In this paper, we propose an efficient edge preserving smoothing filter for Infrared image that can reduce noise while preserving edge information. Infrared images suffer from low signal-to-noise ratio, low edge detail information and low contrast. So, detail enhancement and noise reduction play crucial roles in infrared image processing. We first apply a guided image filter as a local analysis. After the filtering process, we optimization globally using relativity of guided image filter. Our method outperforms the previous methods in removing the noise while preserving edge information and detail enhancement.

This paper presents the study results on the design of the correction filter to improve the azimuth error estimation of the high-speed guided missile launched from the warship after the transfer alignment. We theoretically proved that the transfer alignment performance is determined by the accuracy of the marine inertial navigation system and the observability of the attitude error state variable in the transfer alignment filter, and that most of navigation errors in high-speed guided missile are caused by azimuth error. In order to improve the azimuth estimation performance of the correction filter, the multiple adaptive estimation method and the adaptive filters adapting the measurement noise covariance or the process noise covariance are proposed. The azimuth estimation performance of the proposed adaptive filter and the existing Kalman filter are compared and analyzed each other for 8 different transfer alignment accuracy cases. As a result of comparison and analysis, it was confirmed that the adaptive filter adapting the process noise covariance has the best azimuth estimation performance. These results can be applied to the design of correction filters for high-speed guided missile.

Full-image guided filter는 커널 윈도우 영역만 필터링에 반영되는 기존의 커널 윈도우 기반 가이드 필터와 달리 가중치 전파 도식과 양방향 모델이 적용되어 영상의 모든 픽셀이 필터링에 반영된다. 이로써 가이드 필터의 경계 보존과 평활화 등의 가이드 이미지 필터의 특성을 유지하면서도 계산 복잡도를 개선할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 full-image guided filter의 더 빠른 처리가 필요한 스테레오 비전 및 각종 실시간 시스템 분야에 적용될 수 있도록 효율적인 하드웨어 구조를 제안하였다. 필터링 프로세스에서 발생하는 각종 데이터의 종속성 분석과 영상의 PSNR 분석, 데이터 빈도 분석 등을 통하여 적합한 하드웨어 구조를 제안하였다. 또한 양방향 모델이 적용된 가중치 연산 모듈의 휴식 구간이 최소화되도록 효율적인 스케줄링을 하였고 실시간 처리가 가능하게 하였다. 제안한 하드웨어 구조는 동부하이텍 0.11um 표준셀 라이브러리로 합성하였을 경우 최대 동작주파수 214MHz(384*288 영상: 965 fps)와 76K(내부 메모리 제외) 게이트의 하드웨어 복잡도를 나타냈다.

LDR (low dynamic range) 영상에 비해서 밝기 범위가 크게 늘어난 HDR (high dynamic range) 영상을 촬영할 수 있는 장비와 디스플레이할 수 있는 기기들이 개발되고 있고 영상의 밝기 범위를 효율적으로 변환하는 방법에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 LDR 영상을 HDR 영상으로 효율적으로 변환하기 위해서 guided filter를 사용한 reverse tone mapping 기법을 제안한다. Guided filter를 사용하여 한 장의 LDR 영상으로부터 BEF(brightness enhancement function)을 구한 후에 LDR 영상에서 밝기가 포화된 부분을 효율적으로 복원하여 HDR 영상을 생성하는 기법을 제안한다. 또한 영상이 지나치게 밝거나 어두운 경우 영상 촬영시의 노출 값을 추정하여 보정한 후에 밝기 범위를 변환하는 방법을 이용하여 생성되는 HDR 영상의 화질을 극대화하는 방법을 연구하고 모의 실험 결과로부터 제안하는 기법은 기존의 방법에 비해서 우수한 화질의 HDR 영상을 생성하는 것을 입증한다.

Visible-infrared image fusion is a process of synthesizing an infrared image and a visible image into a fused image. This process synthesizes the complementary advantages of both images. The infrared image is able to capture a target object in dark or foggy environments. However, the utility of the infrared image is hindered by the blurry appearance of objects. On the other hand, the visible image clearly shows an object under normal lighting conditions, but it is not ideal in dark or foggy environments. In this paper, we propose a multi-guided filter and a real-time image fusion method. The proposed multi-guided filter is a modification of the guided filter for multiple guidance images. Using this filter, we propose a real-time image fusion method. The speed of the proposed fusion method is much faster than that of conventional image fusion methods. In an experiment, we compare the proposed method and the conventional methods in terms of quantity, quality, fusing speed, and flickering artifacts. The proposed method synthesizes 57.93 frames per second for an image size of $320{\times}270$. Based on our experiments, we confirmed that the proposed method is able to perform real-time processing. In addition, the proposed method synthesizes flicker-free video.

