  • 이 논문에서는 wavelet과 sobel filter를 사용하여 영상의 객관적인 평가 점수를 계산하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 orthogonal wavelet 변환을 기초로 하고 있으며 원본 영상과 처리된 영상 데이터가 모두 가용하다는 것을 전제로 한다. Wavelet을 이용해 주파수에 따라 분할된 영상 정보를 이용해 각각의 부영역 별 차영상을 획득하고 이 획득된 영상의 에너지를 이용해 화질 평가 수치를 계산한다. 부영역 별로 획득된 영상은 일정한 크기의 블록으로 분할되어 동일한 블록 내에서 가용한 영상의 특징에 관한 정보(contrast, edge 영역의 분포 정도) 벡터와 내적하여 새로운 특징 벡터로 사용되고, 이 특징 벡터의 가중치를 최적화하여 높은 상관도의 화질평가 점수를 산출하게 된다.

  • In this paper, the subjective video quality assessment of the content quality was to examine by the assessors about the three content quality of HD, Up-scaling UHD, 4K UHD Native that is currently broadcasted. The comparative assessment was conducted using three types of TV sets, 55, 65, 75 inches, at a distance of 2.5 meters which is the distance of watching TV in general households. Among the participants who took part in the video quality evaluating experiment and the questionnaire survey, the answering data of the final 169 persons were adopted after removing the data of 4 persons who answered inadequately in the evaluation of the video quality. The effects of gender, preference of program genre, size of TV sets were analyzed statistically using SPSS 25.0 analysis package. In addition to these, the objective video quality assessment through the measuring instrument was performed, and compared with the results of subjective video quality assessment.

  • In this paper, a no-reference perceptual metric is proposed for image quality assessment. It measures the amount of overall blockiness and blurring of the image and evaluates the amount of ringing, staircase, and mosaic noises around the strong edges. Finally, the individual scores are combined by a fuzzy integral to generate the final quality score of the image. The quality scores obtained by the proposed algorithm show strong relationship with the MOS(Mean Opinion Score) values by experts.

  • For objective assessment of stereoscopic 3D image quality, we measure quality of left and right image with 2D image quality measurement method. However, this method is inconvenient because that we have to measure quality of left and right image individually. Therefore we propose a method of stereoscopic 3D image quality assessment using one overlaid image with left and right image. Using this method, One can measure quality of stereoscopic 3D image more easily and quickly.

  • 본고에서는 ITU-T P.910 권고사항을 이용하여 영상 화질의 주관적 평가를 실시하였다. 최악의 평가 결과의 경우를 고려하더라도 스마트폰 등의 무선단말기에서는 500kbps 이상으로 부호화할 경우 원본의 영상과 뚜렷한 차이를 인지하지 못하는 것으로 분석되었으며, 원본영상 대비 테스트 영상의 주관적/객관적 화질평가 결과는 시각적으로 원본 영상과 테스트 영상 간의 품질 차이를 인지하지 못하는 수준인 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같은 점을 고려할 때 입력 영상 및 출력 영상 그리고 대역폭 관계를 고려하여 타깃 비트 레이트(target bitrate)를 적절하게 설정하는 것이 필요하다. 비트 레이트가 증가함에 따라 느끼는 이용자들의 주관적인 만족도는 점차 감소하지만, 네트워크 비용은 체증하기 때문에 적절한 수준의 비트 레이트 설정이 사회적으로 바람직할 수 있다.

  • Image scaling is used for a variety of real-life applications. In order to evaluate the performance of transform functions, the image quality are compared together before and after processing. For the objective evaluation of the transform functions, the exact criterion of image quality is required, and various aspects approaches are practically performed. However, few researches have been conducted on image quality measurement considering the position of pixels that are skipped or newly generated in the process of the image scaling. Therefore this paper focuses on the objective image quality measurement for positions of skipped or estimated pixels in the image scaling. The proposed method generated new image quality measure considering the positional changes using a conventional measure and evaluated sensitivity about positional changes. Through this experiments, it is observed that conventional image quality measurement is definitely affected by positional changes of a skipped and estimated pixels. It is also confirmed that the proposed method is an objective criterion to represent image quality for positional changes of skipped or estimated pixels. The proposed method can be used as a criterion to evaluate the performance of image restoration or enhancement functions.

  • This study analysed the effectiveness of aluminium(Al) filter in the added compound filtration for the removal of characteristic radiation by energy spectrum and image evaluation. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm copper with and without 1 mm Al were evaluated. The energy spectrum was measured using the GATE and evaluated separately by each energy. Image quality was evaluated by PSNR, MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR and qualitative analysis was performed by seven items for resolution and contrast from chest x-ray criteria of National Cancer Screening and Cardiovascular evaluation table. In the analysis of the quality of the energy per photon spectrum with the exception of a low energy region, without Al were superior in all area. PSNR MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR and qualitative analysis were the same or slightly better. PSNR was over 30 dB and all significant and the p>0.05 in the T-test of qualitative analysis. The energy spectrum and image quality have little difference between before and after use of Al filter. Therefore, it is effective to use the Al filter for the radiation dose management with the compensation capability of DR system.

  • This study analysed the effectiveness of aluminium(Al) filter in the added compound filtration for the removal of characteristic radiation from high atomic number material by DQE and image evaluation. 1mm Al was applied to each 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm copper and befere and after use were evaluated. Beam quality and DQE were tested by IEC regulations and image quality was evaluated by PSNR, MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR and qualitative analysis was performed by 7 items for resolution and contrast from chest x-ray criteria of national cancer checkup. MTF 10 and 50% were the same by 4.6, 2.54 cycle/mm and NPS, DQE, PSNR MAE, MSE, CNR, SNR and qualitative analysis were all the same or slightly better when Al was not used. PSNR is over 30dB and all significant and at the qualitative analysis, the p-value of t-test was over 0.05. The DQE and image quality evaluation have little difference between before and after use of Al filter and it is effective to use the Al filter for the reduction of skin dose by removal of characteristic radiation.

  • In this paper, we perform subjective visual quality assessments on UHD video for UHD TV services and analyze the assessment results. Demands for video services have been increased with availabilities of DTV, Internet and personal media equipments. With this trend, the demands for high definition video have also been increasing. Currently, 2K-HD ($1920{\times}1080$) video have been widely consumed over DTV, DVD, digital camcoders, security cameras and other multimedia terminals in various types, and recently digital cinema contents of 4K-UHD($3840{\times}2160$) have been popularly produced and the cameras, beam projects, display panels that support for 4K-UHD video start to come out into multimedia markets. Also it is expected that 4K-UHD service will appear soon in broadcasting and telecommunications environments. Therefore, in this paper, subjective assessments of visual quality on resolutions, color formats, frame rates and compression rates have been carried to provide basis information for standardization of signal specification of UHD video and viewing environments for future UHDTV. As the analysis on the assessments, UHD video exhibits better subjective visual quality than HD by the evaluators. Also, the 4K-UHD test sequences in YUV444 shows better subjective visual quality than the 4K-UHD test sequences in YUV422 and YUV420, but there is little perceptual difference on 4K-UHD test sequences between YUV422 and YUV420 formats. For the comparison between different frame rates, 4K-UHD test sequences of 60fps gives better subjective visual quality than those of 30fps. For bit-depth comparison, HD test sequences in 10-bit depth were little differentiated from those in 8-bit depth in subject visual quality assessment. Lastly, the larger the PSNR values of the reconstructed 4K-UHD test sequences are, the higher the subjective visual quality is. Against the viewing distances, the differences among encoded 4K-UHD test sequences were less distinguished in longer distances from the display.
