High dynamic range (HDR) images can present the perfect real scene and rich color information. A commonly encountered problem in practical applications is how to well visualize HDR images on standard display devices. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale decomposition method using guided filtering for HDR image tone mapping. In our algorithm, HDR images are directly decomposed into three layers：base layer, coarse scale detail layer and fine detail layer. We propose an effective function to compress the base layer and the coarse scale detail layer. An adaptive function is also proposed for detail adjustment. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm effectively accomplishes dynamic range compression and maintains good global contrast as well as local contrast. It also presents more image details and keeps high color saturation.

Image denoising is considered as a key factor for capturing high-quality photos in digital cameras. Thus far, several image denoising methods have been proposed in the past decade. In addition, previous studies either relied on deep learning-based approaches or used the hand-crafted filters. Unfortunately, the previous method mostly emphasized on image denoising regardless of preserving or recovering the detail information in result images. This study proposes an detail extraction network to estimate detail information from a noisy input image. Moreover, the extracted detail information is utilized to enhance the final denoised image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can outperform the existing works by a subjective measurement.

In this paper, we propose an efficient edge preserving smoothing filter for Infrared image that can reduce noise while preserving edge information. Infrared images suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio, low edge detail information and low contrast. So, detail enhancement and noise reduction play crucial roles in infrared image processing. We first apply a guided image filter as a local analysis. After the filtering process, we optimization globally using relativity of guided image filter. Our method outperforms the previous methods in removing the noise while preserving edge information and detail enhancement.

It is very often necessary to search for similar parts during designing a new product because its parts are often easily designed by modifying existing similar parts. In this way, the design time and cost can be reduced. Thus it would be nice to have an efficient similarity comparison algorithm that can be used anytime in the design process. There have been many approaches to compare shape similarity between two solids. In this paper, two parts represented in B-Rep is compared in two steps: one for overall appearances and the other for detail features. In the first step, geometric information is used in low level of detail for easy and fast pre-classification by the overall appearance. In the second step, feature information is used to compare the detail shape in high level of detail to find more similar design. To realize the idea above, a multi resolution algorithm is proposed so that a given solid is described by an overall appearance in a low resolution and by detail features in high resolution. Using this multi-resolution representation, parts can be compared based on the overall appearance first so that the number of parts to be compared in high resolution is reduced, and then detail features are investigated to retrieve the most similar part. In this way, computational time can be reduced by the fast classification in the first step while reliability can be preserved by detail comparison in the second step.

영상의 밝기가 집중되어 콘트라스트가 낮은 영상의 경우 히스토그램 평활화를 이용하면 영상내의 정보를 쉽게 분별할 수 있다. 기존의 기법에서는 콘트라스트 향상이 초점이었기 때문에 과한 콘트라스트 향상은 인지적으로 부자연스러운 영상을 생성하는 문제가 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해서 CLAHE 방법은 일정크기로 콘트라스트 향상을 제한하는 기법으로 부자연스러움을 해결하였으나 이러한 경우 영상 내 디테일 정보가 은닉되는 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 콘트라스트의 제한으로 인한 디테일 정보의 손실을 피하기 위해서 다중 레이어 블록 오버랩 히스토그램 평활화 기법을 기반으로 원 영상의 디테일에 대한 판별을 통해 각 레이어의 마스크를 이용한 디테일 맵을 구성한다. 각 레이어별로 디테일 맵을 이용한 제한된 콘트라스트 향상으로 생성된 영상들을 병합하여 영상 내 정보의 손실을 최소화하였다.

The goal of image merging techniques are to enhance the resolution of low-resolution images using the detail information of the high-resolution images. Among the several image merging methods, wavelet-based image merging techniques have the advantages of efficient decorrelation of image bands and time-scale analysis. However, they have no regard for spatial information between the bands. In other words, multiresolution data merging methods merge the same information-the detail information of panchromatic image-with other band images, without considering specific characteristics. Therefore, a merged image contains much unnecessary information. In this paper, we discussed this 'mixing' effect and, proposed a method to classify the detail information of the panchromatic image according to the spatial and spectral characteristics, and to minimize distortion of the merged image.

In this paper, we propose a contrast enhancement algorithm using guided image filter (GIF). The GIF is used to divide an HDR image into a base layer and a detail layer. The energy scale of base layer determinate the darkness and brightness of the image. However, the detail information in the base layer is difficult to be displayed because of the high brightness and clusters of low brightness. We propose a contrast enhancement method by adjusting the gray level of base layer by subtracting the mean value of itself. It is combined with the detail layer to preserve the detail information. Experiment results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance in detail preservation and contrast enhancement.

Representing 3-D objects with LOD requires a set of appropriate meshes according to the detail requirements. We have developed a system for improved geometry model data transmission and management by having only the wavelet coefficienets of the model corresponding to the detail levels, instead of generation all the meshes through wavelet transformation, when generating multiresolution meshes.

This paper proposes a new dynamic storage structure and methods fur geometric data with detail levels. Using geometric data with detail levels, we can search geometric data quickly. However, the previous structures for detail levels form the bottleneck in the design of database and do not support all types of geometric data with detail levels. Our structure supports all types of geometric data with detail levels. Moreover, our structure does not form bottleneck in the design of database. This paper presents the structure and algorithms for searching and updating of geometric data with detail levels. Experiments are then performed.

The purpose of multimodal medical image fusion (MMIF) is to integrate images of different modes with different details into a result image with rich information, which is convenient for doctors to accurately diagnose and treat the diseased tissues of patients. Encouraged by this purpose, this paper proposes a novel method based on a two-scale decomposer and detail preservation model. The first step is to use the two-scale decomposer to decompose the source image into the energy layers and structure layers, which have the characteristic of detail preservation. And then, structure tensor operator and max-abs are combined to fuse the structure layers. The detail preservation model is proposed for the fusion of the energy layers, which greatly improves the image performance. The fused image is achieved by summing up the two fused sub-images obtained by the above fusion rules. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method has superior performance compared with the state-of-the-art fusion methods.
