Contents adaptation is a technology which converts one content to another content used in various devices. Specially, synchronization of inter-media which are included in a document is needed. There are various proposals and solutions for synchronization of inter-media. In the paper, I present "TATS : Temporal Aggregate Tree Strategy" model, which is used for specifying the temporal relationship among media in series of time. In the TATS model, aggregate tree, a sort of a binary tree, is generated from the execution time of those media. Using this aggregate tree, I implemented the inter-media synchronizations.

본 논문에서는 콘크리트 표면 균열 영상에서 균열의 특징들을 추출하기 위하여, 영상 처리 기법을 개선하여 균열의 특징(길이,폭,방향)들을 자동으로 추출 및 분석 할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 기존의 영상 처리 기법에서는 비교적 잡음이 적고 균열이 적은 영상을 대상으로 균열을 추출하는 알고리즘을 제시하였기 때문에 많은 잡음과 균열을 가지는 영상에 대해서는 균열 검출 성능이 떨어지는 경향이 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안한 균열 추출 및 분석 알고리즘은 컬러 영상에서 Histogram Stretching 기법을 적용하여 영상의 콘트라스트 특성을 향상 시킨 후, Robert 연산자를 다시 적용해 균열을 강조하고, 강조된 균열을 Multiple 연산을 이용하여 밝기 차이를 크게 한 후, 개선된 적응 이진화기법을 이용하여 균열의 후보 영역을 추출한다. 추출된 균열 후보 영역을 형상 분석과 위치 및 방향분석을 이용하여 잡음을 제거하고 균열의 특징을 분석한다. 실제 콘크리트 표면 균열 영상을 대상으로 실험한 결과, 균열 검출 성능이 기존의 방법보다 본 논문에서 제안한 방법이 더 우수함을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 SVC(Scalable Video Coding) 및 MVC(Multiview Video Coding) 등의 다계층 비디오의 효율적인 적응 HTTP 스트리밍을 위한 MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream) 헤더의 확장을 제안한다. 먼저 TS로 다중화한 SVC/MVC를 HTTP를 통하여 스트리밍 할 경우 계층별 적응 스트리밍을 지원하기 위한 기존 TS의 한계점을 분석하고, TS 헤더의 확장을 통하여 TS 레벨에서 효율적인 적응을 제공하는 시그널링 기법을 제시한다. 본 논문의 제안 기법은 TS 헤더의 private_data를 추가적으로 정의하여 스케일러빌리티 및 뷰 정보를 기술함으로써 TS 단위로 스케일러블 계층 및 뷰 간 적응 스트리밍을 제공한다.

In this paper, an adaptive thresholding of the nonuniformly contrasted images is proposed through using the contrast pre-enhancement of the local regions and the bilinear interpolation between the local threshold values. The nonuniformly contrasted image is decomposed into 9${\times}$9 sized local regions, and the contrast is enhanced by intensifying the gray level difference of each low contrasted or blurred region. Optimal threshold values are obtained by iterative method from the gray level distribution of each contrast-enhanced local region. Discontinuities are reduced at the region of interest or at the characters by using bilinear interpolation between the neighboring threshold surfaces. Character recognition experiments are conducted using backpropagation neural network on the characters extracted from the nonuniformly contrasted document, PCB, and wafer images binarized through using the proposed thresholding and the conventional thresholding methods, and the results prove the relative effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

This paper proposes a local adaptive thresholding method based on a water flow model, in which an image surface is considered as a 3-dimensional (3-D) terrain. To extract characters from backgrounds, we pour water onto the terrain surface. Water flows down to the lower regions of the terrain and fills valleys. Then, the amount of filled water is thresholded, in which the proposed thresholding method is applied to gray level document images consisting of characters and backgrounds. The proposed method based on a water flow model shows the property of locally adaptive thresholding. Computer simulation with synthetic and real document images shows that the proposed method yields effective adaptive thresholding results for binarization of document images.

This paper proposes an adaptive binarization algorithm which is highly effective for a degraded document image including printed Hangul and Chinese characters. Because of the attribute of character composed of thin horizontal strokes and thick vertical strokes, the conventional algorithms can't easily extract horizontal strokes which have weaker components than vertical ones in the degraded document image. The proposed algorithm solves the conventional algorithm's problem by adding a vertical-directional reference adaptive binarization algorithm to an omni-directional reference one. The simulation results show the proposed algorithm extracts well characters from various degraded document images.

Geometric distortion and shadow effect due to capturing angle could be included in document copy images that are captured by a camera in stead of a scanner. In this paper, a clean black and white document image generation algorithm by distortion correction and shadow elimination based on a camera, is proposed. In order to correct geometric distortion such as straightening un-straight boundary lines occurred by camera lens radial distortion and eliminating outlying area included by camera direction, second derivative filter based document boundary detection method is developed. Black and white images have been generated by adaptive binarization method by eliminating shadow effect. Experimental results of the black and white document image generation algorithm by recovering geometrical distortion and eliminating shadow effect for the document images captured by smart phone camera, shows very good processing results.

Difference image scheme is widely used for motion estimation in moving object tracking system. This scheme contains a binarization step which segments image into background and moving object regions, referring to threshold value. In this paper, we propose a decision algorithm of tracking the threshold value with a differential image. The key idea is analyzing the histogram of the differential image. In addition we evaluate the performance of this method in comparison with conventional scheme. As an experimental result with 60 images, it is found that threshold by the proposed algorithm is very close to optimal threshold selected manually.

Rubber o-rings are produced by conventional injection molding methods. In this case, products that are not normally molded are determined to be defective. However, if images acquired during image-based reading are read as original, there is a problem of poor accuracy. We have thus learned from convolutional neural networks using adaptive binarization and Convex Hull algorithms by extracting only rubber oring parts from the original images through pre-processing. During the test process, it was confirmed that the defect detection performance of the learning method applied pre-processing was better than the standard suggested.
