본 연구에서는 이미지 인지유형 및 질의방식에 따른 검색방법의 효율성을 분석하기 위해 32명의 대학생들이 구글 이미지 검색시스템을 이용하여 검색실험을 실시하였다. 이미지 인지유형은 구체적(specific), 일반적(generic), 추상적(abstract) 유형으로 구분하였으며, 각 유형별 이미지를 텍스트검색, 예제에 따른 검색(QBE: Query by example), 하이브리드검색 등 3가지 질의방식으로 구분하여 실험을 실시하였다. 독립변수는 이미지 인지유형 및 질의방식이며 종속변수는 검색된 적합한 이미지의 수이다. 데이터 분석은 일원배치 분산분석(One-way ANOVA)과 이원배치분석(Two way ANOVA)을 이용하여 검증하였다. 분석결과로는 구체적 이미지와 일반적 이미지 인지유형에서는 텍스트 및 하이브리드 방식이 검색효율성이 높게 나타났고 추상적 이미지 인지유형에서는 QBE이 검색효율성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구 결과는 이미지 검색에서 검색효율성을 높이기 위한 방안을 마련하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

프랙탈 영상압축은 원 영상블록과 가장 유사한 영역을 원영상 내에서 찾는 자기유사성에 기반한 축소변환을 이용하여 영상데이터를 압축시키는 방법이다. 프랙탈은 영상데이터를 압축하는 효율적인 방법으로 인정을 받고 있으나 상대적으로 높은 영상 왜곡률과 부호화 시간이 오래 걸리는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문은 프랙탈의 영상 왜곡률 특성을 개선하기 위하여 프랙탈과 벡터양자화기를 혼합하였으며, 벡터양자화기의 클러스터링 알고리듬으로는 개선한 Self Organizing Feature Map(SOFM)을 사용하였다. 제안된 시스템의 성능평가를 위하여 일반적인 SOFM을 사용한 시스템 그리고 프랙탈을 단독으로 사용한 시스템과 비교하여 전체적인 성능 향상 정도를 확인하였다. 그 결과 개선한 경쟁학습 SOFM을 사용한 벡터양자화기와 프랙탈 혼합시스템이 일반적인 SOFM을 사용한 벡터양자화기와 프랙탈 혼합시스템보다 영상 왜곡특성이 향상된 것을 확인하였다.

Fractal image compression can reduce the size of image data by contractive mapping of original image. The mapping is affine transformation to find the block(called range block) which is the most similar to the original image. Fractal is very efficient way to reduce the data size. However, it has high distortion rate and requires long encoding time. In this paper, we present the simulation result of fractal and VQ hybrid systems which use different clustering algorithms, normal and improved competitive learning SOFM. The simulation results showed that the VQ hybrid fractal using improved competitive learning SOFM has better distortion rate than the VQ hybrid fractal using normal SOFM.

