The CNN (convolutional neural network) based single degradation restoration method shows outstanding performance yet is tailored on solving a specific degradation type. In this paper, we present an algorithm of multi-degradation classification and restoration. We utilize the CNN based algorithm for solving image degradation classification problem using pre-trained Inception-v3 network. In addition, we use the existing CNN based algorithms for solving particular image degradation problems. We identity the restoration order of multi-degraded images empirically and compare with the non-reference image quality assessment score based on CNN. We use the restoration order to implement the algorithm. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can solve multi-degradation problem.

현재 보안 시스템으로 가장 많이 쓰이고 있는 것 중에 하나가 여러 지역의 카메라로부터 영상 신호를 받아서 하나의 모니터에 여러 영상을 분할 해서 보여주는 시스템이다. 이 시스템의 기능 중에서 가장 중요한 것은 각 지역의 영상을 실시간으로 처리해줄 수 있어야 하는데, 이를 위해서는 영상 데이터를 놓치지 않고 모두 메모리에 저장할 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 4개의 영상을 하나의 화면으로 4분할 하여 출력하기 위한 시스템을 FPGA를 사용하여 구현했다. 일반적으로 화면 분할하는 시스템은 흑백의 영상만을 출력하는데, 컬러 영상 신호인 RGB 5:6:5모드의 데이터를 사용하여 컬러 영상을 그대로 화면 분할하여 출력하는 시스템을 구성했다. 또한, 화면을 나누기 위한 PIP(Picture In Picture) 등의 전용칩은 분할 화면의 수가 늘어날수록 그 시스템의 크기가 커지므로 순수하게 FPGA를 이용하여 로직을 설계해서 직접 필드 메모리 (FIFO)를 콘트롤 하도록 설계했다. 동기화 되어 있지 않은 메모리에 저장한 각 영상 데이터를 하나의 영상화면에 동기화시키기 위한 방법으로 일정한 타이밍마다 각 영상 데이터를 선택하는 선택 알고리즘(Choice Algorithm)을 제시하여 적용하였다. 선택 알고리즘에 따라서 동기화 되어 있지 않은 메모리에 저장한 각 영상 데이터를 하나의 영상화면에 동기화 시키기위한 방법을 로직으로 구현하여 적용한 시스템을 만들어서 직접 실험 및 테스트를 실행하였다. 로직을 구현하기 위해 사용한 FPGA(Xilinx 5200 Series)는 XC5210-5이고, 비디오 데이터를 저장하기 위한 필드 메모리(FIFO)는 μPD42280-30를 사용하였는데, 좀더 여유 있는 데이터 저장을 통해 선명한 화질을 얻기 위해서는 FPGA와 메모리를 더 빠른 타입으로 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 내용 전개를 살펴보면 제 1절에서 본 시스템의 필요성 및 개발 동기, 개발 배경등에 대해서 간단히 설명하고 제 2절에서는 전체 시스템의 구조에 대해서 설명하고 제 3절에서는 본 시스템의 구조 중에서 가장 중요한 메모리 컨트롤에 대해서 간단히 설명하고, 제 4절에서는 시스템을 구현시켜 실험 및 결과에 대해서 분석한다. 마직막으로 결론 및 향후 계획에 대해서 기술한다.

Drones are increasingly being used to investigate disaster damage because they can quickly capture images in the air. It is necessary to extract the damaged area by registering the drones and the existing ortho-images in order to investigate the disaster damage. In this process, we might be faced the problem of registering two images with different time and spatial resolution. In order to solve this problem, we propose a new methodology that performs initial image transformation using line pairs extracted from images and association matrix, and final registration of images using linear features to refine the initial transformed result. The applicability of the newly proposed methodology in this study was evaluated through experiments using artifacts and the natural terrain areas. Experimental results showed that the root mean square error of artifacts and the natural terrain was 1.29 pixels and 4.12 pixels, respectively, and relatively high accuracy was obtained in the region with artifacts extracted a lot of linear information.

This study presents a method to segment an image, employing the statistics observed at each pixel location across sequential frame images. In the acquisition and analysis of spatial information, utilization of digital image processing technique has very important implications. Various image segmentation techniques have been presented to distinguish the area of digital images. In this study, based on the analysis of the spectroscopic characteristics of sequential frame images that had been previously researched, an image segmentation method was proposed by using the randomness occurring among a sequence of frame images for a same scene. First of all, we computed the mean and standard deviation values at each pixel and found reliable pixels to determine seed points using their standard deviation value. For segmenting an image into individual regions, we conducted region growing based on a T-test between reference and candidate sample sets. A comparative analysis was conducted to assure the performance of the proposed method with reference to a previous method. From a set of experimental results, it is confirmed that the proposed method using a sequence of frame images segments a scene better than a method using a single frame image.

In this paper, we implemented a dual-resolution image database system for the fast naked-eye retrieval using interpolation. This system can solve two conventional problems : a blocking noise at zoom-out image in single high resolution method and a big storage to store in simple dual-resolution image database system. The proposed method makes a subsampled image by subsampling a original image, and then a interpolated image of it using interpolation. After that, a hybrid dual-resolution image database is composed based on the differential image between the interpolated image and the original image. Experimental results of simulating through 60 sample images shows that the proposed method is 0.011 second faster than simple high-resolution method in the retrieval time - one is 0.003 second, the other is 0.014 second, respectively. Also, that improves 14.7% more than simple dual-resolution method in the stored size - one is 19,821 byte, the other is 16,910 byte, respectively.

In this letter, we propose a noise reduction method for use in magnetic resonance images that is based on non-local mean and guided image filters. Our method consists of two phases. In the first phase, the guidance image is obtained from a noisy image by using an adaptive non-local mean filter. The spread of the kernel is adaptively by controlled by implementing the concept of edgeness. In the second phase, the noisy images and the guidance images are provided to the guided image filter as input in order to produce a noise-free image. The improved performance of the proposed method is investigated by conducting experiments on standard datasets that contain magnetic resonance images. The results show that the proposed scheme is superior over the existing approaches.

High-resolution satellite images have high potential to acquire geospatial information over inaccessible areas such as Antarctica. Reference data are often required to increase the positional accuracy of the satellite data but the data are not available in many inland areas in Antarctica. Therefore this paper presents a multi-image RPCs (Rational Polynomial Coefficients) sensor modeling without any ground controls or reference data. Conjugate points between multi-images are extracted and used for the multi-image sensor modeling. The experiment was carried out for Kompsat-3A and showed that the significant accuracy increase was not observed but the approach has potential to suppress the maximum errors, especially the vertical errors.

In this paper, we compare face recognition rate by PCA algorithm using distance change and embedded data being input left side and right side image in stereo images. The proposed method detects face region from RGB color space to YCbCr color space. Also, The extracted face image's scale up/down according to distance change and extracts more robust face region. The proposed method through an experiment could establish standard distance (100cm) in distance about 30∼200cm, and get 99.05% (100cm) as an average recognition result by scale change. The definition of super state is specification region in normalized size (92${\times}$112), and the embedded data extracts the inner factor of defined super state, achieved face recognition through PCA algorithm. The orignal images can receive specification data in limited image's size (92${\times}$112) because embedded data to do learning not that do all learning, in image of 92${\times}$112 size averagely 99.05%, shows face recognition rate of test 1 99.05%, test 2 98.93%, test 3 98.54%, test 4 97.85%. Therefore, the proposed method through an experiment showed that if apply distance change rate could get high recognition rate, and the processing speed improved as well as reduce face information.
