프랙탈을 기반으로 한 칼라 영상 부호화는 영상을 RGB, YIQ 나 $YC_bC_r$, 과 같은 기본적인 채널로 분리한 후, 각각의 채널을 독립적으로 프랙탈 이진 영상 부호화 기법에 적용함으로써 쉽게 부호화할 수 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 각각의 채널에 대해 부호화를 반복해야 하기 때문에 부호화 시간이 길어진다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 프랙탈 이론을 바탕으로 압축률의 향상과 부호화 시간의 단축을 동시에 이룰 수 있는 칼라 정지영상의 부호화를 위한 프랙탈 기반 부호기를 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘을 칼라영상에 적용하여 실험한 결과, 복원 영상의 PSNR 값이 평균적으로 $28{\sim}29[dB]$ 정도에서, 압축률이 JPEG에서 사용하는 무손실 부호화 과정을 거치지 않고도 약 28 : 1 이상으로 향상되었으며, 부호화 시간은 약 11.5 % 정도 단축할 수 있었다.

This paper describes CAD tools for the construction of image database in IC chip analysis CAD system. For IC chip analysis by high-resolution microscopy, the image database is essential to manage more than several thousand images. But manual database construction is error-prone and time-consuming. In order to solve this problem, we develop a set of CAD toos that include image grabber to capture chip images, image editor to make the whole chip image database from the grabbed images, and image divider to reconstruct the database that consists of evenly overlapped images for efficient region search. we also develop an interactive pattern matching method for user-friendly image editing, and a heuristic region search method for fast image division. The tools are developed with a high-performance graphic hardware with JPEG image comparession chip to process the huge color image data. The tools are under the field test and experimental resutls show that the database construction time can be redcued in 1/3 compared to manual database construction.

In watermarking schemes, the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is broadly used because its frequency component separation is very useful. Moreover, LU decomposition has little influence on the visual quality of the watermark. Hence, in this paper, a novel blind watermark algorithm is presented based on LU transform and DWT for the copyright protection of digital images. In this algorithm, the color host image is first performed with DWT. Then, the horizontal and vertical diagonal high frequency components are extracted from the wavelet domain, and the sub-images are divided into $4{\times}4$ non-overlapping image blocks. Next, each sub-block is performed with LU decomposition. Finally, the color image watermark is transformed by Arnold permutation, and then it is inserted into the upper triangular matrix. The experimental results imply that this algorithm has good features of invisibility and it is robust against different attacks to a certain degree, such as contrast adjustment, JPEG compression, salt and pepper noise, cropping, and Gaussian noise.

A zero-watermarking algorithm in transform domain based on RGB channel and voting strategy is proposed. The registration and identification of ownership have achieved copyright protection for color images. In the ownership registration, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT), and singular value decomposition (SVD) are used comprehensively because they have the characteristics of multi-resolution, energy concentration and stability, which is conducive to improving the robustness of the proposed algorithm. In order to take full advantage of the characteristics of the image, we use three channels of R, G, and B of a color image to construct three master shares, instead of using data from only one channel. Then, in order to improve security, the master share is superimposed with the copyright watermark encrypted by the owner's key to generate an ownership share. When the ownership is authenticated, copyright watermarks are extracted from the three channels of the disputed image. Then using voting decisions, the final copyright information is determined by comparing the extracted three watermarks bit by bit. Experimental results show that the proposed zero watermarking scheme is robust to conventional attacks such as JPEG compression, noise addition, filtering and tampering, and has higher stability in various common color images.

This paper proposes a stereo image insertion technique on DCT coefficients using the embedded method developed in the digital watermarking in due consideration of compatibility with conventional 2D system such JPEG, and MPEG. In conventional transmission method users with conventional digital TV cannot watch the transmitted 3D image sequence as 2D image, because of affectivity of conventional 3D image compression. To give an answer, in this paper, DCT coefficients are changed according to its disparity on YCbCr channels. Our method can insert stereo images into a conventional image compression method based on DCT.

