본 논문은 보행중인 시각장애인에 장착된 카메라로부터 획득한 영상에서 보도와 차도 영역을 구분하기 위한 영역분할 기법과 질감 특징추출 기법에 대해 제안한다. 영상내의 허프 변환을 이용한 라인검출을 통해 도로 경계선을 검출하고, 분할된 영역을 원근에 따라 3 레벨로 구분하여 질감 특징성분을 추출함으로써 보도와 차도영역을 분리한다. 보도블럭이 가지는 복잡하고 다양한 특성의 패턴과 차도의 균일한 질감을 가진 영역의 특성을 비교하기 위하여 회전에 강건한 LBP, GLCM 질감 특징성분들을 이용함으로써 두 영역을 구분하였다. 제안된 방법은 낮과 밤 영상에 대해 실험한 결과 조도의 변화에 강건하게 영역을 분리할 수 있었고, 또한 보행자와 장애물이 많은 영상에서도 회전이나 폐색에 관계없이 영역 분리가 가능함을 검증하였다.

In this paper, we proposed stereo matching algorithm by dynamic programming with edges emphasized. Existing algorithms show blur generally at depth discontinuities owing to smoothness constraint and non-existence of matching pixel in occlusion regions. Also it accompanies matching error by lackness of matching information in the untextured regions. This paper defines new cost function to make up for the problems occurred to existing algorithms. It is possible through deriving matching of edges in left and right images to be carried out between edge regions anf deriving that in the other regions to be peformed between the other regions. In case of the possibility that edges can be Produced in a large amount, matching between edge information adds weight to cost function in proportion to Path distance. Proposed algorithm was applied to various images obtained by convergent camera model as well as parallel camera model. As the result, proposed algorithm showed improved performance in the aspect of matching error and processing in the occlusion regions compared to existing algorithms. Also it could improve blur especially in discontinuity regions.

스테레오 정합을 통해 산출되는 초기 시차 영상의 정합 정확도는 고주파 및 잡음 성분에 의해 감소될 수 있다. 또한, 폐색 및 질감이 없는 영역에서 잘못된 정합 결과가 산출됨으로 인해 정합 정확도가 감소될 수 있다. 정합 정확도를 향상시키기 위해 시차 정제에 관한 선행 연구들이 수행되었지만 정제 과정을 통한 정합 정확도 성능과 처리 속도간 트레이드-오프가 존재한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 종래 시차 정제 방법 대비 향상된 처리 속도와 함께 높은 시차 정제 성능을 갖는 분리형 중앙-최댓값 필터를 제안한다. 제안하는 방법의 정제 성능 및 평균 처리 시간을 객관적으로 평가하기 위해 KITTI 2015 stereo benchmark 데이터셋을 사용하였다. 제안하는 방법의 평균 오차율은 비폐색 및 폐색 조건에서 종래 방법 대비 각각 최소 25.61% 및 23.68% 감소되었다. 또한, 제안하는 방법의 처리 속도는 종래 방법 대비 최소 13.29% 향상되었다. 따라서 제안하는 방법은 빠른 처리 속도 및 높은 정확도 성능을 요구하는 스테레오 비전 시스템에 활용될 수 있다.

Face detection refers to the process extracting facial regions in an input image, which can improve speed and accuracy of recognition or authorization system, and has diverse applicability. Since conventional works have tried to detect faces based on the whole shape of faces, its detection performance can be degraded by occlusion made with accessories or parts of body. In this paper we propose a method combining local feature descriptors and probability modeling in order to detect partially occluded face effectively. In training stage, we represent an image as a set of local feature descriptors and estimate a statistical model for normal faces. When the test image is given, we find a region that is most similar to face using our face model constructed in training stage. According to experimental results with benchmark data set, we confirmed the effect of proposed method on detecting partially occluded face.

