In this paper, we propose an adaptive histogram projection technique for dynamic range compression and an efficient detail enhancement method which is enhancing strong edge while reducing noise. First, The high dynamic range image is divided into low-pass component and high-pass component by applying 'guided image filtering'. After applying 'guided filter' to high dynamic range image, second, the low-pass component of the image is compressed into 8-bit with the adaptive histogram projection technique which is using global standard deviation value of whole image. Third, the high-pass component of the image adaptively reduces noise and intensifies the strong edges using standard deviation value in local path of the guided filter. Lastly, the monitor display image is summed up with the compressed low-pass component and the edge-intensified high-pass component. At the end of this paper, the experimental result show that the suggested technique can be applied properly to the IR images of various scenes.

High dynamic range image can describe the real world scenes that have a wide range of luminance intensity. To display high dynamic range (HDR) image into conventional displayable devices such as monitors and printers, we proposed the logarithmic based global mapping algorithm that consider the features of image using mapping parameters. Based on characteristics of image, we first modify input luminance values for reproducing perceptually tuned images and then displayable output values are obtained directly. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves good subjective results while preserving details of image, furthermore proposed algorithm has fast simple and practical structure for implementation.

본 논문은 HDR(High Dynamic Range) 영상을 기존의 JPEG 압축 방법을 이용하여 효율적으로 압축할 수 있는 방안을 제안한다. 입력 HDR 영상을 동적 영역 압축(Dynamic range compression)하여 통해 얻어지는 LDR(Low Dynamic Rage) 영상 및 HDR 영상과 LDR영상의 비율을 나타내는 비율 (Ratio) 영상으로 분리한다. LDR 영상은 하위 호환성을 유지하기 위해 기존의 JPEG 알고리듬을 이용하여 압축하며, 비율 영상은 각 블록별로 HVS(Human Visual System)이 인지하는 차이를 모델링 한 비용함수를 최소화 하도록 압축한다. 따라서 제안하는 알고리듬을 적용하면 동일한 조건에서 압축된 결과 영상에 왜곡이 적게 발생하게 되며, 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해 그 유효성을 확인한다.

A high dynamic range (HDR) image can represent real world scenes that have a wide range of luminance intensity. However, compared with the range of real world luminance, conventional display devices have a low dynamic range (LDR). To display HDR images onto conventional displayable devices such as monitors and printers, we propose the logarithmic based global reproduction algorithm that considers the features of the image using reproduction parameters. Based on the characteristics of the image, we first modify the input luminance values for reproducing perceptually tuned images and then obtain the displayable output values directly. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves good subjective results while preserving details of the image; furthermore, the proposed algorithm has a fast, simple and practical structure for implementation.

In this paper, we propose an effective dynamic range compression (DRC) method of infrared images. A histogram of infrared images has narrow dynamic range compared to visible images. Hence, it is important to apply the effective DRC algorithm for high performance of an infrared image analysis. The proposed algorithm for high dynamic range divides an infrared image into the overlapped blocks and calculates Shannon's entropy of overlapped blocks. After that, we classify each block according to the value of entropy and apply adaptive histogram modification method each overlapped block. We make an intensity mapping function through result of the adaptive histogram modification method which is using standard-deviation and maximum value of histogram of classified blocks. Lastly, in order to reduce block artifact, we apply hanning window to the overlapped blocks. In experimental result, the proposed method showed better performance of dynamic range compression compared to previous algorithms.

The purpose of this study is to analyze how high school students form and interpret the mental image in the process of solving regular polyhedron problems. For this purpose, a set of problems about the regular polyhedron's vertex is developed on the base of the regular polyhedron's duality and circulation. and applied to 2 students of the 12th graders in D high school. After 2 hours of teaching and learning and another 2 hours of mental image-analysis process, the following research findings are obtained. Fisrt, a student who recorded medium high-level grade in the national scholastic test can build the dynamic image or the patten image in the process of solving regular polyhedron's vertex problems by utilizing the 3D geometry program. However, the other student who recorded low-level grade can build the concrete-pictorial image. Second, pattern image or dynamic image can help students solve the regular polyhedron's vertex problems by proper transformation of informations and the mental images while the concrete-pictorial image does not help. Hence, it is recommended that the mathematics teachers should develop teaching and learning materials about the regular polyhedron's duality and circulation and also give students suitable questions to build the various mental images.

