We present fast stereo matching algorithm using edge projection. Traditional stereo matching algorithm uses 2D template for the search of corresponding point thus it requires huge the computational cost. In this paper, we reduce the 2D search problem into 1D using edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction inside the region of interest. Also, by accumulation of edge projection along vertical and horizontal direction, the edge projection within the region of interest could simply be obtained by just subtracting two values. Experimental results show that matching algorithm using edge projection also gives comparable discriminating power compared to that of using intensity.

In this study, we propose the automatic extraction method of Rescue Requests from Drone Images. A central object is extracted from each image by using central object extraction method[7] before classification. A central object in an images are defined as a set of regions that is lined around center of the image and has significant texture distribution against its surrounding. In this case of artificial objects, edge of straight line is often found, and texture is regular and directive. However, natural object's case is not. Such characteristics are extracted using Edge direction histogram energy and texture Gabor energy. The Edge direction histogram energy calculated based on the direction of only non-circular edges. The texture Gabor energy is calculated based on the 24-dimension Gebor filter bank. Maximum and minimum energy along direction in Gabor filter dictionary is selected. Finally, the extracted rescue requestor object areas using the dominant features of the objects. Through experiments, we obtain accuracy of more than 75% for extraction method using each features.

In this paper, we propose a new compression method for the edge image by analyzing the characteristics and the distribution of pixel values of the edge image. The pixel values of the edge image have the Gaussian distribution around '0', and most of the pixel values are `0`. By these analyses we suggest the Zero-Based codec that expresses all values in a CU by a single bit flag. Also, in order to reduce the computational complexity of the proposed codec, the block partition and the intra-prediction techniques are proposed by using edge information like the number of each edge direction, the distribution and the amplitude of a major edge direction in the CU. Experimental results show that the proposed codec leads to a slighter distortion in Y domain than that of HEVC, but has far faster processing speed up to 53 times while it maintains the similar image quality compared to HEVC.

본 논문은 효율적인 시각적 향상을 보여주는 새로운 비월 주사 방식 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 알고리듬은 새로운 거리 가중치를 고려하며 이전에 개발되었던 EDI (Edge Dependent Interpolation) 알고리듬과 NAL (New Adaptive Linear interpolation) 알고리듬을 이용한다. 비월 주사 기법은 크게 2단계로 나된다. 우선 에지의 방향을 근접한 화소들의 정보를 이용하여 결정한다. 그리고 나서 잃어버린 화소 값들을 결정된 에지의 방향을 따라 보간 한다. 본 논문에서는 EDI 알고리듬을 통해 에지를 예측한 후에 NAL 알고리듬을 바탕으로 거리 가중치를 이용함으로써 잃어버린 화소들을 보간 한다. 실험 결과는 제안된 알고리듬이 기존의 알고리듬들보다 객관적 및 주관적인 평가에서 우수함을 입증한다.

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.

본 논문에서는 수평 방향의 에지 패턴을 고려한 새로운 순차주사화(de-interlacing) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적으로 기존의 에지를 고려한 순차주사화 알고리즘은 한 장의 필드만을 사용한 다른 순차주사화 알고리즘들에 비해 시각적으로 우수한 결과를 나타낸다. 그러나 에지의 방향을 잘못 추정할 경우, 결과 영상에서 심각한 에러가 발생하므로, 이를 보완하고 정확한 에지의 방향을 찾아내기 위해, 기존의 크기의 차 성분만을 이용한 방법들과는 달리 에지의 패턴까지 고려하여 에지를 고려한 순차주사화(EDI: edge dependent interpolation)가 제안된다. 제안된 새로운 알고리즘은 기존의 방법에 비해 수치상으로도 시각적으로도 뛰어난 결과를 산출한다.

This paper proposes a fast patch-based de-blurring algorithm including kernel estimation based on the angle between the edge and the blur direction. For de-blurring, image patches from the most informative edges in the blurry image are used to estimate a kernel with low computational cost. Moreover, the kernels of each patch are estimated based on the correlation between the edge direction and the blur direction. This makes the final kernel more reliable and creates an accurate latent image from the blurry image. The combination of directionally oriented kernel estimation and patch-based de-blurring is faster and more accurate than existing state-of-the art methods. Experimental results using various test images show that the proposed method achieves its objectives: speed and accuracy.

In this paper, we proposed a novel edge-oriented color interpolation method which determine the edge direction with hard-decision based on high correlation between different channels. The novel edge direction estimation criterion improves the color interpolation method especially on edges by considering high frequencies between channels.

본 논문에서는 하나의 필드만을 사용하여 비월 주사 영상을 순차 주사 영상으로 변환하는 디인터레이싱 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, ELA 기법을 이용하여 에지의 방향성을 예측한다. 에지의 방향성을 정확히 예측하였을 경우에는 ELA(Edge-based Line Average) 기법에 의한 화소를 보간하고 에지의 방향을 잘못 예측하였을 경우에는 다시 새로운 에지의 방향을 결정한다. 결정된 방향에 대하여 화소를 본 논문에서 제안한 중간값 필터(median filter)를 이용하여 보간한다. 모의실험 결과 기존의 비인터레이싱 방법에 비해 주관적 및 객관적 화질이 개선됨을 보인다.

The H.264/AVC standard has adopted new coding tools such as intra-prediction, variable block size, motion estimation with quarter-pixel-accuracy, loop filter, and so on. The adoption of these tools enables an H.264/AVC-coded bitstream to have more information than was possible with previous standards. In this paper, we propose an effective spatial error concealment method with low complexity in H.264/AVC intra-frame. From information included in an H.264/AVC-coded bitstream, we use prediction modes of intra-blocks to recover a damaged block. This is because the prediction direction in each prediction mode is highly correlated to the edge direction. We first estimate the edge direction of a damaged block using the prediction modes of the intra-blocks adjacent to a damaged block and classify the area inside the damaged block into edge and flat areas. Our method then recovers pixel values in the edge area using edge-directed interpolation, and recovers pixel values in the flat area using weighted interpolation. Simulation results show that the proposed method yields better video quality than conventional approaches.
