본 논문에서는 그레이레벨 영상을 보다 적은 비트율로 압축하기 위한 효율적인 방법을 소개한다. 제안한 기법의 핵심은 서로 인접한 픽셀을 표현하는 그레이레벨의 쌍에 대한 발생 빈도를 토대로 원래 영상의 그레이레벨 값을 이에 대응하는 등급 값으로 변환시키는데 있다. 등급 값으로 변환된 영상을 데이터의 통계적인 특성이 강화되기 때문에 적은 비트율로 부호화를 할 수 있어 압축 성능을 더욱 향상시킬 수 있다. 비트 깊이가 8인 즉, 8비트의 그레이레벨 영상을 본 논문에서 제안한 기법을 통하여 변환시킨 영상을 기존의 LZW 부호화 및 산술 부호화에 적용시킨 결과, 기존의 부호화 방법보다 향상된 압축 효율을 가져 왔다.

본 논문에서는 포맷 변환기를 사용하여 여러 가지 영상처리 필터링을 구현하였다. 이러한 설계기법은 집적회로를 이용한 대규모 화소처리배열을 근거로 하여 실현하였다. 집적구조의 두가지 형태는 연산병렬프로세서와 병렬 프로세스 DRAM(또는 SRAM) 셀로 분류할 수 있다. 이러한 포맷 변환기 설계는 효율적인 제어 경로 수행을 능력을 가지고 있으며 하드웨어를 복잡하게 한 필요 없이 고급 기술로 사용 될 수 있다. 실험 결과 1)단순한 평활화는 더 높은 공간의 주파수를 억제하면서 잡음을 감소시킬 뿐 아니라 에지를 흐리게 할 수 있으며, 2) 평활화와 분할 과정은 날카로운 에지를 보존하면서 잡음을 감소시키고, 3) 평활화와 분할과 같은 메디안 필터링기법은 영상 잡음을 줄이기 위해 적용될 수 있고 날카로운 에지는 유지하면서 스파이크 성분을 제거하고 화소 값에서 단조로운 변화를 유지 할 수 있었다.

Direct volume rendering has yet been restricted to high-end graphic workstations and special-purpose hardware, due to the large amount of trilinear interpolation, that are necessary to obtain high image quality. In this paper, we implemented the volume rendering techniques using the 2D-texture at the environment of standard PC hardware. In addition, we show how multi-texturing capabilities of modern PC graphics board are enable to volume rendering. Besides using extended OpenGL function, we improved pixel operations and rendering capacity.

In this paper, we propose a content-based MPEG transcoding method using a discontinuity feature in the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) domain. A DCT block is transcoded differently depending on the height of dominant discontinuity within a block. In the experiment, we show the result that the video quality of content-based transcoding is better than that of a constant cut-off method and the processing time of the adaptive method is much faster compared with the pixel domain methods in the same bandwidth.

We propose a Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC), which applies a fixed current bias sensing method to the input stage in order to simplify the circuit structure and the infrared sensor characteristic control. For the sample-and-hold stage to display and control a signal detected by the infrared sensor using a two-dimensional (2D) focal plane array, a differential delta sampling (DDS) circuit is proposed, which effectively removes the FPN. In addition, the output characteristic is improved to have wider bandwidth and higher gain by applying a two-stage variable gain amplifier (VGA). The output characteristic of the proposed device was 23.91 mV/$^{\circ}C$, and the linearity error rate was less than 0.22%. After checking the performance of the ROIC using HSPICE simulation, the chip was manufactured and measured using the SMIC 0.35 um standard CMOS process to confirm that the simulation results from the actual design are in good agreement with the measurement results.

In this study, a target detection algorithm was proposed for using hyperspectral imagery. The proposed algorithm is designed to have minimal processing time, low false alarm rate, and flexible threshold selection. The target detection procedure can be divided into two steps. Initially, candidates of target pixel are extracted using matching ratio of spectral pattern that can be calculated by spectral derivation. Secondly, spectral distance is computed only for those candidates using Euclidean distance. The proposed two-step method showed lower false alarm rate than the Euclidean distance detector applied over the whole image. It also showed much lower processing time as compared to the Mahalanobis distance detector.

In this paper, we propose a fast implementation of Bilateral filter for tone mapping algorithm. Bilateral filter is able to preserve detail while at the same time prevent halo-ing artifacts because of improper scale selection by ensuring image smoothed that not only depend on pixel closeness, but also similarity. We accelerate Bilateral filter by using a piecewise linear approximation and recursive Gaussian filter as its domain filter. Recursive Gaussian filter is scale independent filter that combines low cost 1D filter which makes this filter much faster than conventional convolution filter and filtering in frequency domain. The experiment results show that proposed method is simpler and faster than previous method without mortgaging the quality.

본 논문에서는 디지털 영상의 해상도를 부화소 기반의 새로운 적응적 선형보간법으로 변경하는 방법을 제안한다. 일반적 선형보간법에서 고정된 위치로 쓰이는 거리계수를 왜곡된 거리 계산에 의한 화소 가중치를 주는 방법으로 개선한다. 이를 계산하기 위하여 최소 평균 자승 에러(minimum mean square error, MMSE)를 이용한다. 원영상과의 차이를 최소화하는 왜곡 거리 계산을 위하여 이웃한 보간 화소와 왜곡거리를 참조하게 된다. 이를 사용하면 복잡도가 높지 않은 효과적인 화소 보간을 할 수 있고 실험 결과 일반적인 보간법과 비교할 때 PSNR(peak signal to noise ratio)과 주관적 화질 면에서 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

Geometric corrections are required to compensate skew effects, earth rotation effects and so on. Parameters for geometric modeling can be acquired from the metadata information. These parameters allow to locate on ground every pixel of acquired images. In this paper, we tested the precision of geometric modeling of linear pushbroom images, acquired by SPOT 3 and 5 using the satellite orbit information itself without additional external data. The result acquired from examination to recovery the geometry of image using 30 GCPs have about 650m RMSE in SPOT 3 and about 170m RMSE in SPOT 5.
