Image taken in the night can be low-contrast images because of poor environment and image transmission. We propose an algorithm that improves the acquired low-contrast image. MPEG-2 separates chrominance and illuminance, and compresses respectively because human vision is more sensitive to luminance. We extracted illumination and used K-means algorithm to find a proper crossover point automatically. We used K-means algorithm in the viewpoint that the problem of crossover point selection can be considered as the two-category classification problem. We divided an image into two subimages using the crossover point, and applied the histogram equalization method respectively. We used the index of fuzziness to evaluate the degree of improvement. We compare the results of the proposed method with those of other methods.

In this paper, we envisioned a multimedia object recognition system processing and combinig information from all available sources, such as 2-D, 3-D, color and sound data. Out of the overall system, we proposed 3-D information extraction and object recognition methods. Firstly, surfaces are classified by z-gradient from the range data, surface features are extracted using the intersection of normal vectors. Also feature relationship such as intersection angle and distance is established between the surfaces. Secondly, recognition is accomplished by matching process which is improtant step in the image understanding systems. Matching process is very improtant procedures because of more general and more efficient method is needed in the field of multimedia sytem. Therefore, we focused the proposal of matching process and in this article, first of all, we deal with the matching process of the 3-D object. Similarity measures are calculated.

Recently, as one of several methods to improve the performance of DVC(Distributed Video Coding) system, many research works are focusing on the iterative refinement of side information. Most of the conventional techniques are mainly based on the relationship between the reconstruction level and side information, or the vector median filtering of motion vectors, but, their performance improvements are restricted. In order to overcome the performance limit of the conventional schemes, in this paper, a side information generation scheme is designed by measuring the block-cost estimation. Then, by adaptively selecting the compensation mode using the received bit-plane information, we propose a block-adaptive iterative refinement which is efficient for non-symmetric moving objects. Computer simulations show that, by using the proposed refinement method, the performance can be improved up to 0.2 dB in rate-distortion.

Generally, moving objects in surveillance video are extracted by background subtraction or frame difference method. However, moving cast shadows on object distort extracted figures which cause serious detection problems. Especially, analyzing vehicle information in video frames from a fixed surveillance camera on road, we obtain inaccurate results by shadow which vehicle causes. So, Shadow Elimination is essential to extract right objects from frames in surveillance video. And we use shadow removal algorithm for vehicle classification. In our paper, as we suppress moving cast shadow in object, we efficiently discriminate vehicle types. After we fit new object of shadow-removed object as three dimension object, we use extracted attributes for supervised learning to classify vehicle types. In experiment, we use 3 learning methods {IBL, C4.5, NN(Neural Network)} so that we evaluate the result of vehicle classification by shadow elimination.

The infrared energy is emitted in the infrared wavelength range that corresponds to the surface temperature of a object which has temperature that is over the absolute the temperature(OK). The infrared thermography (IRT) is a non-destrnctive testing method that provides thermal video for the user in real-time by converting the infrared quantity that is detected by the infrared detector into temperature. The pipes of nuclear power plant(NPP) could be thinned by the corrosion and fatigue and the defect could lead to a big accident. For this reason, the effective non-destructive testing method is necessary. In this study, the relationship between the measured temperature and the defect depth or size of NPP pipes were recognized and that was applied to detect the wall thinning defects of NPP pipes.

On live performance such as play and musical, various stage effects are utilized to attract a diverse audience. These stage effects include traditional direction techniques, striking display effects and all kinds of ways of being immersed in the scene. In this paper, we propose a novel digital visual effects(digilog) for controlling the surface texture of objects based on spatial augmented reality. For this purpose, we present a method of neutralizing the appearance of an arbitrary object using a projector-camera system. To make the object appear as if it is a transparent object by projecting a carefully determined compensation image onto the surface of objects, we use the homography method for a simple and effective off-line projector-camera calibration. The successful uses of the basic algorithm of Smart Projector for measuring radiometric parameters led us believe that this method may be used for temporal variation of plays and musicals.

