컴퓨터 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어의 발전으로 그래픽 처리 기술은 날로 발전을 거듭하고 있으며 하드웨어의 기능을 최대한 이끌어내기 위한 소프트웨어 기술 또한 발전하고 있다. 이러한 발전으로 인하여 다양한 영상처리 분야에서 빠른 이미지 프로세싱이 가능하게 되었지만 빠른 이미지 프로세싱 능력에도 불구하고 프로그래밍 기술은 기존 것을 고수하고 있다. 일반적으로 사용해오던 기술은 높은 프로그래밍 지식을 필요로 하는 분야였고 이러한 이유로 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 전문적인 프로그래밍 지식이 부족한 예술계의 사용자가 이용하는 데에는 어려움이 있었다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고 이미지 하드웨어 및 소프트웨어의 효율적인 사용 환경을 위하여 Apple사에서 OpenGL과 Objective-C를 이용한 좀더 간단한 이미지 프로세싱 기법인 코어 이미지(Core Image)를 개발하였다. OS와 어플리케이션 상에서 빠른 이미지 프로세싱을 위해 개발된 코어 이미지는 기존의 이미지 프로세싱 기법에서 복잡한 형태의 프로그래밍을 요했던 것과는 달리, 여러 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 간단한 플러그인 형태로 지원한다. 예술적인 측면에서 다양한 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 보다 손쉽게 사용할 수 있으며 사용 방법 또한 간단하여 전문적인 프로그램 지식이 부족한 일반 사용자도 예술적인 측면에서 이미지 프로세싱 기술을 쉽게 접목할 수 있도록 구성되어 있다. 하지만 코어 이미지가 국내에서는 소수의 사용자만이 이용하는 Mac OS에서만 사용 가능한 프로세싱 기술이라는 문제점 또한 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 코어 이미지의 개념과 구동 원리 및 실제 예술 작품에 적용된 사례를 분석하고, 이를 통하여 다양한 분야에서의 코어 이미지의 가능성에 대하여 전망해 본다.

Huge amounts of contents are being uploaded every day on various streaming platforms. Among those videos, game and sports videos account for a great portion. The broadcasting companies sometimes create and provide highlight videos. However, these tasks are time-consuming and costly. In this paper, we propose models that automatically predict highlights in games and sports matches. While most previous approaches use visual information exclusively, our models use both audio and visual information, and present a way to understand short term and long term flows of videos. We also describe models that combine GAN to find better highlight features. The proposed models are evaluated on e-sports and baseball videos.

A laser speckle is a random pattern that has a granular appearance produced by reflected light when a coherent laser illuminates an irregular course surface. Most important property of laser speckle is detecting micro-vascular. Speckle image needs image processing to detect micro-vascular. This paper proposes a new image processing method for laser speckle, adaptive window method that adaptively processes laser speckle images in the spatial. Conventional fixed window based LASCA has shortcoming in that it uses the same window size regardless of target areas. Inherently laser speckle contains undesired noise. Thus a large window is helpful for removing the noise but it results in low resolution of image. Otherwise a small window may detect micro vascular but it has limits in noise removal. To overcome this trade-off, we newly introduce the concept of adaptive window method to conventional laser speckle image analysis. We have compared conventional LASCA and its variants with the proposed method in terms of image quality and processing complexity.

The augmented reality(AR) technology enables to acquire various image information at the same time by combining virtual image information with the user's viewpoint. These AR technologies have been used to visualize patients' organs and tissues during surgery and diagnosis in the fields of Image-Guide Operation, Surgical Training, and Image Diagnosis by medical convergence, and provides the most effective surgical methods. In this paper, we study the technical features and application methods of each element technology for medical fusion of AR technology. In the AR technology for medical convergence, display, marker recognition and image synthesis interface technology is essential for efficient medical image. Such AR technology is considered to be a way to drastically improve current medical technology in the fields of image guide surgery, surgical education, and imaging diagnosis.

It is obvious that the characteristics of the media are related with the visual expression found in film and video shots. It can be assumed that there would be unavoidable distortion when the space and objects are being framed into an image by the camera and that unavoidable distortion can be utilized for creative expression. Therefore the relationship among the shape of filming zone, the structure of the image, and the strategies of disposition of camera, actors, and objects were studied in accordance with expressional attempts found in film and video images. The classified cases of the expressions found in film and video was studied from the view of the dispositions and movements of the physical elements such as camera, actors, and objects which made the designated expression possible. Finally the organization of method to arrange of the elements used for film within film zone was resulted as the expressional directing methods for filming. Later the usefulness of the method was tested by the application of the method in educational procedure and the evaluation of the analysis of the students' results.