본 논문에서는 고정된 카메라에서 초기 프레임을 참조하여 현재 프레임에 새롭게 유입된 물체의 실시간 분류 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 실시간 분류 처리를 위하여 복잡도를 최소화 하였다. 먼저 전경과 배경을 구분하는 이진 분류 영상을 추출하기 위하여 DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) 기법을 사용한다. DCT는 기존 공간영역에서 Texture를 분석하는 방식보다 더욱 정확하게 Texture를 분석할 수 있다. 이는 주파수 영역에서 Texture 특징 분석이 더욱 용이하고 각 요소 안에 intensity와 texture 정보를 종합적으로 고려할 수 있기 때문이다. 또한 DCT 계산 복잡도를 최소화하기 위하여 DCT 수행 전에 색 정보를 이용하여 미리 분류 영역을 분석함으로써 처리 효율을 극대화 하였다. 마지막으로 생성된 이진 분류 영상을 자연스럽게 matting하기 위하여 Guided 필터 사용을 제안한다. Guided 필터는 guidance 정보를 통해 입력 영상을 전반적으로 개선할 수 있지만 intensity가 평탄한 영역 등에서 그 한계를 보여주므로 본 논문에서는 Guided 필터의 단점을 개선하는 방법을 추가적으로 제안한다.

The goal of hyperspectral pansharpening is to combine a hyperspectral image (HSI) with a panchromatic image (PANI) derived from the same scene to obtain a single fused image. In this paper, a new hyperspectral pansharpening approach using adaptive weighted regression and guided filter is proposed. First, the intensity information (INT) of the HSI is obtained by the adaptive weighted regression algorithm. Especially, the optimization formula is solved to obtain the closed solution to reduce the calculation amount. Then, the proposed method proposes a new way to obtain the sufficient spatial information from the PANI and INT by guided filtering. Finally, the fused HSI is obtained by adding the extracted spatial information to the interpolated HSI. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves better property in preserving the spectral information as well as enhancing the spatial detail compared with other excellent approaches in visual interpretation and objective fusion metrics.

In this paper, a tracking algorithm for autonomous navigation of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) operating in container terminals is presented. The developed navigation algorithm takes the form of a federated information filter used to detect other AGVs and avoid obstacles using fused information from multiple sensors. Being equivalent to the Kalman filter (KF) algebraically, the information filter is extended to N-sensor distributed dynamic systems. In multi-sensor environments, the information-based filter is easier to decentralize, initialize, and fuse than a KF-based filter. It is proved that the information state and the information matrix of the suggested filter, which are weighted in terms of an information sharing factor, are equal to those of a centralized information filter under the regular conditions. Numerical examples using Monte Carlo simulation are provided to compare the centralized information filter and the proposed one.

An extended scalar adaptive filter for guided missiles using a global positioning system receiver is presented. A conventional scalar adaptive filter is adequate filter for eliminating sudden abnormal jumping measurements. However, if missile or vehicle velocities have variation, the conventional filter cannot eliminate abnormal measurements. The proposed filter utilizes an acceleration term, which is an improvement not used in previous conventional scalar adaptive filters. The proposed filter continuously estimates noise measurement variance, velocity error variance and acceleration error variance. For estimating the three variances, an innovation method was used in combination with the least square method for the three variances. Results from the simulations indicated that the proposed filter exhibited better position accuracy than the conventional scalar adaptive filter.

The independent operation of a color filter for incident polarization is demonstrated using a guided-mode resonance (GMR) filter employing a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide. To achieve independent operation, a rectangular MIM grating is proposed as a wave-guide resonator. The design considerations are discussed and include how to determine the grating period and slit width. Power flow distribution is observed with slit width variation. Blue-green, green-red, and blue-red filters for corresponding x- and y-polarizations are demonstrated as application examples with numerical simulation with rectangle-shaped MIM grating. As a practical application, feasibility as a chromatic polarizer is discussed.