하천의 하상재료는 전반적인 하천 계획 및 정비 등의 기초자료이다. 특히 하천의 하상재료 조사는 하천의 조도계수 산정, 하천의 유사이송 특성 분석 및 하천 서식처 등의 하천환경 조사를 위하여 수행한다. 지금까지의 하천 하상재료 조사는 사람이 직접 하상토를 채취하거나 사진을 이용하여 대략적인 스케치를 통해 진행하다보니 자료의 품질에 대한 신뢰도가 떨어지고, 사람이 직접조사를 해야 하기 때문에 비용이 많이 필요하여 몇 개 지점을 대상으로 하상재료 조사를 수행해야 하는 등의 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 하천 환경 평가를 위한 하상재료 조사를 위해서는 좀 더 체계적이고 과학적인 기술 개발이 요구된다. 특히 물속의 하천 하상재료를 조사하는 것은 육안 또는 카메라를 이용한 조사로는 어려움이 많기 때문에 하천 전체의 공간적인 하상재료 조사를 위해서는 새로운 기술이 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 보다 정확한 조도계수 산정을 위해 초분광 영상을 이용하여 하상재료를 분류하고, 이를 이용하여 하천 환경 평가를 할 수 있는 하상재료 분포도를 만들기 위한 하상재료의 분광특성 분석 연구를 수행하였다. 초분광 영상의 분광특성은 수백개의 밴드가 연속적으로 구성된 정보를 말하며, 영상 내 모든 화소의 파장정보를 포함하는 데이터 큐브형식으로 구성된다. 물체의 파장정보는 분광기나 초분광 영상 촬영 장치를 통해 수집할 수 있으며 파장정보는 파장과 이에 해당하는 영역의 반사도를 측정하여 하상재료의 분광반사특성으로 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 하천의 다양한 하상재료들만의 고유 분광반사특성을 분석하여 하상재료별 분광 라이브러리를 구축하고자 한다. 또한 이와 같이 하상재료별 분광 라이브러리를 구축한 결과를 활용하여 무인기 기반의 초분광 영상을 활용한 하천 하상재료 분류 기술을 개발하고자 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 하상재료별 분광라이브러리를 구축하였고, 실제 하천에서 무인기 초분광 영상에 활용한 결과 수체가 존재하는 영역에서도 초분광 영상을 활용하여 하상재료의 분류가 가능한 것을 확인하였다.

Recent development of marine magnetic gradient systems, using arrays of sensors, has made it possible to survey large contaminated areas very quickly. However, underwater Unexploded Ordnances (UXO) can be moved by water currents. Because of this mobility, the cleanup process in such situations becomes dynamic rather than static. This implies that detection should occur in near real-time for successful remediation. Therefore, there is a need for a fast interpretation method to rapidly detect signatures of underwater objects in marine magnetic data. In this paper, we present a fast method for location and characterization of underwater UXOs. The approach utilises gradient interpretation techniques (analytic signal and Euler methods) to locate the objects precisely. Then, using an iterative linear least-squares technique, we obtain the magnetization characteristics of the sources. The approach was applied to a theoretical marine magnetic anomaly, with random errors, over a known source. We demonstrate the practical utility of the method using marine magnetic gradient data from Japan.

In this paper, the required amount of heat for an anti-icing system of a Flush Air Data Sensing(FADS) system is predicted. For an efficient prediction during the early stage of a design process, a handbook method is used. A program of which inputs are flight conditions is developed to predict the required amount of heat. A CFD analysis is conducted to compute the water catch efficiency which is one of the core parameters used in the handbook method. Kriging method, one of well-known regression mothods, is utilized to construct a surface contour database to evaluate impingements of droplets. To predict the trajectories of droplets, the database of a flow field around the surface is built using Kriging method as well.

In this paper, we propose a method for the motion recognition method required in the industrial field in mixed reality. In industrial sites, movements (grasping, lifting, and carrying) are required throughout the upper full-body, from trunk movements to arm movements. In this paper, we use a method composed of sensors and wearable devices that are not vision-based such as Kinect without using heavy motion capture equipment. We used two IMU sensors for the trunk and shoulder movement, and used Myo arm band for the arm movements. Real-time data coming from a total of 4 are fused to enable motion recognition for the entire upper body area. As an experimental method, a sensor was attached to the actual clothes, and objects were manipulated through synchronization. As a result, the method using the synchronization method has no errors in large and small operations. Finally, through the performance evaluation, the average result was 50 frames for single-handed operation on the HoloLens and 60 frames for both-handed operation.
