In this paper, we propose a new salient region detection method in an image. The algorithm is based on the characteristics of human's bottom-up visual attention. Several features known to influence human visual attention like color, intensity and etc. are extracted from the each regions of an image. These features are then converted to importance values for each region using its local competition function and are combined to produce a saliency map, which represents the saliency at every location in the image by a scalar quantity, and guides the selection of attended locations, based on the spatial distribution of saliency region of the image in relation to its Perceptual importance. Results shown indicate that the calculated Saliency Maps correlate well with human perception of visually important regions.

본 논문에서는 과거와 현재지도를 자연스럽게 융합하여 살펴볼 수 있는 열 적외선 영상 기반 지도 조작 인터페이스 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 두 지도의 융합과 손가락 터치 검출로 구성되어 있다. 두 지도의 융합은 호모그래피 방법을 사용하여 과거지도를 워핑하고 이를 현재지도 위에 중첩하였다. 손가락 터치 검출은 열 적외선 카메라를 사용하여 손가락 접촉 후 생기는 잔류 열을 검출하였다. 손가락 접촉 위치는 검출된 잔류열을 이용하여 계산하였다. 현재 위성지도에서 특정 위치에 손가락을 터치하면 접촉한 위치를 계산하고 과거지도를 프로젝터로 투사하여 지도 조작이 가능하게 하였다. 제안하는 방법을 통해 구현된 인터페이스 시스템은 손가락 터치로 과거지도와 현재지도를 이해하는데 효과적으로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The objective of this research is to develope a process of integrating video image into digital map. In order to reach the research objective, the work includes the development of georeferencing technique for video images, the development of pilot system and the assesment process. Georeferencing technique for video images is composed of DGPS positioning, filtering of abnormal points, map conflation, indexing locations for key frames via time tag and indexing locations for total frames. By using the proposed building process, we could find the result that the accuracy of image capturing test points is $92.8%({\pm}2\;frames)$. The eventual meaning of this study is that it is possible to find a new conception of digital map, which overcomes a limitation of exiting two dimensional digital map.

본 논문에서는 대한민국 국토에 대한 토지피복지도를 인공위성 영상으로부터 생성하는 기술을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 먼저 합성곱 신경망을 이용하여 인공위성 영상의 각 패치를 4 종류의 토지 용도로 분류한다. 이후 인공위성 영상과 토지 용도 분류 결과를 조건부 랜덤 필드에 적용하여 픽셀 단위로 색상과 질감이 유사한 영역을 같은 토지 용도로 분류될 수 있도록 하여 정확한 토지피복지도를 생성한다. 현재 대한민국 국토에 대한 토지피복지도 생성을 위해 구축된 데이터 세트가 없기 때문에 본 연구에서는 합성곱 신경망 학습을 위한 데이터 세트를 직접 구축하였다. 이를 위해 환경공간정보 서비스 웹사이트로부터 인공위성 영상을 취득하고, 각 영상을 패치 단위로 나누어 토지 용도를 직접 분류하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 토지 용도 분류 합성곱 신경망의 성능을 평가하였으며, 최종 생성된 토지피복지도는 제안하는 방법이 효과적으로 토지 용도를 분류할 수 있음을 나타낸다.

아리랑 1호 위성은 EOC 센서를 이용하여 지도제작에 활용될 수 있는 고해상도의 입체영상을 제공하는 기능을 포함하고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 사진측량 도화장비나 대부분의 수치사진측량 시스템에서 아리랑 1호 위성영상을 이용한 도화기능이 제공되고 있지 않으므로, 아리랑 1호 위성영상을 이용한 지도제작은 정사영상에 의한 영상지도 제작으로 국한되어 이루어져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 상용 수치사진측량 시스템 상에서 아리랑 1호의 입체위성영상을 DLT 모델에 적용하여 입체표정을 수행한 후에 도화작업을 시범적으로 실시하였다. 또한 그 결과를 분석함으로써 아리랑 1호 입체영상에 의한 도화원도 제작의 범위와 타당성을 분석하였다.

Recently the extraction of building height information has been investigated using remotely sensed image and digital maps. In this study, based on the digital photogrammetry principle and mono imagery method the building height information can be extracted by using relationship between ground coordinates and image coordinates, To evaluate the result the comparison was done with building height from 1:5000 aerial photo. The experiment shows that extraction of building height could be performed using IKONOS single imagery and digital map and it is proved that the building height could be reconstructed within some extent.

In this paper, we propose a technique for extracting attentive objects in images using feature maps, regardless of the complexity of images and the position of objects. The proposed method uses feature maps with edge and color information in order to extract attentive objects. We also propose a reference map which is created by integrating feature maps. In order to create a reference map, feature maps which represent visually attentive regions in images are constructed. Three feature maps including edge map, CbCr map and H map are utilized. These maps contain the information about boundary regions by the difference of intensity or colors. Then the combination map which represents the meaningful boundary is created by integrating the reference map and feature maps. Since the combination map simply represents the boundary of objects we extract the candidate object regions including meaningful boundaries from the combination map. In order to extract candidate object regions, we use the convex hull algorithm. By applying a segmentation algorithm to the area of candidate regions to separate object regions and background regions, real object regions are extracted from the candidate object regions. Experiment results show that the proposed method extracts the attentive regions and attentive objects efficiently, with 84.3% Precision rate and 81.3% recall rate.

DIBR(Depth Image Based Rendering) is a kind of view synthesis algorithm to generate images at free view points from the reference color image and its depth map. One of the main challenges of DIBR is the occurrence of holes that correspond to uncovered backgrounds at the synthesized view. In order to cover holes efficiently, two main approaches have been actively investigated. One is to develop preprocessing algorithms for depth maps or parallax maps to reduce the size of possible holes, and the other is to develop hole filling methods to fill the generated holes using adjacent pixels in non-hole areas. Most conventional preprocessing algorithms for reducing the size of holes are based on the smoothing process of depth map. Filtering of depth map, however, attenuates the resolution of depth map and generates geometric distortions. In this paper, we proposes a novel preprocessing algorithm for parallax map to improve the performance of hole-filling by avoiding the drawbacks of conventional methods.

A depth map is an image which contains 3D distance information. Generally, it is difficult to acquire a high resolution (HD), noise-removed, good quality depth map directly from the camera. Therefore, many researches have been focused on acquisition of the high resolution and the good quality depth map by up-sampling and pre/post image processing of the low resolution depth map. However, many researches are lack of effective up-sampling for the edge region which has huge impact on image perceptual-quality. In this paper, we propose an up-sampling method, based on joint bilateral filter, which improves up-sampling of the edge region and visual quality of synthetic images by adopting different weights for the edge parts that is sensitive to human perception characteristics. The proposed method has gains in terms of PSNR and subjective video quality compared to previous researches.

In this paper, we propose an efficient detph map creation method using Graph Cut and Discrete Wavelet Transform. First, we have segmented the original image by using Graph Cut to process with its each areas. After that, the information which describes segmented areas of original image have been created by proposed labeling method for segmented areas. And then, we have created four subbands which contain the original image's frequency information. Finally, the depth map have been created by frequency map which made with HH, HL subbands and depth information calculation along the each segmented areas. The proposed method can perform efficient depth map creation process because of dynamic allocation using depth information. We also have tested the proposed method using PSNR(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) method to evaluate ours.
