본 논문은 조명의 변화가 심한 연속영상에서 동적객체를 안정적으로 추출하기 위하여 색상강도 및 기울기 기반 배경모델을 구축하고 이를 이용하여 입력영상으로부터 동적 객체의 윤곽선을 안정적으로 추출하는 기법을 제시한다. 제안기법에서는 우선, 동적객체가 포함되지 않은 배경 연속영상의 HSI 컬러공간에서 색상(Hue) 강도와 색상 기울기에 대한 배경모델을 생성한다. 실시간으로 입력되는 동적 객체를 포함한 연속영상에 대하여 각 화소에 대한 색상(Hue)성분을 추출하고 이웃 화소와의 색상성분에 대한 기울기 크기를 계산한다. 이를 기구축된 배경모델과 비교하여 그 차분값이 일정 임계값을 초과하는 경우 동적객체의 윤곽선으로 판별한다. 제안 기법은 극심한 조명 변화에 강건하게 동적 객체의 윤곽정보를 실시간 추출하였다. 본 논문에서는 기존 RGB 기반 배경 모델링 기법을 적용한 경우와의 비교 실험을 통하여 제안 기법의 안정성을 보였다.

This study compared effects of spatial resolution ratio in image fusion by Korea Multi-Purpose SATellite 2 (KOMPSAT II), also known as Arirang-2. Image fusion techniques, also called pansharpening, are required to obtain color imagery with high spatial resolution imagery using panchromatic and multi-spectral images. The higher quality satellite images generated by an image fusion technique enable interpreters to produce better application results. Thus, image fusions categorized in 3 domains were applied to find out significantly improved fused images using KOMPSAT 2. In addition, all fused images were evaluated to satisfy both spectral and spatial quality to investigate an optimum fused image. Additionally, this research compared Pixel-Based Image Analysis (PBIA) with the GEOgraphic Object-Based Image Analysis (GEOBIA) to make better classification results. Specifically, a roof top of building was extracted by both image analysis approaches and was finally evaluated to obtain the best accurate result. This research, therefore, provides the effective use for very high resolution satellite imagery with image interpreter to be used for many applications such as coastal area, urban and regional planning.

Generally, it is essential to estimate exact disparity for the 3D modeling from stereo images. Because existing methods calculate disparities from a whole image, they require too much cimputational time and bring about the mismatching problem. In this article, using the characteristic that the disparity vectors in stereo images are distributed not equally in a whole image but only exist about the background and obhect, we do a wavelet transformation on stereo images and estimate coarse disparity fields from the reduced lowpass field using area-based method at first-step. From these coarse disparity vectors, we generate disparity histogram and then separate object from background area using it. Afterwards, we restore only object area to the original image and estimate dense and accurate disparity by our two-step pixel-based method which does not use pixel brightness but use second gradient. We also extract feature points from the separated object area and estimate depth information by applying disparity vectors and camera parameters. Finally, we generate 3D model using both feature points and their z coordinates. By using our proposed, we can considerably reduce the computation time and estimate the precise disparity through the additional pixel-based method using LOG filter. Furthermore, our proposed foreground/background method can solve the mismatching problem of existing Delaunay triangulation and generate accurate 3D model.

디지털 데이터의 저작권 보호를 위하여 최근 디지털 워터 마킹에 관하여 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 디지털 워터마킹이란 인간의 시각이나 청각이 인지할 수 없는 범위내에서 디지털 데이터의 값을 약간 변경함에 따라 워터마크라고 하는 저작권 정보를 몰래 삽입하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 주변 화소와의 차가 정해진 임계값을 넘는 화소에 워터마크를 집어 놓은 후, 유사성을 측정하여 워터마크를 검출하는 공간 영역 기반(spatial domain based) 워터마킹을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for pixel-based disparity estimation with reliability in the multi-view image. The proposed method estimates an initial disparity map using edge information of an image, and the initial disparity map is used for reducing the search range to estimate the disparity efficiently. Furthermore, disparity-mismatch on object boundaries and textureless-regions get reduced by adaptive block size. We generated intermediate-view images to evaluate the estimated disparity. Test results show that the proposed algorithm obtained $0.1{\sim}1.2dB$ enhanced PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio) compared to conventional block-based and pixel-based disparity estimation methods.

In this paper, we propose an efficient deinterlacing algorithm which is an edge dependent interpolation based on edge direction refinement. The conventional edge dependent interpolation algorithms have a visually better performance than any other Intra-field deinterlacing algorithms. However they are very sensitive to noise due to the failure of estimating edge direction. In order to exactly detect edge direction, our method detects edge direction of around interpolated pixel and refines the edge direction using weighted median filter. Simulation results have shown the efficacy of the proposed method with significant improvement over the previous methods in terms of the objective PSNR quality as well as the subjective image quality.

In this paper, we propose the random pixel sampling technique to solve the high computational complexity in the perceptual SSIM-based backlight dimming. Specifically, the proposed algorithm selects pixels in a total frame considering the pre-defined number, and generates the block by combining these pixels. Then, it estimates parameters, which are required in the SSIM calculation, in the combined block, and hence, it can reduce the computation time significantly. In the experimental results, the proposed algorithm reduced the average power consumption and computation time by up to 38.1776 % and 99.5828 %, respectively while preserving the average SSIM., compared with the conventional algorithm.

필드 워핑은 상대적으로 많은 연산량을 요구하는 것에 반해 제어선을 이용하여 워핑 결과를 좀 더 세밀하게 제어할 수 있는 것이 장점이다. 필드 영상 워핑 및 모핑의 동작 특성상, 국부적인 영상 확대와 축소 및 회전 등과 같은 다양한 기하학적인 변형이 복합적으로 발생하게 되는데 역방향 매핑 과정에서 소스 영상과 목적 영상의 화소가 정수 화소 단위로 대응되지 않을 경우, 목적 영상에 대응시킬 화소값을 산출하기 위해 적합한 영상 보간 기술이 필요하다. 다양한 보간 기술들 중에서 평균적으로 우수한 결과를 제공하는 양선형 보간이 보편적으로 사용되고 있으나, 이 보간 기술은 대각선 방향의 윤곽선 재현에 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 필드 워핑과 모핑을 위한 pseudomedian 필터 기반 영상보간법을 제안하고 주관적인 화질을 분석 평가함에 그 목적이 있다. 제안된 보간 방법은 양선형 보간과 윤곽선 재현에 우수한 특성을 보이는 pseudomedian 필터 보간을 효과적으로 결합한 것이다. 제안된 방법에 따르면 다른 보간 기법에 비해 상대적으로 자연스러운 워핑 및 모핑 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 방법의 타당성과 보편성을 검증하기 위해 서로 다른 분포 특성을 갖는 영상을 대상으로 주간적인 화질 측면에서 그 성능을 분석 평가하였다.

In this paper, we propose a practical method for hardware-accelerated rendering of the depth image-based representation(DIBR) of 3D graphic object using graphic processing unit(GPU). The proposed method overcomes the drawbacks of the conventional rendering, i.e. it is slow since it is hardly assisted by graphics hardware and surface lighting is static. Utilizing the new features of modem GPU and programmable shader support, we develop an efficient hardware-accelerating rendering algorithm of depth image-based 3D object. Surface rendering in response of varying illumination is performed inside the vertex shader while adaptive point splatting is performed inside the fragment shader. Experimental results show that the rendering speed increases considerably compared with the software-based rendering and the conventional OpenGL-based rendering method.