Recently the research on the system using images taken from camera phones as input is actively conducted. This paper proposed a system that shows wine pictures which are similar to the input wine label in order. For the calculation of the similarity of images, the representative color of each cell of the image, the recognized text color, background color and distribution of feature points are used as the features. In order to calculate the difference of the colors, RGB is converted into CIE-Lab and the feature points are extracted by using Harris Corner Detection Algorithm. The weights of representative color of each cell of image, text color and background color are applied. The image similarity is calculated by normalizing the difference of color similarity and distribution of feature points. After calculating the similarity between the input image and the images in the database, the images in Database are shown in the descent order of the similarity so that the effort of users to search for similar wine labels again from the searched result is reduced.

In this paper, a CMOS digital image sensor, which consists of A/D conversion, motion estimation circuits, and an attention module for ROI (Region of Interest) detection is presented. The functions of A/D conversion and motion estimation are implemented by $0.6{\mu}m$ CMOS processing circuit as hardware, and the attention module is implemented outside the circuit as software currently. Attention modules are taken to improve limited applications of the smart image sensor. The current smart image sensor responses to the changes of intensity, and uses the integration time to estimate motion. Therefore it is limited in its applications. To make up for inherent property of the sensor from circuit design and extend its applications we decide to introduce perception solutions to the image sensor. Attention modules for still and moving images are employed to achieve such purposes. The suggested approach makes the smart image sensor available with additional functions for such cases that motion estimation or intensity changes are not observed. Experimental result shows the usefulness and extension of the image sensor.

This paper introduces a method for generating model images that can identify specific cylindrical medicine containers in videos and investigates data collection techniques. Previous research had separated object detection from specific object recognition, making it challenging to apply automated image stitching. A significant issue was that the coordinate-based object detection method included extraneous information from outside the object area during the image stitching process. To overcome these challenges, this study applies the newly released YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) segmentation technique to vertically rotating pill bottles video and employs the ORB (Oriented FAST and Rotated BRIEF) feature matching algorithm to automate model image generation. The research findings demonstrate that applying segmentation techniques improves recognition accuracy when identifying specific pill bottles. The model images created with the feature matching algorithm could accurately identify the specific pill bottles.

최근 급속하게 증가하는 차량과 함께 운전자에게 보다 편리함과 안정성을 제공하기 위하여 첨단 안선 차량(ASV : Advanced Safety Vehicle)에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 그 중 한 분야인 카메라를 통한 자량 인식으로써, 전방 차량의 그림자를 이용하여 차량을 검출하고자 한다. 실험 절차는 크게 두 가지 단계로 나누어지며, 첫 번째 단계로는, 카메라를 통해 들어오는 도로 영상 이미지를 명도 값을 기반으로 영상을 차례로 분할하여 차량의 그림자를 나타낸다. 두 번째 단계로는, 선행 작업을 통해 얻어진 차량의 수평 그림자 성분을 이미지 안에서 탐색하여 차량의 위치를 검출하게 된다. 이에 제안된 방식을 검증하기 위해 CCD카메라를 이용하여 도로영상을 촬영하고, 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 전방차량이 검출됨을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 카메라의 원근감을 이용하여 케이블의 모드형상을 추출하는 과정을 제안한다. 제안 기법을 검증하기 위해 디지털 카메라와 캠코더를 이용하여 서로 다른 위치에서 동일 화면을 동시에 촬영하고, 촬영된 영상을 사진 변환프로그램을 통해서 초당 30프레임으로 영상이미지를 추출해 낸다. 추출된 좌.우 영상이미지의 영상좌표를 이용하여 케이블에 부착된 표적의 3차원 위치를 결정한다. 이때 디지털 카메라와 캠코더간의 위치 및 자세는 제안된 종속적 상호표정 방법을 통하여 결정한다. 결정된 케이블의 시간이력으로부터 고유진동수과 감쇠비는 다중 템플릿 매칭 알고리즘(multi-template matching algorithm)기법으로 추출하고, 모드형상은 TDD(Time Domain Decomposition)기법을 통하여 추출한다.
