Nowadays, many satellites regularly produce digital multispectral images of the earth's surface. Multispectral images may be displayed as color pictures by selecting three components for assignment to the primary colors. It is desired to enhance these images to generate a display picture that are representativde of their features. in this paper, a false color image processing algorithm is proposed for the purpose of enchancement of the multispectral images based on the human perception. The mean of each primary component is transformed to equalo. Intensity and saturation are enhanced by modified piecewise linear contrast strectching and saturation enhancement method. The proposed method has been successfully applied the LANDSAT TM image and shows good enhancement.

Purpose: The finite element method (FEM) is advantageous because it can save time and cost by reducing the number of samples and experiments in the effort to identify design factors. In computational problem-solving it is necessary that the exact material properties are input for achieving a reliable analysis. However, in the case of fiber boards, it is difficult to measure their cross-directional material properties because of their small thickness. In previous research studies, the Poisson's ratio was measured by analyzing ultrasonic wave velocities. Recently, the Poisson's ratio was measured using a high-speed digital camera. In this study, we measured the transverse strain of a fiber board and calculated its Poisson's ratio using a high-speed digital camera in order to apply these estimates to a FEM analysis of a fiber board, a corrugated board, and a corrugated box. Methods: Three different fiber board samples were used in a uniaxial tensile test. The longitudinal strain was measured using the Universal Testing Machine. The transverse strain was measured using an image processing method. To calculate the transverse strain, we acquired images of the fiber board before the test onset and before the fracture occurred. Acquired images were processed using the image processing program MATLAB. After the images were converted from color to binary, we calculated the width of the fiber board. Results: The calculated Poisson's ratio ranged between 0.2968-0.4425 (Machine direction, MD) and 0.1619-0.1751 (Cross machine direction, CD). Conclusions: This study demonstrates that measurement of the transverse properties of a fiber board is possible using image processing methods. Correspondingly, these processing methods could be used to measure material properties that are difficult to measure using conventional measuring methodologies that employ strain gauge extensometers.

The Estimation method for spectral reflectance of the object using five-band and nine-band have been developed. The five-band acquisition are required of five or three times same work for color image acquisition process. To solve the above problems, we proposed a new method that can be reconstructed spectral reflectance of object. The proposed method was to classify same hues corresponding a color stimulus, by using hue angle and chroma vector of a color stimulus. The reconstruction of spectral reflectance was examined by computer simulation, and evaluated by MSE(Mean Square Error) and color difference between the original and reconstructed spectral reflectance.

본 연구는 흙의 디지털 이미지로부터 획득된 토색을 기반으로 함수비를 예측하기 위한 기초단계로서 수행되었다. 서로 다른 다섯 가지 함수비로 조성된 주문진표준사 시료를 대상으로 광조건을 아홉 번 씩 바꿔가며 디지털 이미지를 촬영했다. 디지털 이미지 프로세싱을 통해 촬영된 시료의 토색을 CIELAB 색 표시계를 기반으로 획득하고, 광조건과 함수비에 따른 토색 변화를 분석했다. 그 결과, 불포화토의 토색 L^* 값은 조명의 조도와 높은 상관성을 보였고 a^*와 b^* 값은 조명의 색온도와 높은 상관성을 보였다. 또한 함수비가 증가하면 토색의 밝기를 나타내는 L^*가 감소하고, a^*와 b^*는 증가하여 토색이 초록과 파랑에서 멀어지고 빨강과 노랑에 가까워졌다. 광조건 및 함수비와 토색의 회귀분석 결과를 종합해 불규칙한 광조건에서 촬영된 실리카 계열의 모래의 토색을 기반으로 함수비를 예측하는 방법을 제안했으며, 제안된 방법을 통해 최대 오차 0.29% 수준으로 함수비를 예측할 수 있음을 확인했다.

The proliferation of digitized media(audio, image and video) is creating a processing need for copyright enforcement schemes that protect copyright ownership. we argue that a watermark must be placed in perceptually significant components of a signal if it is to be robust to signal distortions and malicious attack. In this paper, RGB coordinate image is transformed into LUV coordinate, it include the characteristics of, Human vision and then the UV component is transformed into NxN block DCT transform. we propose a technique for embedding the watermark of visually recognizable mark into the middle frequency domain of image.

