We propose a novel post-processing algorithm and its very-large-scale integration architecture that simultaneously uses the passive and active stereo vision information to improve the reliability of the three-dimensional disparity in a hybrid stereo vision system. The proposed architecture consists of four steps - left-right consistency checking, semi-2D hole filling, a tiny adaptive variance checking, and a 2D weighted median filter. The experimental results show that the error rate of the proposed algorithm (5.77%) is less than that of a raw disparity (10.12%) for a real-world camera image having a $1,280{\times}720$ resolution and maximum disparity of 256. Moreover, for the famous Middlebury stereo image sets, the proposed algorithm's error rate (8.30%) is also less than that of the raw disparity (13.7%). The proposed architecture is implemented on a single commercial field-programmable gate array using only 13.01% of slice resources, which achieves a rate of 60 fps for $1,280{\times}720$ stereo images with a disparity range of 256.

We developed a low cost digital X-Ray image capturing system using a CCD camera, instead of using the high cost image plate and image intensifier. In order to reduce the system volume, we directly made the dark box shorter than the previous model. Using the graphic language, we developed a program in order for post-processing the images captured by the CCD camera. This program improves the image resolving power.

컴퓨터 비전 분야의 의미론적 영상 분할(Semantic Image Segmentation) 기술은 이미지를 픽셀 단위로 분할 하여 클래스를 나누는 기술이다. 이 기술도 기계 학습을 이용한 방법으로 성능이 빠르게 향상되는 중이며, 픽셀 단위의 정보를 활용할 수 있는 높은 활용성이 주목받는 기술이다. 그러나 이 기술은 초기부터 최근까지도 계속 '세밀하지 못한 분할'에 대한 문제가 제기되어 왔다. 이 문제는 레이블 맵의 크기를 계속 늘리면서 발생한 문제이기 때문에, 자세한 에지 정보가 있는 원본 영상의 에지 맵을 이용해 레이블 맵을 수정하여 개선할 수 있을 것으로 예상할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 논문은 기존 방법대로 학습 기반의 의미론적 영상 분할을 유지하되, 그 결과인 레이블 맵을 원본 영상의 에지 맵 기반으로 수정하는 후처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 방법에 알고리즘의 적용 한 뒤 전후의 정확도를 비교했을 때 평균적으로 약 1.74% 픽셀 정확도와 1.35%의 IoU(Intersection of Union) 정확도가 향상되었으며, 결과를 분석했을 때 성공적으로 본래 목표한 세밀한 분할 기능을 개선했음을 보였다.

Low bit rate image/video coding is essential for many visual communication applications. When bit rates become low, most compression algorithms yield visually blocking artifacts that highly degrade the perceptual quality, and post-processing approaches provide one attractive solution. In this paper, we provide simple and very efficient blocking artifacts reduction method using constrained random value addition. Our method is simple enough to be used for real-time post-processing of video.

모사추진제로 초저온 액체질소와 기체 질소를 사용하여 핀틀의 개도 및 모사추진제 공급 조건이 초저온 분무에 끼치는 영향을 정성적으로 연구하였다. 액체 공급압력을 고정하고, 핀틀의 개도와 기체 질소의 공급 압력을 변화시켜 실험을 진행하였다. 이미지 가시화는 CCD 카메라를 이용한 Shadowgraph 기법이 사용되었으며, 이미지 후처리를 통해 실험 조건에 따른 분무의 차이를 비교하였다. 액체 질소 단독 분사의 경우 개도가 늘어날 때, 분사속도가 줄어들고 챔버에서의 벤트 압력은 커져 액체질소 시트가 중앙으로 모이는 현상이 관측되었다. 액체질소/기체질소 분무의 경우 이미지 후처리를 통해 서로 실험 조건이 다르지만 Shadowgraph 이미지가 유사하게 나타나는 경우도 분석할 수 있음을 보였다.

This paper presents a generalized post-processing technique for enhancing the pseudorandomness of digital chaotic oscillators through a nonlinear XOR-based operation with rotation and feedback. The technique allows full utilization of the chaotic output as pseudorandom number generators and improves throughput without a significant area penalty. Digital design of a third-order chaotic system with maximum function nonlinearity is presented with verified chaotic dynamics. The proposed post-processing technique eliminates statistical degradation in all output bits, thus maximizing throughput compared to other processing techniques. Furthermore, the technique is applied to several fully digital chaotic oscillators with performance surpassing previously reported systems in the literature. The enhancement in the randomness is further examined in a simple image encryption application resulting in a better security performance. The system is verified through experiment on a Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA with throughput up to 15.44 Gbit/s and logic utilization less than 0.84% for 32-bit implementations.

Frame Synchronization is applied to not only digital data transmission for data synchronization between transmitter and receiver but also data communication with satellite. When satellite image data with high resolution and mass storage is transmitted, hardware frame synchronizer for real-time processing or software frame synchronizer for post-processing is used. In case of hardware, processing with high speed is available but data loss may happen for Search of Frame Synchronization. In case of software, data loss does not happen but speed is relatively slow. In this paper, Pending Buffer concept was proposed to cope with data loss according to processing status of Frame Synchronization. Algorithm to process Frame synchronization with high speed using bit threshold search algorithm with pattern search technique and SIMD is also proposed.

This review aims to provide a brief, comprehensive overview of advanced technologies of nuclear medicine physics, with a focus on recent developments from both hardware and software perspectives. Developments in image acquisition/reconstruction, especially the time-of-flight and point spread function, have potential advantages in the image signal-to-noise ratio and spatial resolution. Modern detector materials and devices (including lutetium oxyorthosilicate, cadmium zinc tellurium, and silicon photomultiplier) as well as modern nuclear medicine imaging systems (including positron emission tomography [PET]/computerized tomography [CT], whole-body PET, PET/magnetic resonance [MR], and digital PET) enable not only high-quality digital image acquisition, but also subsequent image processing, including image reconstruction and post-reconstruction methods. Moreover, theranostics in nuclear medicine extend the usefulness of nuclear medicine physics far more than quantitative image-based diagnosis, playing a key role in personalized/precision medicine by raising the importance of internal radiation dosimetry in nuclear medicine. Now that deep-learning-based image processing can be incorporated in nuclear medicine image acquisition/processing, the aforementioned fields of nuclear medicine physics face the new era of Industry 4.0. Ongoing technological developments in nuclear medicine physics are leading to enhanced image quality and decreased radiation exposure as well as quantitative and personalized healthcare.
