본 논문에서는 영상이 가지는 컨텐츠를 보호하면서 영상의 크기를 실시간으로 변환하는 영상 리타겟팅 방법에 대하여 제안한다. 기존의 컨텐츠 기반의 영상 리타겟팅 기법인 seam carving은 영상의 크기 조절 시 다이나믹 프로그래밍(Dynamic Programming) 기법을 사용하기 때문에 반복적인 누적 최소 에너지 맵의 갱신 과정이 반드시 필요하다. 이 갱신 과정에서 전체 영상을 탐색해야 하므로 많은 연산량이 요구되며, 이로 인한 처리 시간 지연이 불가피하다. 제안하는 방법은 이러한 누적 최소 에너지 맵의 갱신으로 인한 처리 시간 지연을 개선하기 위하여, 우선 계산된 누적 최소 에너지 맵에서 seam이 될 수 있는 모든 후보들이 영향을 미치는 영역을 계산한다. 이 후보들의 영역을 이용하여 여러 개의 seam을 동시에 추출함으로써 누적 최소 에너지 맵의 갱신 횟수가 줄어들기 때문에, 전체 연산량이 줄어들어 빠른 처리가 가능하면서도 영상의 화질은 기존의 seam carving 기법과 비슷하게 유지할 수 있다. 실험 결과는 제안하는 방법이 영상이 가지고 있는 컨텐츠를 보존하면서 실시간으로 영상의 크기를 조절할 수 있음을 보여준다.

영상취득 장치를 이용한 지능화된 감시 장치의 개발 기술 또한 발전하고 있다. 비교적 고속으로 움직이는 객체를 탐지해야 하는 분야에서 무엇보다 중요한 것은 배경영상 갱신에 대한 부하를 효과적으로 줄여서 실시간적으로 갱신할 수 있어야 하는데 현재 범용 컴퓨터 능력으로는 질감 등을 특징으로 추출하는 방법 등은 대부분 연산처리의 부하 때문에 적용상의 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 적어도 초당 30프레임의 카메라 영상에서 주행 중인 자동차와 같이 고속으로 움직이는 객체를 탐지하는 응용영역에서 실시간으로 배경 영상을 갱신하는 알고리즘을 제시하고, 실제 입력영상에서 객체 영역을 추출하는 시험을 통해 성능을 분석하였다.

As the γ-ray energy increases, a reconstructed image becomes noisy and blurred due to the penetration of the γ-ray through the coded mask. Therefore, the thickness of the coded mask was increased for high energy regions, resulting in severely decreased the performance of the detection efficiency due to self-collimation by the mask. In order to overcome the limitation, a modified uniformly redundant array γ-ray imaging system using dual anti-mask method was developed, and its performance was compared and evaluated in high-energy radiation region. In the dual anti-mask method, the two shadow images, including the subtraction of background events, can simultaneously contribute to the reconstructed image. Moreover, the reconstructed images using each shadow image were integrated using a hybrid update maximum likelihood expectation maximization (h-MLEM). Using the quantitative evaluation method, the performance of the dual anti-mask method was compared with the previously developed collimation methods. As the shadow image which was subtracted the background events leads to a higher-quality reconstructed image, the reconstructed image of the dual anti-mask method showed high performance among the three collimation methods. Finally, the quantitative evaluation method proves that the performance of the dual anti-mask method was better than that of the previously reconstruction methods.

Model-based coding is one of several approaches to very low bit rate image coding and it can be used in many applications such as image creation and virtual reality. However, its analysis and synthesis processes remain difficult, especially in the sense that the resulting synthesized image reveals some degradation in detailed facial components such as furrows around eyes and mouth. To solve the problem, a large number of methods have been proposed and the texture update method is one of them. In this paper, we investigate texture synthesis for model-based coding. In the update process of the proposed texture synthesis algorithm, texture information is stored in a memory and the decoder reuses it. With this method, the transmission bit rate for texture data can be reduced compared with the conventional method updating texture periodically.

Satellite captures images periodically and economically over the area wider than aerial photographs, and reconnaissance to unapproachable area. For these advantages, mapping using high resolution satellite image has high potentials of marketability and development. Therefore, utilization of satellite image in mapping and GIS is expected to be growing and research on describable feature, positional accuracy and, possible mapping scale is urgently needed. This research presented that Quick Bird orthoimage could be used to update digital map on a scale of 1:5,000. Quick Bird image was corrected geometrically based on ground control points. DEM was generated using height data of digital topographic map. The orthoimge was produced by digital differential rectification based on DEM which was generated using height data of digital topographic map(scale 1;5,000 and 1;1,000). When the digital topographic map was overlaid with the orthoimage, it was very easy to find changed region or new features builded after the map compiled.

This paper presents a target model update scheme for the mean-shift tracking with background weighted histogram. In the scheme, the target candidate histogram is corrected by considering the back-projection weight of each pixel in the kernel after the best target candidate in the current frame image is chosen. In each frame, the target model is updated by the weighted average of the current target model and the corrected target candidate. We compared our target model update scheme with the previous ones by applying several test sequences. The experimental results showed that the object tracking accuracy was greatly improved by using the proposed scheme.

Video based object tracking normally deals with non-stationary image streams that change over time. Robust and real time moving object tracking is considered to be a problematic issue in computer vision. Multiple object tracking has many practical applications in scene analysis for automated surveillance. In this paper, we introduce a specified object tracking based particle filter used in an environment of multiple moving objects. A differential image region based tracking method for the detection of multiple moving objects is used. In order to ensure accurate object detection in an unconstrained environment, a background image update method is used. In addition, there exist problems in tracking a particular object through a video sequence, which cannot rely only on image processing techniques. For this, a probabilistic framework is used. Our proposed particle filter has been proved to be robust in dealing with nonlinear and non-Gaussian problems. The particle filter provides a robust object tracking framework under ambiguity conditions and greatly improves the estimation accuracy for complicated tracking problems.

In order for a service robot to perform several tasks, basically autonomous navigation technique such as localization, mapping, and path planning is required. The localization (estimation robot's pose) is fundamental ability for service robot to navigate autonomously. In this paper, we propose a new system for point pattern matching based visual global localization using spot lightings in ceiling. The proposed algorithm us suitable for system that demands high accuracy and fast update rate such a guide robot in the exhibition. A single camera looking upward direction (called ceiling vision system) is mounted on the head of the mobile robot and image features such as lightings are detected and tracked through the image sequence. For detecting more spot lightings, we choose wide FOV lens, and inevitably there is serious image distortion. But by applying correction calculation only for the position of spot lightings not whole image pixels, we can decrease the processing time. And then using point pattern matching and least square estimation, finally we can get the precise position and orientation of the mobile robot. Experimental results demonstrate the accuracy and update rate of the proposed algorithm in real environments.

Compared to the imagery produced by traditional satellites, PlanetScope satellite imagery has made it possible to easily capture remotely-sensed imagery every day through dozens or even hundreds of satellites on a relatively small budget. This study aimed to detect changed areas and update a land cover map using a PlanetScope image. To generate a classification map, pixel-based Random Forest (RF) classification was performed by using additional features, such as the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) and the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The classification result was converted to vector data and compared with the existing land cover map to estimate the changed area. To estimate the accuracy and trends of the changed area, the quantitative quality of the supervised classification result using the PlanetScope image was evaluated first. In addition, the patterns of the changed area that corresponded to the classification result were analyzed using the PlanetScope satellite image. Experimental results found that the PlanetScope image can be used to effectively to detect changed areas on large-scale land cover maps, and supervised classification results can update the changed areas.
