This paper presents a modified mean curvature diffusion filter to smooth speckle noise in images. Mean curvature diffusion filter has already shown good results in reducing noise in images while preserving fine details. In the mean curvature diffusion, the rate of smoothing is controlled by the local value of the diffusion coefficient chosen to be a function of the local image gradient magnitude. In this paper, the diffusion coefficient is modified to be controlled adaptively by local image surface slope and heterogeneity. The local surface slope contributes to preserving details (e.g.edges) in image and the local surface heterogeneity helps the smoothing filter consider the amount of noise in both edge and non-edge area. The proposed filter's performance is demonstrated by quantitative experiments using speckle noised aerial image and TerraSAR-X satellite image.

Recently, it was reported that gaussian distribution and difference of two gaussians (DOG) to have band pass characteristics can be generated by simple iterative processes of the diffusion networks. In this paper, we propose method of improved implementation of a diffusion filter which can reduce total runing time, and operate by simple algorithm in contrast to the latest diffusion filter. We rebuild the diffusion network to a difference network which can generate DOG independently. Different filter characteristics are obtained just by each diffusion process and difference process. Quantitative analysis shows that the center frequency and the selectivity of each filter channel can be varied independently. Also, it would requires smaller amount of hardwares than conventioanl method to build a filter bank.

The purpose of this research is to find out the collection property of nanoparticle in diffusion filter to know particle size dispersion of nanomaterial using inertial force and principle of Brownian diffusion motion. We used inertial filters which are two different type and diffusion filters made by various kinds of Wiremesh and the different pieces of filter to compare with particle size distribution using NaCl particles. Finally, We made a conclusion as follows : (1) the bigger available charging volume is and the larger specific surface area of inertial filter is, the better collection efficiency is. (2) The higher wire-mesh number of filter is, the more collection efficiency of small particle is increasing because the wire of the higher Wiremesh number filter is thinner and denser. (3) The more pieces of wire-mesh filter, the more collection efficiency is increasing because it makes the residence time longer.

본 논문은 수정된 이방성 확산 펄터를 이용한 영상 개선 방법을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 최소 신뢰 스케일을 기반으로 하는 센서 잡음 추정과 스케일 스페이스 방법을 도입하였다. 이때 이방성 필터는 구해진 임계값 함수와 국부 기울기에 의해 수정되었다. 모의 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 평탄 영역에서의 잡음을 거의 증폭시키지 않으면서도 뛰어난 에지 향상을 보임을 증명할 수 있었다.

In this paper, a band-pass filter is implemented with the diffusion and difference processes by using the diffusion neural network model. The center frequency of this band-pass filter can be varied by iterations of the diffusion and difference operations, and the selectivity can be determined by iterations of the difference operation. We propose an efficient algorithm that can generate various band-pass filters using arbitrary diffusion and difference iterations. This algorithm needs only simple operations of diffusion and difference.

The essential idea of de-noising is referring to neighboring pixels of a center pixel to be updated. Conventional adaptive de-noising filters use local statistics, i.e., mean and variance, of neighboring pixels including the center pixel. The drawback of adaptive de-noising filters is that their performance becomes low when edges are contained in neighboring pixels, while anisotropic diffusion de-noising filters remove adaptively noises and preserve edges considering intensity difference between neighboring pixel and the center pixel. The anisotropic diffusion de-noising filters, however, use only intensity difference between neighboring pixels and the center pixel, i.e., local statistics of neighboring pixels and the center pixel are not considered. We propose a new connectivity function of two adjacent pixels using statistics of neighboring pixels and apply connectivity function to diffusion coefficient. Experimental results using an aerial image corrupted by uniform and Gaussian noises showed that the proposed algorithm removed more efficiently noises than conventional diffusion filter and median filter.

본 연구에서는 비등방성 2차원 확산 기반 필터를 이용하여 전산화단층영상(computed tomography, CT)의 노이즈 제거와 공간분해능을 향상하고자 하였다. 실험은 4-채널 다중검출기 전산화단층영상기기(4-channel multi-detector computed tomography, MDCT)를 이용하였으며, CT 영상품질 평가를 위해 미국 의학물리학자협의회(american association of physicists in medicine, AAPM) CT 성능 평가용 팬톰을 사용하였다. X-선 조사 조건은 120 kVp, 100 mAs로 고정한 후 ultra-high resolution으로 10 mm 축 방향 스캔 하였다. 본 연구에서 제안한 비등방성 2차원 확산 기반 필터는 원 영상에 각 픽셀에 가중치 1.2를 곱하고 0.4% 히스토그램 스트레칭을 통해 영상의 대조도를 증가시킨 후 비등방성 2차원 확산 필터를 적용하였다. 그 결과, 공간분해능은 원 영상에서 0.75 mm까지 구분되었지만 제안한 비등방성 2차원 확산 기반 필터 영상에서는 0.40 mm까지 구분되었다. 원 영상의 노이즈는 46.0, 제안한 비등방성 2차원 확산 기반 필터 영상의 노이즈는 33.5로 27.2%가 감소하였다. 우리가 제안한 비등방성 2차원 확산 기반 필터는 CT의 노이즈 제거와 공간분해능을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose an edge profile adaptive bi-directional diffusion interpolation method which consists of shock filter and level set. In recent years many interpolation methods have been proposed but all methods have some degrees of artifacts such as blurring and jaggies. To solve these problems, we adaptively apply shock filter and level set method where shock filter enhances edge along the normal direction and level set method removes jaggies artifact along the tangent direction. After the initial interpolation, weights of shock filter and level set are locally adjusted according to the edge profile. By adaptive coupling shock filter with level set method, the proposed method can remove jaggies artifact and enhance the edge. Experimental results show that the average PSNR and MSSIM of our method are increased, and contour smoothness and edge sharpness are also improved.

The error diffusion is good for reproducing continuous image to binary image. However the reproduction of edge characteristics is weak in power spectrum analysis of display error. It is suggested for us an edge-enhanced error-diffusion method that is included pre-processing algorithm for edge characteristic enhancement. Pre-processing algorithm is organized horizontal and vertical directional 2nd order differential values and weighting function of pre-filter. The improved Error diffusion using pre-filter, presents a good results visually which edge characteristics is enhanced. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared with that of the conventional edge-enhanced error diffusion by measuring the RAPSD of display error, the egde correlation and the local average accordance.

오차확산 하프토닝 기법은 연속계조 영상을 이진영상으로 생성시 우수한 재현성을 보인다. 그러나 표시오차의 특성분석에서 경계정보의 재현성이 다소 떨어지는 특성을 보인다. 이러한 경계정보의 재현성 개선하기 위해 전처리 필터를 적용하는 오차확산 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 전처리 필터는 원영상의 수평 및 수직 방향의 미분값, 필터의 가중치 함수로 구성된다. 첫째, 원영상의 수평 및 수직 방향의 미분값은 현재 화소를 중심으로 하여 $3{\times}3$ 인접화소에 Sobel 연산자를 적용시켜 얻는다. 둘째, 필터의 가중치 함수는 미분값의 크기를 포함하는 함수와 미분값의 부호로 구성된다. 제안한 기법을 적용한 하프토닝 영상은 경계가 강조되어 시각적으로 선명한 결과를 보인다. 원영상과 오차확산된 하프토닝 영상과의 차이(표시오차)를 환상 평균 전력 스펙트럼 밀도를 이용하여 기존의 경계강조 오차확산 알고리즘과 비교한다.
