Purpose: The purpose of this study was to propose contrast metric which is based on the human visual perception and thus it can be used to improve the quality of digital images in many applications. Methods: Previous literatures are surveyed, and then the proposed method is modeled based on Human Visual System(HVS) such as multiscale property of the contrast sensitivity function (CSF), contrast constancy property (suprathreshold), color channel property. Furthermore, experiments using digital images are shown to prove the effectiveness of the method. Results: The results of this study are as follows; regarding the proposed contrast measure of complex images, it was found by experiments that HVS follows relatively well compared to the previous contrast measurement. Conclusion: This study shows the effectiveness on how to measure the contrast of complex images which follows human perception better than other methods.

X-선 유방촬영술은 유방암의 조기발견을 위해 가장 일반적으로 이용되고 있다. 유방암의 조기 발견과 진단의 효율성을 증가시키기 위하여 많은 영상향상 방법들이 연구개발 되었다. 본 논문은 디지털 맘모그램을 위하여 라플라시안 피라미드에서 대비척도를 이용한 다중 스케일 대비 향상 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 입력 영상을 가우시안 피라미드와 라플라시안 피라미드로 분해하고, 분해된 다해상도 영상의 피라미드 계수들은 저주파수 성분들과 고주파수 성분들의 비율로 대역 제한된 국부 대비척도를 정의한다. 대비 향상을 위하여 정의된 대비척도를 이용하여 분해된 피라미드 계수들을 수정하고, 수정된 계수들로 피라미드 복원 과정을 거처 최종 향상된 영상을 얻는다. 제안된 방법의 성능은 실험을 통하여 기존 방법들과 향상결과를 비교하고, 대비 측정 알고리즘을 이용한 정량적인 평가결과에서 우수한 성능을 확인하였다.

It is important to measure precisely the size and velocity of micro-bubbles used in various field. The synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique was employed to measure the size and velocity of micro-bubbles moving in an opaque tube simultaneously. Phase contrast images were obtained at interfaces of micro-bubbles between water and air due to their different refractive indices. The X-ray micro-imaging technique was found to measure an optical fiber with an accuracy of 0.2%. Micro-bubbles of 20∼60$\mu\textrm{m}$ diameter moving upward in an opaque tube (${\Phi}$＝2.7mm) were tested to measure bubble size and up-rising velocity. For DI water, the measured velocity of micro-bubbles is nearly proportional to the square of bubble size, agreed well with the theoretical result. In addition, the synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique can measure accurately the size and velocity of several overlapped micro-bubbles.

Phase contrast images were obtained at interfaces of micro-bubbles between water and air due to their different refractive indices. The X-ray micro-imaging technique was found to measure an optical fiber with an accuracy of 0.2%. Micro-bubbles of $10{\sim}60{\mu}m$ diameter moving upward in an opaque tube (${\phi}=2.7mm$) were tested to measure bubble size and up-rising velocity. For DI water, the measured velocity of micro-bubbles is nearly proportional to the square of bubble size, agreed well with the theoretical result. In addition, the synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique can measure accurately the size and velocity of several overlapped micro-bubbles.

The purpose of this study is to investigate harmonious color schemes based on a length proportion of upper and lower parts of a body by; understanding of the harmonious length proportion of a square measure of a color in color coordination of fashion design, and presenting a mutual relation of the length proportion of a square measure of a color according to the various way of color schemes and proportions. For this study, monochromatic scheme, analogous scheme and complementary scheme were adapted as the color schemes, and each color scheme was coordinated by analogous tone and contrast tone. Also, 1:1 symmetry proportion, 1:2 harmonic proportion, 1:1.618 golden section, 1:3 and 1:5 contrast proportion were used as the square measure of a color. For the survey, 12 sets of color sample were organized. The survey was conducted 182 of university students majored in fashion design, and 143 responded samples were analyzed using SPSS 12. The result of the study is as follows: 1:5 contrast proportion is most inharmonious in general, and 1:1 symmetry proportion is followed. It is thought that too much or same length of the square measure of colors has less attractive effect of coloring. On the other hand, 1:1.618 golden section and 1:2 harmonic proportion are accepted to be harmonious in all color schemes. The length proportion of the square measure of a color had more influence on harmony of color coordination in fashion design rather than color schemes. Though, on the assumption that people have a similar perception about the color image of fashion design, it will play an important role in strengthening or diminution of color in cloth if the coloring effect of the length proportion of the square measure of a color is used in fashion design and wearing of clothes.

