  • Since image data has large data amount, proper image compression is necessary to transmit and store the data efficiently. Image compression brings about bit rate reduction but results in some artifacts. This artifacts are blocking artifacts, mosquito noise, which are observed in DCT based compression image, and ringing artifacts, which is perceived around the edges in wavelet based compression image. In this paper, we propose directional postprocessing technique which improved the decoded image quality using the fact that human vision is sensible to ringing artifacts around the edges of image. First we detect the edge direction in each block. Next we perform directional postprocessing according to detected edge direction. Proposed method is that the edge direction is block. Next performed directional postprocessing according to detected edge direction. If the correlation coefficients are equivalent to each directions, postprocessing is not performed. So, time of the postproces ing brings about shorten.

  • 의료영상에서 인공물(Artifacts) 이라 함은 영상이 얻어지는 신체부위와 아무런 관련이 없으나 얻어진 영상에는 마치 영상의 일부분으로 나타나는 모든 것을 가리킨다. 따라서 영상에서 이들 인공물들은 실제 조직의 해부학적인 구조를 나타내지 않으므로 영상 판독에 영향을 주어 잘못된 진단을 초래할 수도 있다. 그러나 MR 영상이 가능한 이래로 새로운 여러 종류의 MR 인공물들이 많이 발견 되었으나 다행스럽게도 거의 모든 MR 인공물들은 쉽게 설명이 가능하며, 따라서 이들 인공물들에 의한 진단 오류의 가능성은 매우 희박한 실정이다. 그러나 새로운 영상방법이나 혹은 새로운 펄스대열이 계속 고안됨에 따라 새로운 종류의 인 공물들이 생겨날 가능성은 항상 존재하고 있다. 지금까지 알려진 여러 MR 인공물들은 그 생겨난 원인에 따라 다음과 같이 크게 세 가지로 분류가 가능하다. I. Motion Artifacts 1. Voluntary motion 2. Involuntary motion 1) Bowel Peristalsis 2) Respiration 3) Cardiac and vessel pulsation 4) Swallowing 3.

  • Laminated lumber is an engineered wood products using stress rated, seasoned and selected lumber. Each piece of lumber is graded, and then end jointed to produce the required length. This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of wooden artifacts with laminated lumber. It is expected through this research that wooden artifacts, which have originality and local character, can be developed by making design of wooden artifacts through the use of plentiful resources around the local area. A development of new design products, an improvement of distributive structure and the achievement of international competitiveness will contribute to develop the industrial artifacts art in Korea. And, it is necessary to develop a corporation system between industrial craft companies and universities.

  • Motion-induced artifacts on LCDs appear as blurred boundaries and/or color aberration between the moving objects and background. Perceived degree of the motion-induced artifacts depends on the blur width as well as color difference. This paper presents a quantitative measure for the motion-induced artifacts on LCDs. Performance of the proposed measure is verified by calculating correlation coefficients between the proposed measures and the results of human visual tests performed on the 240 Hz and 120 Hz scanning LCD TVs.

  • This paper proposes a new blind measurement model of blocking artifacts. This model plays an important role in the assessment and enhancement of image quality caused by block-based DCT coding system. The proposed model can measure blocking artifacts without reference to original images and consider the HVS based visual model such as frequency sensitivity and channel masking effect to detect and measure overall blocking artifacts quantitatively. The experimental results show that the proposed model is highly effective in measuring blocking artifacts.

  • Due to the block-based discrete cosine transform (BDCT), JPEG compressed images usually exhibit blocking artifacts. When the bit rates are very low, blocking artifacts will seriously affect the image's visual quality. A bilateral filter has the features for edge-preserving when it smooths images, so we propose an adaptive-weighted bilateral filter based on the features. In this paper, an image-deblocking scheme using this kind of adaptive-weighted bilateral filter is proposed to remove and reduce blocking artifacts. Two parameters of the proposed adaptive-weighted bilateral filter are adaptive-weighted so that it can avoid over-blurring unsmooth regions while eliminating blocking artifacts in smooth regions. This is achieved in two aspects: by using local entropy to control the level of filtering of each single pixel point within the image, and by using an improved blind image quality assessment (BIQA) to control the strength of filtering different images whose blocking artifacts are different. It is proved by our experimental results that our proposed image-deblocking scheme provides good performance on eliminating blocking artifacts and can avoid the over-blurring of unsmooth regions.

