This paper describes the implementation of cosmetic surgery simulation system by means of the bilinear warping and interpolation using a pair of control points in order to get the information which can be used to compare the before and the after the surgery. If an user provides a pair of control points, first of all, the system determines warping egion using the points and divides the whole region into four subregions which includes the control points as a corner ones. Then, for each subregion, it calculates warping coefficients for backward mapping using the four known comer points of each subregion. Using those calculated coefficients, the system gets the corresponding position of each pixel on the subregion of original image which matches the subregion of resulting image. Finally, a new pixel value is calculated by bilinear interpolation using the closest four pixel values of the position. The same process is applied to the remaining subregions. Through the experiments, we could find natural aesthetic results without any side effects which unnatural aesthetic results without any side effects which unnaturally distort the boundary of warping region.

In this paper, an adaptive thresholding of the nonuniformly contrasted images is proposed through using the contrast pre-enhancement of the local regions and the bilinear interpolation between the local threshold values. The nonuniformly contrasted image is decomposed into 9${\times}$9 sized local regions, and the contrast is enhanced by intensifying the gray level difference of each low contrasted or blurred region. Optimal threshold values are obtained by iterative method from the gray level distribution of each contrast-enhanced local region. Discontinuities are reduced at the region of interest or at the characters by using bilinear interpolation between the neighboring threshold surfaces. Character recognition experiments are conducted using backpropagation neural network on the characters extracted from the nonuniformly contrasted document, PCB, and wafer images binarized through using the proposed thresholding and the conventional thresholding methods, and the results prove the relative effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Talairach atlas consists of three orthogonal sets of coronal, sagittal, and axial slices. This atlas has recently an important role as a standard brain atlas in diagnosing disease related with brain function and analyzing cause of brain disease. The 3D digital volume data set reconstructed from the atlas is widely applied to visualization and quantitative analysis of results processed in the digital computer. This paper represented application method of bi-linear interpolation technique, proposed tri-planar interpolation algorithm for 3D volume data reconstruction of Talairach atlas. And we implemented Talairach atlas editor and discussed problems in volume reconstruction of Talairach atlas. The bi-linear method was applied to only one set of the slices and considered the on intensity value in the interpolation process. The tri-planar technique concurrently uses three orthogonal sets of slices with the same information of brain structures. Talairach atlas editor visualized three sets. of atlas slices on the same coordinate and had editing function. Using the atlas editor, we represented problems in volume reconstruction by showing inconsistency of brain structures among three sets of atlas slices.

The Z-map model which is quite similar to the non-parametric patch is widely used to describe the shape of a surface because of its simplicity. Despite the inherent advantage of z-map model. it has drawbacks that there exists difficulty in expressing the vertical walls and its related contact treatment method. In the region of vertical walls, there is a convergence problem in searching the contact point. In this study a contact point finding scheme is presented, based on the z value of the z-map model on the sheet normal direction. To show the utility of this scheme a compared with the experimental results. The effects of the Z-map grid distances and the interpolations of the inside Z-map value are also discussed.

최근 CCTV 출입 기록, 휴대폰 보안, 스마트 매장 등에서 얼굴 인식을 통해 개인을 식별하는 기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 카메라의 각도, 조명, 사람의 움직임 등 얼굴 인식에 많은 외부 환경이 영향을 미치고 있지만 그중에서도 실제 영상에서 얼굴이 차지하는 영역이 작아 저해상도 얼굴 인식에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 본 논문에서는 이미지 해상도가 얼굴 인식에 끼치는 영향을 알아보고 이미지 초해상화를 통해 얼굴 인식 성능을 개선하고자 한다. 쌍선형, 양3차 회선 보간법과 딥러닝 기반의 이미지 초해상화 모델인 RCAN을 이용하여 업스케일링한 데이터셋에 대해 학습한 ArcFace를 통해 얼굴 검증 평가를 진행하였다. 고해상도 이미지는 얼굴 인식 성능을 향상시키며, RCAN을 사용한 이미지 초해상화가 보간법을 사용한 방법보다 더 좋은 성능을 보였다.

Natural images can be classified into edge or flat region. Edges have also various shapes such as long edge, texture and so on. Because the conventional deinterlacing methods commonly use one specific algorithm, they are faced with the difficulty that does not adapt various shapes of images. In this paper, a selective deinterlacing method based on the characteristics of local region of image is proposed. An input image is classified into three regions; flat region, complex edge, long edge. And then for each region, the proper method is assigned according to the characteristic of the local feature. For long edge region, the modified $NEDI(New Edge Directed Interpolation)^{[1]}$ method that interpolates long edge very well is used. The linear $filter^{[2]}$ that enhances high frequency components is used for complex edge, and the bilinear interpolation method is applied to flat region. The proposed method shows improved performance in PSNR and subjective evaluation compared with previous algorithms.

Recently, as autonomous vehicles and intelligent CCTV are growing more interest, the efficient object detection is essential technique. The DPM(Deformable Part Models) which is basis of this paper have used a typical object system that represents highly variable objects using mixtures of deformable part for object. Although it shows high detection performance by capturing part shape and configuration of object model, but it is limited to use in real application due to the complicated algorithm. In this paper, instead of image feature pyramid that takes up a large amount of computation in one part of the detector, we propose a method to reduce the computation speed by reconstructing a new image feature pyramid that uses adaptive bilinear interpolation of feature maps obtained on a specific image scale. As a result, the detection performance for object was lowered a little by 2.82%, however, the proposed detection method improved the speed performance by 10% in comparison with original DPM.

This paper presents an adaptive image interpolation algorithm using local characteristics. An input image is classified into edge region and flat low frequency region. And then, the edge region is further partitioned into directive edge region and high frequency texture region. A bilinear interpolation is applied to flat low frequency region, cubic convolution is applied to texture region, and new edge directed interpolation to directive edge region, respectively. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing interpolation methods in terms of visual quality as well as PSNR.

압축한 비디오데이타를 네트워크으로 전송 시 채널이 불안정한 경우 패킷이 분실될 우려가 있다. 패킷 분실은 대부분 버스트오류로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 디코더에서 버스트오류를 효과적으로 은닉, 처리하는 방법으로 오류 내성 비디오 인코딩 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 공간적 오류은닉법으로 오류 패킷 분실을 야기시키는 손실 블록을 분리하는데 효과적인 블록 인터리빙을 적용한다. 시간적 오류 은닉에 대해서는 연속적인 내부프레임 또는 프레임간에 움직임벡터의 프레임간 패리티 비트를 삽입하는 구조를 적용한다. 비디오 인코딩 단계를 거쳐 디코더에서 수신한 블록들에 대해서는 쌍선형 보간법을 적용하여 전송시 발생한 국지적 오류를 적절하게 은닉 처리한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 인코딩 방법을 전송 블록에 부가 데이터로 포함하는 것은 표준 엔코더의 복잡도에 거의 영향을 미치지 않는다.

The most common form of pre-emphasis is y(n)=s(n)-As(n-1), where A typically lies between 0.9 and 1.0 in voiced signal. Also, this value reflects the degree of pre-emphasis and equals R(1)/R(0) in conventional method. This paper proposes a new flattening method to compensate the weaked high frequency components that occur by vocal cord characteristic. We used interval information of LSP to estimate formant frequency, After obtaining the value of slope and inverse slope using linear interpolation among formant frequency, flattening process is followed. Experimental results show that the proposed method flattened the weaked high frequency components effectively. That is, we could improve the flattening characteristics by using interval information of LSP as flattening factor at the process that compensates weaked high frequency components.