High dynamic range (HDR) images are becoming pervasive due to capturing or rendering of a wider range of luminance, but their special display equipment is difficult to be popularized because of high cost and technological problem. Thus, HDR images must be adapted to the conventional display devices by applying tone mapping (TM) operation, which puts forward higher requirements for intellectual property protection of HDR images. As the robustness presents regional diversity in the low dynamic range (LDR) watermarked image after TM, which is different from the traditional watermarking technologies, a concept of watermarking activity is defined and used to distinguish the essential distinction of watermarking between LDR image and HDR image in this paper. Then, a novel robust HDR image watermarking algorithm is proposed against TM operations. Firstly, based on the hybrid processing of redundant discrete wavelet transform and singular value decomposition, the watermark is embedded by modifying the structure information of the HDR image. Distinguished from LDR image watermarking, the high embedding strength can cause more obvious distortion in the high brightness regions of HDR image than the low brightness regions. Thus, a perceptual brightness mask with low complexity is designed to improve the imperceptibility further. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to the existing TM operations, with taking into account the imperceptibility and embedded capacity, which is superior to the current state-of-art HDR image watermarking algorithms.

이미지 센서의 물리적 한계 가운데 공간 해상도의 제약과 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 극복하기 위한 방법 가운데 신호처리기법에 기반하여 여러 장의 저해상도 영상으로부터 고해상도 영상을 복원하는 것과, 다이내믹 레인지가 좁은 여러 장의 영상으로부터 넓은 다이내믹 레인지를 갖는 영상을 복원하는 방법이 있다. 하지만, 일반적으로 실제 영상을 획득하는 과정에서 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 동시에 받게 되므로, 이 두 제약을 동시에 극복하는 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 영상 장치의 응답 함수의 추정과 함께 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레이지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 영상의 공간 해상도 제한과, 다이내믹 레인지의 제약을 포함하는 영상 획득 과정을 모델링하고, 이 영상 획득 모델을 기반으로 하여 영상 입력 장치의 응답 함수를 추정하고, 영상의 공간 해상도와 다이내믹 레인지를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안된 알고리즘이 기존의 고해상도 복읜 알고리즘과 와이드 다이내믹 레인지 영상 복원을 연속적으로 처리한 결과보다 시각적, 수치적으로 더 좋은 결과를 보여줌을 확인할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 HDR (high dynamic range) 영상 렌더링을 위한 히스토그램 변형 기법을 이용한 인지기반 톤 맵핑(tone mapping) 기법을 제안한다. HDR 톤 맵핑 알고리듬은 넓은 동적 영역을 갖는 영상을 LDR (low dynamic range) 영상 장치에 표현하기 위해 사용된다. 인간의 시각특성을 이용한 톤 맵핑 알고리듬은 상당히 효과적이지만 고정된 형태의 맵핑 함수를 사용하기 때문에 모든 영상에서 동일한 성능을 얻지 못한다. 제안하는 방법은 인지기반 톤 맵핑 함수와 히스토그램 변형기법을 적용하여 HDR 영상의 동적 영역을 압축한다. 인지기반 톤 맵핑 함수를 이용해서 원 영상의 히스토그램을 제한하고 보상과정을 통해서 적응적인 톤 맵핑 함수를 얻을 수 있다. 이는 화소값에 따라 서로 다른 제약조건들을 사용함으로써 contrast를 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 원 영상의 디테일도 보존한다. 또한, 히스토그램 변형기법을 사용함으로써 과도한 히스토그램 평활화로 인한 왜곡을 개선할 수 있고, 더욱이 제어파라미터를 이용하여 영상의 contrast를 조정할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 및 실험을 통해 주관적 및 객관적 성능을 비교하고 기존 방법에 비해 제안한 방법이 우수함을 입증한다.
