An approach is described for automatic measuring of GCP's image coordinates from SPOT imagery and focused on the fulfillment an automatic orientation of satellite images. For the orientation of a stereopair of digital images, firstly, GCP(Ground Control Point) should be selected and then the work for measuring of image coordinates correspond to GCPs is required. In this study, we propose the method for extracting the GCP's image coordinates automatically using an image patch for control points and auxiliary points matching. For the evaluation of measurement accuracy, a comparison between points those are extracted manually and automatically by a proposed method have made. Finally, we shows the feasibility of automatic image coordinates measurment by applying in stereo modeling for SPOT images.

This paper proposes an effective single-image haze-removal algorithm with low complexity by using a dual dark channel prior (DCP) and an adaptive brightness correction technique. The dark channel of a small patch preserves the edge information of the image, but is sensitive to noise and local brightness variations. On the other hand, the dark channel of a large patch is advantageous in estimation of the exact haze value, but halo effects from block effects deteriorate haze-removal performance. In order to solve this problem, the proposed algorithm builds a dual DCP as a combination of dark channels from patches with different sizes, and this meets low-memory and low-complexity requirements, while the conventional method uses a matting technique, which requires a large amount of memory and heavy computations. Moreover, an adaptive brightness correction technique that is applied to the recovered image preserves the objects in the image more clearly. Experimental results for various hazy images demonstrate that the proposed algorithm removes haze effectively, while requiring much fewer computations and less memory than conventional methods.

Blurred image is an important factor in lowering image recognition rates in Computer vision. This mainly occurs when the camera is unstablely out of focus or the object in the scene moves quickly during the exposure time. Blurred images greatly degrade visual quality, weakening visibility, and this phenomenon occurs frequently despite the continuous development digital camera technology. In this paper, it replace the modified building module based on the Deep multi-patch neural network designed with convolution neural networks to capture details of input images and Attention techniques to focus on objects in blurred images in many ways and strengthen the image. It measures and assigns each weight at different scales to differentiate the blurring of change and restores from rough to fine levels of the image to adjust both global and local region sequentially. Through this method, it show excellent results that recover degraded image quality, extract efficient object detection and features, and complement color constancy.

This paper presents a new technique for corner shape based object retrieval from a database. The proposed feature matrix consists of values obtained through a neighborhood operation of detected corners. This results in a significant small size feature matrix compared to the algorithms using color features and thus is computationally very efficient. The corners have been extracted by finding the intersections of the detected lines found using Hough transform. As the affine transformations preserve the co-linearity of points on a line and their intersection properties, the resulting corner features for image retrieval are robust to affine transformations. Furthermore, the corner features are invariant to noise. It is considered that the proposed algorithm will produce good results in combination with other algorithms in a way of incremental verification for similarity.

Together with machine-learning frameworks, area-based imagery registration techniques can be easily applied to diverse types of image pairs without predefined features and feature descriptors. However, feature detectors are often used to quickly identify candidate image patch pairs, limiting the applicability of these registration techniques. In this paper, we propose a ConvNet (Convolutional Network) "Dart" that provides not only the matching metric between patches, but also information about their distance, which are helpful in reducing the search space of the corresponding patch pairs. In addition, we propose a ConvNet "Fad" to identify the patches that are difficult for Dart to improve the accuracy of registration. These two networks were successfully implemented using Deep Learning with the help of a number of training instances generated from a few registered image pairs, and were successfully applied to solve a simple image registration problem, suggesting that this line of research is promising.

Among the Example based Super Resolution(SR) techniques, Neighbor embedding(NE) has been inspired by manifold learning method, particularly locally linear embedding. However, the poor generalization of NE decreases the performance of such algorithm. The sizes of local training sets are always too small to improve the performance of NE. We propose the Learning Sparse-Neighbor Image Representation baesd on SVR having an excellent generalization ability to solve this problem. Given a low resolution image, we first use bicubic interpolation to synthesize its high resolution version. We extract the patches from this synthesized image and determine whether each patch corresponds to regions with high or low spatial frequencies. After the weight of each patch is obtained by our method, we used to learn separate SVR models. Finally, we update the pixel values using the previously learned SVRs. Through experimental results, we quantitatively and qualitatively confirm the improved results of the proposed algorithm when comparing with conventional interpolation methods and NE.

In this paper, a speed-up technique for the non-local means (NLM) image denoising method based on local binary descriptor (LBD) is proposed. In the NLM, most of the computation time is spent on searching for non-local similar patches in the search window. The local binary descriptor which represents the structure of patch as binary strings is employed to speed up the search process in the NLM. The descriptor allows for a fast and accurate preselection of non-local similar patches by bitwise operations. Using this approach, a tradeoff between time-saving and noise removal can be obtained. Simulations exhibit that despite being principally constructed for speed, the proposed algorithm outperforms in terms of denoising quality as well. Furthermore, a parallel implementation on GPU brings NLM-LBD to real-time image denoising.

Nowadays, there have been an increasing number of illegal use cases where people try to fabricate the working hours by using fake fingerprints. So, the fingerprint liveness detection techniques have been actively studied and widely demanded in various applications. This paper proposes a new method to detect fake fingerprints using CNN (Convolutional Neural Ntworks) based on the patches of fingerprint images. Fingerprint image is divided into small square sized patches and each patch is classified as live, fake, or background by the CNN. Finally, the fingerprint image is classified into either live or fake based on the voting result between the numbers of fake and live patches. The proposed method does not need preprocessing steps such as segmentation because it includes the background class in the patch classification. This method shows promising results of 3.06% average classification errors on LivDet2011, LivDet2013 and LivDet2015 dataset.

The existing antenna that equipped with Micro Aerial Vehicle, microstrip antenna only can send and receive image signal because of limited bandwidth. But, proposed antenna that equipped with Micro Aerial Vehicle flight introduces tapered type patch antenna, also improves bandwidth then can transfer present location, altitude, movement speed. Furthermore, as a result of introduce stacked type, it transfers more quality of image signal, and represents most suitable performance in Korean peninsula that has many mountain peaks. In this paper, to transmit and receive the wideband signals with a antenna system, the wideband microstrip antenna is proposed and designed. This antenna operates at 2.4GHz. In this thesis, the resonance frequency of 2.4GHz and the reflective loss of the antenna of -22dB were calculated by measuring the fabricated Tapered Microstrip Patch Antenna which was designed with the resonance of 2.4GHz. The calculated gain and efficiency of antenna were 6.7dB and $60\%$ respectively. The characteristic of the bandwidth shows with $50\~60MHz$ which is $6.02\%$ at the basis of -l5dB reflective loss. The experimental results can be used in the characteristic of the resonators and this antenna produces a greatly enhanced bandwidth.
