It is known that a digital image enlargement technique can increase the size of he image but the practical enhancement of resolution is trifle because the frequency bandwidth of the original image is basically limited. To solve this problem, this paper proposes the digital image enlargement technique which interpolates the interpolation points of horizontal and vertical direction by weighting according to the direction of edge information with the component of FOI(First Order Interpolation)and output of the pseudomedian filter for image enlargement and interpolates the interpolation points of diagonal direction by selectively transposing the direction of the subwindows of the pseudomedian filter according to the distribution of neighbored pixels thereto in the extended image. According to the proposed methods, the digital image enlargement which preserves the characteristic of the pseudomedian filter capable of keeping the reconstruction of edge information and reflects the advantage of FOI can be performed. Therefore, visual artifacts could be effectively suppressed, and most characteristics and shape of the original image can be reconstructed as well.

The H.264/AVC standard has adopted new coding tools such as intra-prediction, variable block size, motion estimation with quarter-pixel-accuracy, loop filter, and so on. The adoption of these tools enables an H.264/AVC-coded bitstream to have more information than was possible with previous standards. In this paper, we propose an effective spatial error concealment method with low complexity in H.264/AVC intra-frame. From information included in an H.264/AVC-coded bitstream, we use prediction modes of intra-blocks to recover a damaged block. This is because the prediction direction in each prediction mode is highly correlated to the edge direction. We first estimate the edge direction of a damaged block using the prediction modes of the intra-blocks adjacent to a damaged block and classify the area inside the damaged block into edge and flat areas. Our method then recovers pixel values in the edge area using edge-directed interpolation, and recovers pixel values in the flat area using weighted interpolation. Simulation results show that the proposed method yields better video quality than conventional approaches.

영상 표시장치의 화소수가 다양화됨에 따라, 영상 보간법은 더욱 중요한 역할을 하게 되었다. 3차 콘볼루션 보간법(Cubic Convolution Interpolation)은 간단하지만, 적용하는데 제한이 없고, 좋은 성능을 보이기 때문에 널리 쓰이고 있다. 이 논문은 3차 콘볼루션 보간법을 이용한 적응적 방법을 제안한다. 예측하려는 픽셀의 이웃 화소 값의 차이를 고려해서, 3차 콘볼루션 커널에 있는 'a' 값을 적응적으로 선택한다.

In the scalable extension of H.264/AVC, spatial scalability is provided residual information as encoding layered spatial resolution between layers. We use the inter-layer prediction to remove this redundancy. In the inter-layer prediction, as the prediction we can use the signal that is the upsampled signal of the lower resolution layer. In this case, coding efficiency can be different from optimal prediction by kinds of interpolation filter. This paper indicates technique to choose the interpolation filter and to enhance coding efficiency for finding more correct prediction in intra macroblock.

In the scalable extension of H.264/AVC, the codec is based on a layered approach to enable spatial scalability. In each layer, the basic concepts of motion compensated prediction and intra prediction are employed as in standard H.264/AVC. Additionally inter-layer prediction algorithm between successive spatial layers is applied to remove redundancy. In the inter-layer prediction, as the prediction we can use the signal that is the upsampled signal of the lower resolution layer. In this case, coding efficiency can be variable as the kinds of interpolation filter. In this paper, we investigate the approach to select the interpolation filter for residual signal in order to optimal prediction.

Nowadays adaptive technique allows arrays of any geometry to be used with fast direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimators designed for linear arrays. So the interpolation of data from a given antenna array onto the output of a virtual array is needed before the direction finding technique is applied to the outputs of a uniform linear virtual array (ULVA). In this paper some superresoluntion methods are used to estimate DOA by best-fit transformation matrix T under different nonuniformly spaced array.

Demosaicing, or color filter array (CFA) interpolation, estimates missing color channels of raw mosaiced images from a CFA to reproduce full-color images. It is an essential process for single-sensor digital cameras with CFAs. In this paper, a new demosaicing method for digital cameras with Bayer-like W-RGB CFAs is proposed. To preserve the edge structure when reproducing full-color images, we propose an edge direction-adaptive method using color difference estimation between different channels, which can be applied to practical digital camera use. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method in terms of CPSNR, FSIM, and S-CIELAB color distance measures, we perform simulations on sets of mosaiced images captured by an actual prototype digital camera with a Bayer-like W-RGB CFA. The simulation results show that the proposed method demosaics better than a conventional one by approximately +22.4% CPSNR, +0.9% FSIM, and +36.7% S-CIELAB distance.

In this paper, we propose an automatic procedure to improve the accuracy of finite element solutions using enriched 2D solid finite elements (4-node quadrilateral and 3-node triangular elements). The enriched elements can improve solution accuracy without mesh refinement by adding cover functions to the displacement interpolation of the standard elements. The enrichment scheme is more effective when used adaptively for areas with insufficient accuracy rather than the entire model. For given meshes, an error for each node is estimated, and then proper degrees of cover functions are applied to the selected nodes. A new error estimation method and cover function selection scheme are devised for the proposed adaptive enrichment scheme. Herein, we demonstrate the proposed enrichment scheme through several 2D problems.

This study employs a novel beam-type wavelet finite element model (WFEM) to fulfill an adaptive-scale damage detection strategy in which structural modeling scales are not only spatially varying but also dynamically changed according to actual needs. Dynamical equations of beam structures are derived in the context of WFEM by using the second-generation cubic Hermite multiwavelets as interpolation functions. Based on the concept of modal strain energy, damage in beam structures can be detected in a progressive manner: the suspected region is first identified using a low-scale structural model and the more accurate location and severity of the damage can be estimated using a multi-scale model with local refinement in the suspected region. Although this strategy can be implemented using traditional finite element methods, the multi-scale and localization properties of the WFEM considerably facilitate the adaptive change of modeling scales in a multi-stage process. The numerical examples in this study clearly demonstrate that the proposed damage detection strategy can progressively and efficiently locate and quantify damage with minimal computation effort and a limited number of sensors.

본 논문에서는 에지를 고려한 순차주사화(EDI: edge dependent interpolation)와 전역 움직임 보상(GMC: globa1 motion compensation)을 결합한 효율적이면서도 안정적인 순차주사화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적으로 에지를 고려한 순차주사화 알고리즘을 사용하면 한 장의 필드를 이용한 다른 순차주사화 알고리즘들을 사용했을 때보다 시각적으로 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 한 장의 필드에 담긴 영상 정보에는 한계가 있기 때문에, 한 장의 필드를 이용한 방법을 통해서는 원본 필드로부터 고화질의 순차 주사 영상을 얻을 수 없다. 이에 반해 움직임 정보를 이용한 순차주사화 방법은 공간 영역뿐 아니라 시간 영역의 정보를 사용하므로 한 장의 필드를 이용할 때 보다 더욱 정확하게 원 프레임을 복원해 내지만, 움직임 추정의 정확도에 따라 결과가 크게 좌우되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 제안된 알고리즘에서는 EDI와 GMC를 함께 사용한다. 또한 최상의 결과를 얻기 위해 GMC의 오류를 검출하는 적응적 문턱 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘을 사용하면 기존 방법들에 비해 수치상으로도 시각적으로도 뛰어난 결과가 나타나는 것을 실험을 통해 확인할 수 있다.
