Image inpainting is the widely used technique to restore a damaged region or to fill a hole in an image. The exemplar-based technique effectively generates new texture by copying colour values of the most correlated patch in the source into the empty region of the current patch. In traditional exemplar-based synthesis, the patch correlation is computed using only the already filled pixels of the current patch. Thus, by ignoring the correlation between the hole regions of the two patches, an undesirable patch which is highly correlated with the current patch in the already filled area but considerably dissimilar in the area to be filled can be selected, which results in bad texture propagation. To avoid such problems, a new exemplar-based inpainting method using patch extrapolation is proposed. The empty part of the current patch is extrapolated beforehand, and then the complete patch is used for finding its exemplar. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides more natural synthesis results than the conventional ones.

세그먼트 패치(Segment Patch) 기반의 스테레오 매칭에 있어서, 매칭의 속도와 정확도는 세그먼트 패치를 생성하는 과정에 의존한다. 본 논문에서는 매칭 프리미티브로 사용되는 세그먼트 패치를 결정하는 과정으로 영상의 강도와 함께 인접 세그먼트 패치들 사이의 깊이를 고려하여 최적의 세그먼트 패치를 결정하는 방법을 제안하였다. 그 결과 영상의 강도 변화가 작은 영역에서 뿐만 아니라 패치 매칭의 취약함으로 지적되었던 복잡한 영역에서도 좋은 결과를 보여 주었다.

In this paper, an automatic setting method of control parameters for robot scorer is proposed. First we acquisited some local image lesions including robots and ball patch, and sampled the regions to RCB value. Edge operator is applied to get magnitude of gradient at each pixel. Some effective patch regions can be detected by magnitude of gradient, and YUV value at each pixel in patch lesions can be obtained. We can determine control parameters of robot soccer using luminance component of YUV. The proposed method is applied to robot soccer image to detect initial patch value and get control parameters adaptively in light variation.

In this paper, the single patch microstrip antenna and gap coupled broadband microstrip patch antenna using FDTD(Finite Difference Time Domain method) are analyzed. Mur's 2nd absorbing boundary condition to minimize reflected wave is applied. Return loss, voltage standing wave ratio, and input impedance by the length and width of driving patch, the length and width of parasitic patch, and the distance between driving patch and parasitic patch have been analyzed. Design parameters and radiation patterns of broadband antenna have been also shown.

In stereo matching system, it is efficient using segment patch, which divides the image into homogeneous region in color or similar intensity, because it preserves the disparity boundary and disparity continuity in low textured region. But many miss matching occur in the highly textured region because of the over segmentation that makes patch small and ambiguous. In this paper, in order to solve problems, we propose adaptive patch matching based on the watershed image segmentation. Performance was verified in experimental results.

Image inpainting is a technique for removing damaged regions and reconstructing them with visually plausible backgrounds. However, if size of the damaged regions for reconstructing is large, the unexpected results can be obtained due to disconnected structures within reconstructed regions. In this paper, by considering spatial distance information between candidate patches and a damaged patch as well as pixel value difference, an exemplar-based image inpainting using multiple patches is proposed. In conventional exemplar-based image inpainting method, implausible results such as blocking effects or repetition of reconstructed patch may occur by using inappropriately selected single patch. To improve the exemplar-based method, the weighted sum of multiple patches considering both the spatial distance and the pixel value difference between the target patch and the candidate patches is utilized. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method produces better performance of image inpainting than the existing method.

The segmentation of cartilage is crucial for the diagnose and treatment of osteoarthritis (OA), and has mostly been done manually by an expert, requiring a considerable amount of time and effort due to the thin shape and vague boundaries of the cartilage in MR (magnetic resonance) images. In this paper, we propose a fully automatic method to segment cartilage in a knee joint on MR images. The proposed method is based on a small number of manually segmented images as the training set and comprised of an initial per patch segmentation process and a global refinement process on the cumulative per patch results. Each patch for per patch segmentation is positioned by classifying the bone-cartilage interface on the pre-segmented bone surface. Next, the shape and intensity priors are constructed for each patch based on information extracted from reference patches in the training set. The ratio of influence between the shape and intensity priors is adaptively determined per patch. Each patch is segmented by graph cuts, where energy is defined based on constructed priors. Finally, global refinement is conducted on the global cartilage using the results of per patch segmentation as the shape prior. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed framework provide accurate and clinically useful segmentation results.