본 논문에서는 computer-aided analysis 의 일환으로 X-ray 심혈관 조영도를 이용하여 관상동맥의 구조를 보여주는 방법에 대해 제시하고자 한다. 관상동맥 폐색증 환자들에게 시술되는 스텐트 삽입 시술이나 관상동맥 우회로 시술을 할 때에는 X-ray 의 조영 영상이 매우 중요한 시술의 기준이 되고 있으며, 조영 영상에서 혈관을 빠르고 정확하게 인식하는 것은 시술의 필수 조건이다. 이러한 시술중의 혈관구조 인식을 돕기 위하여 본 논문에서는 심혈관 조영 영상으로부터 관상동맥의 골격을 추출하기 위한 방법을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 혈관 구조 추출을 위하여 3 단계 알고리즘을 제시한다. 첫번째 단계에서는 조영도에서 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 동질영역을 블러링할 수 있는 speckle reducing anisotropic diffusion 을 이용한 이미지 필터링을 수행한다. 이 필터링은 영상내 잡음을 제거하고 혈관의 경계선을 강화하여 정확한 영상인식을 가능하게 한다. 두번째 단계에서는 영상 내에서 보여지는 주요 혈관을 분할하는 것이다. 이 영상분할에는 canny edge detection 과 개선된 영역확장법(adaptive region growing)을 동시에 이용하는 복합적 분할기법이 수행된다. 세번째 단계에서는 형태학적 기법(Morphology)을 이용하여 분할결과의 부족한 부분을 보완하고 골격화를 수행하여 정확한 혈관 구조를 추출해낸다. 실험을 위해서는 정상인의 관상동맥 영상 뿐 아니라 혈관이 가늘어지는 폐색이 관찰되는 환자의 영상에 대해서도 실험하였다. 또한 논문에서 제시한 알고리즘에 대한 검증을 위하여 실험 결과들은 의료진의 감수를 거쳤다.

A depth image-based rendering (DIBR) technique is one of the rendering processes of virtual views with a color image and the corresponding depth map. The most important issue of DIBR is that the virtual view has no information at newly exposed areas, so called dis-occlusion. In this paper, we propose an intermediate view generation algorithm using the Kinect depth camera that utilizes the infrared structured light. After we capture a color image and its corresponding depth map, we pre-process the depth map. The pre-processed depth map is warped to the virtual viewpoint and filtered by median filtering to reduce the truncation error. Then, the color image is back-projected to the virtual viewpoint using the warped depth map. In order to fill out the remaining holes caused by dis-occlusion, we perform a background-based image in-painting operation. Finally, we obtain the synthesized image without any dis-occlusion. From experimental results, we have shown that the proposed algorithm generated very natural images in real-time.

This paper presents a method to extract objects in radiographic images where all the allowable combinations of segmented regions are compared to a target object using Fourier descriptor. In the object extraction for usual images, a main problem is occlusion. In radiographic images, there is an advantage that the shape of an object is not occluded by other objects. It is because radiographic images represent the amount of radiation penetrated through objects. Considering the property of no occlusion in radiographic images, the shape based descriptors can be very effective to find objects. After all, the proposed object extraction method consists of three steps of segmenting regions, finding all the combinations of the segmented regions, and matching the combinations to the shape of the target object. In finding the combinations, we reduce a lot of computations to remove unnecessary combinations before matching. In matching, we employ Fourier descriptor so that the proposed method is rotation and shift invariant. Additionally, shape normalization is adopted to be scale invariant. By experiments, we verify that the proposed method works well in extracting objects.

In In this paper, we proposed a new JPEG2000 codec using multiresolution-based rendering (MRBR) technique for video compression of 3-dimensional digital cinema. We introduced discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for stereoscopic image and stereo matching technique in the wavelet domain. The disparity was extracted using stereo matching and transmitted with the reference (left) image. Since the generated right image was degraded by the occlusion lesion, the residual image which is generated from difference between the original right image and the generated one was transmitted at the same tine. The disparity data was extracted using the dynamic programming method in the disparity domain. There is high correlation between the higher and lower subbands. Therefore we decreased the calculation amount and enhanced accuracy by restricting the search window and applying the disparity information generated from higher subband.

In this study, a cold flow test was carried out on a high-speed vehicle facility with a high-altitude environment simulator. Variable test was carried out according to the blockage ratio, angle, and length of the test model. It is confirmed that the blockage rate can be operated in the range of 40%, and that the model should be selected at an angle of 45 degrees or less. The variables of length are less dominant compared to the variables of blockage rate and angle. Through this, a database is obtained according to the parameters of the conical model of the high-speed vehicle test facility.

Optical flow is important not only for determining velocity and trajectory of the object but also for image segmentation and 3D information. The gradient-based method is mostly used to compute optical flow form image sequences, but it accomanies smoothing effect of velocity vectors. In this paper, an enhanced algorithm for computing optical flow using scalar edge to restrict is also applied to reduce errors both around motion boundary and in the occlusion region.
