This thesis explores the problem of reconstructing a three-dimensional(3D) scene given a set of images or image sequences of the scene. It describes efficient methods for the 3D reconstruction of static and dynamic scenes from stereo images, stereo image sequences, and images captured from multiple viewpoints. Novel methods for image-based and volumetric modelling approaches to 3D reconstruction are presented, with an emphasis on the development of efficient algorithm which produce high quality and accurate reconstructions. For image-based 3D reconstruction a novel energy minimisation scheme, Iterated Dynamic Programming, is presented for the efficient computation of strong local minima of discontinuity preserving energyy functions. Coupled with a novel morphological decomposition method and subregioning schemes for the efficient computation of a narrowband matching cost volume. the minimisation framework is applied to solve problems in stereo matching, stereo-temporal reconstruction, motion estimation, 2D image registration and 3D image registration. This thesis establishes Iterated Dynamic Programming as an efficient and effective energy minimisation scheme suitable for computer vision problems which involve finding correspondences across images. For 3D reconstruction from multiple view images with arbitrary camera placement, a novel volumetric modelling technique, Embedded Voxel Colouring, is presented that efficiently embeds all reconstructions of a 3D scene into a single output in a single scan of the volumetric space under exact visibility. An adaptive thresholding framework is also introduced for the computation of the optimal set of thresholds to obtain high quality 3D reconstructions. This thesis establishes the Embedded Voxel Colouring framework as a fast, efficient and effective method for 3D reconstruction from multiple view images.

The construction of panoramic images on smartphones and low-powered devices is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a new approach for smoothly stitching images on mobile phones in the presence of moving objects in the scene. Our main contributions include handling moving object problems, reducing processing time, and generating rectangular panoramic images. First, unique and robust feature points are extracted using fast ORB method and a feature matching technique is applied to match the extracted feature points. After obtaining good matched feature points, we employ the non-deterministic RANSAC algorithm to discard wrong matches, and the hommography transformation matrix parameters are estimated with the algorithm. Afterward, we determine precise overlap regions of neighboring images and calculate their absolute differences. Then, thresholding operation and noise removal filtering are applied to create a mask of possible moving object regions. Sequentially, an optimal seam is estimated using dynamic programming algorithm, and a combination of linear blending with the mask information is applied to avoid seam transition and ghosting artifacts. Finally, image-cropping operation is utilized to obtain a rectangular boundary image from the stitched image. Experiments demonstrate that our method is able to produce panoramic images quickly despite the existence of moving objects.

The wide dynamic range and severely attenuated contrast in mediastinal area appearing in typical chest radiographs have often caused difficulties in effective visualization and diagnosis of lung diseases. This paper proposes a new adaptive image enhancement technique which potentially solves this problem and there by improves observer performance through image processing. In the proposed method image processing is applied to the chest radiograph with different processing parameters for the lung field and mediastinum adaptively since there are much differences in anatomical and imaging properties between these two regions. To achieve this the chest radiograph is divided into the lung and mediastinum by gray level thresholding using the cumulative histogram and the dynamic range compression and local contrast enhancement are carried out selectively in the mediastinal region. Thereafter a gray scale transformation is performed considering the JND(just noticeable difference) characteristic for effective image displa. The processed images showed apparenty improved contrast in mediastinum and maintained moderate brightness in the lung field. No artifact could be observed. In the visibility evaluation experiment with 5 radiologists the processed images with better visibility was observed for the 5 important anatomical structures in the thorax.

In order to compute cloud coverage statistics over Asian region, an operational scheme for masking cloud-contaminated pixels in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) daytime data was developed, evaluated and presented. Dynamic thresholding was used with channell, 2 and 3 to automatically create a cloud mask for a single image. Then the IO-day cloud coverage imagery was generated over the whole Asian region along with cloud-free composite imagery. Finally the monthly based statistics were computed based on the derived cloud coverage imagery in terms of land cover and country. As a result, it was found that 20-day is required to acquire the cloud free data over the whole Asia using NOAA AVHRR. The to-day cloud coverage and cloud-free composite imagery derived in this research is available via the web-site http://webpanda.iis.u-tokyo.ac.jp/CloudCover/.