본 논문에서는 팔레트 기반 이미지(palette-based image) 또는 인덱스 이미지(indexed image)라고 불리는 256색의 이미지에 대한 압축 성능 향상을 위한 새로운 알고리즘을 소개한다. 제안한 방식은 현재 색상이 갖는 인덱스 값을 중심으로 다음에 나오는 색상의 인덱스가 얼마나 발생하는지를 측정하고, 발생 빈도를 정렬하여 순위를 구한 후에, 색상에 대한 인덱스 값을 순위로 표현하여 원래의 인덱스 이미지를 대체한다. 그렇게 변화된 순위 인덱스이미지(ranked index image)의 인덱스 분포에서는 순위가 높은 곳에 같은 인덱스들이 더 많이 존재하기 때문에 데이터 중복성(redundancy)을 높일 수 있어, 압축 효율을 기대할 수 있다. 실험 결과에서는, 기존의 산술부호화 방식, 휘도 성분 기반의 JPEG-LS 방식 그리고 인덱스 기반의 GIF 방식들과 비교할 때, 원 이미지에 대한 압축률이 최대 22.5까지 향상되어 제안한 방식의 압축 성능이 훨씬 뛰어나다는 것을 보여준다.

This paper presents a wavelet-based digital watermarking scheme for color images. We insert watermarks in the DWI domain using spread-spectrum correlation-based watermarking in luminance component of the color image. The watermark, two pseudorandom patterns, is inserted by modifying the wavelet coefficients at subband HL2, LH2, HH2 according to message bits. To detect watermark, we calculate the correlation between the watermarked image and pseudorandom patterns. As compared with correlations, the watermark detector determines embedding message. Experimental results show that the scheme is not only invisible but also robust to various attacks such as JPEG compression, noise addition and so on.

In this paper, We proposed fast ultrasound image compression based on characteristics of ultrasound images. In the proposed method, wavelet transform is performed for non-zero coefficients selectively. It codes zero-tree symbols using conditional pdf (probability density function) as orientation of bands. It normalizes wavelet coefficients with threshold of each wavelet band and encodes those using a uniform quantizer. Experimental results show that the proposed method is the proposed method is superior in PSNR to LuraTech's method by about 1.0 dB, to JPEG by about 5.0 dB for $640\times480$ 24bits color ultrasound image.

디지털 워터마킹은 이미지, 사운드와 같은 멀티미디어 데이터에 지각할 수 없도록 비밀 정보를 삽입하는 기법이다 일반적으로 주파수 영역 워터마킹 기법에서는 원 이미지에 대해 주파수 변환을 하고, 그 변환 면에 부호화된 워터마크 데이터를 삽입한다. 본 논문에서 우리는 Fresnel 변환을 이용한 새로운 컬러 이미지 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 워터마크 이미지를 Fresnel 변환시켜 얻은 패턴의 값들을 컬러 이미지에 삽입한다. 본 워터마킹 모델은, 컬러 이미지에 대한 워터마크 삽입을 위해 원 이미지를 RGB 성분에서 YCrCb 성분으로 분해를 한 후 Y 성분에 워터마크 이미지의 Fresnel 변환된 패턴의 실수와 허수 값을 삽입하는 기법이다. 제안된 기법의 유효성을 검증하기 위한 워터마크 삽입 추출 실험 결과 유효성을 입증 할 PSNR 값을 나타냈으며, 또한 JPEG와 같은 손실 압축 공격에 대해 내성을 지니고 있음을 보였다.

This paper deals with the real-time monitoring and control system using PC, PDA(Win CE embedded device) and PCS(based BREW platform). The camera attached to the server captures the moving target, and the captured frame of color image is encoded in JPEG for image compression at the server. The client(PC, PDA, PCS) receives the image data from the remote server and the received image is decoded from decompression. We use the TCP/IP protocol to send the image frames. The client can control the position of the camera by sending the control command to the server. Two DC servo motors for the camera are controlled in any directions, up-down and left-right, by the controller which is communicating with the server via the serial communication to get the control command. In this way, on the client we can monitor the moving images at the server and also control the position of the camera.
