In this paper, we propose an unsharp masking algorithm using Laplacian as a weight map for the signal structure and a gamma transformation algorithm using image mean intensity as a weight map for mean intensity. The conventional weight map based on the patch has a disadvantage in that the brightness in the image is shifted to one side in the signal structure and the mean intensity region. So the detailed information is lost. In this paper, we improved the detail using unsharp masking of patch unit and proposed linearly combined the gamma transformed values using the average brightness values of the global and local images. Through the proposed algorithm, the detail information such as edges are preserved and the subjective image quality is improved by adjusting the brightness of the light. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm show better performance than conventional algorithm.

The exemplar-based inpainting model is widely used to remove objects from natural images and to restore a damaged region. This paper presents a method which improves the performance of the conventional exemplar-based inpainting model by modifying three major parts in the model: data term, confidence term and patch selection. While the conventional data term is calculated using the local gradient, the proposed method uses 16 compass masks to get the global gradient to make the method robust to noise. To overcome the problem that the confidence term gets negligible in the inside of the eliminated region, a method is proposed which makes the confidence term decrease slowly in the eliminated region. The patch selection procedure is modified so that the closer patch has higher weight. Experiments showed that the proposed method produced more natural images and lower reconstruction error than the conventional exemplar-based inpainting.

This paper propose a human action recognition method that uses bag-of-features (BoF) based on CS-LBP (center-symmetric local binary pattern) and a spatial pyramid in addition to the random forest classifier. To construct the BoF, an image divided into dense regular grids and extract from each patch. A code word which is a visual vocabulary, is formed by k-means clustering of a random subset of patches. For enhanced action discrimination, local BoF histogram from three subdivided levels of a spatial pyramid is estimated, and a weighted BoF histogram is generated by concatenating the local histograms. For action classification, a random forest, which is an ensemble of decision trees, is built to model the distribution of each action class. The random forest combined with the weighted BoF histogram is successfully applied to Standford Action 40 including various human action images, and its classification performance is better than that of other methods. Furthermore, the proposed method allows action recognition to be performed in near real-time.

This study examined habitat fragmentation that has occurred in Paju and Yeoncheon, the two border municipalities between North and South Korea in Gyeonggi-do (province) during the last 17 years using various landscape metrics. We 1) classified grass and agricultural habitats and forest habitats from two Landsat TM images collected in 1990 and 2007, and 2) compared the percentage of class area, patch density, mean patch area, and mean perimeter area ratio for the two habitat types between the two time points. Both types of habitats has been severely fragmented due to urban development in the last 17 years. The increased patch density and decreased mean habitat area are attributed to the construction of roads and railroads that separate a large habitat to many small pieces. The increased mean perimeter area ratio also indicates that the habitat fragmentation extended areas that are affected by the edge effect and so less suitable for interior species. A habitat conservation plan is urgently needed to minimize habitat fragmentation from developments that are expected to soon occur in the north and south Korean border.

포인트 클라우드는 수십만 또는 수백만개의 포인트로 객체 또는 장면을 나타내며, 그 데이터의 양은 엄청 나기 때문에, 다양한 대역폭 또는 장치에서 효과적인 서비스를 위해 확장성 기능을 갖춘 압축 체계 개발이 필요하다. 이에 따라, 단방향 패치 패킹을 활용한 LoD 제어 테이블 기반 밀도 확장성(LoD control table based Density scalability by using Unidirectional Patch packing, LDUP) 방법을 이용한 확장성에 대한 연구가 이루어졌다. 그러나, LDUP 방법은 2D 그리드의 크기를 조작하는데 한계가 있어, 패치 사이의 거리가 드물게 패킹되고, 이는 압축 효율을 떨어뜨린다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해 양방향 패치 패킹을 활용한 LoD 제어 테이블 기반 밀도 확장성(LoD control table based Density scalability by using Bidirectional Patch packing, LDBP) 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 LDBP 방법은 패치가 패킹된 영상에서 빈 공간을 효과적으로 감소시켰으며, 압축 효율 측면에서 LDUP 방법에 비해 더 높은 BD-Rate 이점을 얻었다. 제안된 LDBP 방법은 3D 포인트 클라우드 압축 시 포인트 클라우드 밀도 확장성을 기존의 LDUP 보다 효과적으로 달성하였다.

