본 논문은 위성 영상을 위한 안개 제거 및 표면반사율 기반의 특징점 검출 방법을 제안한다. 기존의 안개 제거를 위한 DCP 방법은 패치 기반의 처리 방식으로 인해 전달맵 생성 과정에서 블록현상이 발생하게 되고, 이는 영상을 흐리게 하는 원인이 된다. 따라서 제안한 은닉마코프 기반의 방법은 영상의 블록 현상을 제거하고 선명도를 향상한다. 또한 표면반사율 기반의 견고한 특징점 추출을 통해서 영상 정합의 정확성을 향상하였다. 실험을 통해 제안한 방법이 기존 방법에 비해 안개 제거의 성능에서 우수함을 확인하였으며 이를 통해 특징 검출 및 위성 영상 정합에 적합함을 확인하였다.

무인기 영상을 활용한 고해상도의 산출물을 생성하기 위해서 영상 분석을 통해 측정되는 영상자체의 선명도 분석이 필요하다. 무인기의 선명도가 명확하지 않는 영상을 현업에서 사용할 경우 무인기를 이용한 정확한 3차원 정보의 획득이나 매핑 등의 작업에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 영상 선명도를 설명할 수 있는 지표로 식별해상도(Ground Resolved Distance, GRD)가 사용되어 왔다. GRD는 영상에서 식별 가능한 두 물체간의 최소거리로 정의되며 공간적 샘플간격인 GSD(Ground Sampling Distance)와 대비되는 개념으로 사용된다. 본 연구에서는 GRD를 육안판독에 의하지 않고 영상에 촬영된 에지 타겟을 분석하여 추출하고자 한다. 특히 GRD대 GSD의 비율(GRD/GSD), 또는 픽셀단위로 표현된 GRD를 영상의 상대적 선명성을 평가할 수 있는 지표로 사용하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 회전익을 사용하여 여러 촬영환경에서 고도별로 촬영된 에지타겟의 분석을 통해서 GRD를 산출하였다. GRD/GSD를 사용하여 선명도가 현저히 떨어지는 영상을 판별할 수 있었고 이를 통해서 영상의 선명도 지표로서의 적정성을 확인할 수 있었다.

The mobile camera module is a device to be inserted in the digital device for camera feature. The mobile camera module is being shaken by vibrations such as handshake during the exposure time. The clarity is compromised by these vibrations, thus the vibration is considered as an external disturbance. Moreover the use of mobile camera module has been being expanded for automotive vibration should be considered. These external disturbances can cause image blurring, thus optical image stabilization should be applied for image compensation. The compensator is fulfilled mechanically by movable lens group or image sensor that adjusts the optical path to the camera movement. Open loop control is useful for well-defined systems like compliant mechanism. Notch filter and lead compensator are designed and applied to improve the stability and bandwidth. The final level of image compensating is confirmed by image processing with MATLAB and CODE V to verify the better performance.

Transcranial radiograph is widely used in the diagnosis of craniomandibular disorder because it can be used by the dentist with relative ease in spite of image distortion. But correct information can be obtained only when one know the image change by projection angulation. The author compared the condyle position in the 3 groups of transcranial radiographs (horizontal angulation - 0°, 5°, individualized) with that in the individualized corrected lateral tomogram by objective and subjective evaluation methods. The results were as follows: 1. Among 3 transcranial groups, the condyle position in individualized group showed the highest concordance rate with that in the tomogram group in objective and subjective evaluation methods. 2. Correlation coefficient between individualized transcranial group and tomogram group in objective evaluation method was highest (P≤0.01). 3. Image clarity in individualized transcranial group was worse than that of the other two transcranial groups.

Fingerprint-based identification is known to be used for a very long time. Owing to their uniqueness and immutability, fingerprints are today the most widely used biometric features. Therefore, recognition using fingerprints is one of the safest methods as a way of personal identification. But fingerprint identification system has a critical weakness. Since the fingerprint identification time dramatically increase when we compare the unknown fingerprint's minutiae with fingerprint database's minutiae. In this paper, a ridge orientation extraction method using Index table is proposed to solve the problem. The goal of fast direction image extraction is to reduce the identification time and to improve the clarity of ridge and valley structures of input fingerprint image.