In this study, we propose a novel salient object detection strategy based on regional contrast and relative spatial compactness. Our algorithm consists of four basic steps. First, we learn color names offline using the probabilistic latent semantic analysis (PLSA) model to find the mapping between basic color names and pixel values. The color names can be used for image segmentation and region description. Second, image pixels are assigned to special color names according to their values, forming different color clusters. The saliency measure for every cluster is evaluated by its spatial compactness relative to other clusters rather than by the intra variance of the cluster alone. Third, every cluster is divided into local regions that are described with color name descriptors. The regional contrast is evaluated by computing the color distance between different regions in the entire image. Last, the final saliency map is constructed by incorporating the color cluster's spatial compactness measure and the corresponding regional contrast. Experiments show that our algorithm outperforms several existing salient object detection methods with higher precision and better recall rates when evaluated using public datasets.

Detecting small infrared targets from the low-SCR images at a long distance is very hard. The previous Local Contrast Method (LCM) algorithm based on the human visual system shows a superior performance of detecting small targets by a background suppression technique through local contrast measure. However, its slow processing speed due to the heavy multi-scale processing overhead is not suitable to a variety of real-time applications. This paper presents a lightweight real-time small target detection algorithm, called by the Improved Selective Local Contrast Method (ISLCM), to reduce the scale-invariant computational overhead. The proposed ISLCM applies the improved local contrast measure to the predicted selective region so that it may have a comparable detection performance as the previous LCM while guaranteeing low scale-invariant computational load by exploiting both adaptive scale estimation and small target feature feasibility. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce its computational overhead considerably while maintaining its detection performance compared with the previous LCM.

본 논문에서는 낮은 SNR을 가지는 적외선 영상에서 강인한 소형 표적 검출을 위해 모폴로지 차 연산을 수행하여 표적 후보 영역을 찾고 화소 라벨링을 통해 후보 영역의 위치를 찾는다. 기존의 모폴로지 연산 기반의 표적 검출 방법들은 적외선 영상에 존재하는 클러터에 취약하다는 단점으로 인해 검출 정확도가 낮다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 논문에서는 후보 영역에서 표적과 배경 잡음을 분류하기 위해 Moravec 알고리즘과 LCM(Local Contrast Measure) 알고리즘을 결합함으로써 표적 향상과 배경 잡음 억제를 동시에 달성한다. 또한, 제안하는 알고리즘은 기존에 실시간 표적 검출을 위해 개발되었던 모폴로지 연산과 가우시안 거리 함수를 이용한 표적 검출 방법의 단일 객체에 제한적인 검출 문제를 해결하여 복수 객체를 효율적으로 검출할 수 있다.

본 연구에서는 모자이크 영상에 대하여 정량적인 품질평가지수에 대한 적용 가능성을 제시하였다. 우선, 영상 품질평가를 위해 접합영상의 접합선을 이용한 연속성 평가와 색상을 이용한 유사성(similarity) 및 대비(contrast)를 이용하여 품질평가지수를 산정하였다. 선정된 품질평가 항목을 기반으로 최종적인 품질평가지수를 산정하여 실험자에 의한 주관적 평가와의 비교, 검증을 수행하였다. 그 결과 정량적 품질평가지수가 주관적 평가지수와 유사한 결과를 나타냄으로써 제시한 영상 품질평가지수를 이용하여 제작된 모자이크 영상에 대한 정량적이고 객관적인 모자이크 영상의 품질평가가 가능하다는 것을 보여주었다.

디스플레이의 대비는 일반적으로 디스플레이 최대 밝기와 최소 밝기의 비율을 이용하여 나타낸다. 그러나 이와 같은 명암비는 인간 시각의 인지 특성을 고려하지 않고 디스플레이의 물리적 특성만을 고려했기 때문에 인지 대비와 일치 하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 디스플레이 밝기 범위 내에서 인지적으로 구별 가능한 밝기를 고려한 대비 측정 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, 디스플레이의 인지 밝기 범위를 측정하기 위해 CIECAM02 색 공간에서 최대 밝기와 최소 밝기 사이의 길이를 계산한다. 다음으로, Weber-Fechner 법칙을 기반으로 하여 각 밝기에서 인지적으로 동일한 밝기 범위를 결정하고, 각 범위 내에 존재하는 색의 수를 계산한다. 마지막으로, 각각의 동일하게 인지되는 밝기 범위내의 색의 수와 인지적 대비 길이의 비율로 인지적으로 구별 가능한 밝기를 계산한다. 주관적 실험에서 제안한 방법은 이전의 인지 대비 측정법에 비해 주관적 인지 대비 실험 결과와 일치하는 결과를 보였다.
