신경망은 깊어질수록 gradient vanishing/exploding과 같은 네트워크가 불안정해지는 문제가 발생 한다. 잔차 블록을 이용하여 이러한 문제를 해결 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 영상 인식 분야에서 훌륭한 성능을 보여준 잔차 블록 기반의 깊은 합성곱 신경망을 통한 단일 영상 초해상도 복원 기법을 제안 한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 EDSR에 사용된 잔차 블록을 다양한 크기의 합성곱 연산을 통해 영상의 특징들을 다르게 분석하도록 수정하고 VDSR과 비슷한 수준의 복잡도로 구성하여 향상된 성능을 얻었다. 실험 결과, VDSR에 비해 PSNR이 최대 0.1dB까지 증가했다.

넓은 동적 영역 (High Dynamic Range: HDR) 이미지는 주관적 화질 측면에서 우수하지만 대부분의 디스플레이는 좁은 동적 영역 (Low Dynamic Rang e: LDR) 만 지원이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 이를 해결하기 위해서 톤 매핑 기법 (Tone Mapping Operator: TMO) 을 사용하여 넓은 동적 영역을 압축하여 수행한다. 기존의 지역 에지 보존 (Local Edge Preserving: LEP) 필터를 적용한 이미지결과는 에지를 보존하지만, 스케일의 분해 과정 중 디테일의 손실이 발생되었다. 본 논문에서는 이미지 변화도를 기반으로 디테일을 보존하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. LEP 필터가 적용되기 전에 이미지의 변화도와 동적 영역이 압축된 후의 이미지에 대한 변화도의 차이만큼 가중하여 디테일을 보존함으로써 주관적 화질을 향상시켰다.

In this paper, a newly radial electronic shearography system was developed in order to study vibration characteristics of symmetrical objects. We utilized the electro-optic holography theory for quantificational analysis and a porror prism for shearing two inages radially in this study. These image data obtained by this shearography give us various distributions of the gradient of vibration amplitude, and they are useful informations to study vibrational characteristics of symmetrical objects. Finally this developed system with phase stepping and modulation was applied to fans and disks to inspect characteristics of the vibration and the blance of symmetrical objects and obtained good results.

의료 데이터를 이용하여 인공지능 기계학습 연구를 수행할 때 자주 마주하는 문제는 데이터 불균형, 데이터 부족 등이며 특히 정제된 충분한 데이터를 구하기 힘들다는 것이 큰 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위해 GAN(Generative Adversarial Network) 기반 고해상도 의료 영상을 생성하는 프레임워크를 개발하고자 한다. 각 해상도 마다 Scale 의 Gradient 를 동시에 학습하여 빠르게 고해상도 이미지를 생성해낼 수 있도록 했다. 고해상도 이미지를 생성하는 Neural Network 를 고안하였으며, PGGAN, Style-GAN 과의 성능 비교를 통해 제안된 모델이 양질의 고해상도 의료영상 이미지를 더 빠르게 생성할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이를 통해 인공지능 기계학습 연구에 있어서 의료 영상의 데이터 부족, 데이터 불균형 문제를 해결할 수 있는 Data augmentation 이나, Anomaly detection 등의 연구에 적용할 수 있다.

An omni-directional, graded-index and textured ZnO nanorods with $MgF_2$ anti-reflective(AR) coating films for the electro optical tracking system(EOTS) by e-beam evaporation method are presented. we achieved that the graded index structure can minimize image tracking interference of EOTS which is comparable to a general AR coating films. Optimized ZnO nanorods with $MgF_2$ AR coating films lead to decreasing Fresnel reflection by gradient refractive index. According to our experiment results, ZnO nanorods with $MgF_2$ AR coating films can be used for various electro optical system to improve the optical performance.