A novel multifocus image fusion algorithm based on NSCT is proposed in this paper. In order to not only attain the image focusing properties and more visual information in the fused image, but also sensitive to the human visual perception, a local multidirection variance (LEOV) fusion rule is proposed for lowpass subband coefficient. In order to introduce more visual saliency, a modified local contrast is defined. In addition, according to the feature of distribution of highpass subband coefficients, a direction vector is proposed to constrain the modified local contrast and construct the new fusion rule for highpass subband coefficients selection The NSCT is a flexible multiscale, multidirection, and shift-invariant tool for image decomposition, which can be implemented via the atrous algorithm. The proposed fusion algorithm based on NSCT not only can prevent artifacts and erroneous from introducing into the fused image, but also can eliminate 'block effect' and 'frequency aliasing' phenomenon. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieved better fusion results than wavelet-based and CT-based fusion method in contrast and clarity.

The increase in vehicle purchases worldwide is having a very significant impact on the availability of parking spaces. In particular, since it is difficult to secure a parking space in an urban area, it may be of great help to the driver to check vehicle parking information in advance. However, the current parking lot information is still operated semi-manually, such as notifications. Therefore, in this study, we propose a system for detecting a parking space using a relatively simple image processing method based on an image taken from the sky and evaluate its performance. The proposed method first converts the captured RGB image into a black-and-white binary image. This is to simplify the calculation for detection using discrete information. Next, a morphological operation is applied to increase the clarity of the binary image, and a template mask in the form of a bounding box indicating a parking space is applied to check the parking state. Twelve image samples and 2181 total of test, were used for the experiment, and a threshold of 40% was used to detect each parking space. The experimental results showed that information on the availability of parking spaces for parking users was provided with an accuracy of 95%. Although the number of experimental images is somewhat insufficient to address the generality of accuracy, it is possible to confirm the possibility of parking space detection with a simple image processing method.

The key issue of block-based multi-focus image fusion is to determine the size of the sub-block because different sizes of the sub-block will lead to different fusion effects. To solve this problem, this paper presents a novel genetic algorithm (GA) based multi-focus image fusion method, in which the block size can be automatically found. In our method, the Sum-modified-Laplacian (SML) is selected as an evaluation criterion to measure the clarity of the image sub-block, and the edge information retention is employed to calculate the fitness of each individual. Then, through the selection, crossover and mutation procedures of the GA, we can obtain the optimal solution for the sub-block, which is finally used to fuse the images. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the traditional methods, including the average, gradient pyramid, discrete wavelet transform (DWT), shift invariant DWT (SIDWT) and two existing GA-based methods in terms of both the visual subjective evaluation and the objective evaluation.

This study discusses the high-order diffusion method in the wavelet domain. It aims to improve the edge protection capability of the high-order diffusion method using wavelet coefficients that can reflect image information. During the first step of the proposed diffusion method, the wavelet packet decomposition is a more refined decomposition method that can extract the texture and structure information of the image at different resolution levels. The high-frequency wavelet coefficients are then used to construct the edge detection function. Subsequently, because accurate wavelet coefficients can more accurately reflect the edges and details of the image information, by introducing the idea of state weight, a scheme for recovering wavelet coefficients is proposed. Finally, the edge detection function is constructed by the module of the wavelet coefficients to guide high-order diffusion, the denoised image is obtained. The experimental results showed that the method presented in this study improves the denoising ability of the high-order diffusion model, and the edge protection index (SSIM) outperforms the main methods, including the block matching and 3D collaborative filtering (BM3D) and the deep learning-based image processing methods. For images with rich textural details, the present method improves the clarity of the obtained images and the completeness of the edges, demonstrating its advantages in denoising and edge protection.

본 논문에서는 시간-주파수 변환에 요동보상을 적용한 UWB 레이다 Bistatic ISAR (Bistatic Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar: B-ISAR) 이미징에 적용하여 레이다 이미징의 선명도와 품질을 개선하였다. UWB 레이다를 사용하여 제안하는 시간-주파수 알고리즘을 검증하였으며, 이를 위하여 B-ISAR 알고리즘 절차, 시간-주파수 변환과 요동보상 개선 등 필요한 이론적 근거를 제시하였다. B-ISAR 이미징 알고리즘으로 이미지를 생성하였으며, UWB 바이스테틱 ISAR 이미징 생성시 요동보상을 적용한 시간-주파수 변환 기법인 STFT(Short-Time Fourier Transform), GWT(Gabor Wavelet Transform), WVD(Wigner-Ville distribution) 방식을 차례대로 구현하였다. 그리고 STFT, GWT와 WVD 알고리즘을 이용하여 B-ISAR 이미징 알고리즘의 성능을 비교하였으며, 그 결과 WVD가 다른 방식들에 비하여 영상이 선명하고, 퍼짐 현상이 줄어듦을 알 수 있었다.
