이미지 데이터베이스 시스템에서 이미지에 포함된 문자정보를 기반으로 검색어를 사용한다면 검색의 정확도 높일 수 있다. 이미지에서 문자정보를 추출을 위한 전단계로서 문자열 영역 검출이 필수적인 과제가 된다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 문자의 크기와 문자열의 방향에 적응적인 문자-에지 맵을 이용한 문자열 영역 검출 방법을 제안한다. 캐니-에지 검출기로 에지를 추출하고, 생성된 에지 이미지로 레이블 이미지를 얻고, 그 영역의 문자구조 특징을 분석하기 위해서 배열문법으로 문자-에지 맵에 적응적으로 분석한다. 문자-에지 맵의 분석결과로서 문자열 후보 영역을 얻고, 문자열 영역의 구조적인 특징을 이용하여 문자열 후보 영역을 검증함으로서 최종적인 문자열 영역을 검출한다. 제안한 방법은 다양한 종류의 자연영상을 대상으로 실험하였고, 자연영상에서 기울어진 문자열과 다양한 크기의 문자를 갖는 문자열 영역을 효과적으로 검출하였다.

Space Imaging Sensor operated on LEO is affected from the Earth IR and Albedo as well as the Sun Radiation. The Imaging Sensor exposed to extreme environment needs thermal control subsystem to be maintained in operating/non-operating allowable temperature. Generally, units are periodically dissipated on spacecraft panel, which is designed as radiator. Because thermal design of the imaging sensor inside a spacecraft is isolated, heat pipes connected to radiators on the panel efficiently transfer dissipation of the units. First of all, preliminary thermal design of radiating area and heater power is performed through steady energy balance equation. Based on preliminary thermal design, on-orbit thermal analysis is calculated by SINDA, so calculation for thermal design could be easy and rapid. Radiators are designed to rib-type in order to maintain radiating performance and reduce mass. After on-orbit thermal analysis, thermal requirements for Space Imaging Sensor are verified.

GOCI the world first Ocean Color Imager in Geostationary Orbit, which could obtain total 8 images of the same region a day, however, its spatial resolution(500m) is not enough to use for the accurate land application, Super Resolution(SR), reconstructing the high resolution(HR) image from multiple low resolution(LR) images introduced by computer vision field. could be applied to the time-series remotely sensed images such as GOCI data, and the higher resolution image could be reconstructed from multiple images by the SR, and also the cloud masked area of images could be recovered. As the precedent study for developing the efficient SR method for GOCI images, on this research, it reproduced the simulated data under the acquisition process of the remote sensed data, and then the simulated images arc applied to the proposed algorithm. From the proposed algorithm result of the simulated data, it turned out that low resolution(LR) images could be registered in sub-pixel accuracy, and the reconstructed HR image including RMSE, PSNR, SSIM Index value compared with original HR image were 0.5763, 52.9183 db, 0.9486, could be obtained.

We presented a very fast and robust method of text line segmentation based on the DCT blocks of color image without decompression and binary transformation processes. Using DC and another three primary AC coefficients from block DCT we created a gray-scale image having reduced size by 8x8. In order to detect and locate white strips between text lines we analyzed horizontal and vertical projection profiles of the image and we applied a direct markov model to recover the missing white strips by estimating hidden periodicity. We presented performance results. The results showed that our method was 40 - 100 times faster than traditional method.

위성에 탑재된 전자광학 카메라(Electro-Optical Camera)로부터 획득된 영상에서는 카메라의 스캔 방향과 통일한 방향으로 "줄무늬잡음"이 발생하게 된다. 이는 센서의 특성이 통일하지 않고, 우주라는 열악한 환경에서 영상의 획득이 일어나기 때문이다. 똔 논문에서는 줄무늬잡음을 제거하기 위해 비선형 보정방법을 제안한다. 영상의 준균일성(quasi-homogeneous)과 센서특성의 시불변성(time-invariancy) 가정을 바탕으로, 보정하려는 열의 이웃 열을 참조하여 줄무늬잡음에 의한 오차를 추정하고 이를 최소화한다. 줄무늬 잡음 정도를 추정하기 위해 줄무늬잡음을 바이어스에 의한 것과 특성곡선의 경향 차이에 의한 것으로 나눈다. 바이어스에 의한 오차는 센서가 스캔하는 방향과 통일한 방향으로 통계적 특성을 이용하여 추정한다. 특성곡선의 경향차에 의한 오차는 보정하려는 열에서 동일한 박기 레벨을 갖는 화소들을 조사하고, 이들과 이웃하는 열의 동일 위치에 있는 화소의 밝기 레벨의 통계적 특성을 파악하여 추정한다. 이렇게 추정된 오차를 최소화함으로써, 줄무늬잡음을 효과적으로 제거하였다.적으로 제거하였다.