Foraging is a biological process, where a bacterium moves to search for nutriments, and avoids harmful substances. This paper proposes a hybrid approach integrating the bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA) in a radial basis function neural network, applied to image classification, in order to improve the classification rate and the objective function value. At the beginning, the proposed approach is presented and described. Then its performance is studied with an accent on the variation of the number of bacteria in the population, the number of reproduction steps, the number of elimination-dispersal steps and the number of chemotactic steps of bacteria. By using various values of BFOA parameters, and after different tests, it is found that the proposed hybrid approach is very robust and efficient for several-image classification.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate whether a deep learning reconstruction (DLR) method improves the image quality, stent evaluation, and visibility of the valve apparatus in coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) when compared with filtered back projection (FBP) and hybrid iterative reconstruction (IR) methods. Materials and Methods: CCTA images of 51 patients (mean age ± standard deviation [SD], 63.9 ± 9.8 years, 36 male) who underwent examination at a single institution were reconstructed using DLR, FBP, and hybrid IR methods and reviewed. CT attenuation, image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and stent evaluation, including 10%-90% edge rise slope (ERS) and 10%-90% edge rise distance (ERD), were measured. Quantitative data are summarized as the mean ± SD. The subjective visual scores (1 for worst -5 for best) of the images were obtained for the following: overall image quality, image noise, and appearance of stent, vessel, and aortic and tricuspid valve apparatus (annulus, leaflets, papillary muscles, and chordae tendineae). These parameters were compared between the DLR, FBP, and hybrid IR methods. Results: DLR provided higher Hounsfield unit (HU) values in the aorta and similar attenuation in the fat and muscle compared with FBP and hybrid IR. The image noise in HU was significantly lower in DLR (12.6 ± 2.2) than in hybrid IR (24.2 ± 3.0) and FBP (54.2 ± 9.5) (p < 0.001). The SNR and CNR were significantly higher in the DLR group than in the FBP and hybrid IR groups (p < 0.001). In the coronary stent, the mean value of ERS was significantly higher in DLR (1260.4 ± 242.5 HU/mm) than that of FBP (801.9 ± 170.7 HU/mm) and hybrid IR (641.9 ± 112.0 HU/mm). The mean value of ERD was measured as 0.8 ± 0.1 mm for DLR while it was 1.1 ± 0.2 mm for FBP and 1.1 ± 0.2 mm for hybrid IR. The subjective visual scores were higher in the DLR than in the images reconstructed with FBP and hybrid IR. Conclusion: DLR reconstruction provided better images than FBP and hybrid IR reconstruction.

Hybrid robust image processing algorithm to extract visual features of melon during the cultivation was developed based on a wireless tele-operative interface. Features of a melon such as size and shape including position were crucial to successful task automation and future development of cultivation data base. An algorithm was developed based on the concept of hybrid decision-making which shares a task between the computer and the operator utilizing man-computer interactive interface. A hybrid decision-making system was composed of three modules such as wireless image transmission, task specification and identification, and man-computer interface modules. Computing burden and the instability of the image processing results caused by the variation of illumination and the complexity of the environment caused by the irregular stem and shapes of leaves and shades were overcome using the proposed algorithm. With utilizing operator's teaching via LCD touch screen of the display monitor, the complexity and instability of the melon identification process has been avoided. Hough transform was modified for the image obtained from the locally specified window to extract the geometric shape and position of the melon. It took less than 200 milliseconds processing time.

In many image processing tasks, connected component labeling (CCL) is performed to extract regions of interest. CCL was usually done in a sequential fashion when image resolution was relatively low and there are small number of input channels. As image resolution gets higher up to HD or Full HD and as the number of input channels increases, sequential CCL is too time-consuming to be used in real time applications. To cope with this situation, parallel CCL framework was introduced where multiple cores are utilized simultaneously. Several parallel CCL methods have been proposed in the literature. Among them are NSZ label equivalence (NSZ-LE) method[1], modified 8 directional label selection (M8DLS) method[2], and HYBRID1 method[3]. Soh [3] showed that HYBRID1 outperforms NSZ-LE and M8DLS, and argued that HYBRID1 is by far the best. In this paper we propose an improved hybrid parallel CCL algorithm termed as HYBRID2 that hybridizes M8DLS with label backtracking (LB) and show that it runs around 20% faster than HYBRID1 for various kinds of images.

This study investigated the effect of offering eco-friendly fashion items on consumers' perceived image of stores and their intention to purchase food in a hybrid cafe setting. The data were collected using an online survey of 465 adults aged 20 to 49 years. In order to compare 'a general cafe' where only food is sold and 'a hybrid cafe' which offers eco-friendly fashion items as well as food, we developed two store types (general×hybrid) with two store designs (modern×eco-friendly) as stimuli, resulting in four scenarios. The results indicated that offering eco-friendly fashion items at a cafe did not significantly affect consumers' perceived eco-friendly image of the store. Further, this negatively affected consumers' perceived healthy and tasty images of the store and intention to purchase food. Such negative effects on the healthy and tasty images of the store increased in the store with a modern design. In conclusion, offering eco-friendly fashion items at cafes may not contribute to enhancing the stores' images or sales.
