A process of identifying moving objects from data is typical task in many computer vision applications. In this paper, we propose a motion segmentation method that generally consists from background subtraction and foreground pixel segmentation. The Approximated Median Filter (AMF) was chosen to perform background modelling. To demonstrate the effectiveness of proposed approach, we tested it gray-scale video data as well as RGB color space.

This paper introduces a new preprocessing scheme to replace original data of gray scale images with particular ordered data so that performance of lossless compression can be improved more efficiently. As a kind of preprocessing technique to maximize performance of entropy encoder, the proposed method converts the input image data into more compressible form. Before encoding a stream of the input image, the proposed preprocessor counts co-occurrence frequencies for neighboring pixel pairs. Then, it replaces each pair of adjacent gray values with particular ordered numbers based on the investigated co-occurrence frequencies. When compressing ordered image using entropy encoder, we can expect to raise compression rate more highly because of enhanced statistical feature of the input image. In this paper, we show that lossless compression rate increased by up to 37.85% when comparing results from compressing preprocessed and non-preprocessed image data using entropy encoder such as Huffman, Arithmetic encoder.

이 논문에서는 디지털 영상의 퍼지 시스템 표현으로부터 유도된 Edge 검출 알고리듬에 대하여 기술한다. 이 알고리듬은 Gradient을 기반으로 한 것으로 Convolution Kernel이 기존의 Roberts, Prewitt 또는 Sobel등이 제안한 Gradient Kernel과 다른 새로운 것이다. 사용한 퍼지시스템은 디지털 영상을 근사적으로 표현한 Bicubic Spline 함수를 퍼지시스템 화한것으로서 2차 도함수가 연속이기 때문에 Gradient나 Laplacian 연산이 가능하다. Grid 점들에서 이 함수의 Gradient는 두 개의 축 방향으로 각각 한개의 3$\times$3행렬과 영상과의 Covolution에 의하여 산출됨을 보였으며 이를 이용하여 검출된 Edge들은 기존의 다른 방법을 사용하여 검출된 Edge 영상보다 훨씬 선명함을 확인하였다. 이 알고리듬 적용사례 2개에 대한 기술에 포함되어 있다.

디지털 미디어와 통신 네트워크의 급속한 발전으로 적절한 지적소유권(IPR) 보호 기술인 데이터 인증방법에 대한 필요성이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 정보량이 많은 워터마크를 삽입하여도 워터마크가 삽입된 영상의 화질을 열화시키지 않고, 특히 영상의 일부가 제거되는 공격에서 강인성을 갖기 위해, 제안한 선형비트확장(LBX) 인터리빙을 이용하여 마킹 공간인 이산 웨이브렛 변환(DWT)영역의 자주파수 계수에 그레이스케일 워터마크 로고를 삽입하는 새로운 영상 워터마킹 기술을 제안하였다. 실험결과 영상절단과 영상회전 등과 같은 영상의 일부가 제거되는 공격에 대해서 특히 높은 강인성을 가짐을 검증하였다.

지문인식을 위한 중요한 전처리 과정중의 하나는 영상의 이진화 과정이다 이진화 과정은 그레이 레벨의 영상( gray scale input image)을 받아들여 이진의 영상(binary image)으로 만드는 것이다. 이진화 과정에 있어서의 어려운 점은 적절한 임계값(threshold value)을 찾는 것이다. 된 논문에서는 국부적인 융선과 골의 밝기의 특성에 따라 적절한 임계값을 선택하는 적응 이진화 방법을 제시한다. 실험을 통하여 게시된 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교하여 족은 성능을 보여주고 있음을 입증하였다.

A new SRAM pixel circuit with RESET Transistor of a LCOS display module was designed for a pico-projector application. A dual-block PWM method was also proposed to realize the field sequential color system having only one LCOS panel. 0.29 inch LCOS panel in SVGA resolution was fabricated and the proposed dual-block PWM method was tested with it. Discontinuity of brightness curve was caused due to multi-pulses and it was improved by the adoption of proper mapping table. With the proposed SRAM with RESET pixel circuit and dual-block PWM method, the test images were successfully demonstrated.

