An image obtained from a low light environment results in a low-exposure problem caused by non-ideal camera settings, i.e. aperture size and shutter speed. Of particular note, the multiple color-filter aperture (MCA) system inherently suffers from low-exposure problems and performance degradation in its image classification and registration processes due to its finite size of the apertures. In this context, this paper presents a novel method for the color enhancement of low-exposure images and its application to color shift model-based MCA system for image refocusing. Although various histogram equalization (HE) approaches have been proposed, they tend to distort the color information of the processed image due to the range limits of the histogram. The proposed color enhancement algorithm enhances the global brightness by analyzing the basic cause of the low-exposure phenomenon, and then compensates for the contrast degradation artifacts by using an adaptive histogram specification. We also apply the proposed algorithm to the preprocessing step of the refocusing technique in the MCA system to enhance the color image. The experimental results confirm that the proposed method can enhance the contrast of any low-exposure color image acquired by a conventional camera, and is suitable for commercial low-cost, high-quality imaging devices, such as consumer-grade camcorders, real-time 3D reconstruction systems, digital, and computational cameras.

피부색 정보는 비전 기반 시스템에서 인체 인식에 널리 쓰이는 중요한 정보이다. 그러나 기존의 픽셀 단위의 피부색 분할 방법은 피부색 영역 내부와 외부에 발생하는 오분할로 인해 여러 가지 피부색 관련 시스템의 인식률을 저해시키는 요인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 양자화 영역 정보로부터 프레임 간에 근접한 유사 피부색의 영역별 분할을 통한 피부색 분할 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 피부색 영역분할을 위해 JSEG 알고리즘을 통해 영상의 칼라를 양자화하여 영역을 분할한다. 분할된 영역으로부터 근접한 유사 피부 영역의 후보를 결정하고, 각 영역의 히스토그램 비교를 통해 피부색 영역을 결정한다. 이렇게 결정된 영역으로부터 피부색 표본을 추출하여 다음 프레임을 위한 피부색 모델을 갱신한다. 성능 평가를 위해 ECHO 데이타베이스와 조명이 변화하는 환경에서 실제 촬영한 영상을 이용하여 기존 연구의 분류 방법 비교 실험을 실시하였고, 기존보다 향상된 영역 분할 및 조명 적응 성능을 보였다.

In this paper we suggest a development of surface defect inspection algorithms for cold mill strip using tree structure. The defects which exist in a surface of cold mill strip have a scattering or singular distribution. This paper consists of preprocessing, feature extraction and defect classification. By preprocessing, the binarized defect image is achieved. In this procedure, Top-hit transform, adaptive thresholding, thinning and noise rejection are used. Especially, Top-hit transform using local min/max operation diminishes the effect of bad lighting. In feature extraction, geometric, moment, co-occurrence matrix, histogram-ratio features are calculated. The histogram-ratio feature is taken from the gray-level image. For the defect classification, we suggest a tree structure of which nodes are multilayer neural network clasifiers. The proposed algorithm reduced error rate comparing to one stage structure.

In this paper, we propose Neuro-Fuzzy discrimination method of the new and old bill using bill money acoustic data. The concept of the histogram is introduced to improve the processing time into the proposal system. The adaptative filter is used in order to remove the motor sound from an observed bill money acoustic data. The output signal of this adaptive digital filter is converted into not only a spectrum but also a histogram. It became easy that features of the paper money sound were extracted from the bill money acoustic data. The spectral data and the histogram is obtained like this, and it become an input pattern of the neural network(NN). Then, the discrimination result of the NN is finally judged by the fuzzy inferece in the new bill or the exhaustion bill.

In developing an automated surface inspect algorithm, we have designed a hierarchical classifier using neural network. The defects which exist on the surface of cold mill strip have a scattering or singular distribution. We have considered three major problems, that is preprocessing, feature extraction and defect classification. In preprocessing, Top-hit transform, adaptive thresholding, thinning and noise rejection are used Especially, Top-hit transform using local minimax operation diminishes the effect of bad lighting. In feature extraction, geometric, moment, co-occurrence matrix, and histogram ratio features are calculated. The histogram ratio feature is taken from the gray-level image. For defect classification, we suggest a hierarchical structure of which nodes are multilayer neural network classifiers. The proposed algorithm reduced error rate by comparing to one-stage structure.

This paper proposes an automatic liver segmentation method using improved partial histogram threshold (PHT) algorithms. This method removes neighboring abdominal organs regardless of random pixel variation of contrast enhanced CT images. Adaptive multi-modal threshold is first performed to extract a region of interest (ROI). A left PHT (LPHT) algorithm is processed to remove the pancreas, spleen, and left kidney. Then a right PHT (RPHT) algorithm is performed for eliminating the right kidney from the ROI. Finally, binary morphological filtering is processed for removing of unnecessary objects and smoothing of the ROI boundary. Ten CT slices of six patients (60 slices) were selected to evaluate the proposed method. As evaluation measures, an average normalized area and area error rate were used. From the experimental results, the proposed automatic liver segmentation method has strong similarity performance as the MSM by medical Doctor.

In this paper, we propose new watermarking technique using weighting factor decision method in the watermark embedding step and adaptive threshold decision method in the watermark extracting step. In our method, we are determined weighting factor in simple by calculating distance between pixel coefficient and neighborhood pixel coefficients and threshold is adaptively determined by searching the minimized extract error value using histogram of difference value.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive wavelet method for car interior noise cancellation. For this purpose, we use a node dependent threshold which minimizes the Bayesian risk. We propose a noise estimation method based on spectral entropy using histogram of intensity and a candidate best basis instead of Donoho's best bases. And we modify the hard threshold function. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is more efficient, especially to heavy noisy signal than conventional one.

본 논문에서는 실시간 처리론 위한 적응형 콘트라스트 조정 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방식은 과도한 영상의 밝기 변화를 제어하기 위하여 활률밀도함수(PDF: Probability Density Function)를 이용하였다. 또한 제안된 알고리즘은 처리된 영상에 영향을 주지 않으면서 최대 콘트라스트를 얻을 수 있었다. 하드웨어의 복잡성을 감소하기 위하여 누적분포함수(CDF: Cumulative Density Function)의 샘플 값을 이용한 선형화 방법을 이용하였다. 제안된 방식에 의한 처리 결과와 원 영상의 화질 평가를 위하여 시각적 검증과 히스토그램 편차를 도입하였다.
