An environment model that is constructed using a single image has the problem of a blurring effect caused by the fixed resolution, and the stretching effect of the 3D model caused when information that does not exist on the image occurs due to the occlusion. This paper introduces the registration and integration method using multiple images to resolve the above problem. This method can represent parallax effect and expand the environment model to represent wide range of environment. The segmentation-based environment modeling method using multiple images can build a detail model with optimal resolution.

In many multimedia applications, image compression is required to substantially reduce the amount of image data. This compression, however, sometimes brings artifacts. Typical artifacts are blocking artifacts and mosquito noise in DCT-coded images, and ringing artifacts around edges in wavelet-coded images. We propose a new directional postprocessing algorithm, which includes detection of the edge direction, interpolation scheme, and directional nonlinear filtering, to enhance the quality of decoded images. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is as effective as or more effective than other nonlinear filtering techniques.

Recently, there have been much efforts in the image segmentation using morphological approach. Among them, the watershed algorithm is one of powerful tools which can take advantages of both of the conventional edge-based segmentation and region-based segmentation. The concept of watershed is based on topographic analogy. But, its high sensitivity to noise yields a very large number of resulting segmented regions which leads to oversegmentation. So we suggest the restricted waterfall algorithm which reduce the oversegmentation by eliminate not only local minima but also local maxima. As a result, the restricted waterfall algorithm has a good segmented image than the other methods, and has a better binary image than the histogram thresholding method.

The contrast of the intensity components of color images usually needs to be improved in order to enhance the visual quality of color images. However, pure color regions can be saturated due to the excessive enhancement of that color. In this paper, a new method for enhancing the visual quality of color images using saturation components in the HSI color space is proposed, and the same enhancement technique in the YCbCr color space is proposed. Computer simulations show that the proposed method provides improved visual quality compared to the conventional methods.

In this paper, we propose a technique for image enhancement, especially for denoising and deblocking based on wavelets. In this proposed algorithm, frame wavelet system designed as a optimal edge detector was used. And our theory depends on Lipschitz regularity, spatial correlation, and some important assumptions. The performance of the proposed algorithm was compared with three popular test images in image processing area. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed algorithm was better than other previous denoising techniques like spatial averaging filter, Gaussian filter, median filter, Wiener filter, and some other wavelet based filters in the aspect of both PSNR and human visual system, The experimental results also show approximately the same capability of deblocking as the previous developed techniques

This paper introduces an image decomposition-based deep learning method and loss function to improve low-light images. In order to remove color distortion and halo artifact, illuminance channel of an input image is decomposed into reflectance and luminance channels, and a decomposition-based multiple structural deep learning process is applied to each channel. In addition, a mixed norm-based loss function is described to increase the stability and remove blurring in reconstructed image. Experimental results show that the proposed method effectively improve various low-light images.

전 세계적으로 기후변화에 따른 온난화 현상으로 인하여 농업에 직접적인 영향을 주는 기상 및 환경요인의 변화가 급격하게 진행되고 있다. 2017년에는 전국의 봄철 강수량이 평년 대비 60% 수준으로 물 부족 현상을 야기하여 극심한 가뭄이 발생하였다. 최근 지역적인 강수량 부족으로 인한 국소적인 가뭄 발생 및 발생빈도가 높아지고 있는 추세이며, 특히 농업가뭄은 농업용수의 주요한 용수공급시설인 농업용 저수지 및 용수공급시설의 지역적 편중 등으로 농업용수 부족 상황이 발생할 위험이 커지고 있다. 따라서, 시기별 저수지의 가용용수능력을 평가하는 것이 중요하며, 이러한 판단을 위하여 위성영상을 이용한 저수지 수표면적 및 용수능력판단이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 가뭄시기의 저수지 수표면적 및 용수능력판단을 위하여 Sentinel-2 위성영상을 활용하여 2016년부터 2018년까지 충청남도 서산 지역의 농업용 저수지를 대상으로 정규수분지수(Normalized Difference Water Index, NDWI)을 산정하였다. NDWI는 위성영상의 파장 정보를 활용하여 지표면의 수분함유량과 관계를 나타내며, 하천, 호수, 습지 등 수분을 다량으로 함유한 지형지물을 탐지하기 위하여 사용된다. NDWI와 수위-내용적 자료와의 관계로부터 저수지 수표면적을 산출하였으며, 이에 따른 상관성 분석을 통하여 위성영상을 활용한 농업용 저수지의 가용수량 추정방법을 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, well-known SAR imaging algorithms have been developed to form the focused SAR images for stationary targets. In general, the conventional methods exploit the range variation only defined by the motion of radar platform and SAR geometry. However, for SAR imaging of ground moving targets, the motion of the targets induces an additional range shift, yielding the blurred SAR images. To overcome the problem, in this paper we propose an effective motion compensation algorithm operated under a multi-channel SAR, named along-track interferometry(ATI) and phase unwrapping to directly estimate the motion parameters of the targets. In simulations, 50 Monte-Carlo simulation results show the effectiveness of the algorithm in the presence of noise.

Lens distortion is inevitable phenomenon in machine vision system. More and more distortion phenomenon is occurring in order to choice of lens for minimizing cost and system size. As shown above, correction of lens distortion is critical issue. However previous lens correction methods using camera model have problem such as nonlinear property and complicated operation. And recent lens correction methods using neural network also have accuracy and efficiency problem. In this study, I propose new algorithms for correction of lens distortion. Distorted image is divided based on the distortion quantity using k-means. And each divided image region is corrected by using neural network. As a result, the proposed algorithms have better accuracy than previous methods without image division.
