Texture synthesis technology has the advantages of repairing texture and structure at the same time. However, during the filling process, the size of the patch is fixed, and the content of the filling is not fully considered. In order to be able to adaptively change the patch size, we used the exemplar-based inpainting technique as the test algorithm, considering the image structure and texture, calculated the image structure patch size and texture patch size, and comprehensively determined the image patch size. This can adaptively change the patch size according to the filling content. In addition, we use multi-layer images to calculate the priority, so that the order of image repair was more stable. The proposed repair algorithm is compared with other image repair algorithms. The experimental results showed that the proposed adaptive image repair algorithm can better repair the texture and structure of the image, which proved the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

The aim of this paper was mainly to interpret the real information-missing patch of image by using the kriging interpolation technology of spatial statistics. The TM Image of the Jingouling Forest Farm of Wangqing Forestry Bureau of Northeast China on 1 July 1997 was used as the tested material in this paper. Based on the classification for the TM image, the information pixel-missing patch of image was interpolated by the kriging interpolation technology of spatial statistics theory under the image treatment software-ERDAS and the geographic information system software-Arc/Info. The interpolation results were already passed precise examination. This paper would provide a method and means for interpreting the information-missing patch of image.

This study is for analyzing best band in image matching using correlation coefficient of left and right images of stereo image pair, lot red, green, blue band images separated from color aerial photo and gray image converted from the same color aerial photo image. The image matching is applied to construct Digital Elevation Model(DEM) or terrain data. The correlation coefficients and variation by change of pixel patch size are computed from pixel patches of which sizes are $11{\times}11{\sim}101{\times}101$. Consequently, the correlation coefficient in red band image is highest. The lowest is in blue band. Therefore, to construct terrain data using image matching, the red band image is preferable. As the size of pixel patch is growing, the correlation coefficient is increasing. But increasing rate declines from $51{\times}51$ image patch size and above. It is proved that the smaller pixel patch size than $51{\times}51$ is applied to construct terrain data using image matching.

Multivariate finite mixture model is becoming more and more popular in image processing. Performing image denoising from image patches to the whole image has been widely studied and applied. However, there remains a problem that the structure information is always ignored when transforming the patch into the vector form. In this paper, we study the operator which extracts patches from image and then transforms them to the vector form. Then, we find that some pixels which should be continuous in the image patches are discontinuous in the vector. Due to the poor anti-noise and the loss of structure information, we propose a new operator which may keep more information when extracting image patches. We compare the new operator with the old one by performing image denoising in Expected Patch Log Likelihood (EPLL) method, and we obtain better results in both visual effect and the value of PSNR.

영상 인페인팅(image inpainting)은 영상에서 훼손된 부분을 복원하거나 영상 내의 불필요한 문자나 특정 물체를 제거한 후 삭제된 영역을 자연스럽게 채우기 위해 널리 사용되는 기법이다. 예제기반 인페인팅은 비어있는 영역에서 어떤 부분부터 채울 것인지를 결정하는 패치 우선순위 결정과 결정된 패치를 어떤 패치로 채울 것인지 결정하는 패치탐색의 두 부분으로 구성되어 있다. 기존 예제기반 인페인팅에서는 패치 내의 알고 있는 영역의 화소 값만을 이용하여 유사패치를 탐색한다. 이는 패치의 일부분만 이용하여 비교하게 되므로 비교 대상이 아닌 영역에 상관성이 없는 화소 값을 갖는 패치가 선택될 수 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 패치외삽을 이용한 예제기반 인페인팅 방식을 제안한다. 제안 방식은 우선순위가 결정된 패치에 대해 패치 내 이미 알고 있는 영역의 화소 값을 이용하여 패치 내 비어있는 영역의 화소 값을 외삽 방식으로 예측치를 구하여 채운 후 유사 패치를 탐색한다. 실험 결과를 통해 제안방식이 기존 예제기반 인페인팅 방식에 비해 자연스러운 결과 영상을 얻을 수 있음을 보여준다.

