This paper proposes a method to improve video quality on images that have blocking artifacts at block boundary. Block image transform coding suffers from blocking artifact that is a main cause of degrading video quality because of the quantization error of transform coefficients in quantization process. filtering and DPCM for DC components have been widely used to reduce blocking artifact. Recently, lots of works focus on the technique that minimizes block effects using discontinuity of block boundaries. In this paper, image blurring in decoding stage is improved by adding compensation factor to each transformed blocks so that discontinuity of block boundaries can be decreased. The compensation factor is applied on each block without much loss of edge components.

스테레오 정합에서 가장 중요하고도 어려운 문제는 대응점 추출 문제와 폐색 영역에 대한 처리이다. 특히 폐색 영역의 점들은 대응점이 존재하지 않기 때문에 변이 정보 획득에 많은 어려움이 있다. 이러한 문제에 대한 효과적인 접근을 위해 본 논문에서는 쌍방향 정합 알고리즘을 기반으로 폐색 영역의 정합 정도를 향상 시키는 방법을 제안한다. 즉 좌,우 영상 각각의 기준에 대해 독립적인 변이 정보를 구하고, 이를 바탕으로 정합의 타당성 여부를 검토하여 그 결과를 다음 처리에서 반영하는 상호 보완적인 반복 처리 기법을 적용하였다. 이 과정에서 구해진 폐색 영역에 대한 변이 정보는 스테레오 영상 모델의 기하학적 구조를 적용하여 좌, 우측 기준 정합에 대해 그 좌, 우측 점들의 변이 정보들로 대체함으로써 불연속점들의 무뎌짐(blurring)현상을 개선하였다. 한편, 실험 결과를 보다 객관적으로 비교하기 위해 정합율과 에러율이라는 파라메터를 정의하여 개선된 결과를 보였다.

This paper presents a recovery technique for images with block-based corruption by transmission losses. Conventional methods that do not consider edge directions can cause blocked blurring artifacts. In this paper, we present a block recovery scheme using Haar wavelet features. The adaptive selection of neighboring blocks is performed based on the energy ratio f wavelet subbands. The lost blocks are recovered by linear interpolation in the spatial domain using selected block pairs. The proposed directional recovery method is effective for the strong edge because it exploits the varying neighboring blocks adaptively according to the edges and the directional information in the image. The proposed method outperforms the previous methods that used only a predefined set of neighboring blocks.

A real-time, continuous-scale image interpolation method is proposed based on a bilinear interpolation with directionally adaptive low-pass filtering. The proposed algorithm was optimized for hardware implementation. The ordinary bi-linear interpolation method has blocking artifacts. The proposed algorithm solves this problem using directionally adaptive low-pass filtering. The algorithm can also solve the severe blurring problem by selectively choosing low-pass filter coefficients. Therefore, the proposed interpolation algorithm can realize a high-quality image scaler for a range of imaging systems, such as digital cameras, CCTV and digital flat panel displays.

본 연구에서는 영상에 간단한 공간 필터를 적용하여 연필 해칭 효과를 갖는 영상을 만들어 내는 방법을 제안한다. 해칭 스타일의 톤 생성을 위하여 모션 블러링을 이용해서 입력 영상에 방향성을 주고, 샤프닝과 블러링으로 연필 해칭 효과를 만들어 낸다. 이렇게 만들어진 영상은 영상 전체에 같은 방향으로 해칭한 것 같은 효과를 가진다. 모션 블러링을 각기 다른 방향으로 적용한 영상들을 합성하면 크로스 해칭의 효과를 만들 수 있다. 여기에 소벨 필터를 사용해서 원본 영상의 에지를 검출해서 함께 합성하여 해칭을 이용한 연필화를 생성한다.

In this paper, we propose a watermarking method for protecting the ownership of three-dimensional (3D) content generated from depth and texture images. After selecting the target areas to preserve the watermark by depth-image-based rendering, the reference viewpoint image is moved right and left in the depth map until the maximum viewpoint change is obtained and the overlapped region is generated for marking space. The region is divided into four subparts and scanned. After applying discrete cosine transform, the watermarks are inserted. To extract the watermark, the viewpoint can be changed by referring to the viewpoint image and the corresponding depth image initially, before returning to the original viewpoint. The watermark embedding and extracting algorithm are based on quantization. The watermarked image is attacked by the methods of JPEG compression, blurring, sharpening, and salt-pepper noise.

In this paper, we propose a method of restoring blurred images by an edge-sensitive adaptive filter. The direction of the edge is estimated using the properties of 2-D block FFT. Reduction of blurring due to the added noise during image transfer and the focus of lens caused by shooting a fast moving object is very important. To remove this phenomenon effectively, we can use the edge information obtained by processing the blurred images. The proposed algorithm estimates both the existence and the direction of the edge. On the basis of the acquired edge direction information, we choose the appropriate edge-sensitive adaptive filter, which enables us to get better images than images obtained by methods not considering the direction of the edge. The performance of the proposed algorithm is shown in the simulation result.

Lots of physical phenomena which deteriorate the faithfulness of radiological images exist. The most common types of degradation are a loss of resolution and an increase in noise. This article deals with resolution. factors that influence it. and its characterisation. The problem of resolution failure due to a generic blurring phenomenum is described diagramatically and mathematically. for both one dimensional and two dimensional signals. The definition of the point spread function. the line spread function. the convolution integral and the modulation transfer function are made. The concept of frequency domain operations using the Fourier Transform is also discussed.

In this paper, we propose a new process for ultrasonic B-mode image considering the sound field effects of a concave circuit focused transducer, and aim to remove the speckle pattern which cause the blurring on boundary in ultrasonic B-mode image. We discuss in detail the conception of speckle pattern generation, and the frequency compounding method which is applied to the process for getting a speckle reduced B-mode image. Through the computer simulation, we define the meaning of speckle region, and show the results of reduced speckle pattern. It is discovered in the results that the frequency compounding method is very effective for boundary detection and that the application of the method is limited by various conditions.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the major influence of postmodernism on 20th century fashion. Due to its characteristic traits like pluralism, indeterminacy, and immanence, it can be said that postmodernism in fashion manifests itself in an overlapped and duplicated style. The conceptual side has to do with such various 20th century thoughts as decanonization, deconstruction, populism, and in fashion it is presented as subcultural style, syncretic style, and post-feminist style. The stylistic side of postmodernism in fashion also has to do with fragmentation, hybridity, stress on performance and participation, carnivalization, deconstructive turn, and it is presented as hybrid expression, deconstructive technique, performance, and so on. In the latter part of the 20th century in which postmodernism blossoms in various fields, fashion also participates in the current of the times, together with the rapid stylistic turn, the co-existence of various trends, and the experimental or avant-garde new trials. However, it should be said that all of these tendencies mean not so much blurring of the boundaries between styles as developmental mixture of styles coming from juxtaposition after fully realizing the boundaries of contrast and combination.