  • Metallurgical studies of the bronze artifacts excavated from Miruksa Temple were performed by chemical analysis and metallographic observation. Alloy systems of the bronze artifacts were classified into two groups of Cu-Sn and Cu-Sn-Pb, according to the items. The contents of impurities such as Sb, As, Ni and Fe in bronze artifacts are within the limiting range of the mod ern standard bronze castings. Chemical compositions of the kitchen utensils such as bronze vessels and dishes in the Unified Silla dynasty, are in the follow ing range, Cu : 74.8-79.4% and Sn : 18.6-21.1%. Chemical composition of the Buddha-image in Koryo dynasty are 820Cu-7.0Sn-10.3Pb, showing increased Pb content and decreased Sn content. The results of chemical analysis suggest that the chemical compositions were good controlled. Any casting defects such as voids and shrinkage holes are not found microscopically, indicating high casting skill. Zinc atoms are not contained in the all bronze artifacts of Miruksa Temple site. This is the common facts founded in the east asian bronze artifacts of Korea, China and Japan. It is comparable with the European bronze of Cu-Sn-Pb-Zn system, after the Middle Age.

  • Product Line Engineering(PLE) is one of the technologies that develop applications economically reusing core assets. PLE consists of Framework Engineering(FE) and Application Engineering. Framework Engineering is to develop core assets that have common functionality shared by a set of family members. Application Engineering is to develop a specific application by instantiating the core assets. The PLE process increases reusability and efficiency because a specific application is developed by using core assets with less time and effort. Since definition of PLE artifacts and relationship between artifacts are not clear. developers have several troubles to make artifacts based on PLE process, are difficult to maintain consistency between artifacts, and do not use PLE process more practically. In this paper, we define meta-models of artifacts that are produced in PLE activities of PLE process and describe the traceability relationship between artifacts by using traceability map and guidelines that can apply traceability relationship. Finally, we define the way how trace links and guidelines of traceability map are applied.

  • The capacity for tracing relationships among various artifacts which are created at each phase of software system development is essential for software quality management. Software release refers to delivering a set of newly created or changed artifacts to customers. The relationships among artifacts which comprise software release must be traced so that the work for customer's requirement of change and functional enhancement is effectively established. And release management can be effectively realized through the integration of configuration management and change management. This paper proposes the technique for supporting change management of artifacts and for tracing relationships of artifacts which comprise software release through the integrated environment of personal workspace and configuration management system. In the proposed environment, the visualized version graph and automated tagging function are used for tracing relationships of artifacts.

  • We estimated the provenance of the obsidian artifacts from Samgeori site at Yeoncheon, one of the prehistoric sites in South Korea. Pyroxene microlites are of hedenbergite to augite compositions, and intergrown and/or overgrown with Fe-oxides showing poikilitic texture. Major oxides contents for the matrix of the obsidian artifacts exhibit a narrow compositional range, especially SiO2 contents being 73.0~75.5 wt.% of acidic rhyolitic composition. Also, rare earth element (REE) contents are relatively constant in the obsidian artifacts, and the chondrite-normalized REE patterns show a strong Eu negative anomaly. These mineralogical and geochemical features of the Samgeori obsidian artifacts were compared with those from both the Baekdusan obsidians and Japanese Kyushu obsidians which have been thought to be two major obsidian provenances around South Korea. It is suggested that the Samgeori obsidian artifacts were possibly originated from the Baekdusan obsidians.
