This paper proposes a novel watermarking method to discover the tampers and localize it in digital image. The image which is to be used to generate a watermark is first wavelet decomposed and the edge feature from the sub bands of high frequency coefficients are retrieved to generate a watermark (Edge Feature Image) and which is to be embed on the cover image. Before embedding the watermark, the pixels of cover image are disordered through the Arnold Transform and this helps to upgrade the security of the watermark. The embedding of generated edge feature image is done only on the Least Significant Bit (LSB) of the cover image. The invisibleness and robustness of the proposed method is computed using Peak-Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Normalized Correlation (NC) and it proves that the proposed method delivers good results and the proposed method also detects and localizes the tampers efficiently. The invisibleness of proposed method is compared with the existing method and it proves that the proposed method is better.

In this paper we propose the CBIR algorithm which is based on a novel image block method that combined both color and edge feature. The main drawback of global histogram representation is dependent of the color without spatial or shape information, a new image block method that divided the image to 8 related blocks which contained more information of the image is utilized to extract image feature. Based on these 8 blocks, histogram equalization and edge detection techniques are also used for image retrieval. The experimental results show that the proposed image block method has better ability of characterizing the image contents than traditional block method and can perform the retrieval system efficiently.

This paper presents a new approach for underwater image analysis using the bi-dimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) technique and the phase congruency information. The BEMD algorithm, fully unsupervised, it is mainly applied to texture extraction and image filtering, which are widely recognized as a difficult and challenging machine vision problem. The phase information is the very stability feature of image. Recent developments in analysis methods on the phase congruency information have received large attention by the image researchers. In this paper, the proposed method is called the EP model that inherits the advantages of the first two algorithms, so this model is suitable for processing underwater image. Moreover, the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is presented in this paper to solve the problem that the threshold is greatly affected by personal experience when underwater image edge detection is performed using the EP model. The EP images are computed using combinations of the Canny detector parameters, and the binaryzation image results are generated accordingly. The ideal EP edge feature extractive maps are estimated using correspondence threshold which is optimized by ROC analysis. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is able to avoid the operation error caused by manual setting of the detection threshold, and to adaptively set the image feature detection threshold. The proposed method has been proved to be accuracy and effectiveness by the underwater image processing examples.

본 논문은 불확실한 객체의 영상 정보를 객체의 에지 특징정보를 이용하여 내용기반검색기법으로 CBIRS/EFI을 제안했다. 특히 객체의 부분 영상 정보의 경우 효율적으로 검색하기 위해 객체의 특징 정보 중 윤곽선 정보와 색체정보 추출하여 검색기법이다. 이를 실험하기 위해 지하 주차장의 차량 이미지를 캡처한후 객체의 특징 정보를 위한 차량의 측면 에지 특징 정보를 추출하였다. 검색하고자하는 원 영상과 특징 추출한 영상을 분석 결과와 최종 유사도 측정 결과에 의해 내용기반 검색을 적용하는 시스템으로, 기존 특징 추출 내용 기반 영상 검색 시스템인 FE-CBIRS 시스템에 비해 검색율의 정확성과 효율성을 향상 시키는 기능이 보완되었다. CBIRS/EF시스템의 성능평가는 차량의 색상 정보와 차량의 에지 추출 특징 정보를 적용하여 영역 특징정보를 검색하는 과정에서 색상 특징 검색 시간, 모양 특징 검색 시간과 검색 율을 비교 했다. 차량 에지 특징 추출률의 경우 91.84% 추출하였고, 차량 색상 검색 시간, 모양 특징 검색시간, 유사도 검색시간에서 CBIRS/EFI가 FE-CBIRS 보다 평균 검색시간이 평균 0.4~0.9초의 차이를 보고 있어 우수한 것으로 증명되었다.

Finding line segments in an intensity image has been one of the most fundamental issues in computer vision. In complex scenes, it is hard to detect the locations of point features. Line features are more robust in providing greater positional accuracy. In this paper we present a robust "line features extraction" algorithm which extracts line feature in a single pass without using any assumptions and constraints. Our algorithm consists of five steps: (1) edge scanning, (2) edge normalization, (3) line-blob extraction, (4) line-feature computation, and (5) line linking. By using edge scanning, the computational complexity due to too many edge pixels is drastically reduced. Edge normalization improves the local quantization error induced from the gradient space partitioning and minimizes perturbations on edge orientation. We also analyze the effects of edge processing, and the least squares-based method and the principal axis-based method on the computation of line orientation. We show its efficiency with some real images.al images.

To improve the brightness of images and reveal hidden information in dark areas is the main objective of low-light image enhancement (LLIE). LLIE methods based on deep learning show good performance. However, there are some limitations to these methods, such as the complex network model requires highly configurable environments, and deficient enhancement of edge details leads to blurring of the target content. Single-scale feature extraction results in the insufficient recovery of the hidden content of the enhanced images. This paper proposed an edge detection-based multi-scale feature enhancement network for LLIE (EDMFEN). To reduce the loss of edge details in the enhanced images, an edge extraction module consisting of a Sobel operator is introduced to obtain edge information by computing gradients of images. In addition, a multi-scale feature enhancement module (MSFEM) consisting of multi-scale feature extraction block (MSFEB) and a spatial attention mechanism is proposed to thoroughly recover the hidden content of the enhanced images and obtain richer features. Since the fused features may contain some useless information, the MSFEB is introduced so as to obtain the image features with different perceptual fields. To use the multi-scale features more effectively, a spatial attention mechanism module is used to retain the key features and improve the model performance after fusing multi-scale features. Experimental results on two datasets and five baseline datasets show that EDMFEN has good performance when compared with the stateof-the-art LLIE methods.

본 논문에서는 칼라와 에지 정보를 이용한 내용기반 영상검색 기법을 제안하였다. 기존의 RGB 공간 정보를 이용하기 보다는, 시각적 인식에 보다 중점을 둔 HSI칼라 공간에서 고찰하였다. 비슷한 류의 색을 대표색으로 통합 표현하여, 개선된 칼라 정보 이용법을 본 연구에서 제안하였다. 또한 칼라 정보만을 이용했을 때의 시스템 성능상의 결점을 보완하기 위하여, 효율적인 에지 디텍션 기법을 함께 사용하였다. 칼라와 에지 기법을 통합함에 있어서, 각각의 기법에 적절한 가중치를 배분함으로써 시스템 성능을 실험적으로 향상시켰다.

This paper proposes the efficient preprocessing method based on curvelet transform for edge enhancement in image. The propose method is generated the edge map by using the Canny algorithm to wavelet transform, which is the sub-step of the curvelet transform. In order to improve the part of edge feature, the selective sharpening according to the generate edge map is applied. In experimental result, the propose method achieves that the enhancement of edge feature is better than conventional methods. This leads that peak to signal noise ratio, edge intensity are improvement on average about 1.92, 1.12dB respectively.
