In general, methods based on histogram or a correction of gamma curve are usually utilized to enhance the contrast of captured image in the dark scene. These methods are efficient to enhance the contrast globally, however, they locally induced the low quality of image. Recently, to resolve the problem, the multi-scaled refiner algorithm improving the contrast with locally averaged lightness is proposed. However, estimating the locally averaged lightness, if there is the object with a high saturated color, the color distortion might be induced by the color of object. Thus, in this paper, the dominant chromaticity of image is estimated to correct the locally averaged lightness in multi-scaled retinex algorithm. Because the average chromaticity of image includes the chromaticity of illumination, the dominant chromaticity is estimated with dividing the average chromaticity of image by the estimated chromaticity of illumination from highlight region. In addition, to improve the lower chroma by multi-scaled retinex algorithm generally, the chroma was compensated preserving the hue in the CIELAB color space.

SAR imagery can overcome the limitations of electro-optical sensor imagery and provide us Information which plays a supplementary role. But it is necessary to remove a variety of geometric errors in SAR imagery. An accurate geometric correction of SAR imagery is not easy task to achieve, though some techniques and theories are introduced. We also have difficulties such as transformation problem between 'International' ellipsoid in Radarsat system and 'Bessel' ellipsoid. Two widely used correction method, one is made by simulated image, and the other by collinearity equation, usually use DEM. In this study, the merits and demerits of geocoding methods respectively and the effective method for Korean terrain were found.

General method for correcting the distortion caused by the characteristic of the fish-eye lens may be classified in two ways. The first method is a calibration method using a mathematical model taking into account the characteristics of the lens, the second method is a method using only the distortion correction image, regardless of the lens. When considering the characteristics of the lens, calibration equation can be calculated geometrically from the relationship between the three-dimensional real-world coordinates and two-dimensional image coordinates and the parameters of lens. However, it is not suitable for ellipsoid type lens, because of existing research papers have been corrected on the spherical-type fisheye lens. In this paper, we propose a method for correcting geometrically using fish-eye lens as an ellipsoid model. Through a calibration picture, it can be seen that the proposed method is valid.

안개 제거 알고리즘은 single image에서 대기값(Airlight)와 대기의 빛 전달량(Transmission)을 추정하여 안개로 인한 빛의 산란에 의해 생긴 Contrast 감소 및 채도의 왜곡과 같은 영상 왜곡을 보정해줌으로써 안개 영상에서 안개를 효과적으로 제거해준다. 하지만 기존의 안개 제거 알고리즘은 안개 영상에 특화되었기 때문에 안개가 없는 영상에 알고리즘을 시행 할 경우 색상과 명암에 왜곡을 불러 일으킬 수 있다. 이에 따라 알고리즘을 수행하기 앞서 안개 량을 측정하고 그 결과에 따라 안개 제거 알고리즘에 제거 정도 가중치나 알고리즘 수행 여부를 판단할 필요가 있다. 본 논문은 기존 안개 제거 알고리즘들이 영상의 patch를 사용하여 빛 전달량(Transmission)을 추정한다는 것을 이용하여 빛 전달량을 구함과 동시에 안개 량을 판단하는 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 안개량을 측정하기 위해 각 patch의 pixel 분포 특성과 patch의 빛 전달량(Transmission)을 구하기 위한 특정 값과 실제 pixel의 명암(Intensity)을 비교하여 안개 량을 측정한다.

This paper provides a non-Bayesian method based on the expanded EM algorithm for segmenting the magnetic resonance images degraded by bias field. For the images with the intensity as a pixel value, many segmentation methods often fail to segment it because of the bias field(with low frequency) as well as noise(with high frequency). Our contextual approach is appropriately designed by using normal mixture model incorporated with Markov random field for noise-corrective segmentation and by using the penalized likelihood to estimate bias field for efficient bias filed-correction.

Images taken with KOMPSAT-3 have additional NIR and PAN bands, as well as RGB regions of the visible ray band, compared to imagestaken with a standard camera. Furthermore, electrical and optical properties must be considered because a wide radius area of approximately 17 km or more is photographed at an altitude of 685 km above the ground. In other words, the camera sensor of KOMPSAT-3 is distorted by each CCD pixel, characteristics of each band,sensitivity and time-dependent change, CCD geometry. In order to solve the distortion, correction of the sensors is essential. In this paper, we propose a method for detecting uniform regions in side-slider-based KOMPSAT-3 images using segment-based noise analysis. After detecting a uniform area with the corresponding algorithm, a correction table was created for each sensor to apply the non-uniformity correction algorithm, and satellite image correction was performed using the created correction table. As a result, the proposed method reduced the distortion of the satellite image,such as vertical noise, compared to the conventional method. The relative radiation accuracy index, which is an index based on mean square error (RA) and an index based on absolute error (RE), wasfound to have a comparative advantage of 0.3 percent and 0.15 percent, respectively, over the conventional method.

In this paper, we propose the edge compensation algorithm which connects the adjacent edges without losing the information of the skeletons on the edge image. The proposed edge compensation algorithm is composed of succeeding two steps. In the first step, the uplifted image is obtained by uplifting the edge image repeatedly. The next step is to extract the edge image from the uplifted image using the skeleton extraction algorithm. Experimental results show that the proposed method connects the adjacent edges without the distortion of the original edge information compared to the traditional method.

The smartphones which have been recently are embedded with high resolution quality camera, assisted GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope and various sensors including magnetometer sensor that could be directly used for measurement. This study aims to suggest the possible application of smartphone camera providing high resolution images in terms of photogrammetry by calibrating it and assessing its accuracy. First of all, prior to the accuracy assessment of smartphone camera, camera calibration was conducted to correct lens distortion of each camera and the accuracy of image coordinates and object coordinates calculated by bundle adjustment during this procedure was analyzed. Also regarding three-dimensional positioning, result analysis depending on considering lens distortion coefficients was conducted, and finally relative accuracy of smartphone camera on metric camera was assessed. The result showed that in terms of distortion correction of smartphone camera, also higher order symmetric radial lens distortion coefficients should be considered, and three dimensional position determined by smartphone images was a little difference from that by metric camera. Therefore it is expected that smartphone images have huge possibility to be used for photogrammetry.

한반도의 정밀관측을 목적으로 개발된 KOMPSAT-2위성의 영상을 활용하기 위해서는 촬영 시 발생하는 기하학적 왜곡의 보정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 지상기준점(Ground Control Point: GCP) 선택의 세 가지 특성을 각각 적용하여 기하보정을 하였다. 보정 영상의 정확도 검정을 위하여 수치지도(digital map)를 이용한 평균제곱근오차(Root Mean Square Error: RMSE)와 육안검사를 통해 정확도를 비교하였다. 그 결과 영상의 중앙은 선형 교차점을 선택한 방법이 가장 정확하였고, 가장자리는 건물의 모서리 또는 건물의 중심을 선택한 방법이 우수하였다.
