We propose a no-reference perceptual fog density and visibility prediction model in a single foggy scene based on natural scene statistics (NSS) and perceptual "fog aware" statistical features. Unlike previous studies, the proposed model predicts fog density without multiple foggy images, without salient objects in a scene including lane markings or traffic signs, without supplementary geographical information using an onboard camera, and without training on human-rated judgments. The proposed fog density and visibility predictor makes use of only measurable deviations from statistical regularities observed in natural foggy and fog-free images. Perceptual "fog aware" statistical features are derived from a corpus of natural foggy and fog-free images by using a spatial NSS model and observed fog characteristics including low contrast, faint color, and shifted luminance. The proposed model not only predicts perceptual fog density for the entire image but also provides local fog density for each patch size. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model against human judgments regarding fog visibility, we executed a human subjective study using a variety of 100 foggy images. Results show that the predicted fog density of the model correlates well with human judgments. The proposed model is a new fog density assessment work based on human visual perceptions. We hope that the proposed model will provide fertile ground for future research not only to enhance the visibility of foggy scenes but also to accurately evaluate the performance of defog algorithms.

Recently, autonomous driving technology based on object recognition and lane recognition has attracted attention. However, in foggy weather, haze removal technology is needed because it is difficult to recognize surrounding objects. The technology of removing hazy is currently being studied in many ways, and a single image based haze removal algorithms are typical. In this paper, we design the hardware for haze removal by estimating the hazy partical map. Proposed hardware architecture is designed to have a cumulative histogram based filter that does not affect the hardware size even if the window size of filter increases. The hardware design is implemented with XILINX's xc7z045-ffg900 as the target board.

야간에 자동차를 운행할 때 검정색 차량 같은 어두운 색상의 자동차는 운전자가 인지를 못하는 경우가 많고 안개가 짙게 낀 상황도 운전자의 시야가 좁아져 교통사고율이 급격하게 증가한다. 도로교통공단의 자료에 의하면 최근 5년(2009~2013) 동안 가해자의 안전거리 미확보로 인한 교통사고는 매년 감소하는 것으로 나타나지만, 안전운전 의무 불이행 다음으로 두 번째로 높은 사고 건수를 기록하고 있다. 이는 아직도 운전자의 시인성 저하에 대한 방안이 부족하기 때문이다. 시인성 저하를 위한 대책으로 BMW, AUDI, Benz 회사에서 적외선 카메라를 이용한 나이트 비젼이 있으나 거리감지기능이 없어 디스플레이를 계속 주시하면서 운행하여야 하므로 시야가 좁아져 다른 위험이 발생할 수 있다. 현재 시중에 제공되고 있는 적외선 나이트 비젼 카메라를 이용하였을 때 일반 시야보다 약 4배 정도의 거리를 인식할 수 있었고, 이러한 나이트 비젼의 장점을 활용하여 전면 차량과의 안전거리를 확보하는 시스템을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제시하는 시스템은 시인성이 떨어지는 환경을 가정하여 설계하였고 나이트 비젼 카메라를 이용해 디스플레이로 출력하여 육안으로 구분할 수 없는 물체도 인지할 수 있어 헤드라이트를 켜고 운행할 때보다 안전한 운행을 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 하지만 디스플레이를 지속적으로 주시하며 운행할 경우 거리 감각이 떨어져 근접해 오는 물체와의 충돌 사고를 막기 힘들 것으로 보인다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 보안하기 위해 영상 데이터를 활용하여 앞 차량의 유무를 파악하고 차량이 있을 때 안전거리를 디스플레이에 표시함으로 앞 차량과의 거리를 유지하여 사고를 예방하여 안전 운행이 가능하도록 설계하였다.

The number of CCTV installed in Korea is over 1.3 million, increasing by more than 15% annually. However, due to the limited budget compared to the installation demand, the infrastructure is composed of 500,000 pixel low-quality CCTV, and there is a limits on identification of objects in the video. Public CCTV has high utility in various fields such as crime prevention, traffic information collection (control), facility management, and fire prevention. Especially, since installed in high height, it works as its role in solving diverse crime and is in increasing trend. However, the current public CCTV field is operated with potential problems such as inability to identify due to environmental factors such as fog, snow, and rain, and the low-quality of collected images due to the installation of low-quality CCTV. Therefore, in this study, in order to remove the typical low-quality elements of public CCTV, the method of attenuating scattered light in the image caused by dust, water droplets, fog, etc and algorithm application method which uses deep-learning algorithm to improve input video into videos over quality over 4K are suggested.

A mobile communication device is a small size of portable computer which provides communication service, such as smart phone and PDA. Currently, one of the biggest barriers in developing the mobile communication device is security issue. Even though there are excellent security functions which can remove the security issues, there is a problem that the mobile communication device can not be loaded with all the functions because it has low storage, poor computational power, and inconvenient user interface, compared to the desktop personal computer. This paper proposes a context-aware security reconfiguration scheme for effective security management of the mobile communication device. The scheme can provide the mobile communication device with the optimized security service which is most adapted to its current security context. Through the prototype implementation and the experiments of the proposed scheme, we have confirmed that the proposed scheme is excellent in terms of computing resource efficiency and usability, without degrading security level.

Vertigo refers to a state in which awareness related to the location, posture, movement, etc. of a helicopter is insufficient in space. It is easy to fall into flight illusion when flying in dense fog or night flight, and even if it has a wide field of view, it can be caused by visual causes such as cloud shapes, wind conditions, conditions of ground objects, and sensory causes such as changes in air posture or gravitational acceleration. The design and program of the motion system are studied that applied a six-axis motion system to a conventional commercial flight simulator program for pilot training, depending on the specificity of helicopter flight training that requires perception and sensitivity. Using the motion-based helicopter simulator produced in this study to train pilots, it is expected to have a positive effect in prevent of vertigo, where high performance could not be confirmed in the previously used visual-based simulation training device.

The purpose of the thermal imaging observation device mounted on the K's tank in the Republic of Korea military is to convert infrared rays into visual information to provide information about the environment under conditions of restricted visibility. Among the various performance indicators of thermal observation devices, such as the view, magnification, resolution, MTF, NETD, and Minimum Resolvable Temperature Difference (MRTD), the MRTD is the most important, because it can indicate both the spatial frequency and temperature resolvable. However, the standard method of measuring the MRTD in NATO contains many subjective factors. As the measurement result can vary depending on subjective factors such as the human eye, metal condition and measurement conditions, the MRTD obtained is not stable. In this study, these qualitative MRTD measurement systems are converted into quantitative indicators based on a gray scale using imaging processing. By converting the average of the gray scale differences of the black and white images into the MRTD, the mean values can be used to determine whether the performance requirements required by the defense specification are met. The (mean) value can also be used to discriminate between detection, recognition and identification and the detectable distance of the thermal equipment can be analyzed under various environmental conditions, such as altostratus, heavy rain and fog.
