Look-up table based inverse halftoning from the digital color halftone image is proposed in this paper, which uses vector adaptive filter for the nonexisting patterns in the table. Halftone image is obtained from a continuous -tone image, which can be restored into continuous one from the digital binary image by way of inverse halftoning method. Look-up table based method usually processes fast and has even performances over the various halftoning. The numbers of pixels in the pattern of table and the method how to define the table elements for each R, G, B channels can effect largely for its performance. The proposed method uses 16 pixels in the table considering the diversity of the expressions from their patterns and with memory size as well. This also proposed how to combine R, G, B channels into one. Experimental results showed the better performance in the expression of colors, better color restoration and the short processing time compared with the conventional ones.

Multimedia applications tend to access their data as a streaming pattern with regular intervals. This characteristic can be utilized in prefetching the multimedia data into cache memory so as to reduce their execution speeds. The reference-prediction prefetch algorithm predicts the memory address that seems to be used in the next time based on the previous history of memory references stored in the prediction reference table. This paper proposes a strategy to manipulate the reference prediction table which contains all of the data reference instructions to scalar and streaming data. We have recognized that the scalar reference instructions do not contribute to the data prefetching algorithm. Therefore, when replacing an element in the reference prediction table, the proposed algorithm preferentially selects the scalar reference instruction before the stream reference instruction. It makes the stream reference instruction to stay for a long time compared to the FIFO replacement policy, and eventually improves the performance of data prefetching.

This paper proposes the method that design CLUT(color look-up table) simultaneously processing gamut mapping and color space conversion using only CLUT without complex computation. After CLUT is constructed using scanner gamut and printer gamut, the scanner gamut is extended to include original scanner gamut. This extended scanner gamut is used as input CIE $L^{*}$ $a^{*}$ $b^{*}$ values for CLUT. Then CMY values are computed by using gamut mapping. Input RGB image of scanner is converted into CIE $L^{*}$ $a^{*}$ $b^{*}$ by using regression function. CIE $L^{*}$ $a^{*}$ $b^{*}$ values of scanner are converted into CMY values without computation of additional gamut mapping using the proposed CLUT. In the experiments, the proposed method resulted in the similar color difference, but reduced the complexity computation than the direct computing method to process gamut mapping and color space conversion respectively.espectively.ively.

영상 역 하프토닝은 입력된 하프톤 영상으로부터 그레이 영상을 복원시키는 것으로, 하프톤 영상으로 처리하지 못하는 다양한 영상처리를 가능하게 해주는 방법이다. 기존의 참조표를 이용한 역 하프토닝 방법은 다양한 하프톤 영상과 원본 그레이 영상으로부터 추출한 정보를 이용해 입력 영상을 복원시키는데, 본 논문에서는 이를 바탕으로 하여 영상의 질을 전반적으로 향상시킬 수 있는 국부적인 이진 패턴 기반 참조표를 이용한 영상 역 하프토닝 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 참조표를 이용한 역하프토닝 방법을 이용해 영상을 복원한 후 각 픽셀에서의 국부 이진패턴을 계산하여 각 픽셀 값을 패턴에 따라 분류한다. 분류된 패턴 정보에 따라 국부 이진 패턴 기반 참조표를 생성하고 이를 통해 입력 하프톤 영상에 대한 역 하프토닝을 수행한다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 알고리즘이 오류 확산법에 의해 변환된 하프톤 이미지를 역 하프토닝 했을 때, 기존의 역 하프토닝 방법에 비해 더 나은 PSNR을 달성하는 것을 보인다.

A look-up table based vector adaptive filter is proposed in color inverse halftoning. Inverse halftoning converts halftone image into a continuous-tone image. The templates and training images are required in the process of look-up table based methods, which can be obtained from distributed patterns in the sample halftone images and their original images. Although the look-up table based methods usually are faster and show better performances in PSNR than other methods do, they show wide range of qualities depending on how they treat nonexisting patterns in the look-up table. In this paper, a vector adaptive filter is proposed to compensate for these nonexisting patterns, which achieves better quality owing to the contributed informations about hue, saturation, and intensity of surrounding pixels. The experimental results showed that the proposed method resulted in higher PSNR than that of conventional Best Linear Estimation method. The bigger the size of the template in the look-up table becomes, the more outstanding quality in the proposed method can be obtained.

This paper proposes the Hough transform(HT) using an extended lookup table(LUT) to reduce the computational burden of the HT that is a typical straight line detection algorithm, and analyzes its performance. The conventional HT also uses a LUT to the calculation of the parameter 𝜌 of all straight lines passing through an edge pixel of interest(ePel) in order to reduce the computational burden. However, the proposed HT adopts an extended LUT that can be applied to straight lines across the ePel as well as its peripheral edge pixels to induce more computational reduction. This paper proves the validity of the proposed algorithm mathematically and also verifies it through simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed HT reduces the multiplication computation from 49.6% up to 16.1%, depending on the image and the applied extended LUT, compared to the conventional HT.

This paper proposes a forward vehicle movement estimation algorithm for the image-based forward collision warning. The road region in the acquired image is designated as a region of interest (ROI) and a distance look up table (LUT) is made in advance. The distance LUT shows horizontal and vertical real distances from a reference pixel as a test vehicle position to any pixel as a position of a vehicle on the ROI. The proposed algorithm detects vehicles in the ROI, assigns labels to them, and saves their distance information using the distance LUT. And then the proposed algorithm estimates the vehicle movements such as approach distance, side-approaching and front-approaching velocities using distance changes between frames. In forward vehicle movement estimation test using road driving videos, the proposed algorithm makes the valid estimation of average 98.7%, 95.9%, 94.3% in the vehicle movements, respectively.

This paper proposed device-independent color matching algorithm based on the 3D RGB lookup table (LUT) between mobile camera and mobile LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) to improve the color-fidelity. Proposed algorithm is composed of thee steps, which is device characterization, gamut mapping, 3D RGB-LUT design. First, the characterization of mobile LCD is executed using the sigmoidal function, different from conventional method such as GOG (Gain Offset Gamma) and S-curve modeling, based on the observation of electro-optical transfer function of mobile LCD. Next, mobile camera characterization is conducted by fitting the digital value of GretagColor chart captured under the daylight environment (D65) and tristimulus values (CIELAB) using the polynomial regression. However, the CIELAB values estimated by polynomial regression exceed the maximum boundary of the CIELAB color space. Therefore, these values are corrected by linear compression of the lightness and chroma. Finally, gamut mapping is used to overcome the gamut difference between mobile camera and moible LCD. To implement the real-time processing, 3D RGB-LUT is designed based on the 3D RGB-LUT and its performance is evaluated and compared with conventional method.
