Color images are often corrupted by the noise due to noisy sensors or channel transmission errors. Some filters such as vector media and vector $\alpha$-trimmed mean filter have bee used for color noise removal. In this paper, We propose the fuzzy cluster filters based on the possibilistic c-means clustering, because the possibilistic c-means clustering can get robust memberships in noisy environments. Also, we propose weighted vector $\alpha$-trimmed mean filter to improve the conventional vector $\alpha$-trimmed mean filter. In this filter, the central data are more weighted than the outlying data. In this paper, we implemented the color noise generator to evaluate the performance of the proposed filters in the color noise environments. The NCD measure and visual measure by human observer are used for evaluation the performance of the proposed filters. In the experiment, proposed fuzzy cluster filters in the sense of NCD measure gave the best performance over conventional filters in the mixed noise. Simulation results showed that proposed weighted vector $\alpha$-trimmed mean filters better than the conventional vector $\alpha$-trimmed mean filter in any kinds of noise.

Image is degraded by several causes such as the process of acquisition, storage and transmission. To restore those images, many researches have been continued. Centrally methods to restore degraded image by AWGN(additive white gaussian noise) a.e mean filter and wiener filter. Especially, mean filter is superior in noise reduction of area that is a small change of luminosity. But mean filter brings about the effect smoothing edge components of the image, because it does'nt consider characteristics of the image. So in this paper we propose an image restoration method compounding respective images adding established weights, after filtering with mean filter and powerful wiener filter in both improvement of contrast and preservation of edge components.

The modern society is advancing from the analog era to the digital imaging era, and in line with the trend of this era, various imaging devices such as exploration robots, medical equipment, and CCTV are helping our daily life a lot. However, noises caused by various causes in digital images not only cause image deterioration, but also deteriorate and deteriorate image quality. A typical noise is AWGN, and types of filters to remove it include an average filter, a median filter, and an alpha-trimmed average filter, but these filters have a disadvantage in that they show somewhat inadequate noise reduction performance in the high frequency region. Therefore, in this paper, a modified spatial division average filter based on standard deviation is proposed to effectively reduce AWGN existing in the high frequency region of the image.

X-13-ARIMA (a popular time series analysis software) provides $3{\times}3$, $3{\times}5$, $3{\times}9$, $3{\times}15$ moving average filters for seasonal adjustment. However, there has been questions on their performance and the need for new filters is a constant topic due to Korean economic time series often containing higher irregularity and more various seasonality than other countries. In this study, two newly developed seasonal moving average filters, $3{\times}7$ and $3{\times}11$, are introduced. New filters were implemented in X-13-ARIMA and applied to 15 economic time series to demonstrate their suitability and reliability. The result shows that some series are more stable when using new seasonal moving average filters. More accurate time series analyses would be possible if newly proposed filters are used together with existing filters.

칼라 영상은 단색조의 영상에 비해 인간의 시각을 크게 향상시킨다. 따라서 칼라 영상 처리에 관한 연구는 매우 중요하다. 칼라 영상은 센서 잡음이나 채널 전송 에러에 의해 생기는 잡음에 의해 자주 오염되어진다. 이러한 칼라 잡음을 제거하기 위해 여러 형태의 필터들이 개발되어 왔는데 혼합된 잡음에서 벡터 $\alpha$-trimmed 평균 필터는 우수한 성능을 보였다. 그러나, 벡터 $\alpha$-trimmed 평균 필터는 필터링 과정이 영상의 전 영역에 걸쳐 균일하게 적용되어지기 때문에 윤곽선 이동이 일어나 blurring 현상이 심하게 나타나는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 윤곽선 영역과 smooth 영역을 구분한 뒤 각 영역에 적합한 선택적인 필터링을 하는 조건적인 퍼지 클러스터 필터를 제안하였고 제안된 조건적인 퍼지 클러스터 필터는 기존의 벡터 $\alpha$-trimmed 평균 필터에 비해 혼합된 잡음에서 우수한 성능을 보였다.

In this paper we analyze the convergence behavior of the recursive least rank (RLR) L-filter. The RLR L-filter is an order statistics filter, filter coefficients of which are the weights according to the order of magnitude of inputs. And RLR L-filter is a non-linear adaptive filter, that uses RLR algorithm for coefficient updating. The RLR algorithm is a non-linear adaptive algorithm based on rank estimates in Robust statistics. The mean and mean-squared convergence behavior of the RLR L-filter is examined with variable step-sizes. The RLR L-filter adapts the median filter type to the heavy-tailed distribution function of impulse noise, and adapts the average filter type to Gaussian noises.

