파노라마 영상은 최근 몇 년 사이 스마트 폰을 사용하는 일반 사용자에게 손쉽게 제작할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 파노라마 동영상은 기술상의 어려움이 있다. 파노라마 동영상을 제작하기 위해서는 두 대 이상의 스마트 폰으로 동시에 촬영을 하여야 하는데, 하드웨어의 차이로 인해 시간축을 동기화하는데 어려움이 발생한다. 이러한 어려움을 극복하기 위해 영상 정보를 이용한 시간축 동기화도 시도되었다. 하지만 영상 정보를 이용한 시간축 동기화에도 어려움이 있다. 영상 정보를 이용하기 때문에 계산복잡도가 높고 영상 내 움직임으로 인해 시간축 동기화 정확도도 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 영상 정보를 이용하는 대신 소리 파형을 이용한 시간축동기화 기법을 제안한다. 소리 파형 이미지를 이용하여 시간축을 동기화하기 때문에 정확도가 향상되고 시간축 동기화 프로세싱 시간이 단축되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

대부분의 상용 CIS 소프트웨어에서는 시공간분석 결과를 2 차원상에 가시화 하거나 해당 분석결과를 단순히 출력해 주는 형태이다. 3차원상의 질의 볼륨에 대한 3차원 공간분석 또한 이론 및 실험적으로 많은 연구가 이루어져 왔으나, 3 차원상의 공간분석 결과 가시화 기능을 통합한 시스템은 아직까지 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 3 차원상의 공간연산 및 3 차원에 시간속성을 부가한 4 차원 시공간 연산을 처리할 있는 4 차원 CIS 시스템을 소개한다. 제안된 기법은 2차원 수치지도와 3 차원 부가속성을 가진 데이터베이스를 이용하여 2 차원, 3 차원, 미디어 데이터간의 상호연계 및 통합된 가시화 프레임워크를 제공한다. 또한 가상세계 매핑기법을 이용하여 수작업에 의존한 별도의 이미지 프로세싱 과정 없이도 비디오상의 특정 프레임의 건물에 대한 속성질의 및 2D/3D 간의 상호 연계 기능을 제공할 수 있다.

Active infrared thermography methods have been known to possess good fault detection capabilities for the detection of defects in materials compared to the conventional passive thermal infrared imaging techniques. However, the reliability of the technique has been under scrutiny. This paper proposes the lock-in thermography technique for the detection and estimation of artificial subsurface defect size and depth with uncertainty measurement.

Population of urban areas is rapidly increased due to urbanization. This situation leads to lack of surface space. So, underground space has been developed for resolving the problem of congested urban areas. Many studies have researched for this situation. However, previous studies mainly focused on behaviour of structures. Researches about behaviour of soil are lacked. For this reason, this study has investigated interactive behaviour between embedded pile and its surrounding ground due to tunnelling. Soil deformation is observed by the close range photogrammetric method and image processing in the model test. These data are compared with numerical analysis.

In the US, Japan and Germany the Aerial-Based Vehicle Detection System, which collects real-time traffic data using the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), helicopters or fixed-wing aircraft has been developed for the last several years. Therefore, this study was done to find out whether the Aerial-Based Vehicle Detection System could be used for real-time traffic data collection. For this purpose the study was divided into two parts. In the first part the possibility of retrieving real-time traffic data such as travel speed from the aerial photographic image using the image processing technique was examined. In the second part the quality of the retrieved real-time traffic data was examined to find out whether the data are good enough to be used as traffic information source. Based on the results of examinations we could conclude that it would not be easy for the Aerial- Based Vehicle Detection System to replace the present Vehicle Detection System due to technological difficulties and high cost. However, the system could be effectively used to make the emergency traffic management plan in case of incidents such as abrupt heavy rain, heavy snow, multiple pile-up, etc.

Recent frequent occurrence of urban sinkhole serves as a momentum of the periodic inspection of sewer pipelines. Sewer inspection using a CCTV device needs a lot of time and efforts. Many of previous studies which reduce the laborious tasks are mainly interested in the developments of image processing S/W and inspection H/W. However there has been no attempt to find meaningful information from the existing CCTV images stored by the sewer maintenance manager. This study adopts a cross-correlation based image processing method and extracts location data of sewer inspection device from CCTV images. As a result of the analysis of time-location relation, it shows strong correlation between the device's stand times and the sewer damages. In case of using this method to investigate sewer inspection CCTV images, it will save the investigator's efforts and improve the sewer maintenance efficiency and reliability.

The investigation of valley networks and their volume provide important information about past water activities on Mars. As an alternative of conventional image processing methods, terrain filtering algorithm using pointcloud data is suggested in this study. First, the topography of pointcloud is inverted so that the valleys become positive features and the algorithm is then applied to distinguish the valleys from the surface. Ground DEM and object DEM are generated from both the valleys and the surface pointcloud then the volume of valleys is estimated by multiplying the height difference between the surface with valleys and the area of valleys based on grid cellsize. In the test of valleys adjacent to Tuscaloosa crater, the total volume of valleys was estimated to be $1.41{\times}10^{11}m^3$ with the difference of 12% and 16% compared with the infill volume of Tuscaloosa crater and BTH result respectively.

Between 1998 and 2010, the computerization of underground facilities was completed in 84 cities. Since 2011, new pipelines have been laid or existing pipelines have been maintained, renovated, and renewed. To measure the exact location and depth of the exposure pipe, a map of underground facilities was created before filling the ground. This method is based on the time when the underground facilities of the National Geographic Information Institute Regulation No. 134 of the National Geographic Information Office revised in 2010 were drafted. The process of the drone taking the video is based on a theoretical basis of ground control points. The method works by removing all ground control points located outside of the error range and re-processing it for calculating the best result. Furthermore, using a drone-based spontaneous measuring method allows workers to obtain a high accuracy underground facilities map in error bound. The proposed method could be used as a new way to standardize the processing.

This paper proposes image processing techniques that improve usability and performance in a diagnostic system of the contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. For a methodology for visualizing diagnostic parameter data in an ultrasonic medical image, an expression of transition time data with successive pixel values and a method of generating a lesion diagnostic parameter image with four categorized values are presented. We also introduce a MRF-based image enhancement technique to eliminate noises from generated parametric images. Such parametric image generation technique can overcome the difficulty of discriminating dynamic change in patterns in the ultrasonography. The technique clarifies the contour of the region in the original image and facilitates visual determination of the characteristics of the lesion through four colors. With regard to this MRF-based image enhancement, we define the energy function of consecutive pixel values and develop a technique to optimize it, and the usability of the proposed theory is examined through experiments with medical images.

As display resolution increases, many apps also tend to include high-resolution texture maps. Recent advancements in deep-learning-based image super-resolution techniques make it possible to automate high-resolution texture generation. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive analysis of the application of these techniques to texture maps. In this paper, we selected three recent super-resolution techniques, namely BSRGAN, Real-ESRGAN, and SwinIR (classical and real-world image SR), and applied them to upscale texture maps. We then conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis of the experimental results. The findings revealed various artifacts after upscaling, which indicates that there are still limitations in directly applying super-resolution techniques to texture-map upscaling.
