본 논문에서는 다수의 영상에서 발견된 특징점의 정확한 정합을 위한 비선형 최적화 기법을 제안한다. 영상에서 발견된 특징점은 선형 해법에 의해 다수의 영상간의 변환을 구할 수 있지만 큰 오차를 수반하게 된다. 이는 영상이 생성되는 모델이 비선형이며, 다수시점간의 운동역시 비선형의 형태를 띄기 때문이다. 하지만 다수의 영상의 비선형 최적화는 일반적인 비선형 해법을 도입하였을 때에는 복잡도가 지수적으로 증가하는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Levenberg-Marquardt 비선형 최적화 방법의 희박해법(Sparse solution)을 이용하여 다수의 특징점간의 변환을 구하는 방법을 보인다.

This paper addresses the estimation of the shift vector from aerial image sequences. The conventional feature-based and area-based matching methods are simulated for determining the suitable image registration scheme. Computer simulations show that the feature-based matching schemes based on the co-occurrence matrix, autoregressive model, and edge information do not give a reliable matching for aerial image sequences which do not have a suitable statistical model or significant features. In area-based matching methods we try various similarity functions for a matching measure and discuss the factors determining the matching accuracy. To reduce the estimation error of the shift vector we propose the reference window selection scheme. We also discuss the performance of the proposed algorithm based on the simulation results.

In this paper, we propose a new scheme for matching specified areas in a satellite image, which is a very efficient method because it can be effectively applied to images that have various features. These features may include different spatial resolution and brightness; sometimes they may different geometrical property. The proposed method can be applied to some application fields such as mosaicing of satellite imagery, GCP matching.

Finger vein images contain rich oriented features. Local line binary pattern (LLBP) is a good oriented feature representation method extended from local binary pattern (LBP), but it is limited in that it can only extract horizontal and vertical line patterns, so effective information in an image may not be exploited and fully utilized. In this paper, an orientation-selectable LLBP method, called generalized local line binary pattern (GLLBP), is proposed for finger vein recognition. GLLBP extends LLBP for line pattern extraction into any orientation. To effectually improve the matching accuracy, the soft power metric is employed to calculate the matching score. Furthermore, to fully utilize the oriented features in an image, the matching scores from the line patterns with the best discriminative ability are fused using the Hamacher rule to achieve the final matching score for the last recognition. Experimental results on our database, MMCBNU_6000, show that the proposed method performs much better than state-of-the-art algorithms that use the oriented features and local features, such as LBP, LLBP, Gabor filter, steerable filter and local direction code (LDC).

영상에서 임의의 점에 대한 고유한 특징을 계산하는 알고리즘은 파노라마 영상의 제작, 스테레오 영상의 획득, 물체 인식, 이미지 분석 등에 다양하게 사용되는 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 어떤 점의 특징은 스칼라 형태가 아닌 벡터형태로 나타나게 되는데, 무수히 많은 특징 점들을 서로 비교하는 작업은 매우 많은 계산량을 요구한다. 본 연구에서는 영상의 특징점 계산에 SURF(speeded up robust features)를 이용하였고, 이미지로부터 추출된 특징을 PCA(principal component analysis)기법을 이용하여 벡터의 차원을 축소하여 연결리스트 자료구조에 정렬한 다음 특징을 비교하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 특징의 비교 방법을 적용할 경우 기존 방법의 매칭 정확도는 유지한 상태에서 계산시간을 줄일 수 있는 것을 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

This paper introduces a visual inspecting and monitoring system based on an image processing technique. We propose an image processing method for analyzing landslide movement in real time. The method adopts Laplacian of Gaussian operator to extract linear features for the captured images and uses a linear matching algorithm to distinguish the matching error for those features. When the algorithm is processed, motion parameters such as displacement area and its direction are computed. Once movement is recognized, displacements are estimated graphically with statistical amount in the image plane. The simulation results are shown us to verify the effectiveness of the developed method.

In this paper, we propose a regular-texture image retrieval approach relating In curvature. Maximum curvature and minimum curvature are computed from the query and each regular-texture image in the database. Seven features are computed from curvature characterizing statistical properties of the corresponding image. Each regular-texture image in the database is then represented as the seven CM (curvature measurement)-features. Query comparison and matching can be done using the corresponding CM-features. Experimental results on Brodatz texture show that the proposed approach is effective.

This paper presents a method of single image dehazing and feature matching for aerial remote sensing images. In the case of a aerial image, transferring the information of the original image is difficult as the contrast leans by the haze. This also causes that the image contrast decreases. Therefore, a refined transmission map based on a hidden Markov random field. Moreover, the proposed algorithm enhances the accuracy of image matching surface-based features in an aerial remote sensing image. The performance of the proposed algorithm is confirmed using a variety of aerial images captured by a Worldview-2 satellite.

Image identification is the process of checking whether the query image is the transformed version of the specific original image or not. In this paper, image identification method based on feature composition is proposed. Used features include color distance, texture information and average pixel intensity. We extract color characteristics using color distance and texture information by Modified Generalized Symmetry Transform as well as average intensity of each pixel as features. Individual feature is quantized adaptively to be used as bins of histogram. The histogram is normalized according to data type and it is used as the signature in comparing the query image with database images. In matching part, Manhattan distance is used for measuring distance between two signatures. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, independent test and accuracy test are achieved. In independent test, 60,433 images are used to evaluate the ability of discrimination between different images. And 4,002 original images and its 29 transformed versions are used in accuracy test, which evaluate the ability that the proposed algorithm can find the original image correctly when some transforms was applied in original image. Experiment results show that the proposed identification method has good performance in accuracy test. And the proposed method is very useful in real environment because of its high accuracy and fast matching capacity.
