In this paper, we present background modeling method based on Gaussian mixture model to subtract background for night-time video surveillance. In night-time video, it is hard work to distinguish the object from the background because a background pixel is similar to a object pixel. To solve this problem, we change the pixel of input frame to more advantageous value to make the Gaussian mixture model using scaled histogram stretching in preprocessing step. Using scaled pixel value of input frame, we then exploit GMM to find the ideal background pixelwisely. In case that the pixel of next frame is not included in any Gaussian, the matching test in old GMM method ignores the information of stored background by eliminating the Gaussian distribution with low weight. Therefore we consider the stacked data by applying the difference between the old mean and new pixel intensity to new mean instead of removing the Gaussian with low weight. Some experiments demonstrate that the proposed background modeling method shows the superiority of our algorithm effectively.

For imaging in positron emission tomography(PET), it is necessary to measure the position of the scintillation pixel interacting with the gamma rays incident on the detector. To this end, in the conventional system, a flood image of the scintillation pixel is obtained, the imaged area of each scintillation pixel is separated, and the position of the scintillation pixel is specified and acquired as a digital signal. In this study, a deep learning method was applied based on the signal formed by the photosensor of the detector, and a method was developed to directly acquire a digital signal without going through various procedures. DETECT2000 simulation was performed to verify this and evaluate the accuracy of position measurement. A detector was constructed using a 6 × 6 scintillation pixel array and a 4 × 4 photosensor, and a gamma ray event was generated at the center of the scintillation pixel and summed into four channels of signals through the Anger equation. After training the deep learning model using the acquired signal, the positions of gamma-ray events that occurred in different depth directions of the scintillation pixel were measured. The results showed accurate results at every scintillation pixel and position. When the method developed in this study is applied to the PET detector, it will be possible to measure the position of the scintillation pixel with a digital signal more conveniently.

In this paper, we introduce a modulation code design problem where best selection of two-dimensional codewords are determined to reduce two-dimensional (2D) Intersymbol Interference (ISI) and Interpage Interference (IPI), while when these codewords are randomly arranged on the storage, isolated pixel cannot be formed. Codeword selection problem and isolated pixel detection problem are formulated as integer program models and we develop a cutting plane algorithm where a valid cut is generated to remove current feasible solution to avoid isolated pixel by solving the isolated pixel detection subproblem. Using the proposed method, $4{\times}2$ 6/8 codewords with non-isolated pixel are found.

A line segment has a symmetrical property about its midpoint. With this symmetrical property for a line segment we have proposed a variant of Bresenham's line drawing algorithm that selects two pixels at the same time. It implies that bi-directional line drawing toward the midpoint of line segment from each-end be possible. Besiders, it can select two pixels using only one decision parameter, instead of two different parameters for each pixel. We also present a theoretical proof for the correctness of such a selection. Thus, we can reduce the time of generating line segment by approximately less than 5% compared to the Bresenham's method. Also, our experimental results show that the shape of line segment generated by the proposed approach is the exactly same as that of Bresenham's method.

In this paper, we propose a performance-enhanced object recognition by using nonlinear 3D correlator based on pixel restoration. In the proposed method, elemental images of the 3D target that are partially occluded by a foreground object are picked up and transformed into sub-images. By using the block-matching algorithm, the occluded target regions of each sub-image are estimated and removed. After that, the missing pixels in each sub-image are reestablished by using the pixel-restoration method. Finally, through the nonlinear cross-correlations between the reconstructed reference and the target plane images, the improved object recognition can be performed. To show the feasibility of the proposed method, some preliminary experiments are carried out and results are presented by comparing the conventional method.

In this paper, optical image encryption using integral imaging and pixel-scrambling technologies is proposed. In the encryption process, we use pixel scrambling to change the order of subsections into which the cover image is divided, and the utilize the integral imaging scheme to obtain the elemental image from the scrambled image. In order to achieve higher security, we reuse pixel scrambling to the elemental image. In the decryption process, we employ optical integral imaging reconstruction technique and inverse pixel scrambling methode. Computer simulation results prove the feasibility of the proposed method and robustness against data loss and noise.

TIn this paper, we propose a novel fuzzy stretching method that adopts a triangle type fuzzy membership function to control the highest and lowest brightness limit dynamically. As an essential procedure to enhance the brightness contrast, stretching is an important procedure in color image processing. While popular Ends-in Search stretching method should be provided fixed minimum and maximum brightness threshold from experience, our proposed method determines them dynamically by fuzzy membership functions. The minimum and maximum limit is determined by computing the lowest and highest pixel value according to the membership degree of our designed triangle type membership function. The experiment shows that the proposed method result in far less skewed histogram than those of Ends-in Search stretching thus successfully verifies its effectiveness.

Recently most of 3D graphics rendering Processors have the pixel cache storing depth data and color data to reduce the memory latency and the bandwidth requirement. In this paper, we propose the effective pixel cache for improving the performance of a rendering processor. The proposed cache system stores the depth data selectively based on the result of Z-test and the color data are stored into the auxiliary buffer. Simulation results show that the 16Kbyte proposed cache system provides better performance than the 32Kbyte conventional cache.

이 논문에서 제안한 ICA기반 피처추출 알고리즘은 다차원 영상에서 각 픽셀의 반사도 분광영역이 서로 다른 물체타입(목표피처와 배경피처)으로 이루어진 선형 혼합 분광영역으로 가정되는 픽셀에 대한 목표피처 탐지를 목적으로 한다. Landsat ETM+ 위성영상은 다차원 데이터구조로 이루어져 있으며, 영상에는 추출하고자하는 목표피처와 여러 종류의 배경피처들이 혼재한다. 이 논문에서는 목표피처(김양식장) 주변의 배경피처(갯뻘, 바닷물 등)들을 효과적으로 제거하기 위하여 목표피처의 픽셀 분광영역을 배경피처의 픽셀 분광영역으로 직교투영하게 된다. 픽셀내의 나머지 목표피처 분광영역의 양은 배경피처의 분광영역을 제거함으로써 추정하게 된다. 이 논문에서 제안한 ICA기반의 피처추출 방법의 우수성을 확인하기 위하여 Landsat ETM+ 위성영상에서 김양식장 피처를 추출하는데 적용하였다. 또한 피처추출 후 제거되지 않고 남아 있는 잡음(noise)정도와 피처추출 정확도 측면에서 전통적으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 최대우도 분류방법과 비교실험을 하였다. 결과적으로 이 논문에서 제안하는 방법이 목표피처 주변의 혼합분광영역에서 배경피처를 효과적으로 제거하여 추출하고자 하는 목표피처를 추출하는데 있어 우수한 탐지 성능을 보임을 알 수 있었다.

한글 문자 인식에 관한 연구는 통계적 방법과 구조적 방법, 신경 회로망 등 다양한 방법론이 제시되어 왔다. 그러나 한글은 영문이나 숫자에 비해 방대한 문자수와 복잡한 구조로 인하여 인식에 많은 어려움을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 한글을 가장 단순한 구조인 자음과 모음으로 분리한 뒤 각 개체의 픽셀 분포를 파악하고, 한글의 구조적 특징을 이용하여 자소의 행과 열에서의 peak값과 픽셀의 분포를 그룹으로 나누어 한글을 인식하는 방법을 제시한다.