Although commercial PIV systems have been widely used for the non-intrusive velocity field measurement of fluid flows, they are still under development and have considerable room for improvement. In this study, a single-frame double-exposure PIV system using a high-resolution CCD camera was developed. A pulsed Nd:Yag laser and high-resolution CCD camera were synchronized by a home-made control circuit. In order to resolve the directional ambiguity problem encountered in the single-frame PIV technique, the second particle image was genuinely shifted in the CCD sensor array during the time interval dt. The velocity vector field was determined by calculating the displacement vector at each interrogation window using cross-correlation with 50% overlapping. In order to check the effect of spatial resolution of CCD camera on the accuracy of PIV velocity field measurement, the developed PIV system with three different resolution modes of the CCD camera (512 ${\times}$ 512, lK ${\times}$ IK, 2K ${\times}$ 2K) was applied to a turbulent flow which simulate the Zn plating process of a steel strip. The experimental model consists of a snout and a moving belt. Aluminum flakes about $1{\mu}m$ diameter were used as scattering particles for the liquid flow in the zinc pot and the gas flow above the zinc surface was seeded with atomized olive oil with an average diameter of 1-$3{\mu}m$. Velocity field measurements were carried out at the strip speed $V_s$=1.0 m/s. The 2K ${\times}$ 2K high-resolution PIV technique was significantly superior compared to the smaller pixel resolution PIV system. For the cases of 512 ${\times}$ 512 and 1K ${\times}$ 1K pixel resolution PIV system, it was difficult to get accurate flow structure of viscous flow near the wall and small vortex structure in the region of large velocity gradient.

In this work, we investigated the recently proposed phase-contrast x-ray imaging (PCXI) technique, the so-called single grid-based PCXI, which has great simplicity and minimal requirements on the setup alignment. It allows for imaging of smaller features and variations in the examined sample than conventional attenuation-based x-ray imaging with lower x-ray dose. We performed a systematic simulation using a simulation platform developed by us to investigate the image characteristics. We also performed a preliminary PCXI experiment using an established a table-top setup to demonstrate the performance of the simulation platform. The system consists of an x-ray tube ($50kV_p$, 5 mAs), a focused-linear grid (200-lines/inch), and a flat-panel detector ($48-{\mu}m$ pixel size). According to our results, the simulated contrast of phase images was much enhanced, compared to that of the absorption images. The scattering length scale estimated for a given simulation condition was about 117 nm. It was very similar, at least qualitatively, to the experimental contrast, which demonstrates the performance of the simulation platform. We also found that the level of the phase gradient of oriented structures strongly depended on the orientation of the structure relative to that of linear grids.

In this paper, a novel descreening method using HOG(histogram of gradient)-based adaptive smoothing filter is proposed. Conventional edge-oriented smoothing methods does not provide enough smoothing to the halftone image due to the edge-like characteristic of the halftone noise. Moreover, clustered-dot halftoning method, which is commonly used in printing tends to create Moire pattern because of the intereference in color channels. Therefore, the proposed method uses HOG to distinguish edges and the amount of smoothing to be performed on the halftone image is then calculated according to the magnitude of the HOG in the edge and edge normal orientation. The proposed method was tested on various scanned halftone materials, and the results show that it effectively removes halftone noises as well as Moire pattern while preserving image details.

This paper proposed a object tracking algorithm which can track contour of fast moving object through motion estimation. Since the proposed tracking algorithm is based on the radial representation, the motion estimation of object can be accomplished at the center of object with the low computation complexity. The motion estimation of object makes it possible to track object which move fast more than distance from center point to contour point for each frame. In addition, by introducing both gradient image and difference image into energy functions in the process of energy convergence, object tracking is more robust to the complex background. The results of experiment show that the proposed algorithm can track fast moving object in real-time and is robust under the complex background.

This paper presents a new parametric log line equation of polar form for Hough transform in log-polar plane, in which it can remove the well-known unboundedness problem of Hough parameters. Bolduc's method is used to generate a log-polar image dividing the fovea and periphery from a Cartesian image. Edges of the fovea and periphery are detected by using the Sobel mask and the proposed space-variant gradient mask, and are combined in the log-polar plane. The sampled points that might constitute a log line are quite sparse in a deep peripheral region due to severe under-sampling, which is an inherent property of LPM. To cope with such under-sampling, we determine the values of cumulative cells in Hough space by using the space-variant weighting. In our experiments, the proposed method demonstrates its validity of detecting not only the lines passing through both the fovea and periphery but also the lines in a deep periphery.
