An effective filtering algorithm which can reduce noise and preserve edges for the restoration of an image degraded by additive white Gaussian noise is presented. The algorithm proposed in this paper is an extension of Lee's algorithm modified to use local gradient information as well as local statistics. It does not require image modeling, and removes noise along the orientaiton of edges so that it does not blur the edge.

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for automatic segmentation of the liver in CT images. The proposed scheme is carried out on region of interest(ROI) blocks that include regions of the liver with high probabilities. The ROI approach saves unnecessary computational loss in finding the accurate boundary of the liver. The proposed method utilizes the composition of multi-size morphological filters with a prior knowledge, such as the general location or the approximate intensity of the liver to detect the initial boundary of the liver. Then, we make the gradient image with the weight of the initial liver boundary and segment the liver legion by using an immersion-based waters hed algorithm in the gradient image. finally, the refining process is carried out to acquire a more accurate liver region.

This paper is concerning off-line signature verification using a density function which is obtained by convolving the signature image with twelve-directional 5$\times$5 gradient masks and the weighted fuzzy mean classifier. The twelve-directional density function based on Nevatia-Babu template gradient is related to the overall shape of a signature image and thus, utilized as a feature set. The weighted fuzzy mean classifier with the reference feature vectors extracted from only genuine signature samples is evaluated for the verification of freehand forgeries. The experimental results show that the proposed system can classify a signature whether genuine or forged with more than 98% overall accuracy even without any knowledge of vaned freehand forgeries.

The carbon brake discs were manufactured by densification the carbon fiber preform using PG-CVI technology with Propene as a carbon precursor gas and Nitrogen as a carrier gas. The densities of carbon brake discs were tested at different densification time. The results indicate that the densification rate is more rapid before 100 hrs than after 200 hrs. The CTscanning image and the SEM technology were used to observe the inner subtle structure. CT-images show the density distribution in the carbon brake disc clearly. The carbon brake disk made by PG-CVI is not very uniform. There is a density gradient in the bulk. The high-density part in the carbon brake is really located in the friction surface, especially in the part of inner circle. This density distribution is most suitable for the stator disc.

In this paper, we have described and simulated the effect analysis and correction of phase errors in the SAR rawdata induced by satellite attitude errors such as drift, jitter. This simulation is based on the FSA(Frequency Scaling Algorithm) for high resolution image formation of the Spotlight SAR. Phase errors produce the degradation of SAR image quality such as loss of resolution, geometric distortion, loss of contrast, spurious targets, and decrease in SNR. To resolve this problem, this paper presents method for correction of phase errors using the PGA(Phase Gradient Algorithm) in connection with the FSA. Several results of the phase errors correction are presented for Spotlight SAR rawdata.

This paper proposes a new optical recognition method of credit card numbers. Firstly, the proposed method segments numbers from the input image of a credit card. It uses the significant differences of standard deviations between the foreground numbers and the background. Secondly, the method extracts gradient features from the segmented numbers. The gradient features are defined as four directions of grayscale pixels for 16 regions of an input number. Finally, it utilizes an artificial neural network classifier that uses an error back-propagation algorithm. The proposed method is implemented using C language in an embedded Linux system for a high-speed real-time image processing. Experiments were conducted by using real credit card images. The results show that the proposed algorithm is quite successful for most credit cards. However, the method fails in some credit cards with strong background patterns.

A new approach to silent MR imaging using a rotating DC gradient has been explored and experimentally studied. As is known, acoustic or sound noise has been one of the major problems in handling patients, mainly due to the fast gradient pulsings in interaction with the main magnetic field. The sound noise is also proportionally louder as the magnetic field strength becomes larger. In this article, we have described a new imaging technique using a mechanically rotating DC gradient coil as an approach toward silent MR imaging, i.e., a mechanically rotated DC gradient effectively replaces both the phase encoding as well as the readout gradient pulsings and data obtained in this manner provides a set of project ion data which later can be used or the projection reconstructionorwithsomeinterpolation techniques one can also perform conventional 2-D FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) image reconstruction. We found, with this new technique, that the sound noise intensity compared with the conventional imaging technique, such as spin echo sequence, is reduced down to -20.7 dB or about 117.5 times. The experimental pulse sequence and its principle are described and images obtained by the new silent MR imaging technique are reported.

수중 탐지를 위한 합성개구소나(Synthetic Aperture Sonar, SAS) 신호처리에서는 탑재플랫폼이 직선경로를 따라 주행한다고 가정한다. 그러나 실제로는 플랫폼의 복잡한 운동에 따른 궤적 교란으로 인해 SAS 영상에 번짐과 같은 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 예인형 SAS 개발을 위해 궤적 교란에 의한 SAS 영상 왜곡을 개선하기 위한 방법으로서, Redundant Phase Center (RPC)을 이용한 예인체 운동 추정 및 영상 보정, 그리고 자동 초점 기법인 Phase Gradient Autofocus (PGA) 기법에 대해 검토하였다. 그리고 시뮬레이션을 통해, sway로 인해 왜곡된 SAS 영상에 이 기법들을 적용하고 그 성능 및 유효성에 대해 살펴보았다.

다수의 지역 특징들을 취합하여 하나의 벡터로 표현하는 것은 이미지 검색의 핵심 기술이다. 이 과정에서 경사도 기반 특징에 비해 수십 배 빠르게 추출되는 2진 특징이 활용된다면 이미지 검색의 고속화가 가능하다. 이를 위해서는 2진 특징들을 군집하여 2진 시각 단어를 생성하는 기법에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 기존의 경사도 기반 특징들을 군집하는 전통적인 방식으로는 2진 특징들을 군집할 수 없기 때문이다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 2진 특징들을 군집하여 2진 시각 단어를 생성하는 기법들에 대해 연구한다. 실험을 통해 2진 특징의 활용이 이미지 검색에 미치는 정확도와 연산효율 사이의 상충관계에 대해 분석한 후, 제안한 기법들을 비교한다. 본 연구는 고속 이미지 검색을 필요로 하는 모바일 응용, 리얼 타임 응용, 웹 스케일 응용 등에 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 영상처리에서 많이 사용하는 양방향 필터링(bilateral filtering)과 평균 이동 분할(mean shift segmentation)을 이용하여 일반적인 사진을 수채화 효과가 나도록 하는 리터칭 기법에 대하여 제안한다. 먼저 양방향 필터링을 이용하여 사진의 외곽선 부분은 보존하면서 고주파 성분을 약화시키도록 한다. 그리고 양방향 필터링된 영상에서 각각 DoG(Difference of Gradient) 에지 추출과 평균 이동 분할을 수행한다. 이때 DoG 에지 추출은 원영상의 RGB 색상 공간을 CIELAB 공간으로 변환 후 휘도(luminance) 성분만 이용하여 추출하도록 하며 두 결과를 결합하여 최종 영상을 생성한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법으로 다양한 사진에 대하여 실험한 결과 수채화 효과가 잘 나타나는 것을 확인하였으며 특히 주광에서 촬영한 풍경 사진들에 대하여 보다 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.
