For 4th industrial revolution and the development of various communication media, unmanned and automation are rapidly progressing in various fields. In particular, high-level image processing technology is required in fields such as smart factories, autonomous driving technology, and intelligent CCTV. Accordingly, the importance of preprocessing in a system operating based on an image is increasing, and an algorithm for effectively removing noise from an image is attracting attention. In this paper, we propose a filtering algorithm using noise judgment and a segmentation mask in a complex noise environment. The proposed algorithm calculates the final output by switching the segmentation mask suitable for filtering by performing noise judgment on the pixel values of the input image. Simulation was conducted to verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, and the result image was compared and evaluated with the existing filter algorithm.

The pixel-based processing of an image refers to a process of converting a value of one pixel only depending on the value of the current pixel, regardless of the value of another pixel. Pixel-based processing is used as the most basic operation in many fields such as image conversion, image enhancement, and image synthesis. There are processing methods such as arithmetic operation, histogram smoothing, and contrast stretching. In this paper, in order to clearly distinguish the tidal flat region from the tidal flat image of the west coast taken with a drone, we seek a method to find an efficient outline using pixel-based processing in the boundary detection part of the pre-processing process.

본 연구는 용담댐유역을 포함한 금강 유역 상류 지역을 대상으로 Sentinel-1 SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) 위성영상을 기반으로 한 토양수분 산정을 목적으로 하였다. Sentinel-1 영상은 2019년에 대해 12일 간격으로 수집하였고, 영상의 전처리는 SNAP (SentiNel Application Platform)을 활용하여 기하 보정, 방사 보정 및 Speckle 보정을 수행하여 VH (Vertical transmit-Horizontal receive) 및 VV (Vertical transmit-Vertical receive) 편파 후방산란계수로 변환하였다. 토양수분 산정에는 Water Cloud Model (WCM)이 활용되었으며, 모형의 식생 서술자(Vegetation descriptor)는 RVI (Radar Vegetation Index)와 NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index)를 활용하였다. RVI는 Sentinel-1 영상의 VH 및 VV 편파자료를 이용해 산정하였으며, NDVI는 동기간에 대해 10일 간격으로 수집된 Sentinel-2 MSI (MultiSpectral Instrument) 위성영상을 활용하여 산정하였다. WCM의 검정 및 보정은 한국수자원공사에서 제공하는 10 cm 깊이의 TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) 센서에서 실측된 6개 지점의 토양수분 자료를 수집하여 수행하였으며, 매개변수의 최적화는 비선형 최소제곱(Non-linear least square) 및 PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) 알고리즘을 활용하였다. WCM을 통해 산정된 토양수분은 피어슨 상관계수(Pearson's correlation coefficient)와 평균제곱근오차(Root mean square error)를 활용하여 검증을 수행할 예정이다.

The primary aim of the color constancy algorithm is to estimate illuminant chromaticity. There are various statistical-based, learning-based and combinational-based color constancy algorithms already exist. However, the statistical-based algorithms can only perform well on images that satisfy certain assumptions, learning-based methods are complex methods that require proper preprocessing and training data, and combinational-based methods depend on either pre-determined or dynamically varying weights, which are difficult to determine and prone to error. Therefore, this paper presents a new optimization based illuminant estimation method which is free from complex preprocessing and can estimate the illuminant under different environmental conditions. A strong color cast always has an odd standard deviation value in one of the RGB channels. Based on this observation, a cost function called the degree of illuminant tinge(DIT) is proposed to determine the quality of illuminant color-calibrated images. This DIT is formulated in such a way that the image scene under standard illuminant (d65) has lower DIT value compared to the same scene under different illuminant. Here, a swarm intelligence based particle swarm optimizer(PSO) is used to find the optimum illuminant of the given image that minimizes the degree of illuminant tinge. The proposed method is evaluated using real-world datasets and the experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper shows how to compensate the skew from the traffic sign included in the natural image and extract the text. The research deals with the Process related to the array image. Ail the process comprises four steps. In the first fart we Perform the preprocessing and Canny edge extraction for the edge in the natural image. In the second pan we perform preprocessing and postprocessing for Hough Transform in order to extract the skewed angle. In the third part we remove the noise images and the complex lines, and then extract the candidate region using the features of the text. In the last part after performing the local binarization in the extracted candidate region, we demonstrate the text extraction by using the differences of the features which appeared between the tett and the non-text in order to select the unnecessary non-text. After carrying out an experiment with the natural image of 100 Pieces that includes the traffic sign. The research indicates a 82.54 percent extraction of the text and a 79.69 percent accuracy of the extraction, and this improved more accurate text extraction in comparison with the existing works such as the method using RLS(Run Length Smoothing) or Fourier Transform. Also this research shows a 94.5 percent extraction in respect of the extraction on the skewed angle. That improved a 26 percent, compared with the way used only Hough Transform. The research is applied to giving the information of the location regarding the walking aid system for the blind or the operation of a driverless vehicle

본 논문에서는 블럽을 사용해서 다수의 자동차 후면의 번호판을 추출하는 방법을 제안한다. 입력 영상에서 번호판의 문자와 배경사이의 명암도 차이를 이용하여, 입력 영상의 모든 블럽을 찾고, 찾아낸 블럽을 둘러싸는 최소의 사각형들을 구한다. 이 사각형들 중에서 일련의 경향성을 갖는 블럽 그룹을 찾는다. 찾아난 블럽 그룹이 자동차 번호판인지 아닌지를 SVM을 이용하여 확인한다. 적응적 이진화를 제외한 전처리작업을 하지 않았음에도 불구하고 번호판 검출률은 매우 높았으며, 번호판을 검출하는데 걸리는 시간도 길지 않았다.

In this study, we have proposed the method of moving area detection as the preprocessing step of moving object tracking system. First, we catch the two frames which are different at time in image sequence. We obtain the moving area by using their binary differential image. In differential image, the object area of previous and current frame is present. In the tracking system, the background is changed by camera motion. So, in this case we have to decide which moving area of object is current at time. We obtain the binary edge image of current frame by applying a threshold to the output of an edge detector. Then we performed logical AND operation between the edge image and differential image. As a result of this work moving area of object can be detected.

The backup site operation of the Image Data Acquisition and Control System (IDACS) for Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is discussed in terms of the ground station configuration, image data processing, and the characteristics of backup activities for both the meteorological image data and the ocean image data. The well-performed backup operation of the COMS IDACS is also confirmed with the first three years normal operation results from April, 2011 to March, 2014. The operation results are analyzed through statistical approach to provide the achieved operational performance of the image data reception, preprocessing, and broadcast.