Since land pixels often generate false alarms in ship detection using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), land masking is a necessary step which can be processed by a land area map or water database. However, due to the continuous coastline changes caused by newport, bridge, etc., an updated data should be considered to mask either the land or the oceanic part of SAR. Furthermore, coastal concrete facilities make noise signals, mainly caused by side lobe effect. In this paper, we propose two methods. One is a semi-automatic water body data generation method that consists of terrain correction, thresholding, and median filter. Another is a dynamic land masking method based on water database. Based on water database, it uses a breadth-first search algorithm to find and mask noise signals from coastal concrete facilities. We verified our methods using Sentinel-1 SAR data. The result shows that proposed methods remove maximum 84.42% of false alarms.

Real-time image processing algorithms to detect position and orientation of rectangular type electronic components are developed. The position detection algorithm is implemented with the use of projection method which is insensitive to noise. Also dynamic thresholding method of projection is employed in order to distinguish between the boundary of a component and any marking on the component. The orientation is determined by Hough transform of boundary candidates of a component, which is obtained a priori by a simple edge detection method. For real-time processing of both position and orientation for a component which is not aligned well, parallel processing method of image data is proposed and tested in real-time.

This paper introduces a compression technique for power qualify disturbance signal via discrete wavelet transform(DWT). The proposed approach is based on a previous estimation of the stationary component of power quality disturbance signal, so that it could be subtracted from the original signal in order to reduce a dynamic range of signal and generate transient events signal, which is subsequently applied to the compression technique. The compression techniques is performed through the difference signal decomposition, thresholding of wavelet coefficients, and signal reconstruction. It presents the relation between compression efficiency and threshold. It shouts that the wavelet transform leads to a power quality data compression approach with high compression efficiency, small compression error and good de-nosing effect.

본 논문에서는 사람의 손동작에 의해 모바일장치상의 전기장센서를 통해 감지되는 동작신호의 실시간 검출 및 프레임 추출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 동작인식에 사용되는 전기장센서는 주변 환경 및 시점에 따라 랜덤잡음 및 센서 표면의 초기 대전상태의 가변적인 특성으로 인해 안정적으로 동작신호를 검출하는데 어려움이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 환경에서도 안정적이고 강건하게 동작신호를 감지하여 검출할 수 있는 동적문턱치 방법(dynamic thresholding method)을 제안한다. 동작발생감지여부는 10Hz low-pass 필터와 MA(Motion Average) 필터를 통한 입력신호가 특정 문턱 전압값을 넘을 경우 감지되는데 감지 시점 센서상의 정전하상태가 가변적이므로 주기적으로 offset 값을 계산하여 새로운 문턱치를 동적으로 적용하는 방법이다. 이러한 방법으로 동작신호 감지율을 98% 이상으로 향상 시킬 수 있었다. 또한 일단 동작이 감지되면 정문턱치(positive thresold)와 부문턱치(negative threshold)의 통과시점, 횟수와 평균 동작주기를 고려한 동작신호프레임 알고리즘을 제안하였으며 이의 프레임추출 성공률도 98% 이상의 성능을 보였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘으로 추출된 동작신호는 이후 신호정규화를 거쳐 LSTN 심층신경망 인식부를 거쳐 높은 손동작 인식률을 보임으로서 제안된 알고리즘의 우수함을 입증하였다.

윈도우 기반의 영상처리는 전체 영상처리 분야에 있어서 기본이 되는 분야이다. 이러한 윈도우 기반의 영상처리는 처리해야 할 데이터와 연산이 매우 많은 편이기 때문에 범용 컴퓨터 구조에서 소프트웨어 프로그램을 사용하여 윈도우 기반 영상처리에서 필요로 하는 모든 연산을 실시간으로 수행하기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array)를 사용하여 윈도우 기반 영상처리를 실시간으로 수행할 수 있는 병렬 하드웨어 구조를 제안하고자 한다. 또한 제안한 구조를 통해 VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language)을 이용하여 윈도우 기반의 영상처리 중 하나인 동적 문턱치화(dynamic thresholding) 회로와 국부 히스토그램 평활화(local histogram equalization) 회로를 설계하고 FPGA로 해당 회로를 구현할 것이다. 구현된 회로의 성능 측정도 다루어 진다.
