This paper proposes a new reconstruction method of high-resolution facial image from a low-resolution facial image based on top-down machine learning and recursive error back-projection. A face is represented by a linear combination of prototypes of shape and that of texture. With the shape and texture information of each pixel in a given low-resolution facial image, we can estimate optimal coefficients for a linear combination of prototypes of shape and those that of texture by solving least square minimizations. Then high-resolution facial image can be obtained by using the optimal coefficients for linear combination of the high-resolution prototypes. In addition, a recursive error back-projection procedure is applied to improve the reconstruction accuracy of high-resolution facial image. The encouraging results of the proposed method show that our method can be used to improve the performance of the face recognition by applying our method to reconstruct high-resolution facial images from low-resolution images captured at a distance.

This paper presents a superresolution restoration technique that can restore high-resolution images from differently blurred low resolution images rather than using the motion information between low-resolution images. In order to restore the super-resolution image the rotatable aperture mask lens system is proposed. The proposed technique does not need to estimate point spread function at each frame. In addition, it does not require image registration because there is no global translational motion between low resolution images. By using a rotatable rectangular aperture, two consecutive captured images provide sufficiently exclusive information for superresolution. Therefore, the proposed method can reduce the registration error between the low-resolution image as well as the calculation amount for superresolution restoration. The existing lens system of the camera can be extended to obtain a superresolution image by only adding an rotatable rectangular aperture mask. Finally, in order to verify the performance of the proposed system, experimental results are performed. By comparing with the existing superresolution methods, the proposed method showed the significant improvements in the sense of spatial resolution.

As 3D cell culture has recently become possible, it has been able to observe a 3D shape of cell and volume. Generally, 3D information of a cell should be observed with a special microscope such as a confocal microscope or an electron microscope. However, a confocal microscope is more expensive than a conventional microscope and takes longer time to capture images. Therefore, there is a need for a method that can reconstruct the 3D shape of cells using a common microscope. In this paper, we propose a method of reconstructing 3D cells using the focus estimator value from multi-focal fluorescence images of cells. Initially, 3D cultured cells are captured with an optical microscope by changing the focus. Then the approximate position of the cells is assigned as ROI (Region Of Interest) using the circular Hough transform in the images. The MSBF (Modified Sliding Band Filter) is applied to the obtained ROI to extract the outlines of the cell clusters, and the focus estimator values are computed based on the extracted outlines. Using the computed focus estimator values and the numerical aperture (NA) of the microscope, we extract the outline of the cell cluster considering the depth and reconstruct the cells into 3D based on the extracted outline. The reconstruction results are examined by comparing with the combined in-focus portions of the cell images.

For the purpose of evaluating the restoration effect of vegetation, in this study, the areas where vegetation was restored had been monitored for 6 years, from 2008 to 2013. The areas were restored through some techniques by utilizing forest resources and nearby forest resources: biotope restoration method, forest topsoil paving method and small diameter trees planting method. Biotope restoration method is indicated the most similar properties to the existing natural forest just after they were restored because the forest likely to be deteriorated was transplanted. Forest topsoil paving method is expected that long-time will be taken for plants to grow to form the tree layer. However, the method is expected to acquire high restore the places of empty lands such as cutting areas. Community planting method is coverage can be increased for short time, relying on the sizes of planted trees, and the tree layer can be formed. Consequently, this method is expected to create high effect if the sizes of trees are considered after the right judgement of candidate site for restoration. This study is meaningful in that each type of restoration is monitored to observe the change of triggered by the succession process to forest. The study results can play as the reference data which can be utilized and applied to the area requiring vegetation restoration or to the area facing the damage of forest resources.