본 논문에서는 웨이퍼 영상에서 다이 위치를 인식하기 위한 새로운 코너점 검출 방법을 제안한다. 웨이퍼 다이 위치 인식은 WSCSP(Wafer Scale Chip Scale Packaging)기술에 필수적인 과정으로서 웨이퍼 윗면의 다이 패턴을 얼마나 정확히 인식하느냐에 따라서 후 공정의 정확도가 결정된다. 본 논문에서는 정확한 다이 위치를 인식하기 위하여 계층적 명암 영상 코너 검출 방법을 제안한다. 새로운 코너 검출자는 코너 영역을 마스크 크기에 따라서 동심원으로 나누어 각각의 동심원에서의 코너성과 방향성을 구하여 정확한 코너점을 검출하도록 하였다. 또한 계층적 구조를 가지고 처리하여 기존의 명암 영상코너 검출자 보다 더 빠른 처리 속도를 얻을 수 있도록 하였다.

A direct authentication from gray-scale image, instead of the conventional multi-step preprocessing, is proposed using Gabor filter-based features from the gray-scale fingerprint around core point. The core point is located as a reference point for the translation invariant matching. And its principal symmetry axis is detected for the rotation invariant matching from its neighboring region centered at the core point. And then fingerprint is divided into non-overlapping blocks with respect to the core point and features are directly extracted form the blocked gray level fingerprint using Gabor filter. The proposed fingerprint authentication is based on the Euclidean distance between the corresponding Gabor features of the input and the template fingerprints. Experiments are conducted on 300${\times}$300 fingerprints obtained from a CMOS sensor with 500 dpi resolution, and the proposed method could lower the False Reject Rate(FRR) to 18.2% under False Acceptance Rate(FAR) of 0%.

This study is intended to analyze how formations affect the tensile and tear strengths of paper at the same basis weight. Light transmitance method using a scanner was employed to measure the degree of formation in terms of gray scale. Scanning method showed close relationship between gray scale value and basis weight. At the same basis weight a sheet of paper with good formation had higher tensile strength in terms of breaking length than that of a paper with poor formation. There was little difference in tear strength depending on formations.

The purpose of this study is to examine the status of quality control using multipurpose phantom of ultrasound equipment used in hospital of veterinary college in South Korea by using ATS-539 multipurpose phantom so as to examine quantitative and objective new image evaluation method. Specialists discussed and analyzed multipurpose phantom images acquired by using convex transducer of 10 ultrasound imaging devices, currently used in 9 veterinary colleges, at 4.0-6.0 MHz. Total 8 items that can be measured with ATS-539 multipurpose phantom including dead zone, vertical and horizontal measurement, axial/lateral resolution, sensitivity, focal zone, functional resolution and gray scale/dynamic range were evaluated. For qualitative evaluation, valid decisions were made based on dead zone, axial/lateral resolution, and gray scale/dynamic range which are resolution index, and coefficient of variation (COV) and blind referenceless image spatial quality evaluator (BRISQUE) were found to increase objectivity. As a result of experiment, all the targeted ultrasonic devices were found appropriate from qualitative evaluation items of dead zone, axial/lateral resolution, and gray scale/dynamic range. In other evaluation items, they were found to be appropriate from focal zone and vertical measurement of quantitative evaluation while inappropriate from horizontal measurement, sensitivity, and functional resolution. COV value was 0.12 ± 0.04, and BRISQUE value was 47.77 ± 2.77, both analysis results show that the noise level of all ultrasonic devices was located within tolerance range. Upon image examination using ATS-539 multipurpose phantom, they were 100% appropriate with inspection standards of dead zone, axial/lateral resolution, and gray scale/dynamic range, and besides, focal zone and functional resolution can be used as evaluation items. In the field of veterinary medicine, 8 standard items using ATS-539 multipurpose phantom and image evaluation items using COV and BRISQUE can be used as standards for quality control of ultrasonography machine.
