  • The chest X-ray image cannot be focused in the same manner that optical lenses are and the resultant image generally tends to be slightly blurred. Therefore, the methods to improve the quality of chest X-ray image have been studied. In this paper, the inherent noises of the input images are suppressed by adding the Laplacian image to the original. First, the chest X-ray image using an Gaussian high pass filter and an optimal high frequency emphasis filter has shown improvements in the edges and contrast of flat areas. Second, using fuzzy logic_histogram equalization, each pixel of the chest X-ray image shows the normal distribution of intensities that are not overexposed. As a result, the proposed method has shown the enhanced edge and contrast of the images with the noise canceling effect.

  • The image process for image enhancement applies differently the same algorithm for each application. So, the optimized value for each application is required. In this paper, the X-ray medical image using a high-pass filter was improved edges. The result image was improved edge and the contrast of flat area using a constant multiplier and offset. Therefore, the high-frequency emphasis filter optimized for medical image is required. These optimized values are the gaussian high-pass filter, the distance of cutoff frequency=0.05 and offset=0.5. From the result of optimaized simulation, The proposed method has enhanced contrast and edge of the image in the contrast of existing mothods.

  • Chest X-ray image cannot be focused in the same manner as optical lenses and the resultant image generally tends to be slightly blurred. Therefore, appropriate methods to improve the quality of chest X-ray image have been studied in this paper. As the frequency domain filters work well for slight blurring and moderate levels of additive noises, we propose an algorithm that is particularly suitable for enhancing chest image. First, the chest image using Gaussian high pass filter and the optimal high frequency emphasis filter shows improvements in the edges and contrast of the flat areas. Second, as compared to using histogram equalization where each pixel of chest image is characterized by a loss of detail and much noises, in using fuzzy logic, each pixel of chest image shows the detail preservation and little noise.

  • We propose and design a new type of anrrow band-pass optical filter based on two fiber gratings with different reflection wavelength. The ripples occur in the spectra of the filter with two uniform fiber gratings. Our simulation results also show that the ripples disappear with the fiber gratings apodized to both gaussian and hyperbolic tangent function. The hyperbolic tangent function seems to be a better apodization function for improving the filter's performance in terms of narrow pass bandwidth and high transmission.

  • Mini Double Gears Frame is critical part of PDP and also produces couple hundred thousand every month. In the process of mass production, product inspection is very important process. Double Gear, one of the part of machine, was inspected by human eyes which caused mistakes and slow progress. To achieve the speed and accuracy the system was compensated by vision system which is inspecting automatically. The focus value is measured based on the fact that high contrast images have much high frequency edge information. High frequency term of the image is extracted using the high-pass filter and the sum of the high frequency term is used as the focus value. We used a Gaussian smoothing filter to reduce the noise and then measures the focus value using the modified Laplacian filter called a Sum modified Laplacian Focus values for the various lens positions are calculated and the position with the maximum focus value is decided as the focused position. The focus values calculated in various lens position showed the Gaussian distribution. We proposed a method to estimate the best focus position using the Gaussian curve fitting. Focus values of the uniform interval lens positions are calculated and the values are used to estimate the Gaussian distribution parameters to find the best focus position.

  • The point spread function of defocussed image is known as two dimensional function, one of rectangular type and Gaussian type function and etc, and the defocussed image can be modeled as the convolved output between original image and the supposed PSF. But, in .case of analog method using the scanning line of TV camera, one dimensional Process can be effective, and it was shown thats the defocussed image can be analyzed as the convolved output betlween the original image and the pule with finite width in the horizontal irection. And uslng TV camera and a analog compound high pass filter, the restoration experiment Is matte and we have got some pictures with remarked improvements.

  • We investigated an anti-aliasing (AA) filter for digital camera photography by which the excessively high-frequency components of the image signal are suppressed to avoid the aliasing effect. Our optomechanical AA filter was implemented by applying rapid relative motions to the imaging sensor. By the engineered motion blur of the mechanical dithers, the effective point-spread function (PSF) of the imaging system could be tailored to reject the unwanted high-frequency components of the image. For optimal operations, we developed a spiral filter motion protocol that could produce a Gaussian-like PSF. We experimentally demonstrated that our AA filter provides an improved filtering characteristic with a better compromise of the rejection performance and the signal loss. We also found that the pass band characteristic can be enhanced further by a color-differential acquisition mode. Our filter scheme provides a useful method of digital photography for low-error image measurements as well as for ordinary photographic applications where annoying $moir{\acute{e}}$ patterns must be suppressed efficiently.

  • The paper presents an algorithm for estimating the variance of additive zero mean Gaussian noise in an image. The algorithm uses the wavelet transform which is a good tool for energy compaction. The algorithm consists of three steps. At first, high frequency components, wavelet coefficients in HH band, are generated from a noisy image by the wavelet transform. In a second step, high frequency components which are out of the noise range ate eliminated. Finally, if the image has many components eliminated in the previous step, then its noise estimated value is reduced. Experimental results show that the wavelet filter has better performance than the other high pass filters such as a Laplacian filter, residual from a median filter, residual from a mean filter, and a difference operator. In various images, the algorithm reduces 50% of estimated error on an average.

  • This paper proposed noise insensitive 4*4 mid frequency-OCT (MF-DCT) focus measure operator. Proposed operator enhanced low power 8*8 MDCT operator to have 4*4 rotationally same form for Gaussian noise. MF-DCT operator acting like band-pass filter suppresses both low-frequency signal useless for focus measure and high-frequency signal affected by impulsive noise. Also it is proved to be linear because it uses the energy of band-pass filtered signal as focus measure. Experimental result shows its superiority by comparing AUM with traditional operators.
