Marine environment analysis and ship motion prediction during ship navigation are important technologies for safe and economical operation of autonomous ships. As a marine environment analysis technology, there is a method of analyzing waves by measuring the sea states through images acquired based on radar(radio detection and ranging) signal. However, in the process of deriving marine environment information from radar images, noises generated by external factors are included, limiting the interpretation of the marine environment. Therefore, image processing for noise removal is required. In this study, image inpainting by partial convolutional neural network model is proposed as a method to remove noises and reconstruct radar images.

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, a novel correction method of red-eye effect is proposed. Conventional methods simply reduce red components in red-eye regions, not considering the expanded size of a pupil, thus the correction results can be unnatural. In the proposed method, an exemplar-based inpainting method is used for reducing the pupil region and filling the iris texture instead. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective and its correction results look more natural than those of conventional methods.

Depth-image-based rendering is a technique that can be applied in a variety of 3D-display systems. It generates the images that have been captured from virtual viewpoints by using a depth map. However, disoccluded hole-filling problems remain a challenging issue, as a newly exposed area appears in the virtual view. Image inpainting is a popular approach for the filling of the hole region. This paper presents a robust hole-filling method that reduces the error and generates a high quality-virtual view. First, the adaptive-patch size is decided using the color and depth information. Also, a partial filling method for which the patch similarity is used is proposed. These efforts reduce the error occurrence and the propagation. The experiment results show that the proposed method synthesizes the virtual view with a higher visual comfort compared with the existing methods.

본 논문에서는 입체감을 보존하여 스테레오 영상의 크기를 조정하는 기법을 제안한다. 스테레오 영상의 디스패리티 데이터를 이용하여 좌우 영상의 중요 영역을 추출하고, 영상의 빈 공간을 인페인팅(inpainting) 기법을 통해 복원한다. 복원된 배경 영역의 크기를 선형적으로 조정하고, 중요 영역은 최대한 보존하도록 크기를 조정하여 배경 영역에 붙여 넣는다. 실험 결과 제안하는 알고리즘이 기존 이미지 크기 조정 기법보다 스테레오 영상의 중요 정보와 입체감을 왜곡하지 않고 보존함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this paper, we study the effect of noise on video inpainting, a technique that fills missing regions of video. Since the video may contain noise, the quality of the video may be affected when applying the video inpainting technique. Therefore, in this paper, we compare the inpainting performance in video with and without denoising techniqueDAVIS dataset. For that, we conducted two experiments: 1) applying inpainting technique after denoising the noisy video and 2) applying the inpainting technique to the video and denoising the video. Through the experiment, we observe the effect of denoising technique on the quality of video inpainting and conclude that video inpainting after denoising would improve the quality of the video subjectively and objectively.

In this paper, we describe an error concealment techniques based on image inpainting for the image impairments due to the packet loss. Image inpainting is to remove or restore the damaged sections from the images, which is usually old images, paintings, or video films. Inpainting has a long history which goes back to the era when the paintings come out. Manual inpainting is no more used, and we can use digital inpainting for the digitally impaired images and video sequences. In this paper, we review the error concealment techniques for the packet loss recovery and propose our inpainting based image impairment recovery scheme for video communication over packet networks.

Old archived film shows two major defects: line scratch and blobs. In this paper, we present a design and implementation of an automatic video restoration system for line scratches observed in archived film. We use autoregressive (AR) image model because we can make stochastic and specifically autoregressive image generation process with our PAST-PRESENT model and Sampling Pattern. We designed locality maximizing scanning pattern, which can generate nearly stationary time-like series of pixels, which is a strong requirement for a stochastic series to be autoregressive. The sampled pixel series undergoes filtering and model fitting using Durbin-Levinson algorithm before interpolation process. We designed three-stage film restoration system, which includes (1) film acquisition from VHS tapes, (2) simple line scratch detection and restoration, and (3) manual blob identification and sophisticated inpainting scheme. We implemented film acquisition and simple inpainting scheme on Texas Instruments DSP board TMS320DM642 EVM, and implemented our AR inpainting scheme on PC for sophisticated restoration. We experimented our scheme with two old Korean films: "Viva Freedom" and "Robot Tae-Kwon-V", and the experimental results show that our scheme improves Bertalmio's scheme for subjective quality (MOS), objective quality (PSNR), and especially restoration ratio (RR), which reflects how much similar to the manual inpainting results.

본 논문에서는 키넥트(Kinect)에서 획득한 깊이 영상의 품질을 향상시키는 기법을 제안한다. 키넥트는 마이크로소프트사에서 출시한 카메라로 깊이 영상과 컬러 영상을 획득 할 수 있다. 하지만 적외선 패턴을 이용한 깊이 영상의 획득 방법의 한계로 인해 객체의 경계 주변으로 홀 및 잡음이 생긴다. 따라서 정확한 깊이 영상을 얻기 위해서는 깊이 영상의 품질 향상이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 깊이 영상의 홀을 채울 때, 인페인팅(inpainting) 또는 결합형 양방향 필터(joint bilateral filter) 등의 기법을 사용한다. 그러나 이러한 기법들의 경우 한 장의 영상만을 이용하기 때문에 객체 경계 주변의 흔들림 현상을 보정할 수 없다. 제안하는 기법에서는 먼저 수행속도가 빠른 가우시안 필터를 이용하여 경계 주변의 홀을 채운다. 이전 프레임의 컬러 영상을 그레이 영상으로 변환한 다음에 그레이 영상과 깊이 영상의 값의 변화를 분석하여 흔들림 화소를 찾아 이전 깊이 영상들 중 최대 화소 값으로 변환함으로써 깊이 영상의 경계 흔들림 현상을 줄일 수 있다. 실험을 통해 제안하는 기법이 기존의 방법들 보다 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다.

In Oriental medicine, the status of a tongue is the important indicator to diagnose the condition of internal organs in a body. A tongue diagnosis is not only convenient but also non-invasive, and therefore widely used in Oriental medicine. But tongue diagnosis has some problems that should be objective and standardized, it also exhaust the diagnosis tool that can help for oriental medicine doctor's decision-making. In this paper, to solve the this problem we propose a method that calculates the tongue geometry information for effective tongue diagnosis analysis. Our method is to extract the tongue region for using improved snake algorithm, and calculates the geometry information by using convex hull and In-painting. In experiment, our method has stable performance as 7.2% by tooth plate and 8.5% by crack in region difference ratio.
