A visualization study to evaluate bubble motion in a tab water filled cylindrical tank with a varying flow rate of compressed air is conducted. The flow rate of compressed air varies from 1 to 5 L/min. Time resolved images are acquired by a high speed camera in 10 bit gray level at 100 fps and the measurement volume is irradiated by a 230 W halogen lamp. It is observed that there are three different regions; the bubble formation region, the rising bubble region and the free surface region. During the rise of bubble, the shape is changed as if an elastic body. Based on the binarized bubble image, the mean diameters of rising bubbles are estimated at beneath of the free surface. As the gas flow rate increases, the mean diameter is increased and the rising velocity also increases with buoyancy force.

Pantograph sliding plate abrasion auto-detect system, one of the electric rail car auto-detecting devices, is a system that decides how much abrasion and when to replace without an inspector physically looking at the abrasion on the wet plate using machine vision, a cutting-edge technology. This paper covers the cause of deteriorating reliability that affects pantograph wet plate edge detection due to noise added to the video when it rains. In order to remove such noise, problems should be checked through Smoothing, Averaging mask and Median filter using filtering technique and stable edge detection without being affected by noise should be induced in video measurement used in machine vision technology.

A new spline function for resampling discrete signal adaptively is proposed. In general, B-spline function is used for an image interpolation because of its smoothness and continuity, but accompanies a large amount of blurring effect. Hence, we developed a new spline function to remedy this effect, with two procedures ; deblurring of Gaussian blurring and diminishing of aliasing effect caused by deblurring procedure. The proposed function has a parametric expression with $\alpha$ which is related to the variance of Gaussian blurring model. Locally adaptive resampling scheme is obtained by changing a according to statistical characteristics of an image. The proposed, interpolation function shows edge-sharpening effect as well as noise smoothing, with comparison to the conventional schemes.

이미지의 픽셀 기반 처리는 한 픽셀의 값을 변환하고 다른 픽셀의 값에 관계없이 현재 픽셀의 값에 따라 변환하는 프로세스를 의미한다. 픽셀 기반 처리는 이미지 변환, 이미지 향상 및 이미지 합성과 같은 많은 분야에서 가장 기본적인 작업이다. 본 논문에서는 히스토그램 연산과 같은 영상의 전처리 과정이 경계 검출 결과에 미치는 상호 연관성에 대해 알아보고 픽셀 기반의 처리를 이용하여 효과적으로 영상의 윤곽을 찾는 방법을 제안한다.

Optical flow is important not only for determining velocity and trajectory of the object but also for image segmentation and 3D information. The gradient-based method is mostly used to compute optical flow form image sequences, but it accomanies smoothing effect of velocity vectors. In this paper, an enhanced algorithm for computing optical flow using scalar edge to restrict is also applied to reduce errors both around motion boundary and in the occlusion region.

In this paper, we propose a postprocessing method that neatly removes blocking effect but retains visually important image details and edges. The iterative thresholded lowpass filter is basically a low pass filter whose ouput depends on three variable elements. I.e. iteration number, threshold value and passband width. The threshold value restricts the difference between the output of the proposed filter and the original input independent of the iteration number. With this property, the iterative thresholded lowpass filter can retain most of the image details while smoothing the block boundaries. The other two variable elements, i.e. iteration number and passband width, can determine the convergence speed of the proposed filter. In this paper, we also propose several adaptive filtering techniques based on the iterative thresholded lowpass filter with their simulation results.

영상 평활화(Image Smoothing) 작업은 영상 신호 표본화, 정량화, 통신 이동과 같은 과정을 거치면서 잡음 등의 불필요한 신호가 포함된 디지털 영상의 잡음을 감소키는데 많이 이용되고 있다. 이와 같은 영상 평활화 작업에는 대부분 전역적인 공간 영역 혹은 주파수 영역의 전역적인 필터링 기법이 이용되고 있다. 그러나, 기존의 방법들은 왜곡된 잡음 픽셀들의 정보를 그대로 반영하기 때문에 잡음 제거 결과 복원 영상의 선명도는 크게 저해된다. 본 논문에서는 특히나 양자화 과정을 통해 잡음 정보의 변형이 극대화되어지는 압축 영상을 대상으로 하여 적절한 잡음제거 기법을 제안하고자 한다. 특히, 압축 영상의 잡음 추출은 1차 복호화 후의 공간 도메인에서, 추출된 잡음 제거는 주파수 도메인에서 수행함으로써 2차 복호화 후의 잡음제거 결과 영상은 압축 영상의 잡음 제거에 따른 본질적인 문제를 해결하였으며, 실험 결과 역시 다른 기존의 방법에 비해 우수한 성능을 발휘하였다.

A new relaxation algorithm based on distribution of matched errors and possibility is proposed to solve efficiently correspondence problem. This algorithm can be applied to various method, such as BMA, feature-, and region-based matching methods, by modifying its smoothness function. It consists of two stages which are transformation and iteration process. In transformation stage, the errors obtained by any matching algorithm are transformed to possibility values according to these statistical distribution. Each grade of possility is updated by some constraints which are defined as smoothness, uniqueness, and discontinuity factor in iteration stage. The discontinuity factor is used to reserve discontinuity of disparity. In conventional methods, it is difficult to find proper weights and stop condition, because only two factors, smoothness and uniqueness, have been used. However, in the proposed mthod, the more smoothing is not ocurred because of discontinuity factor. And it is efective to the various image, even if the image has a severe noise and repeating patterns. In addition, it is shown that the convergence rate and the quality of output are improved.

The inverse halftoning is processing to restore the image made binary to former step image. There are smoothing and gaussian filtering in the technique so far. However, there are still a lot of insufficient points in past inverse halftoning. The removal of the noise and the edge enhansment are closely related in inverse halftoning. It is difficult to do both the noise rednctiom and the edge enhansment in high accuracy at the same time in the technique so far. The technique that can achieve both the removal of the noise and the emphasis of Edge at the same time is expected as future tasks. Then, it was tried to apply the Kalmann filtering to inverse halftoning. In the actual experiment, the effectiveness of the application of the Kalmann filtering to inverse halftoning comparing it with the technique so far was shown.

A new multi-planar interpolation technique for three dimensional medical image rendering is proposed. In medical imaging. resolution in the slice direction is usually much lower than those in the transverse planes. The proposed method is based on the solution of the Laplace's equation used in the electrostatics. In this approach. two contours in the source and destination planes for a given object is assumed to have equi-potentials. Some preprocessing and post-processing including scaling. displacement. rotation from the centers of mass are involved in the algorithm. The interpolation solution assumes mostly smoothing changes in between the source and destination planes. Simultaneous multiple interpolation planes are inherently obtained in the proposed method. Some experimental and simulation results are shown.
