By calculating the differences between two images, which are captured with the same scene at different time, we can detect a set of outliers, such as occluding objects due to moving vehicles. To reduce the influence from the different intensity properties of the images, a simple technique that reruns the regression, which is based on the polynomial regression model, is employed. For a robust detection of outliers, the image difference is normalized by the noise variance. Hence, an accurate estimate of the noise variance is very important. In this paper, using an empirically obtained correction constant is proposed. Numerical analysis using both synthetic and real images are also shown in this paper to show the robust performance of the detection algorithm.

In this paper, we have been implemented the QPSK-based underwater transmission systems using DSP in order to transmit the underwater image data. We have adopted a BDPA (Block Data Parallel Architecture) to control multiple DSPs used in the transmitter and receiver in order to transmit the image data in real-time. We also have developed GUI software in order to drive and to debug the implemanted system in real-time. We have executed open sea tests in order to analyze the performance of the implemented system at East Sea near Kosung in Kangwon-Do. As a result of these experiments, it has been demonstrated that 10 kbps image data can be received without errors at 30m and 80m depth points, while the distance between the transmitter and the receiver is up to 20m.

This paper investigates audience perception on news content through comparison analysis on Comprehensive Programming Channels, TV chosun, JTBC, Channel A, and Terrestrial Broadcasting 'KBS'. How sensationalism created by video news affect audiences' credibility on news and media. The results shows that Comprehensive programming channels are assessed more sensational than terrestrial broadcasters by audience. Additionally, Comprehensive programming channels are assessed to get a lower credibility than terrestrial broadcasters by audience in the analysis of news and media credibility, comprehensive programming channels and terrestrial broadcasters. As a result, comprehensive programming channels showed lower news credibility and media credibility compared to that of the terrestrial broadcasters. This means that comprehensive programming channels must do the best not only recovering credibility from audiences but also constructing position as national broadcasting media.

In this paper, the improved edge extract methods is proposed in order to extract edge. For the correct and fast detect, the binary image using the threshold value is applied for a experiment. For the experimental analysis, we compare the existing edge methods with the improved methods. Hereby, the exist methods are the sobel, robert, and prewitt. and the improved methods use the existing methods which is applied mask variations. The merits of the improved mothods have a result of a little erosion, a apparent edge. Specially, we use the grey image of medical image for the experimental analysis and then apply threshold value for a result image. After that, we acquire a apparent edge. For a quantitative analysis of the each methods, the each images was applied a histogram. As a result, we prove the merit of the improved methods using a analytical graph of the medical images.

In this paper, we proposed an image shaking index to evaluate the remote controllability of vision based unmanned vehicles. To analyze the usefulness of the proposed image-shaking index, we perform subjective tests using a virtual unmanned vehicle driving simulator. The developed driving simulator consists of a real-time multibody dynamic software of the unmanned vehicle, a motion simulator, and a driver console. We perform dynamic simulations to obtain the motion of the unmanned vehicle running on the various road surfaces such as ISO roughness level A~E roads. The motion of the vehicle body is reflected in the motion simulator. Then, to enable remote control operation, we offer to operators the image data that was measured using the camera sensor on the simulator. We verify the usefulness of the proposed image-shaking index compared with subjective index provided by operators.

Although it is more recommended to use satellite images for an accurate understanding of the natural environment over a large area, what should proceed obtaining such satellite images is to make basic model equations based firmly upon the on-land experiments and field experiments. It may be more accurate and objective to investigate correlations between satellite images and actual water quality factors obtained for the same area. Thus, this study was conducted in order to determined which band of Landsat ETM+ images is appropriate to estimate the density of chlorophyll-a in a closed laboratory without atmospheric interference, using pure water and sea water. As a result of this study, it was found that the best band that exhibited the highest degree of correlations among the compounded bands rated (B3-B4)/B2 in pure water and (B2+B4)/B3 in sea water. The correlation coefficient here is 0.9747 and 0.9892 respectively. Thus, compounding this band ran be quite useful for estimation density of Chlorophyll-a using Landsat ETM+ image data.

In this paper, an adaptive ROI(region of interest) detection system for spatialtemporal features is proposed. It utilizes spatiotemporal features for the purpose of detecting ROI. It is assumed that motion representing temporal visual conspicuity between adjacent frames takes higher priority over spatial visual conspicuity. Because objects or regions in motion usually draw stronger attention than others in motion pictures. In case of still images visual features that constitute topographic feature maps are used as spatial features. Comparative experiments with a human subjective evaluation show that correct detection rate of visual attention region is improved by exploiting both spatial and temporal features compared to the case of exploiting either feature.

MRI provides anatomical structure information with superb spatial resolution that can be utilized in clinical surgeries. Advanced image processing techniques in conjunction with the MRI-guided surgery is expected to be of great importance in brain surgeries in the near future. In this paper, we introduce an image-guided surgery technique using the stereo matching method. To perform image-guided biopsy operations, we made MRI markers, camera markers and a detection probe marker. To evaluate the accuracy of the image-guided system. we made a silicone phantom. Using the phantom and markers, we have performed MRI-guided experiments with a 1.5 Tesla MRI system. It has been verified from phantom experiments that our system has a positioning error less than 1.5%. Compared with other image guided surgery system, our system shows better positioning accuracy.

This study determines a range of CT parameter values in Brain CT which are minimizing patient absorption dose without compromising the image quality and optimal exposure condition. We measured dose and image noise using conventional CT parameters in Brain CT. In additon, we evaluated dose, SNR and PSNR of head phantom images while changing kVp and rotation time. In this study, effectiveness of dose that was achieved from dose reproducible experiments in conventional head CT condition is determined by changing kVp and rotation time. Dose and PSNR is related to low dose-high resolution condition. In conclusion, we suggest that using proposed conditions is effective for imaging to compare with conditions proposed by the manufacturer.

자연 하천의 홍수 유량 측정은 매우 어렵고 많은 비용과 시간, 노력을 요하는 작업이다. 보다 안전하고 경제적인 유량 측정의 대안으로 제시된 것이 하천 표면의 영상 분석을 이용하는 표면영상유속계이다. 이처럼 영상유속계로 하천 유속을 측정할 때, 적절한 품질의 영상을 취득하는 것은 기본이며 매우 중요한 단계이다. 특히 홍수 첨두는 야간에 발생하는 경우가 많으므로, 야간에 영상 분석에 적절한 품질의 하천 표면영상을 취득하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 야간 영상을 측정하기 위해 별도의 조명을 이용하거나 발광체를 이용하는 방법이 대안으로 제시되었으나 여전히 실용적인 차원의 적용에는 이르지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 표면영상유속계의 영상 취득 장치로 원적외선 카메라를 이용할 수 있는가 시험하였다. 원적외선 카메라는 별다른 조명의 도움없이 야간의 하천 표면영상을 취득할 수 있다. 안동하천실험센터의 인공수로에서 주야간 촬영을 하고 영상 분석을 통해 원적외선 카메라의 적용성을 검토하였다. 비교를 위하여 일반적인 캠코더와 근적외선 카메라를 동시에 적용하였다. 세 종류의 카메라로 촬영된 영상은 시공간 영상의 상호상관 분석법을 통해 유속으로 환산하고, 미속계로 측정한 표면 유속과 비교하였다. 비교 결과 원적외선 카메라 영상은 주야간에 상관없이 적절한 유속을 분석해 낼 수 있음을 보였다. 다만, 공간 해상도가 높지 않아 영상 분석의 정확도는 최적의 조건에서 다른 카메라로 촬영된 영상에 비해 떨어진다.