Color image is more effective than gray one in human visual perception. Therefore, color image processing becomes important area. Color images are often corrupted by noises due to the input sensor, channel transmission errors and so on. Some filtering techniques such as vector median, mean filter, and vector $\alpha-trimmed$ mean filter have been used for color noise removal. Among them, vector $\alpha-trimmed$ mean filter gave the best performance in the mixed color noise. But, there are edge shift and blurring effect because vector $\alpha-trimmed$ mean filter is uniformly processed across the image. So, we proposed a conditional fuzzy cluster filter to improve this problems. Simulation results showed that the proposed scheme improves the NCD measure and visual quality over the conventional vector $\alpha-trimmed$ mean filter in the mixed color noise.

Maritime object detection systems, which detects small maritime obstacles such as fish farm buoys and visualizes distance and direction, is equipped with a 3-axis gimbal to compensate for errors caused by hull motion, but there is a limit to distance error corrections necessitated by the vertical movement of the camera and the maritime object due to wave motions. Therefore, in this study, the distance error of maritime object detection systems caused by the movement of the water surface according to the external environment is analyzed and corrected using average filter and moving average filter. Random numbers following a Gaussian standard normal distribution were added to or subtracted from the image coordinates to reproduce the rise or fall of the buoy under irregular waves. The distance calculated according to the change of image coordinates, the predicted distance through the average filter and the moving average filter, and the actual distance measured by laser distance meter were compared. In phases 1 and 2, the error rate increased to a maximum of 98.5% due to the changes of image coordinates due to irregular waves, but the error rate decreased to 16.3% with the moving average filter. This error correction capability was better than with the average filter, but there was a limit due to failure to respond to the distance change. Therefore, it is considered that use of the moving average filter to correct the distance error of the maritime object detection system will enhance responses to the real-time distance change and greatly improve the error rate.

본 논문에서는 X-Ray 영상에서 발 뼈의 골절 영역을 분석 및 진단하기 위한 전단계로서 X-Ray 영상에서 뼈와 피부 영역을 분할하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 X-Ray 영상의 피부 영역과 발 뼈 영역을 분할하기 위해 가우시안 필터를 적용하여 DOG 영상을 생성한다. 그러나 기존의 가우시안 필터는 정적으로 적용되기 때문에 영상을 촬영하는 부위와 각도에 따라 영상의 특성이 달라지는 X-Ray 영상에 적용하기에 부적합하다. 따라서 부위와 각도에 따라 영상의 특성 변화에 민감하지 않는 동적 가우시안 필터를 제안한다. 실험 결과에서는 제안하는 동적 가우시안 필터와 기존의 정적인 가우시안 필터를 각각 적용하여 생성된 DOG 영상에 대해서 발 뼈 영역과 피부 영역을 분할하고, 효율성을 TPR과 특이도로 분석한 결과, 제안된 동적 가우시안 필터를 적용한 방법이 정적 가우시안 필터보다 평균적으로 TPR는 0.12%와 특이도는 평균적으로 0.36%가 개선된 것을 확인하였다.

수위자료는 기초 수문자료의 하나로서 자료 수집시 이에 대한 품질관리가 반드시 필요하다. 이 과정에서 이상치 여부를 점검하여 이상치로 확인된 경우 소거하거나 수정하는 등의 처리를 해야 한다. 수위자료의 이상치 점검에는 다양한 방법이 있지만 아직 일반화된 방법은 없다. 이에 다양한 방법에 대한 적용가능성을 평가해 볼 필요가 있다. Hampel 필터는 신호처리 시 신호의 이상치를 찾아 보완하려고 개발된 필터이다. 시계열자료에서 이상치를 감지하는 고전적인 접근 방법은 이동평균과 이동표준편차를 이용하는 것이지만 고전적인 이동평균과 이동표준편차는 이상치의 영향을 받는다. 이에 따라 이상치의 추정이 어렵게 되는 경우가 있다. 이에 반하여 Hampel 필터는 이동평균 및 이동표준편차 대신 중앙값과 중앙값 절대편차(Median Absolute Deviation; MAD)를 이용함으로써 더 나은 결과를 얻을 수 있다. Hampel 필터는 신호처리용으로 개발되었기 때문에 부드러운 Sine 곡선에 적합할 것으로 보이며, 이미 하천수위 변화보다는 부드러운 변화를 보이는 저수지수위의 이상치를 점검하기 위해 사용되고 있다. 하지만 변화가 급격하고 첨두가 발생하는 하천의 수위에 대해서도 적용할 수 있는지에 대해서는 평가가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 신호처리에 사용되는 Hampel 필터를 이용하여 수위자료의 이상치 점검에 적용하고 과거 자료에 기록된 실제 이상치 자료와 비교하여 그 성능을 평가해 보았다.
