This paper proposes a new real-time 2-D convolver filter architecture wihtout using any multiplier. To meet the massive amount of computations for real-time image processing, several commercial 2-D convolver chips have many multipliers occupying large VLSI area. Te proposed architecture using only one shift-and-accumulator can reduce the chip size by more than 70% of commercial 2-D convolver filter chips and can meet the real-time image processing srequirement, i.e., the standard of CCIR601. In addition, the proposed chip can be used for not only 2-D image processing but also 1-D signal processing and has bood scalability for higher speed applications. We have simulated the architecture by using VHDL models and have performed logic synthesis. We used the samsung SOG cell library (KG60K) and verified completely function and timing simulations. The implemented filter chip consists of only 3,893 gates, operates at 125 MHz and can meet the real-time image processing requirement, that is, 720*480 pixels per frame and 30 frames per second (10.4 mpixels/second).

These days, many image processing techniques have been studied for effective image compression. Among those, 2D image filtering is widely used for 2D image processing. The 2D image filtering can be implemented by performing ID linear filtering separately in the direction of horizontal and vertical. Efficiency of image compression depends on what filtering method is used. Generally, circular convolution is widely used in the 2D image filtering for image processing. However it doesn't consider correlations at the region of image boundary, therefore filtering can not be performed effectively. To solve this problem. I proposed new convolution technique using Symmetric-Mirroring convolution, satisfying the 'alias-free' and 'error-free' requirement in the reconstructed image. This method could provide more effective performance than former compression methods. Because it used very high correlative data when performed at the boundary region. In this paper, pre-processing filtering in H.264 codec was adopted to analyze efficiency of proposed filtering technique, and the simulator developed by Matlab language was used to examine the performance of the proposed method.

The three dimensional(3D) reconstruction from two dimensional(2D) image data is using in many fields such as RPD(Rapid Product Development) and reverse engineering. In this paper, the main step of 3D reconstruction is comprised of two steps : image processing step and B-spline surface approximation step. In the image processing step, feature points of each cross-section are obtained by means of several image processing technologies. In the B-spline surface approximation step, using the data of feature points obtained in the image processing step, the control points of B-spline surface are obtained, which are used for IGES file of 3D CAD model.

A three-dimensional image capturing device and its signal processing algorithm and apparatus are presented. Three dimensional information is one of emerging differentiators that provides consumers with more realistic and immersive experiences in user interface, game, 3D-virtual reality, and 3D display. It has the depth information of a scene together with conventional color image so that full-information of real life that human eyes experience can be captured, recorded and reproduced. 20 Mega-Hertz-switching high speed image shutter device for 3D image capturing and its application to system prototype are presented[1,2]. For 3D image capturing, the system utilizes Time-of-Flight (TOF) principle by means of 20MHz high-speed micro-optical image modulator, so called 'optical resonator'. The high speed image modulation is obtained using the electro-optic operation of the multi-layer stacked structure having diffractive mirrors and optical resonance cavity which maximizes the magnitude of optical modulation[3,4]. The optical resonator is specially designed and fabricated realizing low resistance-capacitance cell structures having small RC-time constant. The optical shutter is positioned in front of a standard high resolution CMOS image sensor and modulates the IR image reflected from the object to capture a depth image (Figure 1). Suggested novel optical resonator enables capturing of a full HD depth image with depth accuracy of mm-scale, which is the largest depth image resolution among the-state-of-the-arts, which have been limited up to VGA. The 3D camera prototype realizes color/depth concurrent sensing optical architecture to capture 14Mp color and full HD depth images, simultaneously (Figure 2,3). The resulting high definition color/depth image and its capturing device have crucial impact on 3D business eco-system in IT industry especially as 3D image sensing means in the fields of 3D camera, gesture recognition, user interface, and 3D display. This paper presents MEMS-based optical resonator design, fabrication, 3D camera system prototype and signal processing algorithms.

In this paper, a new method for identification of two-dimensional(2D) impulse response is presented. As is well known, identification of 2D impulse response is an important and necessary theme for image processing or signal processing. Here, the authors extend M-transform which has been proposed by some of the authors to 2D case where an image is used instead of signal, and M-array is used instead of M-sequence. Firstly, we show that 2D impulse response can be obtained by use of M-array. Next 2D M-transform is defined where any 2D image can be considered to be the output of 2D filter whose input is 2D M-array. Simulation results show the effectiveness of identification of 2D impulse response by either using M-array or by 2D M-transform.

Design is important in the IT, digital appliance, and auto industries. Aesthetic and art images are being applied for better design satisfaction of the products. Various artistic image patterns are used to satisfy demand of design, but it takes much lead-time and effort to implement them for making dies and molds. In this paper, a hybrid reverse engineering method generating accurate 3D engraving models from 2D art images is proposed through image processing, 3D reconstruction, and NURBS interpolation methods. In order to generate the 3D model from the 2D artistic image, cloud points with z-depth are extracted according to intensity values of the image. An adaptive median filter and harmonic filter are used to obtain the intensity values accurately. NURBS surfaces are generated through the interpolation of the cloud points. Performance of the developed system is to be confirmed through the realization of Mona Lisa and Golden Gate Bridge.

Image-based 3D object detection is one of the important and difficult problems in autonomous driving and robotics, and aims to find and represent the location, dimension and orientation of the object of interest. It generates three dimensional (3D) bounding boxes with only 2D images obtained from cameras, so there is no need for devices that provide accurate depth information such as LiDAR or Radar. Image-based methods can be divided into three main categories: monocular, stereo, and multi-view 3D object detection. In this paper, we investigate the recent state-of-the-art models of the above three categories. In the multi-view 3D object detection, which appeared together with the release of the new benchmark datasets, NuScenes and Waymo, we discuss the differences from the existing monocular and stereo methods. Also, we analyze their performance and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of them. Finally, we conclude the remaining challenges and a future direction in this field.