최근 들어 국내외에서는 하천환경 및 생태서식처 기능을 갖는 자연형 하천으로의 복원에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 하천복원의 범주에서 하천 내 설치되는 수공구조물에 대한 중요성이 많이 언급 되고 있는데 그 중 대표적인 것으로 수제를 들 수 있다. 하천 내 설치하는 수제(groyne)는 제방보호 및 유로변경의 목적으로 하천내에 시공되는 구조물 중의 하나로서 하천복원과정에 있어 필수불가결한 구조물 중의 하나로 인식되고 있다. 근래에 들어 경제성 및 환경성을 갖는 수제에 대한 연구로 변형수제에 대한 연구들이 진행 되고 있는데 변형수제의 대표적인 형상으로는 L형, T형 수제 및 굴절, 열쇠형 수제 등이 있다. 각각의 수제들은 그 형상에 따라 수제주변에서 국부적인 흐름구조가 다르게 발생하게 된다. 이러한 수제들은 수제 고유의 형태에 대한 흐름특성 연구들이 주로 이루어지고 있는 반면에 수제의 투영길이에 대한비교는 수행되지 않았다. 즉 동일한 수제길이를 갖더라도 설치각이나 형태에 따라 투영면적에 대한 유수단면적의 변화가 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 그림과 같이 상향 또는 하향굴절수제를 대상으로 팔길이(AL)의 변화를 주었으며, 팔길이 변화로 인해 발생되는 투영길이(L')와 동일한 길이를 갖는 연직수제를 제작하여 흐름특성을 관측하고 비교하여 보았다. 수제는 군집 형태로 건설되는 것이 일반적이나 여러 가지 형태의 조합으로 건설되기도 하는데 이러한 투영길이에 대한 비교는 수제설계 시 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

A chimi(a roof ridge decoration) excavated from the Busosan Temple Site in Buyeo was restored in 1978 at the Buyeo Museum. The gypsum restoration material had deteriorated over time and part of it was seriously damaged and unable to bear the weight of the chimi. The chimi features traces of emergency treatment revealing that the inside of the body and some portions of the tail were reinforced several times using epoxy resin. A condition survey performed in preparation for its transfer for an exhibition found the lower body and wings of the chimi to be highly vulnerable and it was determined that the chimi needed further restoration. The dismantling of the chimi for restoration revealed several elements that provide clues to the production techniques applied by its makers, so they were subjected to inspection. This study explores the production techniques used in the chimi from the Busosan Temple Site that were revealed during the process of dismantling it for restoration. The chimi was inspected using 3D scanning and its rigid vertical shape was restored to a natural form based on the production techniques identified during the dismantling process. The existing restoration material was replaced to improve durability. 3D printed elements were produced based on 3D modelling and were joined to the original chimi to correct its shape and fill in the missing parts, restoring the chimi to its original appearance.

국내 하천은 산업화와 도시화로 인하여 하천수가 오염되고, 치수를 위한 인공적, 획일적인 하천개수가 보편화 되었다. 그 결과 본래 하천이 가지고 있던 생물서식처 기능과 자정, 친수 기능 등 하천환경 기능이 점차 상실되었고, 하천형태도 변형되었다. 이와 같은 자연적인 변화와 더불어 준설, 수리구조물 설치 등 인위적인 변화에 의하여 흐름 및 유사이송 양상이 바뀌어 하상변동이 초래되기도 한다. 하상변동은 하천 시설물의 안정, 홍수위 및 지하수위 변화, 하천부지의 변화 등 하천관리에 중대한 영향을 미치고, 또한 수생태계의 서식환경에 영향을 미치기 때문에 하천을 복원하는데 있어 중요한 고려사항이 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 청미천 복원 사업 구간에 대하여 장기하상변동 모의를 수행하고 하도 안정성을 평가하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 구하도 복원구간에서 새롭게 수행된 측량데이터를 토대로 지형자료를 구축하였으며, 2차원 하상변동 모의가 가능한 CCHE2D 모형을 이용하여 장기하상변동 모의를 실시하였다. 또한 구하도 복원의 하천지형학적 영향을 평가하기 위하여 구하도를 복원하지 않았을 경우의 시나리오를 도입하여 비교하고 그 결과를 분석하였다.

Old films or photographs usually have damages from physical or chemical effects, and the damage and digitalization make stain, scratch, scribbling, noise, and digital drop out in frames. Damages include global damage and local damage, and it is well known that local damage restoration is a main factor for improving image quality. Previous researches have focused on impairment localization (esp. for line scratch impairments) and restoration techniques for line scratch, dirt, blob, and intentional scratch. Inpainting is a key technique using partial derivatives to restore damages in images. It does not show good quality for the complex images because it is based on finite order for partial derivatives, and it takes much time complexity. In this paper, we present a modified inpainting scheme, where we use Sobel edge operator's and angle to compute isophotes, and compare our scheme with Bertalmio's scheme. We experiment our scheme with two old Korean films, and Simulation results show that our scheme requires smaller time complexity than Bertalmio's scheme with comparable reconstructed image quality.
