본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 변환 특성을 이용한 대역별 계층적 비트 플레인을 구성, 비트 플레인별로 순차적 전송을 수행하는 새로운 영상 부호화 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방식은 Antonini의 웨이블릿 기저함수를 사용하여 대역 분할된 영상을 특정대역과 다양한 해상도를 갖는 대역들로 나누어 분리함으로써 다해상도를 지원한다. 대역별 특성을 고려한 부호화의 전송 시 대역별 영상의 우선순위를 고려할 수 있고, 영상의 고속 검색에도 응용될 수 있다.

In this paper, a new image segmentation method based on merging of two low contrast neighbor regions iteratively is proposed. It is suitable for very low bit rate coding. The proposed method reduces efficiently contour information and preserves subjective and objective image quality. It consists of image segmentation using 4-level hierarchical structure based on mathematical morphology and 1-level region merging structure using the contrast difference of two adjacent neighbor regions. For each segmented region of the third level, two adjacent neighbor regions having low contrast difference value in fourth level based on contrast difference value is merged iteratively. It preserves image quality and shows the noticeable reduction of the contour information, so that it can improve the bottleneck problem of segmentation-based coding at very low bit rate.

In this paper we propose a region-adaptive CELP image coder for still images at low bit rates below 0.5 bpp. The proposed method partitions the image into stochastically similar regions by the minimum spanning tree method and finds prediction coefficients for each region using a 2- dimensional linear prediction model. Coding is carried out on 8$\times$8 blocks and when there are several regions included in a block, an image is synthesized using the prediction coefficients of each region. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method allows improved synthesized image over conventional block-adaptive CELP methods, especially at edges. In addition, performance comparison with the JPEG DCT method shows that while the JPEG method shows block distortion and staircase effects (ragged edges) at bit rates below 0.5 bpp, the proposed CELP method shows improved synthesized images with such effects reduced.

Three-dimensional (3D) video scenes are complex and difficult to control, especially when scene switching occurs. In this paper, we propose two algorithms based on an incremental proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm and a similarity analysis between views to improve the method of bit allocation for multi-view high efficiency video coding (MV-HEVC). Firstly, an incremental PID algorithm is introduced to control the buffer "liquid level" to reduce the negative impact on the target bit allocation of the view layer and frame layer owing to the fluctuation of the buffer "liquid level". Then, using the image similarity between views is used to establish, a bit allocation calculation model for the multi-view video main viewpoint and non-main viewpoint is established. Then, a bit allocation calculation method based on hierarchical B frames is proposed. Experimental simulation results verify that the algorithm ensures a smooth transition of image quality while increasing the coding efficiency, and the PSNR increases by 0.03 to 0.82dB while not significantly increasing the calculation complexity.

BTC 압축은 간단하고 효율적인 압축 알고리즘으로 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는, 컬러 이미지 압축을 위한 RMC-BTC 알고리즘(RMC : reduction method chrominace data)을 제안한다. RMC-BTC coding은 chrominace data를 축소시키기 위해서, 각 BTC 블록에서, chrominace data를 평균으로 표현하는 방법과, luminance 데이터 의 bit-map을 chrominace 데이터의 bit-map으로 활용하여 chrominace 데이터를 표현하는 방법을 사용하였다. 시뮬레에션 결과는 기존의 BTC 알고리즘의 PSNR과 압축비율의 비교를 통해서, 제안한 알고리즘의 효율성을 확인하였다.

We propose a new optical method which conceals the data of authorized persons by encryption before they are stored or compared in the pattern recognition system for security systems. This proposed security system is made up of two subsystems : a proposed optical encryption system and a pattern recognition system based on the JTC which has been shown to perform well. In this system, each image of authorized persons as a reference image is stored in memory units through the proposed encryption system. And if a fingerprint image is placed in the input plane of this security system for access to a restricted area, the image is encoded by the encryption system then compared with the encrypted reference image. Therefore because the captured input image and the reference data are encrypted, it is difficult to decrypt the image if one does not know the encryption key bit stream. The basic idea is that the input image is encrypted by performing optical XOR operations with the key bit stream that is generated by digital encryption algorithms. The optical XOR operations between the key bit stream and the input image are performed by the polarization encoding method using the polarization characteristics of LCDs. The results of XOR operations which are detected by a CCD camera should be used as an input to the JTC for comparison with a data base. We have verified the idea proposed here with computer simulations and the simulation results were also shown.

A microprogrammable Bit Slice Sinal Processor for image processing is implemented. Processing speed is increased by the parallelism in horizontal microprogram using 120bits microcode, pipelined architecture, 2 bank memory switching that interfaces with the Host through DMA, a variable clock control, overflow checking H/W,look-up table method and cache memory. With this processor, a DCT algorithm which uses 2-D FFT is performed. The execution time for $512{\times}512{\times}8$ image is 12 sec when 16 bit operation is runned, and the recovered image has acceptable quality with MSE 0.276%.

In this paper, a high-speed CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) based on a 10-bit two step Single Slope A/D Converter (SS-ADC) is proposed. The A/D converter is composed of both 5-bit coarse ADC and a 6-bit fine ADC, and the conversion speed is 10 times faster than that of the single-slope A/D convertor. In order to reduce the pixel noise, further, a Hybrid Correlated Double Sampling (H-CDS) is also discussed. The proposed A/D converter has been fabricated with 0.13um 1-poly 4-metal CIS process, and it has a QVGA ($320{\times}240$) resolution. The fabricated chip size is $5mm{\times}3mm$, and the power consumption is about 35 mW at 3.3 V supply voltage. The measured conversion speed is 10 us, and the frame rate is 220 frames/s.

In this papr, a new lossless compression method is presented based on the Binary Adaptive Arithmetic Coder(BAAC). A simple unbalanced binary tree is created by recursively dividing the BAAC unit interval into two probability sub-inervals. On the tree the More Probable Predicted Value(MPPV) and Less Probable Predicated Value(LPPV) estimated by local statistics of the image pixels are arranged in decreasing order. The BAAC or Huffman coder is thus applied to the branches of the tree. The proposed method allows the coder be directly applied to the full bit-plane medical image without a decomposition of the full bit-planes into a series of binary bit-planes. The use of the full bit model template improves the compresion ratio. In addition, a fast computation for adjusting the interval is possible since a simple arithmetic operation based on probability interval estimation state machine is used for interval sub-division within the BAAC unit interval.
