본 논문은 에지부분에서 뚜렷한 영상의 복원이 가능하도록 하는 칼라 영상의 비선형 보간 기법에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 칼라영상을 구성하고 있는 성분중 휘도신호(Y)가 에지(edge)성분에 충실한 정보를 갖고 있다는 점에 착안하여 알고리즘 연구를 수행하였다. 일반적인 선형 보간 방법을 사용할 시 영상에서 고주파 대역의 손실을 일으키므로 영상의 화질 열화가 발생한다. 이를 보완하기 위해 본 논문에서는 비선형 보간법인 에지 방향성 보간 방법을 제안하였다 또한 조밀한 에지 영역에서의 에지 방향성 보간의 단점을 극복하기 위해 선형 보간과 에지방향성 보간 기법의 혼합을 통한 화질 열화 제거 기법을 제안한다.

A new intra-field deinterlacing algorithm with edge direction vector (EDV) in the image block is introduced. This proposed filter is suitable to the region with high motion or scene change. We first introduce an EDV, which is computed by Sobel mask used edge map, so that filer resolution of the edge direction can be acquired. The proposed EDV oriented deinterlacing system operates by identifying small pixel variations in five orientations, $26.5^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$, $135^{\circ}$, and $153.5^{\circ}$. The EDV values work as inputs of Sobel mask and return edge direction degree and confidence parameters. Based on edge direction degree and confidence parameters the missing pixel is computed. The results of computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms a number of intra-field deinterlacing methods in the literature.

The edge detection is a pre-processing of such as image segmentation, image recognition, etc, and many related studies are being conducted both in domestic and abroad. Representative edge detection methods are Sobel, Prewitt, Laplacian, Roberts and Canny edge detectors. Such existing methods are possible for superb detections of edges if edges are detected from videos without noises. However, for video degraded by the salt-and-pepper noise, the edge detection characteristic is shown to be insufficient due to the noise influence. Therefore, in this study, the area is separated as the top, down, left and right from the mask's center pixel first to acquire a superb edge detection characteristic from the video damaged by the salt-and-pepper noise. And the algorithm that detects the final edge by applying the directional mask on the assumed factor of mask that is obtained according to the result of determination for the noise status of representative pixel value of each area.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for improving the performance of the spatial filter which is the most important part of deinterlacing methods. The conventional edge-based algorithms are not satisfactory in deciding the exact edge direction which controls the performance of the interpolation. The proposed algorithm much increases the performance of the intrafield interpolation by finding exact edge directions based on the binary image. Edge directions are decided using 15 by 3 local window to find not only more accurate but also many low-angle edge directions. The proposed interpolation method upgrades the visual quality of the image by alleviating the misleading edge directions. Simulation results for various images show that the proposed method provides better performance than the existing methods do.

잡음에 의해 훼손된 영상 신호를 복원할 때 쓰이는 Wiener filter는 국부영역의 잡음 분산과 신호 분산을 가지고 적응적으로 필터의 파라미터를 조절한다. 그러나 기존의 Wiener filter는 고정된 필터 마스크를 사용함으로써, 평탄 영역의 잡음을 크게 제거하면, 에지 부분의 잡음이 살고, 에지 부분의 잡음을 제거하면, 평탄영역의 잡음이 사는 특성이 있다. 본 논문은 Kirsh mask로 에지와 그 방향성을 판별한 후, 에지 부분의 잡음을 제거하면서 평탄 영역의 잡음도 동시에 제거하기 위해 가변적인 필터 마스크를 사용했으며, 잡음에 의해 훼손된 방향성 정보를 살러 주기위해 필터 마tm크와 훼손된 영상 이미지에 방향성 정보를 추가했다. 제안된 방법으로 실험한 결과 주관적 비교에서 에피 부분이 잡음을 제거하고 방향성을 살렸으며, PSNR을 이용한 객관적 비교에서도 기존알고리즘보다 개선된 성능을 보였다.

The main issue of noise reduction of image is how to preserve edge and reduce noise. Usually, The Wiener falter is used for this purpose. But the conventional Wiener filter cannot remove noise well in both edge and smooth region due to the single size estimation window. In addition, it ignores the correlation between pixels. In this paper, we propose a new noise reduction algorithm, in which adaptive estimation window is used according to property of smooth region and edge region. In order to make edge more clear, directional Gaussian mask and directional estimation window combines to the Wiener filter according to direction of edge. From the simulation results, it can be seen that the proposed algorithm showed improves performance in both PSNR arid subjective evaluation

This paper proposed a novel do-interlacing algorithm using all direction edges estimation technique. In the proposed algorithm. previously developed the DOI(Direction-Oriented Interpolation) algorithm was used as a basis. The do-interlacing method was divided into two main parts. First, we should estimate edge direction. Then, missing pixel: were interpolated along with the decided edge. In this paper, after estimating the edge through the DOI algorithm considering high angle edge direction, missing pixels were interpolated by using the median filter. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm is superior to the conventional algorithms in terms of the objective and subjective criteria.

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.

Edge Detection is a technique that obtains the particular information of the image using the brightness variation of pixel values and utilized for preprocessing in various image processing sectors. The conventional edge detection methods such as Sobel, Prewitt and Roberts are processed by applying the same weighted value to the entire pixels regardless of pixel distrbution and provides somewhat insufficient edge detection results. therefore, this paper has proposed an edge detection method considering the direction and magnitute of pixels by applying a modified directional mask.

The purpose of painterly rendering is to express real painting work from input image. For expression of real pain ting impression, drawing condition is one of main element. In this paper, we propose new algorithm for using density of edges. Drawing condition of new algorithm uses color difference and density of edges. And for finding next position from current position, we used dynamic grid. We did direction interpolation for coherence direction. Also using various texture brush, we express the feel of a material effective. We show results of images rendered more realistic oil painting effect, and discuss long-term goals for more effective result.