Digital image processing is a process to analyze a large volume of information on digital images. In this study, Artemia hatching rate was measured by automatically classifying and counting cysts and larvae based on color imaging data from cyst hatching experiments using an image processing technique. The Artemia hatching rate estimation consists of a series of processes; a step to convert the scanned image data to a binary image data, a process to detect objects and to extract their shape information in the converted image data, an analysis step to choose an optimal discriminant function, and a step to recognize and classify the objects using the function. The function to classify Artemia cysts and larvae is optimally estimated based on the classification performance using the areas and the plan-form factors of the detected objects. The hatching rate using the image data obtained under the different experimental conditions was estimated in the range of 34-48%. It was shown that the maximum difference is about 19.7% and the average root-mean squared difference is about 10.9% as the difference between the results using an automatic counting (this study) and a manual counting were compared. This technique can be applied to biological specimen analysis using similar imaging information.

This paper proposes a new approach for enhancing digital images based on red channel information, which has the most analogous characteristics to invisible infrared rays. Specifically, a red channel in RGB space is used to analyze the image contents and improve the visual quality of the input images but it can cause unexpected problems, such as the over-enhancement of reddish input images. To resolve this problem, inter-channel correlations between the color channels were derived, and the weighting parameters for visually pleasant image fusion were estimated. Applying the parameters resulted in significant brightness as well as improvement in the dark and bright regions. Furthermore, simple contrast and color corrections were used to maintain the original contrast level and color tone. The main advantages of the proposed algorithm are 1) it can improve a given image considerably with a simple inter-channel correlation, 2) it can obtain a similar effect of using an extra infrared image, and 3) it is faster than other algorithms compared without artifacts including halo effects. The experimental results showed that the proposed approach could produce better natural images than the existing enhancement algorithms. Therefore, the proposed scheme can be a useful tool for improving the image quality in consumer imaging devices, such as compact cameras.

참조표와 벡터적응필터를 이용하여 디지털 하프톤컬러영상을 역하프토닝하는 방법을 제안한다. 하프토닝은 연속계조영상을 이진영상으로 변환하는 방법이고 이진영상을 연속계조영상으로 복원하는 것이 역하프토닝이다. 일반적으로 참조표를 이용한 방법은 처리속도가 빠르고 다양한 하프토닝방식에 대해서 고른 성능을 가진다. 참조표의 패턴을 정의하기 위해 사용하는 픽셀의 개수와 R, G, B 각 채널의 참조표를 어떻게 정의하는가는 참조표의 성능에 큰 영향을 미친다. 본 논문에서는 표현 가능한 패턴의 종류와 사용되는 메모리 양을 고려하여 16개의 픽셀을 이용하고 R, G, B 각 채널의 참조표를 통합하여 하나의 참조표를 사용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 21개의 픽셀을 이용하고 R, G, B 각 채널의 참조표를 독립적으로 사용하는 기존의 참조표 방법보다. 제안된 참조표가 더 좋은 PSNR을 가지며 속도가 빨라지는 것을 실험결과를 통해 확인하였다. 참조표에 존재하지 않는 패턴에 대한 처리방법으로는 주변 픽셀의 정보를 이용하여 컬러를 복원하는 벡터적응필터를 제안하였다. 벡터적응필터는 주변 픽셀이 원영상의 컬러를 잘 반영할수록 좋은 성능을 가진다. 제안된 벡터적응필터의 성능이 기존의 방법보다 더 좋은 성능을 보임을 실험으로 확인하였다. 이를 통해서 제안된 방법이 기존의 방법보다 컬러 복원성능도 더 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

A real-time inspection system has been developed by combining CCD based image processing algorithm and a standard lighting equipment. The system was tested for defective fabrics showing nozzle contact scratch marks, which are one of the frequently occurring defects. Two algorithms used were compared according to both their processing time and detection rate. First algorithm (algorithm A) was based on morphological image processing such as dilation and opening for effective treatment of defective printing areas while second one (algorithm B) mainly employs well-defined edge detection technique based on canny detector and Zermike moment. It was concluded' that although both algorithms were quite successful, algorithm B showed relatively consistent performance than algorithm A in detecting complex patterns.