영상 신호에는 비지역적 유사성이 존재하므로 임의의 조각 영상 즉, 패치(patch)에 대해 유사한 패치들을 모아 구성한 패치행렬은 낮은 계수값(rank)을 갖는 특성이 있다. 백색 잡음이 섞인 영상으로 구성된 패치행렬은 원 영상에 비해 높은 계수값을 갖게 된다. 이 행렬에 대해 저 계수의 근사 행렬을 구하면 영상 속의 잡음을 제거할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기준 패치의 유사 패치들을 이용한 패치행렬 구성 방법과 패치행렬에 대한 저 계수 행렬 근사 방법 및 이를 이용한 영상 복원 방법으로 구성된 영상 잡음 제거 방식을 제안한다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방식의 잡음 제거 성능을 최신 4가지 방법들과 비교하여 그 우수성을 보인다.

In the production of industrial fabric, it needs automatic real-time system to detect defects on the fabric for assuring the defect-free products flow to the market. At present, many visual-based methods are designed for detecting the fabric defects, but they usually lead to high false alarm. Base on this reason, we propose a Sobel operator combined with patch statistics (SOPS) algorithm for defects detection. First, we describe the defect detection model. mean filter is applied to preprocess the acquired image. Then, Sobel operator (SO) is applied to deal with the defect image, and we can get a coarse binary image. Finally, the binary image can be divided into many patches. For a given patch, a threshold is used to decide whether the patch is defect-free or not. Finally, a new image will be reconstructed, and we did a loop for the reconstructed image to suppress defects noise. Experiments show that the proposed SOPS algorithm is effective.

This paper introduces a method aimed at diagnosing the presence or absence of lesions by detecting anomalies in Chest X-ray images. The proposed approach is based on the PatchCore anomaly detection method, which extracts a feature vector containing location information of an image patch from normal image data and calculates the anomaly distance from the normal vector. However, applying PatchCore directly to medical image processing presents challenges due to the possibility of diseases occurring only in specific organs and the presence of image noise unrelated to lesions. In this study, we present an image alignment method that utilizes affine transformation parameter prediction to standardize already captured X-ray images into a specific composition. Additionally, we introduce a region-specific abnormality detection method that requires affine-transformed chest X-ray images. Furthermore, we propose a method to enhance application efficiency and performance through feature map hard masking. The experimental results demonstrate that our proposed approach achieved a maximum AUROC (Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic) of 0.774. Compared to a previous study conducted on the same dataset, our method shows a 6.9% higher performance and improved accuracy.

This paper proposes a fast patch-based de-blurring algorithm including kernel estimation based on the angle between the edge and the blur direction. For de-blurring, image patches from the most informative edges in the blurry image are used to estimate a kernel with low computational cost. Moreover, the kernels of each patch are estimated based on the correlation between the edge direction and the blur direction. This makes the final kernel more reliable and creates an accurate latent image from the blurry image. The combination of directionally oriented kernel estimation and patch-based de-blurring is faster and more accurate than existing state-of-the art methods. Experimental results using various test images show that the proposed method achieves its objectives: speed and accuracy.

In this paper, we propose a classification model based on convolutional neural network(CNN) for predicting 2-year recurrence in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients using preoperative chest CT images. Based on the region of interest(ROI) defined as the tumor internal and external area, the input images consist of an intratumoral patch, a peritumoral patch and a peritumoral texture patch focusing on the texture information of the peritumoral patch. Each patch is trained through AlexNet pretrained on ImageNet to explore the usefulness and performance of various patches. Additionally, ensemble learning of network trained with each patch analyzes the performance of different patch combination. Compared with all results, the ensemble model with intratumoral and peritumoral patches achieved the best performance (ACC=98.28%, Sensitivity=100%, NPV=100%).
