible to apply TV program productions and wireless CCTV device industries.

An adaptive optimization of parametric cubic convolution for image interpolation is derived in this paper. The proposed technique is based on optimizing the standard cubic convolution interpolation formula at each interpolated pixel. Conventional parametric cubic convolution methods use a fixed parameter in an image, so properties of each pixel cannot be incorporated into the interpolation. The proposed method optimizes the interpolation kernel by obtaining parameters adaptively on each pixel. A new cost function is introduced to reflect frequency properties of the original data. The proposed technique produces noticeably sharper edges than traditional techniques and exhibits an average PSNR improvement of traditional techniques.

In this Paper, we propose a method of content-based image classification using neural network. The images for classification ate object images that can be divided into foreground and background. To deal with the object images efficiently, object region is extracted with a region segmentation technique in the preprocessing step. Features for the classification are texture and shape features extracted from wavelet transformed image. The neural network classifier is constructed with the extracted features and the back-propagation learning algorithm. Among the various texture features, the diagonal moment was more effective. A test with 300 training data and 300 test data composed of 10 images from each of 30 classes shows correct classification rates of 72.3% and 67%, respectively.

Recently, 3D integral imaging system, which is well known as an auto-stereoscopic 3D display method, has been gaining great attention amongst researchers. The integral imaging is a promising 3D display technology since it is able to deliver continuous viewing points, full parallax, and full color view to the observers in space. In this paper, we propose a novel interactive 3D integral imaging system using a single camera. The user interface is implemented by adding a camera in the conventional integral imaging system. To show the possibility of the proposed system, we implement the optical setup and present the preliminary results. To our best knowledge, this is the first time to study an interactive 3D integral imaging.

본 논문에서 제안하는 방법은 영상에서 중심 객체를 추출하기 위해 에지와 색상 정보에서 추출한 특집 지도와 배경의 영향을 줄이기 위친 창조 지도(reference map)를 제안한 것이 특징이다. 특징 지도는 다른 영역과 현저하게 구분되는 영역을 검출하기 위해서 영상의 특징 값(feature)들을 이용해서 구성한 영상이라고 할 수 있다. 그리고 창조 지도는 배경의 영향을 최소화하면서, 객체가 존재할 확률이 높은 부분을 나타내는 지도이다. 제안하는 방법은 밝기 차 정보를 가지고 있는 에지와 YCbCr 컬러모델과 HSV 컬러모델의 색상 성분을 특징 값으로 사용한다. 이들 특징 값을 이용해서 특징 지도를 구성하는 방법으로 영상 내 색상 차에 의해서 나타나는 경계부분을 구하는 방법을 사용한다. 이 방법을 사용하여 에지 지도와 두 개의 색상 지도의 3가지 특징 지도를 생성한다. 다음으로, 영상 배경의 영향을 줄이기 위해 참조 지도를 구한다. 구해진 참조 지도와 특징 지도들을 이용해서 결합 지도(combination map)를 생성한다. 결함 지도로부터 다각형의 객체 후보 영역을 구하고, 객체 후보 영역에 영상분할을 적용하여 중심 객체를 추출한다. 실험에 사용된 영상들은 Corel DB를 사용하였으며, 실험결과로써 precision은 84.3%, recall은 81.3%의 성능을 보인다.
