The extracts of antioxidants, torreya nucifera and alphinia henryi, were tested for properties as a fragrance material and applied to a mask pack formulation to study the fragrance properties. The DPPH antioxidant test of hot water and ethanol extract confirmed that the ethanol extract had superior antioxidant efficacy compared to the hot water extract. It was confirmed that the optimal mixing ratio as a raw material for the mask pack of torreya nucifera and alphinia henryi was 3:7 as a result of the DPPH antioxidant test. As a result of the cytotoxicity test, the cell viability was good as it showed 103.30% at 0.5 ug/mL, 104.25% at 1 ug/mL, 102.56% at 5 ug/mL, and 99.17% at 10 ug/mL compared to the untreated group. As a result of the patch test on the mask pack formulation, the skin irritation index of 0.02 was judged as a non-irritation product in the skin irritation primary stimulation human application test. In the evaluation of skin moisturizing, it showed a significant increase rate of 19.178% compared to before the sample adaptation. Evaluation of the change over time in the sheet mask pack formulation confirmed the formulation stability without viscosity and pH change for 12 weeks at low temperature(4℃), room temperature(25℃), and high temperature(45℃).

This paper describes, in order to extract contour from topographic map image, an adaptive segment-length thresholding using a threshold depended on target image. First of all, after recognizing the primary symbols and detecting two edges from the projection histogram of the elevation value area, the threshold value is determined by the distance between the edges. Then, the subdivision is peformed by searching a branch point and erasing its neighboring Hack pixels. And contour components are extracted by segment-length thresholding. The experimental result shows that the final image contains non-contour component of 2.41% and contour one of 97.59%.

본 논문에서 적응적 탐색 영역(Adaptive Search Range)을 이용하여 개선한 제한된 1비트 변환 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 변환은 전역 검색 알고리즘 (Full Search Algorithm)을 사용한다. 그러나 이것은 매우 많은 연산량과 복잡도를 가진다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 각 블록의 탐색범위를 결정하기 위한 움직임 벡터 (Motion Vector)와 함께 제한된 1비트 변환 알고리즘의 제한된 마스크 (Constrained Mask)를 사용한다. 실험결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘은 움직임 예측의 정확도에 대한 성능을 비슷하게 유지하면서 평균적으로 Search Point의 수를 84% 줄일 수 있음을 보여준다.

2D 영상을 가지고 인식 작업을 수행하는데 있어서 입력 영상의 질은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 특히 얼굴 인식과 같은 실시간 입력 데이터와 미리 등록되어진 데이터와 비교하는 경우는 입력 영상과 등록 영상의 상태 차이가 크면 좋은 알고리즘이라 할지라도 높은 성능을 내기는 힘들다. 즉, 테스트를 위한 입력 영상을 등록 영상의 수준과 유사하게 만들어 전체적인 성능을 높일 수 있는 적응형 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여, 하나의 샘플 이미지에서 환경 의존적인 요소를 제거 하기 위한 최적의 필터 조합과 특징 추출 마스크를 생성하였으며, 그것을 사용하여 인식 테스트를 수행하였다. 가상의 편향조명 노이즈를 첨가한 실험에서 진화 전의 약 25% 인식율은 진화 후 약 92% 까지 향상되었으며, 임의의 임펄스 노이즈에 관한 실험에서도 진화 전의 약 47%의 인식율에서 진화 후 약 84%의 높은 인식율 향상 결과를 보여주었다.

A modified adaptive switching median filter for impulse noise removal, which has the noise detection step and the noise filtering step, is proposed in this paper. In the noise detection step, we use the detection threshold which is earned by calculating the intensity differences between pixels nearby with each other in localized window, to determine whether the pixels in the image are noise or not. Then in the noise filtering step, we will only remove the corrupted pixels and remain the good pixels. By the noise detection result, we can easily get the local noise density of the image, and use it to consider the filtering mask size and the times of filtering iteration according to different localized noise corruptions. For Setting the simulation result, we compared the proposed method to conventional median filters with several test images corrupted by various impulse noise densities. We also use the peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) to evaluate restoration performance, the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method shows better results than other median-based type filters.

Nowadays, the high quality of image is required with the demand for digital image processing devices is rapidly increasing. But image always damaged by many kinds of noises and it is necessary to remove noise and the denoising becomes one of the most important fields. In many cases image is corrupted by AWGN(additive white Gaussian noise). In this paper, we proposed an improved denoising algorithm with edge preservation. The proposed algorithm averages values processed by spatial weighted filter and self adaptive weighted filter. Then we add the value which is computed by the equation considering variance of mask and the estimated noise variance. Through the experience, the proposed filter performs well on noise suppression and edge preservation properties and improves the image visual quality.

In this paper, we propose a temporal error concealment method based on the edge adaptive masking. In the method, four regions around the corrupted block - top, bottom, left, and right - are defined and the edge features of the regions are extracted by applying an edge operator for each direction. The size of a mask for the boundary matching is determined by the edge information, which can be considered as a criterion to measure the activity of the boundary region. In other words, it is determined such that the size of the mask is proportional to the amount of edge-component extracted from each region in order to yield the higher reliability on boundary matching. This process is equivalent to applying weights depending on the edge features, which leads the improved motion vector. In experiments, it is verified that the proposed method outperforms the conventional methods in terms of image quality, and then its merits and demerits are discussed.

In the production of medical images, noise reduction and contrast enhancement are important methods to increase qualities of processing results. By using the edge-based denoising and adaptive nonlinear histogram stretching, a novel medical image enhancement algorithm is proposed. First, a medical image is decomposed by wavelet transform, and then all high frequency sub-images are decomposed by Haar transform. At the same time, edge detection with Sobel operator is performed. Second, noises in all high frequency sub-images are reduced by edge-based soft-threshold method. Third, high frequency coefficients are further enhanced by adaptive weight values in different sub-images. Finally, an adaptive nonlinear histogram stretching method is applied to increase the contrast of resultant image. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can enhance a low contrast medical image while preserving edges effectively without blurring the details.

The restoration of an image corrupted by Gaussian noise is an important task in image processing. There are many kinds of filters are proposed to remove Gaussian noise such as Gaussian filter, mean filter, weighted filter, etc. However, they perform not good enough for denoising and edge preservation. Hence, in this paper we proposed an adaptive weighted filter which considers spatial distance and the estimated variance of noise. We also compared the proposed method with existing methods through the simulation and used MSE(mean squared error) as the standard of judgement of improvement effect.

According to the development and supply of Wibro technology digital technology is applied in several fields. Digital images are damaged by various noises in the process of transfer and storage; the image restoration is to reduce the influence of the noises on images by removing the noises. To make good image restoration several methods have been proposed but the noise removal property is not satisfactory. Therefore, to effectively remove noises noise decision is made and if it is decided as a noise, the size of mask is enlarged; this is adaptive median filter algorithm that is proposed in this paper. And through simulation the superiority of this algorithm to existing methods has been verified.
