본 논문에서는 낮은 해상도의 영상을 높은 해상도의 영상으로 변환하는 과정에서 최적화된 매개변수를 적용하는 적응적 3차 회선 보간 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 먼저 주어진 영상 신호에 3차 회선 보간 기법을 수행하여 높은 해상도로 변환시킨다. 변환된 영상 신호는 다시 3차 회선 보간 기법으로 변환 과정을 통해 처음 주어진 원 영상 신호와 같은 해상도로 변환시킨다. 여기서 변환된 영상 신호와 원 영상 신호의 차이를 최소로 만드는 매개변수는 적응적으로 최적화된다. 적응적으로 최적화된 매개변수는 보간 커널을 최적화하여 3차 회선 보간 기법의 성능을 향상시킨다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘을 알려진 여러 영상으로 기존에 존재하던 보간 기법들과 비교하는 실험을 하고, 도출된 실험 결과를 객관적인 지표로 제시하여 우수함을 입증한다.

An adaptive optimization of parametric cubic convolution for image interpolation is derived in this paper. The proposed technique is based on optimizing the standard cubic convolution interpolation formula at each interpolated pixel. Conventional parametric cubic convolution methods use a fixed parameter in an image, so properties of each pixel cannot be incorporated into the interpolation. The proposed method optimizes the interpolation kernel by obtaining parameters adaptively on each pixel. A new cost function is introduced to reflect frequency properties of the original data. The proposed technique produces noticeably sharper edges than traditional techniques and exhibits an average PSNR improvement of traditional techniques.

In this paper, we propose a modified cubic convolution scaler for the enlargement or reduction of digital images. The proposed method has less computational complexity than the cubic convolution method. In order to reduce the computational complexity, we use the linear function of the cubic convolution and the difference value of adjacent pixels for selecting interpolation methods. We employ adders and barrel shifts to calculate weights of the proposed method. The proposed method is compared with the conventional one for the computational complexity and the image quality. It has been designed and verified by HDL(Hardware Description Language), and synthesized using Xilinx Virtex FPGA.

Image magnification is among the basic image processing operations. The most commonly used technique for image magnification are based on interpolation method(such as nearest neighbor, bilinear and cubic interpolation). However, the magnified images produced by the techniques that often appear a variety of undesirable image artifacts such as 'blocking' and 'blurring' or too takes the processing time into the several processing for image magnification. In this paper, we propose image magnification method which uses input image's sub-band information such as edge information to enhance the image magnification method. We use the whole image and not use the one's neighborhood pixels to detect the edge information of the image that isn't occurred the blocking phenomenon. And then we emphasized edge information to remove the blurring phenomenon which incited of edge information. Our method, which improves the performance of the traditional image magnification methods in the processing time, is presented. Experiment results show that the proposed method solves the drawbacks of the image magnification such as blocking and blurring phenomenon, and has a higher PSNR and Correlation than the traditional methods.

The emergence of high resolution satellite images and the evolution of spatial resolution facilitate various studies using high resolution satellite images. Above all, target detection algorithms are effective for monitoring of traffic flow and military surveillance and reconnaissance because vehicles, airplanes, and ships on broad area could be detected easily using high resolution satellite images. Recently, many satellites are launched from global countries and the diversity of satellite images are also increased. On the contrary, studies on comparison about the spatial resolution or target detection, especially, are insufficient in domestic and foreign countries. Therefore, in this study, effects of spatial resolution on target detection are analyzed using the PSO target detection algorithm. The resampling techniques such as nearest neighbor, bilinear, and cubic convolution are adopted to resize the original image into 0.5m, 1m, 2m, 4m spatial resolutions. Then, accuracy of target detection is assessed according to not only spatial resolution but also resampling method. As a result of the study, the resolution of 0.5m and nearest neighbor among the resampling methods have the best accuracy. Additionally, it is necessary to satisfy the criteria of 2m and 4m resolution for the detection of airplane and ship, respectively. The detection of airplane need more high spatial resolution than ship because of their complexity of shape. This research suggests the appropriate spatial resolution for the plane and ship target detection and contributes to the criteria of satellite sensor design.