The detector of a focal-plane-array mid-wave infrared (MWIR) camera has different response characteristics for each detector pixel, resulting in nonuniformity between detector pixels. In addition, image nonuniformity occurs due to heat generation inside the camera during operation. To solve this problem, in the process of camera manufacturing it is common to use a gain-and-offset table generated from a blackbody to correct the difference between detector pixels. One method of correcting nonuniformity due to internal heat generation during the operation of the camera generates a new offset value based on input frame images. This paper proposes a technique for dividing an input image into block image patches and generating offset values using only homogeneous patches, to correct the nonuniformity that occurs during camera operation. The proposed technique may not only generate a nonuniformity-correction offset that can prevent motion marks due to camera-gaze movement of the acquired image, but may also improve nonuniformity-correction performance with a small number of input images. Experimental results show that distortion such as flow marks does not occur, and good correction performance can be confirmed even with half the number of input images or fewer, compared to the traditional method.

Example based Super Resolution(SR) is using the correspondence between the low and high resolution image from a database. This method uses only one image to estimate a high resolution image and can get the larger image than 2 times. Example based SR is proposed to solve the problem of classical SR. Neighbor embedding(NE) has been inspired by manifold learning method, particularly locally linear embedding. However, the poor generalization of NE decreases the performance of such algorithm. The sizes of local training sets are always too small to improve the performance of NE. We propose the advanced NE baesd on SVR having an excellent generalization ability to solve this problem. Given a low resolution image, we estimate a pixel in its high resolution version by using SVR based NE. Through experimental results, we quantitatively and qualitatively confirm the improved results of the proposed algorithm when comparing with conventional interpolation methods and NE.

본 논문에서는 자연스러운 증강현실 환경을 위하여 패치 기반의 텍스쳐 합성을 통한 마커 은닉 방법을 제안한다. 증강현실에서 카메라의 자세를 구하기 위한 보편적인 방법은 음영 대비가 뚜렷한 정사각형의 마커를 사용하는 것이다. 이러한 인위적인 마커의 사용은 물체의 인식과 추적을 용이하게 하지만 증강된 장면의 실감성을 감소시켜 사용성 저하를 유발하기도 한다. 제안된 마커 은닉 방법은 실시간성을 보장하면서, 배경 텍스쳐의 전역적인 특성을 유지하고, 주변 환경의 변화에 유연하다.

In this paper, DLKF (Deep Learning Keypoint Filtering), the deep learning-based keypoint filtering method for the rapidization of the image registration method for remote sensing images is proposed. The complexity of the conventional feature-based image registration method arises during the feature matching step. To reduce this complexity, this paper proposes to filter only the keypoints detected in the artificial structure among the keypoints detected in the keypoint detector by ensuring that the feature matching is matched with the keypoints detected in the artificial structure of the image. For reducing the number of keypoints points as preserving essential keypoints, we preserve keypoints adjacent to the boundaries of the artificial structure, and use reduced images, and crop image patches overlapping to eliminate noise from the patch boundary as a result of the image segmentation method. the proposed method improves the speed and accuracy of registration. To verify the performance of DLKF, the speed and accuracy of the conventional keypoints extraction method were compared using the remote sensing image of KOMPSAT-3 satellite. Based on the SIFT-based registration method, which is commonly used in households, the SURF-based registration method, which improved the speed of the SIFT method, improved the speed by 2.6 times while reducing the number of keypoints by about 18%, but the accuracy decreased from 3.42 to 5.43. Became. However, when the proposed method, DLKF, was used, the number of keypoints was reduced by about 82%, improving the speed by about 20.5 times, while reducing the accuracy to 4.51.