On-board black body is used for radiation temperature calibration of spaceborne radiometers and imaging systems. The thermal design of black body proposed in this study is basically composed of heaters to heat-up the black body from low to high temperature during the calibration, heat pipe to transfer residual heat on the black body just after calibration to radiator on the S/C and heaters on the radiator to keep the certain temperature range of the black body during non-calibration. In the present work, the effectiveness of thermal design of on-board black body has been investigated by on-orbit thermal analysis.

The shortage of fossil fuel drives researchers to find a new way to increases energy efficiency. In this paper, we propose a method to control the direction and speed of an air conditioner using a thermal image and fuzzy controlling method, which results in the increase of energy efficiency. The thermal image is first converted into a color temperature image which represents the temperature range from $24.0^{\circ}C$ to $27.0^{\circ}C$. The temperature image is divided into 5 columns and the distribution of them is used to analyze room temperature and control an air conditioner. The proposed method was applied to 300 by 400 thermal images. When the performance of the proposed method was compared to existing systems in energy efficiency, the proposed method was better than existing methods, which is clear from experimental results.

A thermal imaging sensor receives the radiating energy from the target and the background, so it has been widely used for detection, tracking, and classification of targets at night for military purpose. In recognizing the target automatically using thermal images, if the correct edges of object are used then it can generate the classification results with high accuracy. However since the thermal images have lower spatial resolution and more blurred edges than color images, the accuracy of the classification using thermal images can be decreased. In this paper, to overcome this problem, a new hierarchical classifier using both shape and local features based on the segmentation reliabilities, and the class/pose updating method for vehicle classification are proposed. The proposed classification method was validated using thermal video sequences of more than 20,000 images which include four types of military vehicles - main battle tank, armored personnel carrier, military truck, and estate car. The experiment results showed that the proposed method outperformed the state-of-the-arts methods in classification accuracy.

최근 감시시스템 구축에서 디지털 비디오 레코더(DVR)를 이용하는 방식이 주를 이루고 있다. 영상압축 기술의 발전에 따라 디지털 비디오 레코더는 H.264/AVC 인코더를 기반으로 저장 공간 대비 고화질의 영상 저장이 가능해졌다. 또한, 다수 채널의 동시 처리가 가능해졌을 뿐만 아니라 영상 압축 및 저장 기능 외에 지능형 감시를 위한 기능이 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 H.264/AVC 압축 비트열에서 움직임 벡터 추출 및 분석을 통한 영상내 이동 물체 검출 방법을 제안한다. 압축 비트열에서 현재 프레임과 이전 프레임의 움직임 벡터들의 크기와 각도를 비교하여 임계값 이하인 움직임 벡터들을 추출하여 이동 물체를 검출하였다. 이동 물체 검출 성능 평가를 위해 H.264/AVC의 참조 프로그램인 JM 15.1을 사용하여 인코딩 및 비트열 분석을 수행 하였고, 움직임이 검출된 시간 구간만을 디코딩 후 저장하는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 제안된 방식은 디코딩 부분의 연산량 감소뿐만 아니라 저장소의 물리적 공간 절약이 가능하다.

In this paper, a word segmentation method for handwritten Korean text line images is proposed. The method uses gap information to segment words in line images, where the gap is defined as a white run obtained after vertical projection of line images. Each gap is assigned to one of inter-word gap and inter-character gap based on gap distance. We take up three distance measures which have been proposed for the word segmentation of handwritten English text line images. Then we test three clustering techniques to detect the best combination of gap metrics and classification techniques for Korean text line images. The experiment has been done with 305 text line images extracted manually from live mail pieces. The experimental result demonstrates the superiority of BB(Bounding Box) distance measure and sequential clustering approach, in which the cumulative word segmentation accuracy up to the third hypothesis is 88.52%. Given a line image, the processing time is about 0.05 second.
