허프 변환(Hough transform)은 영상에서 몇 개의 파라미터로 표현되는 기하학적 요소 추출을 위해 널리 사용되고 있는 방법 중 하나이다. 하지만 허프 변환은 영상의 한 픽셀이 허프 공간(Hough space)의 한 방정식에 대응되는 일대다 특성으로 인해 잡음에 민감한 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 잡음 민감성은 검출되는 직선의 개수뿐만이 아니라 검출된 직선의 품질에도 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 즉, 실제 직선에서 벗어난 직선이 검출되거나 하나의 실제 직선에 대해 여러 개의 직선이 검출되는 등의 직선 왜곡이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 직선 왜곡은 잡음 이외에도 허프 공간의 설정, 특히 각 해상도의 설정에 영향을 받는다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 허프 변환에서 발생하는 이러한 직선 왜곡을 분석하고, 잡음 민감성을 줄이기 위해 제안된 경계선 강도 허프 변환(Edge Strength Hough Transform, ESHT)에서 이러한 왜곡이 적게 발생함을 보인다. 또한 ESHT에서만 발생할 수 있는 왜곡을 분석하고 해결방안을 제시한다. 제시한 방법에 의해 직선의 왜곡이 감소하는 것은 실험 결과를 통해 확인할 수 있다.

Though the Hough transform(HT) is a well-known method for detecting analytical shape represented by a number of free parameters, the basic property of the HT, the one-to-many mapping from an image spare to a Hough space, causes the innate problem, the sensitivity to noise. This basic problem also deteriorates the quality of detected lines and makes the detected line deviated from the real one or generates some bogus, multiple lines where only one real line exists. The size of Hough space also affects the quality of detected lines. In this paper, we analyzed the line distortions in the traditional Hough transform and showed that the distortions are relieved in the edge strength Hough transform(ESHT), which is a modified HT. However the usage of expanded edge and edge strength in ESHT can cause some new line distortions which do not exist in the HT. These new ones can be solved by a proper setting of decreasing and broadening parameter values and the optimal values can be determined only by some pre-determined values. We also illustrated several examples to show the distortion-decreasing property of ESHT.

In this paper we derive an optimal Huffman code set with escape coding that miximizes coding efficiency for the Hangul text data. The Hangul code can be represented in the standard Wansung or Unicode format, and we can generate a set of Huffamn codes for both. The current Korean DT standard has not defined a Hangul compression algorithm which may be confronted with a serious data rate for the digital data broadcasting system Generation of the optimal Huffman code set is to solve the data transmission problem. A relevant PSIP structure for the DTB standard is also proposed As a result characters which have the probability of less than 0.0043 are escape coded, showing the optimum compression efficiency of 46%.

In this paper, we propose a decoding method using a balanced binary tree and a canonical Huffman tree for efficient decoding of Huffman codes. The balanced binary tree scheme reduces the number of searches by lowering the height of the tree and binary search. However, constructing a tree based on the value of the code instead of frequency of symbol is a drawback of the balanced binary tree. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a balanced binary tree is reconstructed according to the occurrence probability of symbols at each level of the tree and binary search is performed for each level. We minimize the number of searches using a canonical Huffman tree to find level of code to avoid searching sequentially from the top level to bottom level.

Though the Hough transform is a well-known method for detecting analytical shape represented by a number of free parameters, the basic property of the Hough transform, the one-to-many mapping from an image space to a Hough space, causes the innate problem, the sensitivity to noise. To remedy this problem, Edge Strength Hough Transform (ESHT) was proposed and proved to reduce the noise sensitivity. However the performance of ESHT depends on the size of a Hough space and image and some other parameters, which play an important role in ESHT and should be decided experimentally. In this paper, we derived a formula to decide decreasing parameter. Using the derived formulae, the decreasing parameter value can be decided only with the pre-determined values, the size of a Hough space and an image, which make it possible to decide them automatically.

The detection of geometric primitives from a digital image is one of the basic tasks in computer vision area and the Hough transform is a well-known method for detecting analytical shape represented by a number of free parameters. However the basic property of the Hough transform, the one-to-many mapping from an image space to a Hough space, causes the innate problem, the sensitivity to noise. In this paper, we proposed Edge Strength Hough Transform which uses edge strength to reduce the sensitivity to noise and proved the insensitivity using the ratio of peaks in a Mough space. We also experimented the proposed method on lines and got small number of peaks in a Hough space compared to traditional Hough transform, which supports the noise insensitivity of the proposed method.

To remedy this problem, Edge Strength Hough Transform (ESHT) was proposed and proved to reduce the noise sensitivity. However the performance of ESHT depends on the size of a Hough space and image and some other parameters which should be decided experimentally. In this paper, we derived formulae to decide 2 parameter values; decreasing parameter and broadening parameter, which play an important role in ESHT. Using the derived formulae, 2 parameter values can be decided only with the pre-determined values, the size of a Hough space and an image, which make it possible to decide them automatically. The experiments with different parameter values also support the result.

본 논문에서는 임베디드 시스템으로의 적용을 위한 균형이진트리 방식의 허프만 코딩 복호화 방법에 대하여 논한다. 그리고 구현된 전체 시스템의 간단한 코드 최적화(code optimization)를 추가하여 시스템 전체의 처리 속도를 감소시키고자 하였다. 본문에서는 구현된 복호화 성능 향상의 정확한 측정을 위하여 하드웨어 시뮬레이터를 사용했다. 이를 통해서 실질적인 환경에서 어느 정도의 duration으로 동작될 수 있는지, 그리고 해당 환경에서 얼마나 성능을 향상시킬 수 있을지를 비교적 정확하게 판단할 수 있도록 했다. 본문의 마지막에 명시된 대로, 최적화의 결과로, 허프만 코드를 표에서 찾는 기존의 방법에 비하여, 복호화 부분과 복호화 부분을 제외한 시스템 코드 최적화 각각 36%, 2%의 duration 횟수의 감소를 확인할 수 있었다.

The security of data in network is provided by encryption. Selective encryption is a recent approach to reduce the computational cost and complexity for large file size data such as image and video. This paper describes techniques to encrypt Huffman code and discusses the performance of proposed scheme. We propose a simple encryption technique applicable to the Huffman code and study effectiveness of encryption against insecure channel. Our scheme combine encryption process and compression process, and it can reduce processing time for encryption and compression by combining two processes.

The selective encryption scheme for canonical Huffman codes using the inversion of bit values is proposed. The symbols are divided into blocks of a certain size, and each symbol in the block is compressed by canonical Huffman coding. Blocks are determined to be sent in the original code or encrypted form. The encryption block inverts the values of the whole bits, and bits of block that do not encrypt are not inverted. Those compressed data are transmitted with the encryption information. It is possible to decrypt the compressed data on the receiving side using the encryption information and compressed data.
