본 연구에서는 내용기반 영상 데이터 검색을 위하여 변환 영역에서 위치 정보와 주파수 정보를 가지는 웨이블릿 성질을 이용하여 영상을 압축한 후에 저주파 성분에 의한 객체들의 특징을 추출하는 방안으로 Vector Quantization 을 이용한 class 별 영상 검색을 제시한다 내용기반 영상 검색의 주요특징들은 색상, 질감, 그리고 영상의 공간적인 특징을 고려한 특징 값 둥이 사용된다. 먼저 검색의 효율성을 높이기 위해 영상을 구성하는 특징 치 중에서 가장 빈도가 많은 class 부터 영상의 유사도를 검색한 후에 다음으로 영상을 구성하는 빈도가 큰 순서대로 DB 내에 저장되어 있는 영상과 비교를 하게 된다. DB내 영상 검색은 빈도수가 우선인 5개의 class를 기준으로 유사도를 측정해서 검색을 이룬다. 이러한 영상의 특징들을 어떻게 결합하고 특징 추출을 하느냐에 따라 검색의 효율성에 영향을 준다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영상의 위치 정보와 주파수 정보를 가지는 웨이블릿 변환 후 얻어지는 저대역 부밴드에서의 공간적인 특성을 고려한 특징 값을 이용하여 Vector Quantization 알고리즘에 의해 정지영상의 객체 대표 특징들을 마르게 검색하고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 Haar Wavelet과 Vector Quantization 에서 색상과 질감의 가중치를 적용한 후 DB 에 저장된 영상과 유사도를 검색하는 방법을 취하고자 한다.

When images compressed with block-based compression techniques are transmitted over a noisy channel, unexpected block losses occur. In this paper, we present a post-processing-based block recovery scheme using Haar wavelet features. No consideration of the edge-direction, when recover the lost blocks, can cause block-blurring effects. The proposed directional recovery method in this paper is effective for the strong edge because exploit the varying neighboring blocks adaptively according to the edges and the directional information in the image. First, the adaptive selection of neighbor blocks is performed based on the energy of wavelet subbands (EWS) and difference of DC values (DDC). The lost blocks are recovered by the linear interpolation in the spatial domain using selected blocks. The method using only EWS performs well for horizontal and vertical edges, but not as well for diagonal edges. Conversely, only using DDC performs well diagonal edges with the exception of line- or roof-type edge profiles. Therefore, we combined EWS and DDC for better results. The proposed methods out performed the previous methods using fixed blocks.

In this paper, we propose a novel intelligent headlight control (IHC) system which is durable to various road lights and camera movement caused by vehicle driving. For detecting candidate light blobs, the region of interest (ROI) is decided as front ROI (FROI) and back ROI (BROI) by considering the camera geometry based on perspective range estimation model. Then, light blobs such as headlights, taillights of vehicles, reflection light as well as the surrounding road lighting are segmented using two different adaptive thresholding. From the number of segmented blobs, taillights are first detected using the redness checking and random forest classifier based on Haar-like feature. For the headlight and taillight classification, we use the random forest instead of popular support vector machine or convolutional neural networks for supporting fast learning and testing in real-life applications. Pairing is performed by using the predefined geometric rules, such as vertical coordinate similarity and association check between blobs. The proposed algorithm was successfully applied to various driving sequences in night-time, and the results show that the performance of the proposed algorithms is better than that of recent related works.

Many reported methods assume that the faces in an image or an image sequence have been identified and localization. Face detection from image is a challenging task because of the variability in scale, location, orientation and pose. The difficulties in visual detection and recognition are caused by the variations in viewpoint, viewing distance, illumination. In this paper, we present an efficient linear discriminant for multi-view face detection and face location. We define the training data by using the Fisher`s linear discriminant in an efficient learning method. Face detection is very difficult because it is influenced by the poses of the human face and changes in illumination. This idea can solve the multi-view and scale face detection problems. In this paper, we extract the face using the Fisher`s linear discriminant that has hierarchical models invariant size and background. The purpose of this paper is to classify face and non-face for efficient Fisher`s linear discriminant.

We assessed the feasibility of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) applied for the spectral processing to enhance the estimation performance quality of soil organic matters using visible-near infrared spectra and mapped their distribution via block Kriging model. Continuum-removal and $1^{st}$ derivative transform as well as Haar and Daubechies DWT were used to enhance spectral variation in terms of soil organic matter contents and those spectra were put into the PLSR (Partial Least Squares Regression) model. Estimation results using raw reflectance and transformed spectra showed similar quality with $R^2$ > 0.6 and RPD> 1.5. These values mean the approximation prediction on soil organic matter contents. The poor performance of estimation using DWT spectra might be caused by coarser approximation of DWT which not enough to express spectral variation based on soil organic matter contents. The distribution maps of soil organic matter were drawn via a spatial information model, Kriging. Organic contents of soil samples made Gaussian distribution centered at around 20 g $kg^{-1}$ and the values in the map were distributed with similar patterns. The estimated organic matter contents had similar distribution to the measured values even though some parts of estimated value map showed slightly higher. If the estimation quality is improved more, estimation model and mapping using spectroscopy may be applied in global soil mapping, soil classification, and remote sensing data analysis as a rapid and cost-effective method.
