In computer vision, salient object is important to extract the useful information of foreground. With active contour analysis acting as the core in this paper, we propose a bottom-up saliency detection algorithm combining with the Bayesian model and the global color distribution. Under the supports of active contour model, a more accurate foreground can be obtained as a foundation for the Bayesian model and the global color distribution. Furthermore, we establish a contour-based selection mechanism to optimize the global-color distribution, which is an effective revising approach for the Bayesian model as well. To obtain an excellent object contour, we firstly intensify the object region in the source gray-scale image by a seed-based method. The final saliency map can be detected after weighting the color distribution to the Bayesian saliency map, after both of the two components are available. The contribution of this paper is that, comparing the Harris-based convex hull algorithm, the active contour can extract a more accurate and non-convex foreground. Moreover, the global color distribution can solve the saliency-scattered drawback of Bayesian model, by the mutual complementation. According to the detected results, the final saliency maps generated with considering the global color distribution and active contour are much-improved.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the stress distribution on the craniofacial suture and cranium after application of RME. Twelve years and six months old boy and twenty years old adult male were chosen for taking computed-tomography for FEM. From DICOM visual information, it was processed by 3-dimensional image construction program Mimics 10.01. Hounsfield unit(HU) which shows gray scale of CT image is picked for revealing mechanical properties of each model. The models have been accomplished with various range of physical properties. After applying 5.0 mm expansion, the maxillary complex model was obeserved for analyzing displacement and stress distribution of the model. The amount of transverse expansion of child and adult maxilla is different according to its location. It appears that it decreases gradually with the distance from separation site. In child, maximum compressive stress located broad area in zygomatic buttress department and the ends of frontal process of maxilla, pterygoid plate, and bones surrounding orbit. However, in adult maximum compressive stress was located smaller area and the stres was higher than child.

Visual object tracking is a fundamental problem in the field of computer vision, as it needs a proper model to account for drastic appearance changes that are caused by shape, textural, and illumination variations. In this paper, we propose a feature-based visual-object-tracking method with a sparse representation. Generally, most appearance-based models use the gray-scale pixel values of the input image, but this might be insufficient for a description of the target object under a variety of conditions. To obtain the proper information regarding the target object, the following combination of features has been exploited as a corresponding representation: First, the features of the target templates are extracted by using the HOG (histogram of gradient) and LBPs (local binary patterns); secondly, a feature-based sparsity is attained by solving the minimization problems, whereby the target object is represented by the selection of the minimum reconstruction error. The strengths of both features are exploited to enhance the overall performance of the tracker; furthermore, the proposed method is integrated with the particle-filter framework and achieves a promising result in terms of challenging tracking videos.

본 논문에서는 plasma display panel에서 동영상을 표현할 때 발생할 수 있는 dynamic false contour (DFC) 등의 화질 열화를 개선할 수 있는 subfield 기법에 관하여 고찰한다. 인접한 subfield 들간의 시간 길이 차이로 인하여 DFC가 발생한다는 사실을 파악하고, 그 차이를 일정하게 유지하는 기울기가 일정한 code를 제안한다. 그리고, 에러의 첨두치와 지속 시간의 trade-off 관계를 고려하여 에러의 절대값의 평균을 최소화 할 수 있도록 상이한 시간 길이를 갖는 subfield들을 배열한 code를 제안한다. 제안한 subfield 기법은 계조값에 비례하여 에러의 크기가 증가하는 것을 보임으로써 인간의 시각적 특성 관점에서도 적합한 방법임을 입증하였다.

A digital micro-mirror device (DMD) has the potential to modulate an incident wave with high speed, and the application for holographic display has been studied by many researchers. However, the quality of reconstructed image isn't good in comparison with that from a gray-scale amplitude-only hologram since it is a binary amplitude-only spatial light modulator (SLM). In this paper, we suggest a method generating a set of binary holograms to improve the quality of the reconstructed image. Here, we are concerned with the case for which the object plane is positioned at the Fourier domain of the plane of the SLM. In this case, any point in the Fourier plane is related to all points in the hologram. So there is a chance to generate a set of binary holograms illuminated by incident wave with constant optical power. Moreover, we find an interesting fact that the quality of reconstructed image is improved when the spatial frequency bandwidth of the binary hologram is limited. Therefore, we propose an iterative segmentation algorithm generating a set of binary holograms that are designed to be illuminated by the wave with constant optical power. The feasibility of our method is experimentally confirmed with a DMD.

본 논문에서는 진단 초음파 영상에서의 스펙클 잡음의 영향을 줄여 대상물체를 효율적으로 분리하는 방법을 제안하였다. 스페클 잡음을 제거하기 위하여 전처리 과정에서 gray scale opening 연산을 실행 후 윈도우내에서 임의의 픽셀에서의 분산을 계산하여 균일 영역과 경계 영역을 구분하고, 구분된 각 영역에 대해 윈도우 크기가 다른 pseudomedian 필터를 사용하였다. (본 논문에서 적응 pseudomedian 필터라 부름.) 영역 구분 없이 같은 크기의 윈도우를 사용한 경우보다 필터링 시간이 단축되며, 스페클 잡음을 충분히 제거할 수 있었다. 필터의 성능을 평가하기 위하여, 제안한 필터를 기존의 영상처리 필터의 결과에 대한 PSNR과 비교하여 우수하다는 것을 입증하였다.
