This paper presents a method of single image dehazing and feature matching for aerial remote sensing images. In the case of a aerial image, transferring the information of the original image is difficult as the contrast leans by the haze. This also causes that the image contrast decreases. Therefore, a refined transmission map based on a hidden Markov random field. Moreover, the proposed algorithm enhances the accuracy of image matching surface-based features in an aerial remote sensing image. The performance of the proposed algorithm is confirmed using a variety of aerial images captured by a Worldview-2 satellite.

Aiming at the problem that the gradient-based edge detection operators are sensitive to the noise, causing the pseudo edges, a triqubit-state measurement-based edge detection algorithm is presented in this paper. Combing the image local and global structure information, the triqubit superposition states are used to represent the pixel features, so as to locate the image edge. Our algorithm consists of three steps. Firstly, the improved partial differential method is used to smooth the defect image. Secondly, the triqubit-state is characterized by three elements of the pixel saliency, edge statistical characteristics and gray scale contrast to achieve the defect image from the gray space to the quantum space mapping. Thirdly, the edge image is outputted according to the quantum measurement, local gradient maximization and neighborhood chain code searching. Compared with other methods, the simulation experiments indicate that our algorithm has less pseudo edges and higher edge detection accuracy.

The existing auxiliary communicating aids for the hearing-impaired have an inconvenience of using additional expensive sensing devices. This paper presents a hand image detection based algorithm to interpret the sign language of the hearing-impaired. The proposed sign language recognition system exploits the hand image only captured by the camera without using any additional gloves with extra sensors. Based on the hand image processing, the system can perfectly classify several numeric sign language representations. This work proposes a simple lightweight classification algorithm to identify the hand image of the hearing-impaired to communicate with others even further in an environment of complex background. Experimental results show that the proposed system can interpret the numeric sign language quite well with an accuracy of 95.6% on average.

In this paper, we develop a galaxy image classification method based on hand-crafted features and machine learning techniques. Additionally, we provide an empirical analysis to reveal which combination of the techniques is effective for galaxy image classification. To achieve this, we developed a framework which consists of four modules such as preprocessing, feature extraction, feature post-processing, and classification. Finally, we found that the best technique for galaxy image classification is a method to use a median filter, ORB vector features and a voting classifier based on RBF SVM, random forest and logistic regression. The final method is efficient so we believe that it is applicable to embedded environments.

본 논문에서는 객체들의 공간적 특성이 반영된 시각적인 특징벡터를 이용한 내용기반 영상검색 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 검색 기법은 여러 색상으로 이루어진 객체들을 표현하기 위하여 가우시안 혼성 모델을 적용하여 모델의 최대유사 파라미터는 EM 알고리즘을 사용하여 추정한다. GMM을 기반으로 하여 분할된 각 객체들로부터 Fourier descriptor의 색상 히스토그램을 사용하여 모양과 색상 특징을 추출하게 된다. 영상 검색은 두 단계로 구성되는데 첫 단계에서는 공간적인 모양 특성을 추출하여 모양이 유사한 객체들을 후보 영상으로 압축하게 되며 마지막으로 객체의 색상 히스토그램에 의하여 검색이 수행된다. 실험 결과 제안된 알고리즘은 분할된 객체의 공간적, 시각적 특징을 이용하여 효율적으로 검색을 수행할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Image stitching method is a technique for obtaining an high-resolution image by combining two or more images. In X-ray image for clinical diagnosis, the size of the imaging region taken by one shot is limited due to the field-of-view of the equipment. Therefore, in order to obtain a high-resolution image including large regions such as a whole body, the synthesis of multiple X-ray images is required. In this paper, we propose a rapid stitching method of digital X-ray images using template-based registration. The proposed algorithm use principal component analysis(PCA) and k-nearest neighborhood(k-NN) to determine the location of input images before performing a template-based matching. After detecting the overlapping position using template-based matching, we synthesize input images by alpha blending. To improve the computational efficiency, reduced images are used for PCA and k-NN analysis. Experimental results showed that our method was more accurate comparing with the previous method with the improvement of the registration speed. Our stitching method could be usefully applied into the stitching of 2D or 3D multiple images.

Several metrics have been reported in the literature to assess stereo image quality, mostly based on visual attention or human visual sensitivity based distortion prediction with the help of disparity information, which do not consider the combined aspects of human visual processing. In this paper, visual attention and depth assisted stereo image quality assessment model (VAD-SIQAM) is devised that consists of three main components, i.e., stereo attention predictor (SAP), depth variation (DV), and stereo distortion predictor (SDP). Visual attention is modeled based on entropy and inverse contrast to detect regions or objects of interest/attention. Depth variation is fused into the attention probability to account for the amount of changed depth in distorted stereo images. Finally, the stereo distortion predictor is designed by integrating distortion probability, which is based on low-level human visual system (HVS), responses into actual attention probabilities. The results show that regions of attention are detected among the visually significant distortions in the stereo image pair. Drawbacks of human visual sensitivity based picture quality metrics are alleviated by integrating visual attention and depth information. We also show that positive correlation with ground-truth attention and depth maps are increased by up to 0.949 and 0.936 in terms of the Pearson and the Spearman correlation coefficients, respectively.

스케치는 직관적으로 정보를 표현할 수 있는 수단이나 실제 이미지와 비교하였을 때 추상화가 심하고 동일한 대상에 대한 스케치 임에도 변화가 매우 크다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 스케치에 기반한 이미지 인식에 도움이 되는 특성을 표현하기 어려웠는데, 딥뉴럴 모델의 발전은 이미지와 스케치라는 두 도메인에 공통으로 존재하는 특성을 발견할 수 있게 해 주었다. 본 논문에서는 스케치에 기반한 이미지 검색 기술의 최신 연구 동향을 소개한다. 이미지 검색 외에 스케치에 기반한 이미지 인식과 이미지 생성의 연구 동향도 함께 요약하였으며, 스케치 기반 연구에서 주로 활용되는 데이터셋 및 해당 데이터셋에 기반하여 측정한 검색 성능을 포함하였다.

In this paper, a low price ultrasound image processing system is developed using DSP and PC. Ultrasound for image is generated by the 32-channel transducer. Ultrasound image is captured by DSP instead of the private image grabber board. Display of image and image processing algorithms are performed by PC. The image processing algorithms based on GUI are realized by software. So users without knowledge of image processing can perform the image enhancement more easily.
